The Explore One Aries 50mm refractor is a beginner kids telescope designed to make a first look at the night sky simple and fun. A refractor telescope uses a front lens to gather light and form bright, sharp images, and this lightweight 50mm scope on its easy alt-azimuth mount is perfect for children and first-time stargazers exploring the Moon and bright objects.

With a 600mm focal length, it gives steady, high-contrast views of bright targets, and its simple controls make it easy for young astronomers to point and observe.

Who it's for

Ideal for kids and first-time stargazers who want an approachable, affordable starter telescope. Choosing a scope for a child? See our parent's guide to the best telescopes for kids.
