When the lights were turned on, the siblings were in the dome of the observatory, and they saw a huge telescope in the center looking up at the starry sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Andro is just like he works on a daily basis, and all the instruments and equipment to be used are turned on and off. One by one, the devices activated, and they made a screeching sound.

Star fruit curiously placed itself under a huge telescope, through the window of the observatory, the telescope lens was facing the moon.

"Mr. Andro, what the hell should I do with this device?"

"Don't worry, wait until I coordinate all the equipment before the telescope can be used." With that, Andro continued to keep busy.

As astronomers, looking up at the stars is a daily part of their daily routine, and taking photos is also extremely important. It seems that every astronomer wants to find something in the vast starry sky, like the moon Jupiter discovered by Galileo in the Renaissance, whose moon system directly subverted Aristotle's delusion.

Andro has ambitions of his own, and in the sparsely populated western mountains of Tuva, silence is reassuring. Peace of mind is paramount to his work, and he takes pictures of the stars on a clear night every chance he gets, trying to discover something special, such as a new celestial body. "It would be great to have an asteroid named after you."

So he told the star fruit not to get too excited, and the telescope was going to place today's photographic negatives.

Da Ming pulled his excited sister aside, of course he also wanted to see this big guy.

Through the construction of the telescope, the star fruit clearly knows that this is a reflective telescope.

Its lens is two meters large, and when not in use, it is covered by a cover, only to see the cover of Andro's starting motor open. When it comes to optical telescopes, the precision of the lenses is almost everything. In the field of optics, Germany and the United States are undoubtedly doing very well, which means that the price of lenses imported from Germany is also very high.

The centerpiece of the observatory is the telescope, which is lifted directly by helicopter on the mountain, and the equipment outside of it is not particularly expensive.

Star fruit looked at Andro curiously, and he inserted the offset into the special equipment, which was considered ready.

"Do you have to take pictures of the sky every day?"

"Yes, you're a genius, and I'm afraid you can already guess what I'm doing." Andro kindly stroked the girl's cute little head.

Andro and Lilia are married, but unfortunately the two have decided to dedicate their lives to teaching and research, and they have no children. If you talk about children, then your students are your own children. When he is middle-aged, life without children is quite lonely, and he did not inform his brothers and sisters at this moment that he and his wife have planned to adopt a few. The cause of science cannot be interrupted, and it is very important to professionally train several talents to continue astronomical observations.

Andro directly stated his dream: "I am an astronomical person, and if I can discover new celestial bodies through astronomical observations like Tombaugh, Galileo, Huygens and other celebrities, my life's pursuit will be achieved." ”

Da Ming nodded, everyone has a dream, for scientists, exploration and discovery is above all else, this is not only a career, but also a kind of ten. "I hope you can achieve your goal, and at least you will be a scientific giant in Tuva."

The science giants are too much, flattery is loved by everyone, Andro smiled and shrugged, he walked to the computer and started to operate. After a few program inputs, it seemed that the whole room was changing, and the star fruit was really taken aback, and it turned out that the specific way of changing the perspective of the telescope seen on TV was actually like this.

The Cheng sisters were outside, and they were also startled. Lilia, who was holding the tea, asked for a moment to be calm, "Just tell me which planet you want to see later, and Andro will change the camera direction and focus." ”

Andro first had to do his job today, typing the coordinates of the airspace he had observed for a long time on his computer, and the lens changed. "Now it's time for the exposure, and we have to keep the telescope at this angle for about twenty minutes. There are other things we can do at this time. ”

So what to do? Lilia made a pot of black tea and prepared some biscuits.

Andro put on his reading glasses and pulled out a thick stack of photos from his cabinet. A huge table inside the observatory is where he and his students study, and his job is to look for differences in the huge photographs that have been developed. It's not a fun game, and it's hard to find out among the thousands of stars that don't have a marked change in position.

He could have avoided it, after all, the guests were here to stay overnight. But seeing Besica's cute appearance, and the eagerness to try, and most importantly, they are the sponsors of the observatory, and let them see that this huge amount of money is not wasted, and it is worthy of conscience.

This star map gives the feeling of star fruit is one word - big. The sky is pitch black, and the photos are mainly dark, and many of the stars are white dots, of course, the era is not a hundred years ago, and some stars are other colors. Almost all the people present were very curious, and they all followed Andro's example and held magnifying glasses.

"You see, this is Jupiter, this is Saturn, this is Sirius." He pointed at them one by one, and he was overwhelmed.

"I don't know how the Chinese student curriculum is taught, do you know the nine planets of the solar system?"

"I know!" Sonia raised her hand to speak, of course she was Russian, and Andro wanted to hear what Da Ming had to say.

The nine planets are nothing, Daming is very clear like the majority of Chinese, but star fruit said new insights. "So Mr. Andro, what do you think is a planet? What do you think is the definition of a planet? ”

The question she asked was interesting, and Androma became interested. Many people are controversial about the nine planets, such as Pluto, which is so small, and its orbit is also varied, and there is even a huge moon Charon forming a binary star system.

In this era, seven years before the launch of New Horizons, much of Pluto's knowledge is still based on speculation about other celestial bodies.

Scientists love to talk to people about related fields, and Lilia and Andro sit down a lot like listening to star fruit.

"Then I can make a guess that there may be one of those large and small celestial bodies in the Kuiper Belt where Pluto is located similar to Pluto. I CALL HIM ХЕНА, WHICH IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER THAN PLUTO. IT ALSO HAS A SATELLITE, CALLED ДЁСНОМИА. So can it be called the tenth planet? There is also the marriage star of the asteroid belt, Vesta, which is very large, why are they not considered planets. ”

Andro shook his head, it seemed that Sika also had some interest in astronomy. She also asked tricky questions, but unfortunately she was only a teacher in the astronomy department, and the definition of planets was a matter of international conferences.

BUT HER ASSUMPTION IS INTERESTING, MAYBE KUIPER HAS WHAT SHE SAYS ABOUT THE MYSTERIOUS ХЕНА.

The younger sister's remarks were listened to carefully, this is not an analogy of the little girl, there must be this star in that distant place, because she is from the future.

Xena was first discovered in 2003, when the original setting, this guy was actually much bigger than Pluto, and after a long quarrel, it was its appearance that turned everything upside down, and in 2006, the solar system became eight planets.

Even if the star fruit says that there is really a star of Xena, it will not help, firstly, Andro can only be regarded as a child's casual words, and secondly, who can find it in the vast starry sky, after all, Xena is too far away than Pluto three times farther away.

"One day people will discover Eris." Star fruit said casually to Da Ming.

With the words of star fruit, Andro has come to the spirit, what is impossible when the universe is so big?

The exposure of the photograph between the words has ended, the film has not been taken out, and the telescope can now be used freely. "Besica's words are very constructive, maybe the stars you are talking about are somewhere in these star charts, and I can only continue to look for them with a magnifying glass, just as Tombau did when he discovered Pluto." After saying that, he began to operate the system, and the camera also aimed at the new airspace with the motor. "Come on, I've got my sights on Jupiter, and you can see that pretty big red spot."

Bye-bye, star fruit was the first to stare at the telescope. "I saw it! See! That huge patch is really beautiful. She shouted excitedly, which whetted the appetite of others.

It was finally Cheng Manxiu's turn, and she had never expected this experience. Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, everything she can think of, she wants to see. Through the translation, Andro is also happy to adjust the lens for her.

The vastness and magnificence of the universe are exhilarating, and it also greatly stimulates the heart of Cheng Manxiu, a young girl. The planets in those books are now directly visible to the eyes, and what excites her even more is the star fruit's request for Andro.

The astronomer was amazed that this girl knew about the "Pillar of Creation" and aimed the camera at Ophiuchus as requested.

"The magnificent nebula, the feeling at the beginning of the creation, the vast universe human beings are so small." Cheng Manxiu spoke to herself in Chinese. Yes, thinking back on her fifteen years of life, an obscure ugly duckling is now going to be different, but in this universe she is a drop in the ocean after all, and she even thought of the meaning of life and the purpose of life.

It was late, the astronomical observations were not disturbed by the lights of the castle site, and the noise was blocked by soundproofing materials.

Walking out of the observatory, Cheng Manxiu was still haunted by what had just happened.

"Did you think of anything?" Cheng Manli asked.

"Sister." She stood and looked at her dear sister, "We are so small, and the world is so big. What are we born for? We are not men who cannot make achievements, we are only the smallest existence in the vast land. Is it because we live because we are a kind of life, that is, we must spare no effort to live bravely? ”

Cheng Manli was stunned, God knows why her sister said this. However, of course, human beings are small, and their lives are only 100 years at most. She patted her sister on the shoulder, "We are women, but we can live brilliantly, and the world will be more lively if we work hard to live." You don't live for others, you and I are free individuals, pursue your dreams to complete your life ideals, that is the perfect life. ”

Seeing the two sisters hand in hand into the small building, Carambola really didn't expect to look at the telescope, and Cheng Manxiu's long-lost heart for middle school actually sprouted like this. But her sister's words are quite philosophical, and the life that fulfills the ideal of life is the best life.

"Brother, now you know, we are all very small, even if we already have extremely high wealth."

Da Ming looked at his sister kindly, his palms coiled around her long braids. "yes, so we can't afford to slack off.

"Yes."

The younger sister showed a lovely smile in the moonlight, "Let's go, the hot water prepared by Aunt Lilia can also be used." You girls want to be clean, you have to soak comfortably. ”
