Stephen J. O’Meara on exploring the solar system with binoculars

EarthSky

EarthSky often gets asked about what gear you need to see stars and planets in the night sky. Just a simple pair of binoculars will do it, said Stephen J. O’Meara, author of a new book called Exploring the Solar System with Binoculars.

EarthSky經(jīng)常收到讀者這樣的提問(wèn)：需要用什么樣的裝置觀察夜空的恒星和行星。史提芬?歐米拉的答案是一對(duì)雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡即可。他最近出了本新書(shū)《雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡之探索太陽(yáng)系》。

Stephen J. O’Meara: With your binoculars, you can monitor in a safe way sun spots. You can observe craters on the moon. You can see all the major planets, rings of Saturn, the moons of Jupiter. We have meteor showers. They can be the occasional comet that can grace the sky.

史提芬?歐米拉: 用雙筒望遠(yuǎn)鏡就能安全的觀察到太陽(yáng)黑子、月球表面的環(huán)形山、所有的大行星、土星光環(huán)、木星的衛(wèi)星等。當(dāng)彗星偶爾優(yōu)雅劃過(guò)天際的時(shí)，我們還能看到流星雨。

One thing to look for this summer of 2010, said O’Meara, is the planet Venus.

歐米拉說(shuō)今年夏天值得關(guān)注的是金星。

Stephen J. O’Meara: You’ll be able to look to the western sky and the place in the region of where the sun sets, and once it gets dark, about a quarter of the way up the sky, you will see an immensely bright planet. And it’s only going to become more and more prominent as the months go on.

史提芬?歐米拉：你去觀察西邊的天空，也就是太陽(yáng)落山的地方，暮色降臨后，你就能在夜空四分之一的高度看到一顆非常亮的星星。在接下來(lái)幾個(gè)月，這顆星會(huì)變得越來(lái)越亮。

O'Meara encourages anyone, even if you've never tried it, to go outside, look up, and explore the night sky.

歐米拉鼓勵(lì)每個(gè)人都到室外去仰望夜空，探索夜空，哪怕你從來(lái)都沒(méi)嘗試過(guò)。

Stephen J. O’Meara: If you don’t know the sky, in a way it’s beneficial because I can’t tell you how beautiful it is just to look up in wonder, to see the chaos of the night sky, to know that it’s intangible. To know that something grander than ourselves is out there.

史提芬?歐米拉：如果你還不了解天空，在某種程度上是件好事，因?yàn)楫?dāng)你探索星空，驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)夜空存在著一種無(wú)形的混沌狀態(tài)時(shí)，這種體驗(yàn)帶來(lái)的美的享受是我無(wú)法用語(yǔ)言描述。你也會(huì)感知那兒存在著某種比我們自身更偉大事物。
