The Explore Scientific Galileoscope is a build-your-own 50mm refractor telescope STEM kit that enables hands-on learning of optical principles while providing genuine observational capability. Designed by astronomers and optical engineers, this tool-free assembly kit includes all components needed to observe lunar craters, Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, and star clusters. The kit features a versatile 25x eyepiece and a custom accessory that functions as either a 2x Barlow lens for 50x magnification or a 17x Galilean eyepiece for upright viewing, replicating Galileo's original observational experience while teaching fundamental concepts in lens function and magnification.
