Advice for stirring your online community and fostering engagement

When you enter into any new area of science, you almost always find

yourself with a baffling new language of technical terms to learn before you can converse with the experts. This is certainly true in astronomy both in terms of terms that refer to the cosmos and terms that describe the tools of the trade, the most prevalent being the telescope. So to get us off of first base, let’s define some of the key terms that pertain to telescopes to help you be able to talk to them more intelligently. The first area of specialization in telescopes has to do with the types of telescopes people use. The three designs of telescopes that most people use are the Refractor, the Reflector and the Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. The refractor telescope uses a convex lens to focus the light on the eyepiece. The reflector telescope has a concave lens which means it bends in. It uses mirrors to focus the image that you eventually see. The Schmidt Cassegrain telescope uses an involved system of mirrors to capture the image you want to see. A binocular telescope uses a set of telescopes mounted and synchronized so your view of the sky is 3-D. Beyond the basic types, other terms refer to parts of the telescope or to the science behind how telescopes work. Collimation is a term for how well tuned the telescope is to give you a good clear image of what you are looking at. You want your telescope to have good collimation so you are not getting a false image of the celestial body. Aperture is a fancy word for how big the lens of your telescope is. But it’s an important word because the aperture of the lens is the key to how powerful your telescope is. Magnification has nothing to do with it, its all in the aperture.

最暖月の平均気温が22.4℃で西岸海洋性気候(Cfb)との境界部に位置しまた年間降水量が非常に多い。北部の南アルプス南麗に接する井川（葵区）は、豪雪地帯対策特別措置法に基づく豪雪地帯に指定されている。珠流河国（現在の伊豆を含む県東部）と廬原国を併せ駿河国とした。などが挙げられ、藤枝市など近隣自治体へのドーナツ化現象や、東京圏や中京圏への人口流出が加速している。田名を経て愛川町の半原へ向かう路線や、橋本駅より八王子駅、本数は少ないものの相模原駅から南大沢駅を抜け聖蹟桜ヶ丘駅（東京都多摩市）へ抜ける路線などが運行されている。
