Last night with the help of my
astronomical binoculars I was looking at the night sky, at the moon, and all the stars I was able to distinguish. And suddenly something clicked in my head, I remembered that today is the exact day, when in 1965 was performed the first ever spacewalk. It was conducted by Alexei Leonov onboard the Soviet Voskhod spacecraft. This world known walk lasted only about 20 minutes, can you imagine that? On re-entering the spacecraft Alexei Leonov had some problems, because his space suit had slightly enlarged.
After all these thoughts I was proud, those first people were very brave men! I can't imagine doing all of that by myself. So, I think that we need to honor all the people who provided us with more information about space, sky, comets, stars, and much more. Thanks to many of them, and also to many of scientists who created and were working and are working now on developing a better sky equipment,
observation binoculars,
night vision binoculars,
camera binoculars, and other.
Now we have this opportunity to observe the best piece of nature's art - sky. It's free and we need to be thankful and proud!
