A spotting scope is a small portable telescope with added optics to present an erect image, optimized for the observation of terrestrial objects.

They are used for birdwatching and other naturalist activities, for hunting, verifying a marksman's shots, ranging and surveillance, and for any other application that requires more magnification than a pair of binoculars, typically on the order of 20× to 60×.

U.S. Highway 1 (US 1) in Florida runs along the state's east coast from Key West to its crossing of the St. Marys River into Georgia north of Boulogne, and south of Folkston.

US 1 was designated through Florida when the United States Numbered Highway System was established in 1926.

The road is maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

Binoculars or field glasses are two telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects.

Most are sized to be held using both hands, although sizes vary widely from opera glasses to large pedestal mounted military models.

Astronomy (from Greek: αστρονομία) is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena.

It applies mathematics, physics, and chemistry, in an effort to explain the origin of those objects and phenomena and their evolution.

Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, galaxies, and comets; while the phenomena include supernovae explosions, gamma ray bursts, and cosmic microwave background radiation.

More generally, all astronomical phenomena that originate outside Earth's atmosphere are within the purview of astronomy.

A related but distinct subject, physical cosmology, is concerned with the study of the Universe as a whole.
