Dr. Robertson is able to explain how binoculars work in a way that both students and teachers can understand. In this article, he provides hands-on activities that guide his readers through all of the basics of how light properties work so that images that are far away can be seen more easily. With a flashlight, a pan of water, 2 magnifying lenses and a light bulb, he makes it is easy to understand how binoculars bring distant objects into focus, up close and personal. So do you want to see the Moon or Jupiter? No problem. But as Dr. Robertson jests, don’t expect to see Pluto’s tears from being demoted to a dwarf planet.
