I think every human on this small planet should spend 15 minutes per day to watch and what is more important to listen to Carl Sagan. And not because it is about astronomy, but because it is about us no matter who we are and what we do.

Just follow the link bellow.

The Sagan Series

It is my personal belief that science is the only possible solution to all of our problems. Maybe I am wrong, but this is ultimate source of critical thinking that we all lack so much nowadays. Society can only benefit by implementing scientific standards into its life. Economy, ecology, transport, even army - all these things would be better.

Religion, wild capitalism, militarism, radicalism are one way tickets for humankind.  

Midnight is very soon and astronomers (observers) all around the globe are preparing to look at the sky and find something magnificent, something fascinating (Hello, Mr. Spock!).

Even from the point of view of a theorist, night is still perfect time for astronomers to work. At least, I think so. Maybe somehow it is hidden somewhere in our scientific genes. Who knows..


I have no idea why I have decided to start this blog (which I think will not be even popular) and why today, but Universe is sometimes unpredictable and you need to listen to what it tells you.

Anyway, I am Ilya. I am Russian, I am a grad student in Germany and I will talk about the astronomy from my perspective, my thoughts and feelings about it and science. So, whoever you are, stranger, feel free to ask all frightening questions you have about astronomy.
