About it
A telescope uses lenses or mirrors to make faraway things look nearer and bigger. This is a sliding spyglass, the kind sailors carried: its tubes slide inside one another, so it folds up short and pulls out long, with a big lens at the far end that gathers light. Galileo Galilei used a small telescope in 1610 to see the moons of Jupiter.
The telescope starts pulled out, on a three-legged stand. Tap to collapse it, sliding the tubes together, and tap again to pull it out. With ✋ Hands-on on, pull the tubes out and push them back in by hand, one inside the other.
