While the unaided eye or binoculars can reveal much of the night sky, a telescope reveals so much more. Seeing Saturn’s rings or the Moon’s craters with your own eyes can be an “oh wow” moment.

Telescopes also come in a range of sizes, with a trade-off between light-gathering power, portability and price.
