人与自我——记一次去天文台观察宇宙的经历
Hi, I'm Sherry, and I'm an amateur astronomer(天文爱好者), which means that I like to learn about faraway stars and planets and other mysterious things in space just for fun. I recently toured the Kitt Peak National Observatory(天文台).
The mountain the observatory is built on belongs to a Native American tribe(部落). I heard people in the tribe didn't allow astronomers to build the observatory on its mountain at first, but they changed their mind after looking through a telescope!
The mountaintop is perfect for star watching.
The Kitt Peak National Observatory has a collection of 26 telescopes! These aren't telescopes you can hold in your hand.
A. It sits high on top of a tall mountain.
B. Away from city lights, it stays dark at night.
C. All these telescopes need a whole building to hold them up and protect them.
D. One is a solar(太阳的) telescope that astronomers use during the day for studying the sun.
E. They started saying the astronomers had "long eyes" since they could see so far with their telescopes.
