What Is This Really About?

How can we see faraway stars and planets? Telescopes are tools that allow us to look at celestial objects that are much too distant to see with just our eyes. It’s like having super-vision that lets you peek into the universe's secrets. Telescopes come in many shapes and sizes, from small ones people keep at home to enormous ones in observatories. They capture light and make distant things appear closer and clearer.

💡Notice

Notice: Think about looking through a straw. How do you see only what's directly in front of it?
