Lyudmila Zhuravleva

Lyudmila Zhuravleva is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Lyudmila Zhuravleva rather than just read about it. In short: Lyudmila Vasilyevna Zhuravleva (Russian: Людмила Васильевна Журавлёва, Ukrainian: Людмила Василівна Журавльова, romanized: Liudmyla Vasylivna Zhuravlova; born 22 May 1946) is a Soviet, Russian, and Ukrainian astronomer, who worked at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyi, where she discovered 213 minor planets. She also serves as president of the Crimean branch of the "Prince Clarissimus Aleksandr Danilo…

Key takeaways

Lyudmila Zhuravleva belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Lyudmila Zhuravleva to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Lyudmila Zhuravleva from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Lyudmila Vasilyevna Zhuravleva (Russian: Людмила Васильевна Журавлёва, Ukrainian: Людмила Василівна Журавльова, romanized: Liudmyla Vasylivna Zhuravlova; born 22 May 1946) is a Soviet, Russian, and Ukrainian astronomer, who worked at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyi, where she discovered 213 minor planets. She also serves as president of the Crimean branch of the "Prince Clarissimus Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov Foundation" (which was founded in May 1995 in Berezovo, and is not the same as the "Menshikov Foundation" children's charity founded by Anthea Eno, the wife of Brian Eno). She has discovered a number of asteroids, including the Trojan asteroid 4086 Podalirius and asteroid 2374 Vladvysotskij. Zhuravleva is ranked 43rd in the Minor Planet Center's list of those who have discovered minor planets. She is credited with having discovered 200 and co-discovered an additional 13 between 1972 and 1992. In the rating of minor planet discoveries, she is listed in 57th place out of 1,429 astronomers. The main-belt asteroid 26087 Zhuravleva, discovered by her colleague Lyudmila Karachkina at Nauchnyi, was named in her honour.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lyudmila Zhuravleva

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lyudmila Zhuravleva claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lyudmila Zhuravleva before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lyudmila Zhuravleva ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lyudmila Zhuravleva

In research: Lyudmila Zhuravleva appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lyudmila Zhuravleva in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lyudmila Zhuravleva is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1946 births, Discoverers of asteroids, Discoveries by Lyudmila Zhuravleva, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lyudmila Zhuravleva outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
