Interview with amateur astronomer from Czech Republic
After launch of Falcon Heavy in February many astronomers around a globe tried to catch Tesla Roadster on its route in space. One of them was also Martin Masek from Czech Republic. I bet you haven´t heard about him, but his animation has raised the media attention in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Just a few days earlier I made an interview with him. And now I finished the English version of it:
A rare celestial event raised his interest in the starry sky, though he did not even observe it. As a passionate stargazer he did not hesitate to travel hundreds of miles to observe it under the dark sky. He discovered the beauty of variable stars in Eastern Slovakia and began to observe them from the balcony of his apartment. He thanks his job to a bright comet, and nowadays he gets valuable data for physicists from the comfort of his home. Operator of robotic telescope, Martin Mašek.
