Meaning of astronomical observation.
Astronomers have already
found 2225
astronomical bodies, which are dangerous
for the Earth.
This bodies cross the Earth's rail-orbit.
The size of these bodies is
estimated between 10 meters and 30 kilometers. Of course
the number of such bodies is large - about a million. We can't
perceive all
of
them as result of light
pollution. Only 300 such bodies
are well know to us, which means, that we
know their physical characteristics. The newest
researches say, that there are about a thousand
asteroids with the diameter of about kilometer, which are dangerous for us. On February 2003, astronomers from the Havaiian University found seven new moons of planet Jupiter. This giant has 47 moons, which rotate around the planet. Such discoveries require telescopes, whose mirrors are larger than 8 meters. This is impossible to notice with smaller telescopes, because the light pollution is large althought, this are the bodies, which are very near us in comparison with majority of remaining astronomical bodies. We also hear a lot about black holes, which aren't visual. They are practically invisible. We established their existence from changes, that occurred in space. Astronomical observations of this phenomenon mean a lot for our existence.
The meaning of searching
planets Amateur
observations Light travels to our planet for million of years. It gets lost because of light pollution in last moment of its way. .............LET'S DO SOMETHING TO PREVENT THIS!
