Astronomy Tonight Facts of the Day
Astronauts Bravely Journey to the PlanetsThe new adventurers, astronauts are the new heroes of the human journey to the beginning of the universe and in the centuries to come astronauts will voyage to where-no-man-has-been-before in an attempt to provide mankind with the answers to questions asked by the first star gazers, and search for a new planet to be the cradle for a new human genesis. Astronomytonight Journeys to the Beginning of the Universe Take a walk in the darkness of the night to the darkest spot you can find with an open, clear sky and look upward at the heavens above you as the first star gazers did thousands of years in the past. Spend a few nights gazing upward at the lights in the night sky and you`ll probably at first think the motions of the lights in the night sky are random in nature. In fact, the motions of the stars above you follow an age old pattern science can predict to the inch using the magical language of mathematics. Journey to the beginning of the universe using a telescope from this same dark sky spot and the night sky above you opens into an infinity of stars you`ll find hard to believe. A journey that expands your mind and the possibilities of the universe around you and gives you the opportunity to be part of the human journey to the beginning of space and time in the years ahead of you.
