Even the simplest telescope can be an incredibly powerful device – it can bring the distant wonders of the universe right into your own home or garden. It makes a great gift for a curious child or an adult who would like to expand their mind. It might support a lifelong hobby or even spark a little one’s imagination and dreams, inspiring them to become an astronaut, astronomer or even a telescope designer.

And right now, it’s the perfect time of year to buy one.
