For instance, if a telescope has 27x magnification, something which is 27 metres away from you appears through the telescope as though it's just 1 metre away.

An adult must be present to teach your child how this instrument works to ensure that it is assembled correctly and your child learns to focus the telescope.

When it comes to telescopes, you usually get what you pay for. Children’s telescopes are great for introducing your child to magnification and what it can do. The big astronomical eureka moments will usually come with a more advanced instrument, which will be in a higher price range, with higher magnification and more features.
