In the case of Jupiter and Its tour moons, we see these orbits edge-on. and hence the moons appear to move In and out along a line. Ixmklng at the sun directly with a telescope la a fine way lo go blind. Project the sun's Image through the telescope and on to a sheet of white paper Thia method is the safe way to view the sun and sunspots Q I have a 2tq" reading glas* and I also have a 4" high grade reading glass. Would either of these glasses serve for lenses In telescope? FA K. No. C A The focal length of these lenses are too short for a tele ; scope In a telescope, length means power Q Do the highest cloud* called "cirrus cloud*'' always move eastward?
