Get into astronomy the right way. Here are some great links to visit and learn more about practical astronomy, buying your first time telescope and telescope buyers guide.
From the stars to the planets in our solar system, from nebulas to galaxies, a first time telescope is a great way to make it possible for you to view the heavens. In this article about first time telescopes, you will find out about: * What can you see with a telescope? * How to buy a telescope? * Tips to buy your first time telescope A first time telescope has many benefits that it can offer you. A first time telescope is always an amazing instrument. Imagine having an instrument that can never become exhausted. The universe has placed billions upon billions of objects in the heavens, and with a first time telescope, you are enabled to start navigating, finding, and enjoying the vast universe we occupy. ::: What Can You See With A Telescope? ::: Moon – The moon offers many viewing opportunities, being so close to us, the Moon’s craters can be viewed in great detail. Planets – Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and some of the other planets in our solar system can be viewed with detail. Saturn shows us its rings, which made Galileo think that Saturn had ears many years ago! You can also see the moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Distant Objects – The first time telescope, especially a good first time telescope can show you great views of Nebula in the Orion constellation, and several galaxies in other parts of the heavens. Your first time telescope can see much more space objects than the ones stated, however, this will help you realize the huge benefits in owning a first time telescope of your own. Please bear in mind that most department stores, toy store telescopes may not show you any detail, even though it may say on the nice packaging. ::: How To Buy A Telescope? ::: A first time telescope is not one to gloss over, a telescope after all is a scientific instrument. The best place to buy your first time telescope is either from a dedicated telescope / astronomy store or online from a dedicated telescope / astronomy retailer. All too often people to satisfy the desire to view the objects in the sky, go out and buy any telescope they can find. I can’t complain as that is how I got my first telescope. Soon after, I realized that that is not the best way to go. My first time telescope purchased from a department store was shortly relegated and never used again. The poor mount made turning the telescope easy, but was no use with keeping the telescope stable to view objects in space. Most $150+ telescopes can be a great first time telescope, especially if they have been purchased from dedicated telescope sellers. Another benefit with going to a store that specializes in telescopes, is that you can tell them about your hopes and aims of a telescope, which will help them find a telescope for your needs, rather than simply getting what first time telescope is available. ::: Tips To Buy Your First Time Telescope ::: After years of looking up at the stars, I have a few tips for buying a telescope. You will need to know where things are in the sky, so make sure you have a star atlas. Even better would be to get a great book called Turn Left At Orion, which will help you with getting the best out of your first time telescope. You can find out more about this great book on our site. Another tip I can offer you is to get the best telescope you can afford, as these good quality first time telescopes will be one which will last for years.

Chess and Geometry – Teaching Kindergarten Chess
By: Frank Ho | 23/11/2009After researching the relationship between chess and math for over 10 years, I conjecture that chess is a geometry-based game, which particularly is related to the concept of symmetry.
