Chapter 508: There is a star called Ji Xun
Chapter 508 There is a star named Ji Xun
Jiang Junlin drank all the soup he had for a late-night snack. His diet had always been very regular. He ate very little for dinner and was even more restrained for late-night snacks. He was terrifyingly self-disciplined.
This late-night snack is very honorable.
After supper, Jiang Junlin took Ji Xuan up to the top floor for a walk to eat. There were two astronomical telescopes on the top floor. Ji Xun was amazed at the sight, "Why are there telescopes?"
“There are some astronomy enthusiasts on our floor. They spent their own money to buy two telescopes and come up to watch the stars during their night break.” Jiang Junlin said.
Today the moonlight is very good, but there are no stars. There is a lot of pollution in the city, and there are basically no stars visible. However, the telescope is different. Ji Xun came up to play with it and found that he could not handle the telescope.
Jiang Junlin came over and stood behind him, teaching him how to use it. Ji Xun simply leaned back, and Jiang Junlin's lips curled up slightly, "Have you learned it?"
“No, brother, teach me again.”
Jiang Junlin taught him again and asked him to observe by himself. Ji Xun saw the stars, and it was a large starry sky. Ji Xun asked, "Brother, where is the Cowherd and the Vega?"
Jiang Junlin looked at it again and pointed out the direction to him. Ji Xun still didn't understand it. There were many stars in the sky. Jiang Junlin patiently taught him to identify the direction. Ji Xun never went to school and later learned the knowledge abroad. I know very little about the history, culture, humanities, customs, myths and stories of the East, and I have never cared enough about the Cowherd and the Vega.
After confirming the direction, Ji Xun said, "The distance is not very far."
“Only 16.4 light years.”
Ji Xun, “…”
That’s sloppy!
Jiang Junlin laughed and rubbed his hair, "What other stars do you want to see?"
"The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are so far apart, but they can only see each other once a year. We are even worse off than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. We are not even 16.4 kilometers apart." Ji Xun blinked and asked jokingly, "Can I apply to meet once a day? "
Jiang Junlin couldn't satisfy his wish. He was indeed very busy recently and had no time to spare. He never agreed to things he couldn't do. Ji Xun understood and held him nostalgically.
Jiang Junlin gently taught him to look at the stars. For the first time, Ji Xuan learned that the stars that looked exactly the same actually had their own names.
“Why are you so familiar with astronomy?”
"In my spare time, I also come up to look at the stars." Jiang Junlin said, "It's a kind of pastime. Watching the stars can make people feel particularly calm. By the way, there is a star called Ji Xun." "Really?" Ji Xun was surprised, "Which one?"
It is difficult for Jiang Junlin to describe it, because these two telescopes are very observable and can only tell him a rough position, "at your three o'clock direction."
"I am at three o'clock, and there are more than a hundred stars visible to the naked eye." Ji Xun couldn't suppress his mood, "Which one?"
"It is difficult to observe with the naked eye, and special equipment is required." Jiang Junlin saw that he was in a happy mood, and he also became happy. "This is an asteroid discovered two years ago. It is called Ji Xun. I have the right to name it." ”
“Really or not?” Ji Xuan looked at him in surprise, and the stars in the sky fell into his eyes.
Jiang Junlin found a news report for him. It was a report from the astronomy department. This newly discovered asteroid was indeed called Ji Xun. No one who was not an astronomy enthusiast cared about this kind of thing. It was also the first time that Ji Xun knew about it. Among the stars in the sky, there is one named Ji Xun, and once the asteroid is named, it will not be changed.
His heart was like countless deer running, jumping, and hitting his chest recklessly. Ji Xun's whole body was shining, "Brother, why do you have the right to name it? Did you buy it?"
How much does it cost to buy the naming rights of an asteroid?
He also wants to buy the naming rights of a planet and name it Jiang Junlin.
“I didn’t buy this.” Jiang Junlin chuckled.
“Did you discover it?”
“I don’t have the ability either.”
"What's going on? Tell me quickly, I want to buy one too." Ji Xun became extremely excited. His blood heated up when he thought of the two stars in the sky, one named Ji Xun and the other named Jiang Junlin.
"Maybe the Jidao has a fund to support astronomical institutions all year round. They found an asteroid two years ago and came to me and specifically asked me if I wanted to name the asteroid." Jiang Junlin said humorously, "The money is too much. If there are too many, they will feel guilty if they are not given the right to name.”
