Ji'nan times Author: Zhang Yong
after the partial eclipse of the 21 day of May and the lunar eclipse on June 4th evening, the astronomical spectacle of "Venus transit", known as the century elephant, will be performed on the morning of the city of spring on June 6th. Once you miss the picture, it will take 105 more years to see it!
"Venus transit", like "beauty nevus"
June 6th, "Venus transit" is the most desirable phenomenon in 2012. As one of the best observational locations in the world, if the weather is fine, we can observe the whole process from Lingling to Lingling in most parts of China. At that time people will see a little "beauty mole" slowly passing across the sun's face.
astronomers say the "Venus transit" is the most desirable, because according to the rules of the stars, it is found that Venus transit occurs 4 times every 243 years, divided into 2 groups, and the 2 intervals within the group are about 8 years, and the interval between the groups is 100 years. The most recent "transit of Venus" took place in June 8, 2004, and the next "Venus transit" phenomenon had to wait until December 11, 2117.
"this Venus transit" really can not be missed. It is suggested that the times give full play to the media advantage so that more people can enjoy this wonderful celestial phenomena. At the time, if the body is allowed, I will go to the scene for an observational explanation! "Zhang Zhongbin, 77, called a reporter from the ward of General Hospital of Jinan Military Area in the early morning. The income of the elderly is not very rich, but for many years they have been committed to the popularization of astronomical knowledge. 10 years ago, he bought astronomical telescopes at their own expense and often brought them to the square for citizens to observe the astronomical images free of charge. People kindly called him "the old man of astronomy" in Ji'nan. In fact, as early as six months ago, the elderly began to focus on the "transit of Venus" that will take place in June 6th.
eye protection angel, love spring city
"Venus transit" day happens on the day of the "national eyed day". When we know that many schools in our city do not have observation conditions, the Ji'nan Ming Shui ophthalmologist who has been working on adolescent eye health research and clinical medicine for many years. Zheng Xiuyun, Dean of the hospital, decided to donate a certain number of dedicated astronomical telescopes to some of the primary and secondary school students in the city. Mr. Huang Zaili of Ji'nan double Da optoelectronic Co., Ltd. has been a major in optics. He is an astronomical enthusiast of the iron bar and organizer of the Ji'nan astronomer Association, which has organized numerous observatories of public welfare astronomy. Huang Zaili indicated that he would be willing to provide astronomical telescopes free of charge for the general public to observe the astronomical spectacle of "transit of Venus".
4 afternoon, the Ji'nan Ming Shui ophthalmology hospital, Ji'nan double Da optoelectronic Co., Ltd. for Jiyang experimental primary school donated 2 astronomical telescopes and 200 special solar observation glasses have been sent to the children's hands.
in order to make the citizens, especially young people, to better observe this "Venus transit" astronomy phenomenon, the Ji'nan times will jointly organize the Ji'nan Ming Shui ophthalmology hospital and the Ji'nan astronomer association to organize the collective observation activities of the "distant hope Venus" in space. . The location of collective observation is located at Quancheng Square (front of Shandong science and Technology Museum), Hualian Plaza, Honglou Plaza, Zhangqiu Bai Mai Quan square and Jiyang County Experimental Primary School.
volunteers from the Ji'nan Association of astronomers will set up astronomical telescopes at 5 observational points to organize people to watch the astronomical image. The medical staff of Ji'nan Ming Shui eye hospital will also be at the scene to publicize the knowledge of voluntary consultation and eye care for the public, so as to guide everyone to observe correctly. Some special astronomical observation glasses for the public are also available for free use.

"Venus transit" is divided into five stages: Lingshi external cutting, sliced beginning, Ling, Ling, Lingling, end cut. The first external cutting (cut out) occurred at 6 hours, 9 minutes and 41 seconds in Beijing time, and Lingling occurred at 9:29, 35 seconds, and 31 seconds of 12:49, and Venus would leave the sun's surface (Ling Zhong). "The observation 'Venus transit' must not directly use the naked eye or optical equipment (such as a telescope) to see the sun!" Zheng Xiuyun, an ophthalmologist and director of the Ji'nan Ming Shui ophthalmology hospital, reminded the public that the right way is to "use a special solar eclipse observation card or a solar observation mirror, or a telescope projected on a white paper." Observe for 3 minutes, let your eyes rest. This is safer.
