Telescope, Device Used To Form Magnified Images Of Distant Objects. The Telescope Is Undoubtedly The Most Important Investigative Tool In Astronomy. It Provides A Means Of Collecting And Analyzing Radiation From Celestial Objects, Even Those In The Far Reaches Of The Universe. Look Closely At Materials. Antique Telescopes Generally Have Tubes Made From Brass, Pasteboard Or Wood. Those Used By Sailors Tend To Be Bound With Plaited Rope Or Mahogany, While Military Pieces Are Finished Off. If The Brass Is Not Too Badly Marked Then A Light Polish With Brasso Or Solvol Autosol Or Any Other Mild Polish Should Suffice. Then Thoroughly Clean And Dry The Tube. Always Handle The Polished Unlacquered Brass With Gloved Hands As Your Finger Prints Will Tarnish Eventually And Show Up. Early Telescopes Were Primarily Used For Making Earth-Bound Observations, Such As Surveying And Military Tactics. Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) Was Part Of A Small Group Of Astronomers Who Turned Telescopes Towards The Heavens. The First Record Of A Telescope Comes From The Netherlands In 1608. It Is In A Patent Filed By Middelburg Spectacle-Maker Hans Lippershey With The States General Of The Netherlands On 2 October 1608 For His Instrument "For Seeing Things Far Away As If They Were Nearby".

Broke quickly, not for play use

Bought for a pirate costume for my nephew, and it was perfect. It was heavy enough that it didn't feel cheap, but not too heavy that he would complain about carrying it around. It was dropped a few times and did not break; it survived all the trunk or treat events and walking around the neighborhood. This would also be a great prop for an adult costume; it did not look childish or cheap.

I don't think it's incredibly clear and accurate to look through but for a kids toy it's cute and has a nice weight to it. In fact it is pretty heavy so I would caution against giving it to younger kids who might throw it. It slides open and closed nicely. It's a good value for the price and is just what I was hoping for.

This telescope looks great has a good weight to it and is well made. But it is very small. We got it for a prop for a play and I laughed so much when I opened it. I could not believe it was only 3 inches long when closed and 6 inches open. It does actually magnify well. And is very cute. But not a large as expected.

We’re using this in our movie The Pony Espresso for spotting a UFO. We chose this as an inexpensive means to incorporate a spyglass into a scene. Sometimes it’s stubborn when extending the sections and the magnification is minimal at best. It looks great and we will probably use it in our version of Mysterious Island.

My 2.5 year old great granddaughter was thrilled. It actually works and is excellent quality. It has withstood many hours of very active play with no issues. Highly recommended
