Have you ever wondered about the life in other galaxies that are million light years away from you? Have ever tried done cosmic exploration? Did you enjoy it?
Today I just want to talk to you about the joy of astronomy that comes when you start finding your way around the night starry sky. I remember myself when I first started this hobby (as I thought at first, which actually now is an essential part of my life). My interest started at school, when I was taking astronomy class. I had to read a lot, browsed the astronomy books for beginners, looked there for stars, the Moon, and other planets and constellations. After that when I played outside I started paying attention to what is really going on in the sky. I remember that I'd choose several stars and stare at them for hours hoping that either their location or something else will change. My parents notice all this, and decided to give me
binoculars as a present. I don't even remember if I was happy, more likely not. But by the time I discovered the real power of this mysterious binocular tool, I was the happiest child in the whole world.
Later on I read that binoculars can be of different types:
astronomical binoculars,
observation binoculars,
birding binoculars,
marine binoculars,
military binoculars,
hunting binoculars, and much more depending on the application. I still haven't tried all of them, and perhaps there won't be any need for that, but I know for sure that this hobby have changed my life, understanding, perception and even some of my values. And I'm happy about it!
