Summary
About this course
The best way to practice astronomy is to go out to your rooftop, or to a remote area, on a clear night and observe the shining group of stars in the sky to learn more about them. In 1609, Galileo directed his telescope at the sky for the first time in human history, which opened up new horizons in exploring celestial bodies. Since then, the telescope has become one of the most important astronomical observation tools that both aspiring amateurs and specialists use. In this course, you will learn how to correctly choose and use a telescope to unravel the secrets of the night sky.
