Zahra is in space, and you?

At the beginning of Ray Bradbury’s "The Martian Chronicles", a book I read a long time ago, there was a thought like this:

The ability to be amazed is a great thing, - the philosopher said. - Space travel has turned us all back into children.

For years, out of both curiosity and because of my field, I’ve been closely following space-related news and innovations with a kind of hunger. I’ve gone through every source I could find, everything that came my way. And every new piece of information amazed me even more. Then, without being satisfied with what I had, I’d start searching for the next one. And this just kept going.

Now, things are a bit different. I think I’m not the only one being turned into a child again by space travel. With the development of technology and the commercialization of spaceflight, space-related topics have already started to take their place in all of our lives. Whether you’re interested in this field or not.

Lately, we keep coming across these terms: rockets, satellites, space travel, space tourists, the colonization of Mars, black holes, radio telescopes, and more. There are many posts about them, and ongoing discussions everywhere. However, there’s one thing that interests me:

How many reliable sources do we have to learn about all of this, about space, in our native (azerbaijani) language?

The website you’re currently reading this on was created as a result of searching for an answer to that question. As they say, “instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle.” From now on, the things I research, read, and learn won’t amaze me alone; you’ll be part of it as well. We’ll light that candle together. We'll join Zahra on her journey into space.

What do you think, are you ready?
