How do planets appear when looking through the telescope?
All eight planets can be seen with a small telescope; or binoculars. The Moon is a target that will show tremendous detail in virtually any telescope. Even a telescope as small as 2.4 inches (60mm) will reveal a wealth of detail. You'll be able to see craters, mountains, "seas", and a number of other fine details. The Moon rarely disappoints a first time viewer!
