The incredible variety of telescopes presents a real challenge for first-time buyers. Sky and Telescope offers an array of articles to help you choose a telescope that will be right for you. Astronomy can be intimidating, But if you stick with it, over the years you'll eventually be able to recite the difference between a light year and the speed of light -off the tip of your tongue! I recently witnessed small children 

absorb dark adaptation as an explanation for why we use red flashlights at a star party. Thank you North Idaho Scenic Skies for eloquently fitting years of college into a small, understandable package! What is a light-year, anyway? 

Remember to thank Youk U for a brief summary of  dark adaptation.
