“With a firm and steadfast mind one should hold under all conditions, that everywhere the earth is below and the sky above, and to the energetic man, every region is his fatherland.”

“Now it is quite clear to me that there are no solid spheres in the heavens, and those that have been devised by the authors to save the appearances, exist only in the imagination.”

“I conclude, therefore, that this star is not some kind of comet or a fiery meteor... but that it is a star shining in the firmament itself one that has never previously been seen before our time, in any age since the beginning of the world.”

Tale from childhood: Visit to the space museum.

Sophie and her grandmother decided to go to the space museum in the big city. So, they took a bus from their home suburb to this city. Then Sophie and grandma took the subway a few stations. They liked this long journey because it was interesting.

This place was big and cozy. There were many different telescopes that people looked through.

When Sophie looked through the telescope she saw stars, planets, and galaxies.

"Wow! That's lovely" Sophie said.

Then the visitors of the space museum were told interesting facts about galaxies. Sophie and granny listened very carefully.

Sophie remembered this trip well. She was tired, but very happy. When she went to bed she asked herself:

"Is there intelligent life in other galaxies?"

“It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.”

“I await your sentence with less fear than you pass it. The time will come when all will see what I see.”

“The Divine Light is always in man, presenting itself to the senses and to the comprehension, but man rejects it.”

Astronomy.

Astronomy is a science about space. It studies different objects in the universe. Our Solar System, planets, stars, comets, satellites, and galazxies are studied by astronomy. Other sciences, such as: chemistry, physics, and mathematics are important for it.

Since ancient times people were interested in the sky and stars. Astronomy was studied in Ancient Greece, Egypt, and Babylon. Epoch changed and science changed, too.

Nicolasus Copernicus, Giordano Bruno, and Galileo Galilei did a lot of important things for astronomy. This difficult science started developing.

Now, scientists use telescopes for space study. New galaxies and planets are being studied nowadays. The universe is very large in it there are many different stars and planets.

Our planet is Earth. It's the third planet from the Sun. The planet situated in the Solar System. The Sun is a star. The Moon is a satellite of the Earth. Also, in the Solar System there are other planets and asteroid belt. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are planets. They are different but revolve around the Sun.

The Milky Way is a galaxy where the Solar System locate. It can be notice during a bright night.

When we see starry night sky, we see a little part of large universe with a plurality of different stars including our sun. The Solar System is also a little part of space. Our planet, Earth, the third from Sun. Neighboring planets such as Mars and Venus have similar similar structure with Earth. For example many, many years ago on the planet Mars, there was life! But now just Earth has living conditions.

Scientists studying universe have found stars which are more bigger than our Sun; main star of the Solar System! Some of them twirl around another planets. But human was not on any other planets apart from Motherland-Earth. But may be in the future people can fly on other planets and even systems.

Universe has dark area and stars with planets. Also planets have one or more satellite of Earth is the Moon.

Sometimes we hear news or stories about UFO or Unidentified flying object. May be it has our "brothers" from another systems or universe. But somebody thinks that all of it simple fiction.

Universe is ome of the greatest mysteries in our history.
