For instance, if it says a telescope has 27x magnification, it means that an object which is located 27 metres away from you will appear in the telescope as if it's only 1 metre away.

An adult should help your child assemble the telescope and teach them how to focus and get a sharp image.

In general, we recommend aligning your expectations for these scientific instruments with your budget. Children’s telescopes can spark your child’s interest in astronomy. The big aha moments will typically come with a more advanced instrument, which will also be more expensive, with more features and higher magnification.
