    Hoe om met sterrekunde as stokperdjie te begin

    In die nuwe Canopus (Kliek hier om uit te vind wat is Canopus) is `n paar wenke wat uit "Sky and Telescope gemelk is, oor hoe om jou sterrekunde stokperdjie van die grond af te kry.

    Vertaal uit Canopus:
    1. Leer die naghemel met die blote oog te ken.
    2. Lees! Lees! Lees! Biblioteek en Internet
    3. Dink en beplan om jou erste teleskoop aan te skaf, maar begin met `n verkyker.
    4. Kyk na sterkaarte en ander konstelasiegidse.
    5. Begin om `n sterrekunde dagboek te hou. Dit is pret.
    6. Gesels met ander amateurs en sluit by `n sterrekundevereniging aan.
    7. Jy sal weet as die tyd reg is vir `n teleskoop. Koop die grootste wat jy kan bekostig.
    8. Begrawe jou ego en vrae "dom" vrae.
    9 . Ontspan en geniet dit.

    Sunspot 1040 is busy growing again. In only 24 hours, it has expanded from a barely visible "sun-speck" to a planet-sized active region with 15 dark cores and a tangled magnetic field. Steve Riegel sends this picture from his backyard observatory in Santa Maria, California.
