Kit for a telescope that corresponds in performance to the telescope that the great Italian natural scientist Galileo Galilei was the first to point at the starry sky at the beginning of the 17th century.
Galileo Galilei did not invent the telescope, but shortly after its invention in Holland, he made a decisive improvement. His telescope had a larger, outwardly curved collecting lens as the objective (towards the object being observed) and a smaller, inwardly curved dispersing lens as the eyepiece (towards the eye). Opera glasses are still manufactured according to this principle today.
The Galileo telescope from AstroMedia shows an upright image and has a magnification of ten times.
For teachers and students: The Galileo telescope is easy to build and is ideal as teaching material for secondary schools. Like all other Astro materials, it can of course also be used for other group and project work on the subject of astronomy and physics.
