Short nights
Saturday, June 17th, 2006 at 11:10 pm by Almazbek DosmatovichJune is bad for us. The sun goes down at nine, and real dark comes at eleven, and the children's mothers want them at home. So we meet at the school at 21:30 and look at Jupiter before midnight. Even with the little telescope you can see the four moons in a line.
Galileo saw them in 1610 and understood that the Earth is not the centre. It cost him a lot. I tell the children: you see it from the roof for free.
