User questions & answers

Question:	So is this pretty much a telescope shaped, electronic view master
Answer:	It's nothing like the 80s viewmaster that you remember. yes it has built-in images but they are so cool! This is way better for little kids than trying to use a real telescope.
Question:	So kids can't actually see anything...other than 24 space images provided by educational insights? telescope doesn't work in any way
Answer:	Not a real telescope. The images are amazing thought - perfect for little kids to see up close the solar system and planets. There is NO WAY they can do this with a real telescope.
Question:	Does anyone know how I can get this and be sure it doesn't arrive broken
Answer:	When you get the mail carriers to actually care about the packages and not treat them like footballs then you can get your guarentee
Question:	how is the korean audio? is it pretty accurate
Answer:	Hello, I would have to say yes. Each language (Korean included) was recorded by a professional voice over artist who was a native speaker. And that each language on the toy was also tested by a native speaker. So all languages should be great.

Meet the Inventor: Nancy Balter

Nancy Balter has always loved science. Her passion paid off with a B.A. in Biology from Yale University and an M.S. in Science Education from the University of Southern California. Nancy has combined her love of science and invention, with her passion for education, with Nancy B’s Science Club in hopes of keeping kids curious and engaging their natural excitement for science!

STEM Learning

This product features STEM based fun where the idea of educating young learners in four specific disciplines—science, technology, engineering and mathematics—creates the opportunity for open ended discoveries and education through play.

Observing & exploring the surface of the moon/Exploring

Thanks to scientific observation of space through telescopes, Galileo was able to discover the moons of Jupiter and change the way we think about the Universe forever. Today, young explorers can make their own observations, an essential element to the scientific method!

Technology

Real life science tools can help kids develop the skills and experience they need to succeed through technology, math, and science. With STEM based technology learning, the sky—or even the universe, is the limit!

Introduction to STEM careers

Who could have guessed that Joy’s love of the rock and mountain formations that abound in her native Colorado would have led her all the way to Mars? Well, not quite all the way, but Joy has devoted her career to studying the planet and, as the Curiosity Rover Deputy Project Scientist and in previous roles on other projects, she has participated in the successful landings of four different rover projects on Mars!

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the power source for this unit
Answer:	batteries ,,,its an amazing educational toy !!! my kids love it!!!
Question:	does this project the planets individually
Answer:	Yes, each planet is its own image. If you have other questions, feel free to reach us at [email protected].
Question:	What are the approximate dimensions of the assembled unit? (I want to put it in a small backpack with a few beginning astronomy books
Answer:	I don't have it with me right now but it is maybe 14 inches long and has a diameter of about 3 inches. It would be pushing it to put it into a small backpack with a lot more stuff, but it would fit if pack were rather empty. My grandson is 9 and he carries it with him everywhere. He absolutely loves it and is quite into astronomy.
Question:	My child not really interested in the constellations at this time but very serious about the planets. How well are the planets depicted in this item
Answer:	In my opinion, this item definitely focuses more on the whole solar system and the constellations, rather than individual planets. If this were my child expressing a profound interest in the planets, I’d look elsewhere to quench that potentially life changing curiosity! Good luck!

User questions & answers

Question:

How does this work? I cannot see anything near or far when looking though the lens

Answer:

We designed our Explorer Scope, and our other GeoSafari Jr. scopes based on children’s pupillary distance. This is the measure of the distance between an individual’s pupils, and is always measured in millimeters. The average pupillary distance for children is approximately 41-55mm and the Explorer Scope is 47mm. Our other GeoSafari Jr. scopes (Kidnoculars and SubScope) are 48.5mm. The average pupillary distance for adults range from 54-68mm. The reason why most adults may not be able to properly view through the Explorer Scope is due to the alignment for their line of vision is not matched with the pupillary distance of 47 mm. Hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	What kinds of things are on the slides
Answer:	20 slides
Question:	How many slides are there
Answer:	You could do so but may have to hold them in place and the voice keeps going on to place a slide in place. The slides which come with the unit are designed to fit, click into, the holder section allowing the unit to determine what slide you are looking at. This unit only has a weak 5x power with no option to focus. Looking at other slides might work but I believe it would be unimpressive.
Question:	Can other slides be used with this microscope
Answer:	Yes, I have a 4 yr old.. There are only so many slides and it gets old real quick.
Question:	Would this be too young for a 7 year old
Answer:	Hello,This Microscope is made of a hard plastic, making it lighter and very portable. Thank you for your inquiry,National Geographic Toys Customer Support
