Yes, I am really into
watching the sky especially at night to count the countless stars when I was a
kid. I remember I sometimes laid down in the grass for hours to watch the
shining stars when in summer because I was fond of imaging the folk stories
about the stars.
Well, as my hometown
is a tourism city and there is no any industrial pollution, the sky is always
clean and clear, and I can see the stunning night sky with countless and
glittering stars and sometimes even the galaxy. But unfortunately in a
metropolis like Beijing light pollution makes the night sky invisible.
No, I have never been
in any sorts of courses about stars because actually there was no such courses
in the schools or university. But fortunately my grandmother once sent me an
encyclopaedia about nature in which there were loads of stories about stars, I
got the most of the knowledge about stars from it.
Yes, I believe that
astronomy has always had a significant impact on our world view as it can help
open our eyes, give context to our place in the cosmos and that can definitely
reshape how we see the world.
My favourite star constellation
is Orion. It's very easy to spot on winter nights. Firstly, it has a huge red
giant star, which may explode any time soon. Besides, it has a massive blue
star which is very young. On top of that it also has a big nebula where new
stars are being born - so it has everything !
