In 1609, an Italian Galileo Galilei converted the long glass into telescope, a device for scientific observations. That was the most important event in the history of astronomy. The invention of telescope allowed us to make many discoveries in Solar System, in the Universe, and the Galaxy. To commemorate the 400-year anniversary of this event, the International astronomical union made a decision to announce the International year of astronomy 2009.
Since December, 4, the Branch of State Public Scientific Technical Library shows an exhibition that presents about 120 books and articles from magazines that deal with the life and work of the great inventor, with the history and the state of art in astronomical engineering and with the achievements of modern-day astronomy as well.

The exhibition presents 64 publications (books, materials of conferences, reports, and articles from periodic and continuing publications). They give answers to the questions: whether global climate changes may occur in the near future and what effect they will have upon changes of the environment, flora and fauna, economic activity, and public health.
During the 20th century and at present time, primary factor of global changes is the progressing warming of climate that goes on for more than 100 years. One of the most common assumptions of the factor that is responsible for the advent of global warming is accumulation in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, etc. Meanwhile, the growing bulk of scientific data convinces many scientists more and more that currently there are no reasonably convincing proofs of the crucial impact of the human activity on the global warming of climate.
