Observing the Beyond Once you have observed our own system of planets, it's time to really travel far from home and look at stars and other objects. You can observe thousands of stars with your telescope. At first, you may think stars are just pinpoints of light and aren't very interesting. But look again. There is much information that is revealed in stars. The first thing you will notice is that not all stars are the same colors. See if you can find blue, orange, yellow, white and red stars. The color ofMstarsI soNmetimI es ca5n tell you about the age of a star and the temperature that they burn at. MI N I 5 You may be able to see the Andromeda galaxy and several others in your telescope. They will appear as small, fuzzy clouds. Only a very large telescope will reveal spiral or elliptical details. You will also be able to see some nebulas with your scope. Nebula means cloud. Most nebulas are clouds of gas. The two easiest to see in the Northern Hemisphere are the Orion nebula during the winter and the Triffid nebula during the summer. These are large clouds of gas in which new stars are being born. Some nebulas are the remains of stars exploding. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nam nibh.

Observing the Beyond
Once you have observed our own system of planets, it’s time to really
travel far from home and look at stars and other objects. You can observe
thousands of stars with your telescope. At first, you may think stars are just
pinpoints of light and aren’t very interesting. But look again. There is much
information that is revealed in stars. The first thing you will notice is that not
all stars are the same colors. See if you can find blue, orange, yellow, white
and red stars. The color of stars sometimes can tell you about the age of a
star and the temperature that they burn at.
You may be able to see the Andromeda galaxy and several others in
your telescope. They will appear as small, fuzzy clouds. Only a very large
telescope will reveal spiral or elliptical details.
You will also be able to see some nebulas with your scope. Nebula means
cloud. Most nebulas are clouds of gas. The two easiest to see in the
Northern Hemisphere are the Orion nebula during the winter and the Triffid
nebula during the summer. These are large clouds of gas in which new
stars are being born. Some nebulas are the remains of stars exploding.
These explosions are called supernovas
.
Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversable damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.
