Stargazing has long been a prerogative of scientists-astronomers, and young space research does not need sophisticated instruments, and giant telescopes. Starry sky, fortunately, open to all, but enough for observation improvised and mobile phone. Go to space travel is possible from its own Windows — just need to know a few secrets.For any study it is important to prepare. The first thing is to adapt to the dark eyes: turn off the lights and get comfortable (there is, of course, benefit those who have isolated themselves in the country). Matters the situation on the street — too bright light will interfere with the observations. You must also determine where it rises and sets the sun — the East and the West. This will help Google-map or compass in the phone. Now, everything is ready, you can proceed.Bioclite: East NewsДля astronomical observations experts recommend the use of binoculars 1050, but good service can do even a toy model. Lenses of binoculars will allow a better view of celestial bodies.Aim binoculars at the moon and stare at its surface. The light gray area on its surface is of high mountains, dark gray — dried layers of lava or “sea”, and the white area is the crater Tycho with a diameter of 85 km. If you watch the Moon every night, you can see its rotation. By the way, may 7, is expected super full moon — this night the Moon came as close as possible to the Ground and visually will increase by 10%.Night binoculars will help to see Venus — the brightest point in the West. Spring in the wee hours of Jupiter, Saturn and Mars form three bright colored dots. Mars appears in pale pink color, Saturn — in the shape of rings, and Jupiter can see some satellites.Applications and servicew observations of constellations useful mobile app — Sky Map (Android) and Star Walk (iPhone). If you hover your smartphone at the sky of the program instantly recognize the stars, planets and nebulae, giving them names and descriptions. Both applications have a useful function night mode or red light.Apps can help out, even if the sky is covered with clouds. For example, the app Stellarium defines and shows what is in the sky above the user need only specify its location. Stellarium automatically sets the time and date but can be changed manually and see, for example, the starry sky on the night of your birth.Want to wave to the astronauts on the ISS? Enter your location to resource “Spot The Station” to find out when the space station will fly right over you. It is easy to learn, from the Ground station like a bright star moving in the sky. Over Moscow, the ISS can be seen these days, until may 9.Onlinetranslationlanguage online broadcasts, space travel available in any weather, at any time and in any part of the world. So, you can follow what’s happening right now on the ISS, use the video directory on YouTube-channel NASA and the Roscosmos website to see the launch, landing and docking of spacecraft live.See the fascinating Northern lights in real time using the Live service Aurora Network. The application informs users about the discovery of Northern lights and transmits them through the three chambers, located in Iceland, Norway and Alaska.Also broadcast many of the Observatory. For example, the European southern Observatory allows you to observe online over a magical sky over the Atacama desert in Chile. A real gem — popular online Observatory Slooh, which open to everyone access to Eclipse, the Perseids and comet. For a relatively small fee, the Slooh user can “rent” one of the telescopes and control it independently, choosing objects of interest. Free access does not offer such opportunities, but allows you to peer into a mysterious space given up to 20 hours a day, without parting with your beloved sofa.Daria Chertkov
