点评:First of all, it is a good location, very organized, and there are many docents.
Everything is open-air and, of course, cool at night in April.
There are three telescopes to look into, two are outside and one inside a building with no roof:
#1 outside, showed Mercury. It was one small, very faint dot on the horizon.
#2 outside showed just a dot. It was one star far away.
#3 inside showed just a dot. It was one star far away.
#3 inside (another scope) showed a cluster of stars.
Each time they tell you how far away they are.
The last telescope was showing a picture of space on a computer monitor and a docent was telling what it was. In another room there was a larger TV screen, but no docent was in that room. None of this was very spectacular.
At 9:30 pm we were told to go to the ampitheater; a large, round concrete seating area. There were about 50 people there and a man started to talk. It was very hard to hear him because he really needed a microphone.
We were sitting on wooden benches and leaning back on concrete.
First he talked about how the observatory was built by donations.
Then he talked about the many upcoming events at the observatory - in detail.
Then he talked about NASA, when men last went to the moon, they are going again, as well as other things they are doing.
This took nearly 20 minutes, and the longer he talked the harder he was to hear. It was too long and drawn out, especially when we were sitting on wood and concrete in the cold; so we left. It was disappointing.
翻译:首先,位置很好,很有条理,讲解员也很多。
一切都是露天的,当然,四月的晚上也很凉爽。
可以观察三台望远镜,两台在室外,一台在没有屋顶的建筑物内:
#1 外面,显示水星。那是地平线上一个非常微弱的小点。
#2 外面只显示一个点。那是一颗遥远的星星。
#3 里面只显示了一个点。那是一颗遥远的星星。
#3 内部(另一个范围)显示了一群星星。
每次他们告诉你他们有多远。
最后一架望远镜在电脑显示器上显示了一张太空图片,一名讲解员正在讲述它是什么。在另一个房间里有一个更大的电视屏幕,但那个房间里没有讲解员。这些都不是很壮观。
晚上 9 点 30 分,我们被告知要去圆形剧场;一个大的圆形混凝土休息区。那里大约有 50 个人,一个男人开始讲话。很难听到他的声音,因为他真的需要一个麦克风。
我们坐在木凳上,靠在混凝土上。
他首先谈到了天文台是如何通过捐款建造的。
然后他详细地谈到了天文台即将举行的许多活动。
然后他谈到了 NASA,当人类上次登上月球时,他们将再次登月,以及他们正在做的其他事情。
这花了将近 20 分钟,他说的时间越长,他就越听不清。它太长了,太长了,尤其是当我们坐在寒冷的木头和混凝土上时;所以我们离开了。真令人失望。
