Childrens Astronomical Telescope
Children's Astronomical Telescope:
Real working telescope, up to 40X magnification
Our Astronomical Telescope from the University
of Cambridge range of Science & Education learning toys
makes an ideal gift for the more inquisitive child, encouraging
learning through playing and sparking the imagination. Although
classed as a toy, this is a real working telescope. Older
children may be ready for a higher performance telescope.
We therefore recommend that you also visit our
main telescope section before making your decision
- remember you can always call us up for further expert
advice. |

Telescope for Children

image
Astronomical Telescope with tripod
and high definition precision optics. This entry level
refracting telescope has a 30mm objective lens, collecting
suffient light to be able to magnify images up to 40X.
The telescope stops short of offering magnifications which
are beyond the normal capabilities of a 30mm refractor,
which we support. This is a real working telescope and,
while it is obviously not as powerful as the other telescopes
in our range, it will enable your child to see the craters
on the moon and other secrets of the night sky, generating
a lot of excitement.
The eye-piece is positioned at right-angles to the length
of the telescope, as this makes viewing more comfortable
when the telescope is pointing up into the night sky.
Although this telescope is called an astronomical telescope,
it can also of course be used for daytime terrestrial
use.
Package includes:
- Astronomical Refracting Telescope
- 3 Interchangeable Eyepieces giving magnifications
up to 40X
- Instruction Booklet & User Guide
In our opinion, suitable for 6 years old and above

Famous Scholars: Ernest Rutherford In 1895,
JJ Thomson, discoverer of the electron, appointed a young
Ernest Rutherford as one of his first graduate students
at the Cavendish Laboratory. In 1898 Rutherford left Cambridge
and spent the next twenty years establishing a world-class
reputation with his pioneering work on the structure of
the atom. In 1919 he was the obvious choice to take over
from Thompson at the Cavendish, where he created an outstanding
team of scientists who furthered his work in nuclear physics.
Many groundbreaking discoveries emerged from the Cavendish
under Rutherford's direction, in particular Chadwick's work
on the neutron. In 1932, John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton
first split the atom. |
