How To Get Started With The Online Telescope

The Online Telescope is a powerful and engaging platform for classrooms to learn about scientific thinking through the lens of astronomy. Students are provided with the opportunity to control powerful telescopes located at The Institute for Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, and in Chile. They can use their images to complete curriculum-driven Quests, share what they’ve learned with others in the community, participate in Workspaces, and all while earning points and leveling up in our gamified dashboard.
