When you speak of advance astronomy, the common things that come up into your mind will be the stars and perhaps the moon. When you have a telescope, usually, it’s all because you want to discover new constellations and perhaps name it after you, watch Venus, which light up the sky especially during early morning, or perhaps a comet that is said to pass by at a particular time of the night. [ad#250x250-sq]However, there are more and more astronomers who would like to go beyond that, and pursue Advanced astronomy. Though the demand of better equipment may be there, they are more than willing to take the chance and explore portions of the universe that are not really captured by their bare-bones tools.

Types of Advanced Astronomy

Advanced Astronomy may include the following:

1. Asteroid Impact. Asteroids are usually found between Mars and Jupiter. There are thousands or even millions of them, and they are constantly moving on their own pathway, which they call the asteroid belt. However, for some reason, they move away from it, and a number of them are moving at a faster speed, ready to hit any planet or heavenly body like the moon. A kind of Advanced astronomy could be watching the impact of these asteroids on the surface of the heavenly body, such as the moon. You can start it by asking for information and being affiliated to your local astrological organization.

2. Watching the eclipse. Thousands of those who are into Advanced astronomy are traveling through China and Egypt not to watch the attractions but to see a spectacle called the eclipse. This doesn’t happen a lot of times, thus giving more time for those into Advanced astronomy to prepare. Moreover, since they can be detected before they actually occur, you can already gather important information such as the date, the places where they would be highly visible, and the time. For those who are pursuing such an Advanced astronomy, you may want to pair your digital telescope with light filters to avoid direct contact with sunlight, which can definitely harm your eyes.

Indeed, the scope of Advanced astronomy is growing. Those with highly powerful instruments can already observe other galaxies and solar systems. They can also take note of planetary alignments. Nevertheless, it would be ideal if you can find a group who share the same passion as yours. Sharing information will surely be of great help in unlocking millions of unwritten stories about the universe and in practicing Advanced astronomy.
