Chapter 1015: Discovered!
Tang Xiaodong is an astronomy enthusiast. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he was in junior high school, he was very interested in an entry-level astronomical telescope introduced on the back cover of a magazine called "Boys and Girls".
He once wanted to use his work-study money to buy one, but after weighing it again, the money was given to his mother to subsidize the family.
After all, the family was not wealthy at the time.
When Tang Xiaodong graduated from university and joined the workforce, like many filial children, he bought supplements for his parents with his first month's salary, and bought himself an astronomical telescope after leaving enough living expenses for the second month's salary.
Although it seems that the astronomical telescope is actually more than the ordinary telescope, and the multiplier has not increased much, the instruction manual sent with the astronomical telescope and the popularization of astronomical knowledge still brought Tang Xiaodong great fun.
And friends know that in addition to his hobby of astronomy, he basically has no hobbies, no smoking, no drinking, no clubbing, no games, no different from otaku, and even when his job is stable and he takes out a loan to buy a house, he is different from others, and he chooses a multi-storey penthouse that ordinary people don't go to - because there is an attic where it is convenient to observe the sky.
Tang Xiaodong's city is a county-level city, according to the division of domestic cities, it is a fourth-level city down, because of the limited conditions, there is no pollution, so the sky is blue most of the time. With Tang Xiaodong's computer expertise, it is not a problem to develop in first- and second-tier cities, but he said that the pollution in those places is too serious, and it is difficult to observe the celestial phenomena at ordinary times, so he does not think about it at all.
For the sake of a hobby, giving up so much can be regarded as more individual.
In addition to exercising, Tang Xiaodong spends most of his time observing celestial phenomena and chatting with people who love astronomy in the forum.
Tonight is no exception.
Tang Xiaodong has no other hobbies, and now he is not married, in addition to paying off the mortgage, the next step in his salary is to buy an astronomical telescope. Now the one he has in hand is the fifth astronomical telescope he has bought. Not only is the magnification high, but the clarity is also good, which is far from being comparable to the telescope that just started fooling the rookie.
Tang Xiaodong once said in the forum that his biggest dream is to discover a new asteroid or meteor or comet, and then name it after himself, just like Halley's Comet, so that he will be content in this life.
Originally, the probability of success of this kind of thing was extremely low, after all, within the range that can be observed by the naked eye and even ordinary telescopes, all planets and comets asteroids have been named, but the "naughty boy" that appeared some time ago made Tang Xiaodong's dream more urgent and real.
As long as you are persistent, any opportunity may appear!
At this time, when everyone has eaten, most people are watching TV, or urging children to write and write, and the family chats, etc., Tang Xiaodong's parents are not around, his habit is to go directly to the attic, go out of the rooftop and start observing.
Today's weather is very sunny, when Tang Xiaodong was at work, he had already discussed with everyone about the civilian aircraft being attacked by a Japanese military plane, and after learning through the news that the pilot of the civilian aircraft was fine, he no longer cared about it - after all, he was not a military enthusiast, nor was he a nationalist, and he firmly believed that he just needed to do his own thing.
Adjusting the direction and level of the astronomical telescope, Tang Xiaodong squinted his eyes and observed slowly.
The lens swept over the moon, Tang Xiaodong squinted his eyes, there is nothing to observe on the moon, after all, there are only craters that can be observed on it, and they all have names - in fact, it is actually good if you can record your name on the crater of the moon.
It's just that it's too hard for an average astronomy enthusiast to do this!
Well, when it flashed, Tang Xiaodong seemed to see a black spot on the surface of the moon, but he didn't care, whether it was a bird, a low-altitude satellite or a mirror dust, it could cause such a situation, the most important thing at present was to observe the surroundings first, if there were any new discoveries.
Tang Xiaodong observes astronomy, not very casually, after so many years, he also has a little experience, usually, he will follow the ecliptic, divide the sky into a number of equal parts, and observe an area every night, although this may miss a lot of things during the day and night, but since he is an amateur, isn't it a chance to play? Once you do, it's a burst of luck. Even if you can't touch it, it is quite wonderful to see the combination of stars and imagine such a beautiful and majestic constellation in the eyes of the ancients!
Today, Tang Xiaodong is observing the regions on both sides of the moon, so it is inevitable that when he moves the telescope, he will see the moon, but Tang Xiaodong is more experienced, and every time he moves to the moon, he will jump over, so that he can rest his eyes.
After skipping twice in a row, Tang Xiaodong observed the entire area, because of the existence of the moon, today's observation is not very good, after all, the reflection is too powerful, and many places cannot be observed. He secretly decided in his heart that he would observe it again, and if there was nothing to gain, he would call it a day.
Adjusting the telescope, Tang Xiaodong slowly watched again while adjusting the angle, when he saw the edge of the moon, he hesitated, this time he didn't jump over, and swept directly over the moon...... Wait a minute!
Tang Xiaodong had already pointed the mirror of the telescope at the other side of the moon, and a black dot flashed in the corner of his eye, but it attracted him.
When I saw the location of this black dot just now, it doesn't seem to be here!
Could it be that there is something on the surface of the moon?
But it's impossible, in such a short time, it has run one-tenth of the diameter of the lunar surface, I'm afraid that even the fastest flight now is not so fast, right?
Could it be a satellite?
It shouldn't be! Satellites are usually on the surface of the earth, and if they were orbiting, they would have circled to other places for such a long time, and it would not be possible to be so slow!
What would that be?
Tang Xiaodong's heart beat violently, he felt that there was a great opportunity in front of him, if he seized it, I am afraid it would really be no less than leaving a name in astronomy!
Quickly moving the angle of the mirror, then adjusting the multiple, slowly magnifying, Tang Xiaodong saw the black dot!
After observing for five minutes, Tang Xiaodong finally confirmed: The black spot flew towards the moon!
What's that? Rocket? Space shuttle? Or an alien spaceship?
The lawsuit made Tang Xiaodong fall into confusion!
