The Galileoscope program is a grass roots effort to improve the quality of student
telescopes. The Galileoscope is a great example of what the International Year of Astronomy partners want to achieve in astronomy; encouraging everyone to look up at the night sky.
Viewing Saturn, Jupiter, and the Moon through a telescope is a transformative
experience, and can be available even in the largest and most brightly lit cities. Check in with the Adler Planetarium website to learn more!

  • Great video! Thanks!

    I know the Galileoscope is designed to get kids around the world interested in astronomy but its also got this 40 year old kid pretty excited...I just love this project and I can't wait to see what I can observe through this wonderful little refractor.

  • This 55-year-old kid is excited too. Got one on order, can't wait to get my hands on it!

  • that's normal with a refractor

  • un hombre con barba blanca y traje siempre tiene razon

  • i just learned my family owns the planetarium

  • thank you. I guess I'll just have to ask my brain not to reverse the image coming from my eyes ;)

  • mine too. on their website they said it was ok

  • yes!

  • My only problem: the image is upside down... are my lenses put up correctly?

  • I love this thing, and it vas very cheap! GREAT :D

    I just saw Jupiter... somehere about 60 degrees to the right of the moon at about 2 am.. It looks like there are 4 circles with balls on it, it's actually the 4 moons Galileo was able to see himself :D

  • Did you look in that little paper container. it's very small. When you get the big lens out, ther is a part of the wrapper that contains the other small lenses...
