Telescope

A telescope is a special tool that helps us look at the stars and planets. It's like a magic window to the sky!

Appearance

The Telescope typically has a long, cylindrical tube, often black or white, mounted on a sturdy tripod or robust base. It features a larger primary lens or mirror at one end and a smaller eyepiece at the other for focusing light. Some designs are shorter and wider, resembling a large dish.
