Topic: Korado Korlevic


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  astronomy
Motivated by the problem of bright fireballs, the results of the analysis of the Tunguska samples and a growing perception that the next "Tunguska" is better if analyzed in space instead on the ground, Korado started the work to replace the Visnjan Observatory's telescope lost during the Bosnian war.
Korado Korlevic was the editor of the "Nebeske krijesnice" newsletter and referee for astronomical articles regarding small bodies and impact topics.
The main challenge is still the search of better, more effective way to motivate the gifted pupils, and for that purpose few very different educational activities are organized at the Visnjan observatory.

Korado Korlevic: "I brought eight students and four canoes and the day we had picked was an excellent one with good, sunny weather and calm water.
Korado Korlevic: "If you enlarge the picture you will see for yourself and we watched the thing in the water for almost 45 minutes, without seeing it move an inch but instead it actually drifted with the current and moved towards the Adriatic Sea, very, very slowly".
One place known to Korlevic is Brac island and the dragons cave: "The inhabitants carved a dragon in the stone inside some ten centuries ago and again you ask yourself where this belief came from".

Korlevic tog som bäst bilder av studenterna när de kämpade i det strida vattnet, då han plötsligt fick syn på något som påminde om en klassisk sjöorm (bilden här ovan).
Korado Korlevic: "Jag hade tagit med mig åtta studenter och fyra kanoter och vi hade valt en väldigt fin dag med sol och lugnt vatten.
Korado Korlevic: "Om du förstorar bilden ser du vad vi menar och vi betraktade den i minst 45 minuter totalt, utan att se den röra sig en tum.

One of Korado's friends in Zagreb drew plans, a factory of medical glass donated the 406mm lens, and the rest was, well, improvisation.
During the passage of the Hyakutake comet Višnjan was one of the 8 referral observatories in the world.
Today, using a very sophisticated computer program developed by one on Korado's kids, Višnjan can watch for, and track celestial bodies witch could eventually become dangerous to the life on Earth, as we know it.
