The question buy drugs online no prescription reads, "The best place to aim a telescope or the best binoculars on the Moonis among the terminal line- the line between the Moon's light and dark hemispheres. Why?"
Reply:
You get high contrast near the terminator due to the long shadows. At the edge of light and dark is like sunset. At sunset, the Sun is at the horizon, and your shadow can be quite long.
"the Best binoculars" is a highly subjective word, and should be avoided in school science homework questions. I give the question a grade of B+.
