Middle of this week to website Vecernji list, but in some other media, appeared the pompous titles of how Ivica Kostelic after successful ski season, awarded by the sponsor VIPnet and no less than having several plots on the moon and the star of your own! ?
To tell the truth to say that this is a true nebulosities and legal fraud because nobody could be an owner of land on the moon and the stars alone (Suns) in the universe. Even the name or names of objects, the appearance and location of celestial objects in the universe can be labeled only in the manner prescribed by laws and regulations implemented by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and on their site / document is not no talk about such matters in he is guilty or not included, and Kostelic. It turns out that a great smile of our athletes is actually a result of illegal work and buying junk (framed, of course!) "Certificate" that several private companies substantially completely illegal and worthless as a pixilated naivnicima securities sold around the world.
We have already mentioned that no one can own celestial bodies or areas on them. It is impossible to buy, sell or anything similar. Some terminology that is used in astronomy and amateur scientists serve as a kind of roadmap (atlas, map ..) to navigate and it is clear that Bernard stars as viewed from another planetary system, by another civilization surely be marked in some other way but in both cases to work on physical phenomena and processes that are waiting for scientists to capture insights into their secrets ..
The question remains are the sponsors knew this fact or uletjeli recklessly. What they got as the product of "zaglupljujućeg" act is definitely a great media attention in a completely worthless "event". In spite of everything, the "certification" proudly stands VIPnet's logo? In this way, and the telecommunications company other than degradation Kostelićevog results and undermine the reputation and its "image" as a serious company.
Large media stunt, and excellent results were thus framed stain of being an elementary ignorance and deception. Is it really deserved Ivica worthless paper on this site (www.lunarregistry.com / stars / index.shtml) paid full 49.95USD!
A real and veritable truth is, in Croatia there are several companies, Observatory, the individuals whose work has been leading the world in the fields of astronomy to be addressed. Their many years of persistent pleading of various companies, ministries, municipalities and cities to co-operation that might be even better and more successful face to the wall of silence or at best a letter in which the results of those same astronomers formally commend them and wants to further successful work, but there no real value for money. Perhaps Kostelic (or somebody else, is irrelevant), accompanied by their sponsors, the media could attend such practical work / workshop astronomers, take the problem basics detection of variable stars, actively participate in arduous work, and finally he under full moral right to research and be recorded as one from Darwin, so far unknown changeable stars! It would be a real event, educational, moral, legal and research value of the benefit of all. Self-proclaimed "State of Knowledge" and its citizens again in the media zaglupljujućoj episode of human folly has once again thrown into a very, very low. Would say - but not the knee to bottom.
