The picture of the starry sky fascinates, excites the imagination, makes you think about the structure of the Universe, life on other planets, the laws by which the Cosmos lives. To an uninitiated observer, the arrangement of the stars seems chaotic, disorderly, and the stars themselves are tiny luminous points, which, it seems, can be reached by hand. In fact, the size of these stars often exceeds the size of the Earth, but in order to at least consider the outlines of some of them, you will have to try. There are several ways to see the stars.
It is necessary
Telescope, spyglass, ticket to the planetarium or observatory, computer with Internet access
Instructions
Step 1
It is best to go out of town for this, away from artificial light sources. Choosing a clear cloudless night and armed with a map of the starry sky, you can view and determine the location of the Moon, the Milky Way, Venus, Mars, bright stars, constellations.
Step 2
Through a mobile telescope or a telescope.
These tools are not powerful enough, so the stars will appear as bright points surrounded by rays.
Step 3
At the observatory.
In the absence of clouds in the sky, you can see the stars through powerful telescopes installed in special open areas of observatories. It is best to do this in the evening and at night, from about 21.00.
Step 4
At the planetarium.
A visit to the planetarium will provide an opportunity to see the celestial sphere, stars, planets and their satellites, comets, meteorites, panoramas of the planets closest to the Earth.
Step 5
Through the Internet.
There are web services that allow you to view images of stars, planets, galaxies, as well as images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The quality of the images provided by such services is very high and allows you to see those stars that can only be seen from Earth through powerful telescopes installed at observatories.
