In 2016, he quit his job as an engineer
Go north to Jilin to learn the art

△ Some of Wang Yaobin's handmade wood products
It took two months to make an astronomical telescope
He was deeply shocked to see the surface of the moon
A summer night in 2020
Wang Yaobin accidentally looked up at the starry sky
Evoked childhood
Memories of lying on the roof and watching the stars
So I decided to make a homemade astronomical telescope
He flipped through a lot of materials
Study the principles of astronomical telescopes
Procurement of necessary optical components
Adjusting the lens barrel, repeatedly debugging...
"Lenses are the hardest thing to do in the whole process
I bought a lot of frosted glass
A little bit to polish, try"
It took two months for the telescope to be built
It also achieves a more ideal viewing effect
Wang Yaobin remembered it clearly
Seeing the sense of accomplishment on the lunar surface for the first time
"It was a particular shock
You can see the craters on the surface of the moon and the moon sea
I feel like I'm so close to the moon."
△ Wang Yaobin used homemade telescopes and mobile phones to photograph the surface of the moon
Let the children in the mountains also look up at the stars
"Embracing the Bigger World"
"The children in the village, just like when I was a child
Never used a telescope to see the vast starry sky."
Wang Yaobin was approved by the school
The astronomical telescope will be built at the first time
Transported to the village elementary school
That night, the night sky was bright
This is a starry sky that belongs to the mountains
More than 200 children with surprises and excitement
Under the guidance of Wang Yaobin
Through the "cannon barrel" telescope
Saw the beautiful starry sky
"I asked the kids what they saw
They said it was a good big moon
I asked again what was on it
They said, 'There are a lot of round pits.'
Turns out the moon is long like this'
At that moment, the children cheered
It resounded throughout the playground..."
In later days, Wang Yaobin took the children with him
Use this telescope
Venus and Mercury were also observed
He said he would continue to improve the "cannon barrel"
I hope that the future can be seen by children
Beautiful saturn rings
"It's not just about fulfilling my childhood aspirations
It also fulfilled the 'starry sky dream' of the children in the village
Let the children in the mountains also see the universe
Embrace the larger world
It makes a lot of sense."
