(230528) -- NGARI, May 28, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on May 24, 2023 shows the Ngari Observatory at night in Ngari Prefecture, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. You Xianlong, a 36-year-old resident engineer at the Ngari Observatory in Tibet Autonomous Region, is responsible for equipment observation and operation maintenance along with seven colleagues. He is also the longest-serving engineer at the observatory. You's career began in 2006 when he met Yao Yongqiang, a scientist at the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), who was looking for workers to conduct long-term measurements in challenging plateau environments. Since then, You has been working at the Ngari Observatory for 17 years. Selecting an observatory site is a complex process that involves examining terrain, geology, and support conditions. It also requires years of measurement and evaluation of factors such as the number of clear nights, astronomical seeing conditions, precipitabl
