Amateur Astronomy

Many things have changed in astronomy over the past half-century. Until about 30 years ago, there was a great (1) .... of charts and catalogs. Telescopic equipment was limited and there were few books on practical astronomy. Today, the range of off-the-shelf telescopes and equipment covers almost everything one could need. Electronic calculators and computers have revolutionized almanacs and chart production, and (2) .... the analysis of observations and the publication of results.

All this must surely make this the golden (3) .... of amateur astronomy. Well, perhaps, but a great deal has been lost as well. Now one may have to travel 80 km to find a sky comparable to that found in urban areas 50 years ago.

The last one hundred years has seen great changes in the life and living conditions of people. Hundreds of years ago, many of the things that we do  now seemed impossible. No one could imagine that people could fly, or that we could listen to music thousands of miles away.

Among the most important scientific discoveries are new medicines. With the new medicines, many illnesses that people died from fifty years ago are no longer dangerous. People today have better chance of living long. Surely nothing has done more for the comfort and happiness of the human race than the advance in healthcare.

            Now the Internet has become part of our everyday life. It is everywhere. More than a billion people use it, and the number of people who are online increases by 100 million every year. In 1994 there were only a few hundred web pages. Today there are billions.
