Atomic clock at an observatory C016 / 7637
Atomic clock. A scientist checking an atomic clock at a radio telescope observatory. There are two clocks shown here, the one on the left (marked zvyezdnoye vryemya ) gives sidereal time, the one on the right (marked solnyechnoye vryemya ) gives solar time. Atomic clocks are used in astronomy for very precise synchronisation of observations made from different sites. Photographed at the Mount Aragats Observatory in Armenia in 1987

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in scientific history at the Mount Aragats Observatory in Armenia, 1987. In this image, a dedicated scientist is seen meticulously checking an atomic clock at a radio telescope observatory. The significance of this scene lies in the two clocks showcased here - on the left, we have the "zvyezdnoye vryemya" clock indicating sidereal time, while on the right, the "solnyechnoye vryemya" clock displays solar time. These atomic clocks hold immense importance in astronomy as they enable precise synchronization of observations conducted from various locations. As our eyes delve into this monochrome masterpiece, we witness not only a man controlling time but also witness how science transcends borders and language barriers. The presence of these clocks symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit to understand celestial phenomena with utmost accuracy. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements and cutting-edge research methods prevalent today, it was during the 20th century when scientists like him laid down foundations for modern astrophysics. Through this photograph by RIA NOVOSTI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are transported back to an era where every second counted towards unraveling mysteries of our vast universe. Let us cherish this snapshot capturing both scientific progress and human curiosity intertwined within one frame.
