"Huh? Why did you choose this name? It doesn't seem like a little girl should make a choice!" Researcher Qu was a little curious, and named the asteroid after the scientist. There have been many occurrences in the history of the Purple Mountain Observatory. In 1990, an asteroid discovered in 1965 was named Wu Jianxiong, but those names were too serious. If the leader of the observatory did this song, it is not surprising that a young girl like Qi Yunxing should not use herself. Does the idol name name the asteroid?

For example, an asteroid discovered by four astronomy enthusiasts on both sides of the Taiwan Strait at the Lulin Observatory in Yushan National Park in Baodao, numbered 257248, they named it after their favorite singer Jay Chou; Researcher Qu thought that Qi Yunxing might Like these four young people, she will be named after her favorite singer or movie star. Unexpectedly, she came up with Lu Qiujian's name.

"Is there anything wrong?" Qi Yunxing blinked and blinked, replied in a natural tone, "The sky can not do without the support of mathematics, and the most helpful to me in mathematics learning is the" Learning Mathematics with Lu Qiujian on TV " "The show! I also liked his book" When Humans Start to Look Up at the Starry Sky ", so I just saw the newspaper on your table and thought that it would be better to simply name this asteroid after Professor Lu!"

It turns out that the girl in front of her is not without idols, but her idol is not a singer or movie star like girls, but Lu Qiujian as a scientist! "Okay, then that's the decision. I will use the name of Professor Lu Qiujian to submit a declaration to the International Asteroid Center and Asteroid Nomenclature Committee."

Researcher Qu and Researcher Zhao are very satisfied with the decision to align with Yunxing, because Lu Qiujian is a very hot figure. If you inform the media of this news, the Purple Mountain Observatory will quickly expand its influence. It is very good for this unit, so after finishing the application, Qu Researcher said to Yunxing, "Xiao Qi, you are going to prepare. I will notify several media to let them interview you later."

"Ah? Do I have to be interviewed?" Qi Yunxing didn't want to go, but the media interview was time-consuming. It might be better to see a few photos taken by the Schmidt-type near-Earth telescope.

"Xiao Qi, what do you think is the most important thing for an observatory?" Researcher Qu probably guessed Qi Yunxing's idea, he asked directly.

"A suitable star-gazing location? A pollution-free sky? Advanced observation equipment? Professional astronomical staff?" Qi Yunxing blurted out, a suitable star-gazing location could observe a wider starry sky, and the night sky without atmospheric pollution and light pollution could be observed For even weaker stars, advanced observation equipment and professional personnel need not be said, these are the basic conditions that an excellent observatory should have.

"You are not right! Address, weather, equipment and personnel are important, but all of them need a foundation!" Researcher Qu paused before continuing. "That's enough money, how can we get there without money?" Looking for a suitable stargazing location? Most of the pollution-free locations are in undeveloped areas. The cost of building an observatory in these places is not low, and advanced equipment needs to be purchased and customized with a lot of money! Similarly, we also Do n’t let the staff work hungry! It ’s okay to provide them with a salary that will satisfy their lives! ”

"But what does this have to do with my interview?" Qi Yunxing still couldn't figure it out!

"Because the discovery of asteroids is a mysterious thing for ordinary people, if it is published by the media, it will definitely attract the attention of many people!" Especially the asteroid is a beautiful little girl like you, Coupled with the influence of Professor Lu Qiujian, it will soon become a hot news!

"Xiao Qi, don't you know that our observatory also has an asteroid foundation?" Researcher Zhao explained to help, "The asteroid foundation's main work is to carry out asteroid naming, accept donations, near-Earth object detection and planetary science research, etc. Activity; it attracts many donations from astronomy enthusiasts every year and provides a lot of funding for asteroid research! If you are interviewed, more people will know the Asteroid Foundation, thus attracting more donations! You also It is always good to know that our observatory does not have a lot of funds every year. It is always good to get more funds for the observatory! "

There are many people who want to have the naming rights of an asteroid, but few of them can be lucky enough to find an asteroid. Although there are many companies that have launched the asteroid naming rights transfer service, those are commercial activities. , Not recognized by the International Asteroid Center and the Asteroid Nomenclature Committee, so donating to professional institutions such as the Purple Mountain Observatory became the best choice; there are many asteroids discovered by these units every year, as long as enough are smashed out Money, then you can name a certain asteroid.

For this reason ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ After the establishment, the Asteroid Foundation won many donations, but it is still not enough for the research work of the Purple Mountain Observatory! So the two researchers wanted to use this opportunity to strike the reputation of the Asteroid Foundation and attract more donations to the Foundation.

"I get it!" Qi Yunxing nodded. "Then do as you say! But I will say something deeper to those reporters when the time comes?" She understood that only when the observatory became better and better could she observe the stars better. So even if there was some resistance, she agreed.

"It's very simple, you just need to tell the reporters about the process of discovering the asteroid and the reason for naming it! Of course, the most important thing is to tell them about the Asteroid Foundation!" Researcher Qu looked at his watch. "Now It's not too early, let's go and talk while eating! I will tell you how to deal with the media! When this matter is over, I will apply to the superior to give you more time to use the telescope! "Researcher Qu Knowing the way of employing people well, he also threw a sweet date while giving the task.

This condition conquered Qi Yunxing in an instant. She braved the stars and began to imagine how to make good use of the newly increased observation time!

It ’s not a big news to discover a new asteroid, but it ’s different if the discoverer is a beauty, and even better is that the asteroid is named after Lu Qiujian. After receiving the news, many reporters immediately Go to the Purple Mountain Observatory, ready to interview Yunxing!
