One of the better side effects of the country being told to stay home is just how much the air quality and visibility has improved. Major cities have always had trouble getting a clear view of our night sky, but with most cars off the road there has been a huge reduction in air pollution, giving way to some awesome views at night.
For those stuck at home with kids, it's tough coming up with new ideas to keep the little ones entertained. It's even tougher thinking of cheap ways to keep them busy. This cheap telescope deal is a great way to get involved with your kids while teaching them about our great, expansive sky. Celestron telescopes are low cost, excellent entry level telescopes suitable for kids and beginners hoping to get a closer look at some of the surrounding planets and stars out in our night sky.
