"Learn a craft and live freely"
introduced his work Wang Yaobin is full of pride. This astronomical telescope is about 80 cm long and has a cylinder diameter of about 20 cm and weighs 30 to 40 kilograms. The whole is made of solid wood and uses traditional Chinese woodworking technology - mortise and tenon structure (Note: mortise and tenon structure is a concave on two components. A connection method for connecting convex parts)
36-year-old Wang Yaobin, from Luoyang, Henan Province. "My grandfather is a carpenter, and I also like wood." In 2016, he quit his job as an engineer and went north to Jilin to learn skills and returned to his hometown Luanchuan County to focus on woodworking
Rather than returning home to start a business, he returned to his pastoral life. "Learn a craft and live freely" is his attitude towards life for many years. From wooden furniture to large ornaments, Wang Yaobin's handmade products combine traditional skills and modern creativity. It is quite famous in the local area.

took two months to make an astronomical telescope
Seeing the surface of the moon, he was deeply shocked
2020 A summer night in a year, Wang Yaobin accidentally looked up at the stars and evoked memories of lying on the roof to look at the stars as a child
so he decided to make an astronomical telescope. He read a lot of information to study the principles of astronomical telescopes. Procure necessary optical components to adjust the lens barrel and debug it repeatedly...
" Lens are the most difficult to do in the whole process. I bought a lot of frosted glass to polish it little by little. "
took two months, and the telescope was created and achieved a relatively ideal viewing effect. Wang Yaobin clearly remembered the sense of accomplishment when he first saw the moon's surface. "At that time, I was shocked and could see the craters and moon seas on the moon surface. I felt that I was very close to the moon."
△Wang Yaobin used his homemade telescope and his mobile phone to capture the moon surface.

"Embraise a bigger world"
"The children in the village have never used a telescope like when I was a child. After seeing the vast starry sky, Wang Yaobin immediately moved the built astronomical telescope to the village primary school with the approval of the school. The night sky was bright. This is a starry sky unique to the mountains. More than 200 children saw the beautiful starry sky through the "cannon" telescope under the guidance of Wang Yaobin.
"I asked the children what they saw
They said it was a big moon
I asked what they were on it again
They said
They said
There are so many round pits
It turns out that the moon is like this'
ml0 At that moment, the cheers of the children
resounded throughout the playground..."
In the days later, Wang Yaobin took the children to use this telescope to observe Venus and Mercury. He said that he would continue to improve the "cannon barrel" and hoped that children could see the beautiful Saturn rings in the future. "This is not only to realize my childhood wish, but also fulfill the "starry sky dream" of the children in the village, so that children in the mountains can also see the universe embrace a larger world. This is very meaningful."
