A journey into the unknown. Planet Argan. New meeting. In the observatory...

Greetings, dear readers!

Continuation. The beginning read: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31.

The next morning we had to get up early to have time for the opening of the Observatory.

Affairs on this day was planned a long. Our plan was closely acquainted with the work of the Observatory, of course, to look through the telescope at the planets-satellites Ergana, and on the stars located close to this planetary system.

We also hoped that we would be able to study the star maps. We may be able to find, if not a clue of how to get us home, then at least get a hint in which direction we have to move.

Stone this time refused to join us, citing the fact that he already had previously scheduled a meeting with the chief of space operations, to defer or postpone which he can't.

At this meeting, he intends to agree that we will be included in the composition of any crew and given the opportunity to participate in research planets near space. Then, if everything goes as it should, you can count on the fact that we will be allowed to fly longer distances.

• Maybe we'll get lucky and we'll be able to somehow get closer to mother Earth. Maybe we can find another member of our crew. - said he and, saying good-bye until the evening, is gone.

We, too, began to flock. Quick snack right in the hotel room tea and sandwiches. Called a taxi and was soon on the spot. Not only were we not late, we had ten more minutes left.

Soon arrived by car and our friend is the Director of the Observatory Vic.

• What are you doing out there? he asked. - Get on the pass and go to the observation hall. You there already expects my Deputy Zach. He will tell you everything and show you how I will manage my urgent Affairs and join you.

Zach, really waited for us. As soon as Arthur and I entered the hall, he immediately ran up to us, said Hello, just like a grounder, and led the Observatory equipment, the main of which were powerful modern telescopes.

We listened to the whole lecture about the progress made by scientists of the planet, creating high-tech equipment, how much time, effort and Finance was spent on all this.

Indeed, the figures looked very impressive, but we did not come here for that. We wanted to quickly cling to the eyepieces of telescopes and enjoy the view of the starry sky, as well as a better view of the planet satellites.

Finally Zach realized that he was somewhat carried away, and allowed us to climb to one, the most powerful telescope.

Arthur wanted to was to cede me palm to championship, but Zach said, that we can simultaneously look in this telescope, so as he is equipped with several tubes.

For a long time we clung to the eyepieces, viewing unknown, and therefore so alluring, drawing a starry sky.

Then we switched to viewing the planets, amazed at their beauty and perfection.

From this fascinating show we tore Vik, who was finally freed and came to see, would we dine with him at the restaurant, raspolojennoi near the Observatory.

We, naturally, agreed, especially as felt that by this time already quite strongly were hungry.

I ordered dishes at the Vic restaurant. We still had no sense, how in the name of foods and what they represent.

During lunch, our friend asked if we liked the Observatory, what else we would like to know and see.

We replied that we would like to see the maps of the starry sky and visit the library, get acquainted with the history of space exploration.

• Well, well... I think it's not a problem, "said Vic," I will introduce you to our librarian right after lunch, and he will help you deal with the materials and documents.

That settled the matter. After lunch, Vic went on his business, and we, along with a cute old librarian Vood engaged in business.

I must say, without it, we would have long confused among the many bookshelves, looking for what we needed to work.

In addition, he told us a lot about the history of the planet, how its inhabitants mastered their planet first, and then space, how to defend against alien invaders.

This was a passionate man, listen to that could be for hours, so interesting was his story.

Then he gave us the maps of the starry sky, tried to help us sort them out, but, realizing that from him no one is useful, left us alone and engaged in their own Affairs.

By the time the Observatory was closed, we had learned a lot about the planet and near space. However, most likely, we will have to visit the local library at least once.

After saying goodbye to the staff of the Observatory, we returned to the hotel, where we were already waiting for our commander stone to exchange the information received and plan further action.

To be continued...

Thank you for your attention, until new meetings!
