Get to know fascinating sights in our solar system and beyond with the National Geographic 70mm refractor telescope. This telescope's 70mm aperture is large enough to deliver revealing looks at the Moon, planetary features like Jupiter’s cloud belts, and some of the brightest deep-sky objects.

Two interchangeable eyepieces are included to allow observers to experiment with magnifications of 20x and 40x. The telescope also comes with a solar filter to allow observers to view the Sun safely, a red dot finder to aid in locating observing targets, and an adapter to help users capture and share images using their own smart devices.

Additional features include a full-size tripod, a mount designed for smooth telescope movements, and a travel bag and dew shield cap to protect the equipment during storage and transit.

Also, for safe solar viewing, Explore Scientific Eclipse Glasses are rated ISO12312–2, tested and approved by ICS Labs for Direct Observation of the Sun. In addition, Explore Scientific Eclipse Glasses are meant to be used by anyone from adult to children under 14 years of age, which requires stringent ASTM testing and compliancy. 

Made with an advanced impregnated polymer filter material. These safe solar filtered solar viewing glasses are the ultimate in protection, and produce a natural yellow-orange solar image. The metallic polymer filter material used in these glasses are safety tested to extremely tight requirements.

Encapsulated and laminated in two layers of sturdy chipboard, each eye size of the front of the glasses measures a generous 33.7mm x 44.3mm providing superior eye comfort for viewers ages 8 and up. Large right and left temples with double matrix scores give adjustment for a good fit and block stray light. Attractive design with black and gold printing on the outside with “Sun Catcher” logo, and clear printed instructions for proper use and care on the inside.
