A Window to the Once Secret Sky
Explanation:
If there was a window nearby to the distant universe -- would
you look through it?
Quite possibly, there is, in the form of a small
telescope
.
A local skykeeper could be a
relative
or a stranger and is frequently
proud to show off the
sky free
of charge.
Through a window called an
eyepiece
,
on a
dark cloudless night
, you can see
clusters of stars
,
rings around Saturn
,
glowing
nebulas of gas
,
craters on the Moon
, and
galaxies across
the universe.
The technology to create this window -- and the secret
sky it reveals -- was
unknown only 400 years ago
.
Modern sky opportunities may occur this Saturday,
Astronomy Day
, at local amateur astronomy clubs, universities,
science centers, or planetariums.
Pictured above
is a small telescope being deployed at picturesque
Hohe Wand, about 50 kilometers south of Vienna,
Austria
.
The
spin of the Earth
is visible in the above photo as the long
star trails
.
