It's fun to imagine what position the moons will be in from night-to-night. Check in on Jupiter every night when it's visible to see its four moons in a different position as they orbit the gas giant planet. Jupiter also makes for a unique sight, and on clear evenings you'll be able to see the giant planet's four brightest moons (named Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) which appear as four bright dots surrounding Jupiter. Seeing ringed Saturn in real-time through a telescope like the FunScope is a memory young astronomy hobbyists are certain to treasure for a lifetime. The FunScope telescope's 76mm aperture, or diameter, can also obtain good views of bright planets such as Jupiter and Saturn. You'll be amazed that you're looking at the same Moon you see out almost every night, since it looks so much more detailed and interesting when seen through the FunScope. "Wow, that bright crater is named Tycho!īut what can you see with it? A lot! With the FunScope, the whole family can see craters, valleys, and mountains on the Moon in exquisite detail. Or, you can keep the MoonMap 260 handy while you look through the FunScope to help identify lunar features as you observe them. Try a fun family activity of sketching craters and other Moon features you see in the FunScope eyepiece, and then find them on the included MoonMap 260 to discover their official names. With locations and names of over 260 features on the Moon such as craters, mountains, valleys, "seas" and more, the included Orion MoonMap 260 ($12.99 value) is a great tool for beginning astronomers. Use the included MoonMap 260 to learn the names of craters and other Moon features you see with the FunScope. ![]()
