Kids reaction to seeing Jupiter through a telescope for the first time

This is a beautiful moment. I hope to have the same opportunity one day.

Turn on the sound to hear the kids reactions.

@mpgxsvcd that looks like a cartoon, is that how it really looks through a telescope and how much can you see with a decent telescope? Price? I want to look at galaxies?

And Jupiter has over 60 moons but yea, 4 major ones. I just saw a special on tv about how we are trying to build a robot machine to explore the ocean on Europa hoping to find Microbes of some kind projected for about 2048

@whole27 Yes that is how it looked though my relatively inexpensive telescope($250 + mount). For galaxies you really need a wider aperture. Either use a fast lens or a really expensive telescope. I will be trying the fast lens tomorrow.
