... Большинству любителей недоступны крупные телескопы типа как Алькор и Мицар,и они останавливают свой выбор на таких недорогих компактных и моблильных инструметнах как зрительные трубы и монокуляры. Самые распространенные среди них - ЗРТ-457 и МП 20х60. За три года работы с этими инструментами я выявил не мало их скрытых достоинств, впрочем как и недостатков и хочу ниже в кратце рассказать о них. ... Поговорим об оптических достоинствах трубы. Они несколько хуже, чем у монокуляра. ...

... Astronomy news . ... Double Engine Fuels Star's Remarkable Nebula . ESO has just released a stunning new image of a field of stars towards the constellation of Carina (the Keel). ... Interactions in this double system, surrounded by a dusty disc, may be the engine fuelling the star s remarkable nebula. The new image, showing a very rich field of stars towards the Carina arm of the Milky Way, is centred on the star HD 87643, a member of the exotic class of B[e] stars [1]. ...

... The Sun is the closest star to us, and a regular object in our Galaxy. Solar activity manifests itself, primarily, in solar flares - episodic explosive energy release in the form of electromagnetic radiation and high energy particles (electrons and protons). The nature of the flares is related to cyclic variations of global and local magnetic fields in the atmosphere of the Sun. ... Such formations are called active regions. ...
