西内SINE

当人们看到的只是一架筒状的望远镜时，很难对天文学产生兴趣。你必须从一端看进去，从另一端看出来，即便那样，你也只能看到天空。但是当你放大时，它就看起来像艺术了，奥拉可能就是因为这样产生兴趣的。只要点击我在这个笔记里放的链接，就可以看到洛厄尔望远镜看到的一些东西，还有其它地方，比如火星，我们可能会去那里。这就像在看一本旅游小册子。当我们放大的时候，图片可能会更吸引我们。这就像一个心理活动，就像在实验室外想象化学变化，就像没有在另一个星球上，甚至没有靠近。
It's hard for people to get excited about astronomy when all they see is a telescope that looks like a pipe. You have to look into one end and out the other end, and even then it's just looking at sky you can see anyway. But when you zoom in big, it looks like art, which maybe is why Aura is getting interested. Just click the link I put in this note to see some things Lowell telescope has seen. And then there is looking at other places like Mars that we may even go to. It's like looking at a tourist brochure. Pictures may pull us in more when we can zoom in more. Now it's like a mental exercise, imagining chemistry without being in a lab, without even being on or even close to another planet.

火星天文学家珀西瓦尔·洛厄尔就像我们的科罗纳多。他像你一样在威奇托靠房地产起家。但后来他发现天文学更令人兴奋。他看到了火星上的线条，以为是有人在那里修筑了运河。他也让其他人兴奋起来。要是没有人对此激动，那么什么也不会发生。
Mars Astronomer Percival Lowell was like our Coronado. He started in business like you in Wichita real estate. But then he found astronomy more exciting. He saw lines on Mars and thought somebody made canals. He made other people excited, too. Nothing happens unless people are excited.
