The minutes were read and approved, as was the Treasurers report. Committee reports followed. Bill Ruth, our Guidescope editor reported that all is well with the newsletter. Under Website, Lee Lumpkin reported that the website and the Forum are operating well and are being used. The Instrumentation report was next, with John Reising informing the Board that he has purchased new 125mm Losmandy rings to better hold the finder scope on the black C-14 as the old rings were too small to hold it properly. We will sell the 100mm rings on Astromart if no one in the club wants to buy them. The Orange C-14 has an issue with the declination lock slipping due to wear. Greg Cox will remove the cam and fabricate a new one as soon as he can get out to the observatory. The blue refractor that we used to use with our Coronado solar filter has some issue in the air-spaced lens at the front of the tube. John Reising will dismantle it and see if there is condensation there or perhaps mold. If it can be effectively cleaned, we may try to sell the scope. The Metro Parks liaison report was postponed until New Business. Programing is set until April. October will be Kelly Ricks who will report on her summer spent as a Dark Ranger, running astronomy outreach at Brice Canyon National Park. November is on hold pending the availability of a speaker. December is our annual Christmas party at the Beaver Creek Reservation in Amherst. January will be a DVD on an astronomy topic of interest supplied by Greg Zmina. In February, Dave Lengyel will do a program on how to use the Sky and Telescope Annual Sky Calendar, with copies of the calendar being provided to all who attend. In March, John Reising will speak on doing a Messier Marathon. There were only a few items of Old Business. First was getting the loaner dobsonian from Kelly Ricks to Roy Klein. Kelly will bring the dob to the next Public Observing session or, if those get cancelled, to the next General Meeting to transfer to Roy. Secondly, Greg Cox is going to order a new batch of hats for the club to sell. These will be baseball caps that are white with “Black River Astronomical Society” written in blue script on the front. He will order approximately 30 hats, once he determines the price and delivery time. We hope to have these for the November General Meeting for a cost of about $15.00 each. The third item of Old Business concerns dates for outreach programs at Wellington Reservation. Kelly Ricks will be contacting them to set these. The first item of New Business was the happy task of voting in new members. The club wishes to welcome Cody and Brendan Keenan of Columbia Station and Michael Fury of Amherst to our ranks. We are delighted that you have joined us. It was noted that we have had six new members join in the last two months. The second New Business item was a brief discussion about purchasing a digital projector for club use, mostly by our Outreach Committee members. President Schauer passed out handouts on four different projectors at different price points, and a discussion was held about what features we need. The Outreach people will consider what features we need most and the topic will be discussed again at the next meeting. We will also explore what kinds of materials we will be getting from the Night Sky Network as a result of our participation, to see if those impact our choice of projector. The next topic of discussion took the most time. We may switch our participation away from International Sun Day in favor of a festival approach to the solstice. We are considering an event where we would still observe the Sun, but we would include live music and art. The planned date is June 21, 2015 at one of the Metro Parks facilities. There have been some political issues with participating in Sun Day which is why we are considering the switch. More information will be forthcoming as we explore facility availability, and do further planning. The last topic was the selection of a date for next year's OTAA Convention. We looked at a New Moon period as early in September as possible and decided on September 12th. John Reising will contact the Birmingham Methodist Church to see if the hall is available for that date. A date as early in September as possible is desirable, because they usually have the parking lot fenced off later in the month in preparation for a large craft show held there. Event dates were set, and the meeting was adjourned. ~Steve Schauer *** The Blood Moon Prophecy: Myth vs. Fact Right now, we are in the midst of a 'tetrad' of 'blood moons.' In astronomical terms, we are in the middle of a series of four consecutive total lunar eclipses. For many in the astronomical community, this presents a great opportunity to catch one of the greatest sky shows out there. For prophets of doom, though, this a harbinger of the End Times. Starting in 2008, pastor Mark Biltz began teaching that the Second Coming was near. How does he know that? According to Biltz, he has discovered astronomical patterns (which he has yet to reveal) that led him to believe that the next tetrad of eclipses would coincide with the end times. Using technology such as his website and YouTube to spread his message, Biltz quickly built a cult-like following with modern-day doomsday believers. Cue our next prophet of doom. Writing in his 2013 book Four Blood Moons: Something is About to Change, John Hagee notes that the last three tetrads corresponding to the Jewish feasts of Passover and Sukkot (as this current one does) correspond to pivotal events in the history of the Jewish people: the expulsion of the Jews from Spain (1492-3), the founding of modern Israel (1949-50), and the Six Day War (1967-68). As a result, thanks to the rarity of tetrads and their past correspondences with important events in the history of the Jews, Hagee predicts that something big is just over the course of the horizon that could mark a dramatic shift in the fortunes of the Jewish people, and, thanks to the global society we now live in, the world as a whole. Now for facts. Myth: Tetrads are rare Fact: There have been 62 of them in the past 2,000 years. Myth: All previous Tetrads falling on Passover/Sukkot coincided with major events in the history of the Jews Fact: Tetrads that took place in the following years 162-3, 795-6, 842-3, and 860-1 corresponded to no major events in Jewish history. In fact, the 1949-50 tetrad is a bit of a stretch as modern Israel was founded in 1948. Myth: Isn't it odd that lunar eclipses fall on Jewish holidays? Fact: No, the Jewish calendar is based on the lunar month Myth: the Moon can impact events here on Earth Fact: Tides aside, no it can't For fundamentalist Christians, the Bible is literal truth, case closed. However, there's no denying that the holy book can be very vague at times. Let's take a look at the verses Joel 2:30-31, which state that “(30) And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. (31) The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.” This is the passage that Biltz uses as the basis for his Doomsday prediction. Myth: lunar eclipses and solar eclipses only rarely follow each other Fact: Thanks to celestial geometry, a lunar eclipse will always be followed by a solar eclipse 2 weeks later (that's roughly 4,000 such cycles in the last 2,000 years, nothing rare here) In the end, what do we have? Well, how about two prophets of doom with theories filled with more holes than a block of Swiss cheese. Case closed. ~Denny Bodzash Total lunar eclipse, October 8, 2014 Images by Denny Bodzash Mapping What You Cannot See, Cannot Know, Cannot Visit by Robert Krulwich Link to article: http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2014/09/05/346125416/mapping-what-you-cannot-see-cannot-know- cannot-visit When I was a boy I had a globe. I could take it in my hands, rest it on my lap, give it a spin and look down on Africa, Europe, North America and Asia spinning by. In 1961 (I was 13), cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin left the planet and got high enough to look down on the real Earth spinning beneath him. He was the first (followed by Alan Shepard and later John Glenn), to gaze with his own eyes on what we had over the centuries so carefully mapped, drawn and imagined. From 160 miles up, you can take in the whole boot of Italy, the Red Sea narrowing to Suez, North America tapering down to the isthmus at Panama, and the amazing thing — amazing to me, anyway — is that what we'd spent 2,000 years drawing in our heads was actually there.

  • Astronomy 142 — Project Manual Spring 2021
    Astronomy 142 | Project Manual Spring 2021 1 RR Lyrae stars and the distance to globular cluster M3 1.1 Introduction In the following, we repeat a classic experiment: detect the periodically-varying stars in a globular cluster and thereby measure its distance, by considering the stars to be standard candles. Specifi- cally, we will measure the time-average luminosity of the nearby star RR Lyrae and the time-average flux of stars in M3 that vary with the same period as RR Lyr, combining these measurements to determine M3's distance. This observing project will involve frequent remote observation sessions with the tele- scope over the course of 1{2 weeks, hopefully including a few nights in a row. Everyone who opts for this project will share their data and receive everyone else's in return. Each student will perform his or her own analysis and write an independent report on the results. Stars in the instability strip of the HR diagram have been fundamental in the determination of the distance scale of the Universe. These stars radially pulsate, often in their fundamental acoustic mode. As we have seen in class, their pulsation periods Π vary inversely with the mass density ρ of the star: Z R dr r 6π Π = 4 =∼ (uniform density star) (1) 0 vs γGρ Lower average density leads not only to longer periods, but also to larger luminosities L, in part because lower-density stars are much larger than higher-density stars of the same mass. Thus, a given type of pulsating star exhibits a strict relation, often linear, between Π and L.

  • Amateur Astronomy in the Winter Sky
    Amateur Astronomy in the Winter Sky Dale Hachtel Popular Astronomy Club Jan 4, 2020 The Andromeda Galaxy – Anthony Watt Orion Nebula – Anthony Watt January can be a difficult month for amateur astronomers, with cloudy and snowy skies and cold nights. Most of the planets we enjoyed viewing in the evening during much of 2019 are viewable only briefly in the early morning now, but there are still many interesting objects in the winter sky. Winter is therefore a good time to learn about what’s up in the sky besides the familiar constellations, planets, and well-known stars. The Astronomical League (AL) is a non-profit organization that promotes the science of astronomy. The organization does this by fostering astronomical education and providing incentives for astronomical observation and research. It is composed of 240 local amateur astronomical societies. The North Central Region of the Astronomical League (NCRAL) includes the Quad-Cities area, Illinois, and states north and northwest of the Quad-Cities and contains 36 of the amateur organizations. At the NCRAL convention in May 2019, hosted by the Popular Astronomy Club (PAC) in Moline, an interesting and educational amateur program was introduced for the NCRAL area. This NCRAL Seasonal Messier Observing Program provides a framework for amateur astronomers to learn about and observe some of the more interesting objects in the sky. First, a little background about Messier. Charles Messier was a French astronomer who studied comets. Between 1774 and 1781, he compiled a catalog of objects in the sky that could be mistaken for comets. His catalog, with a few 20th century additions, still provides a list of 110 interesting objects for amateur astronomers to find and observe.

  • Fall Messier List Observing Club
    Fall Messier List Observing Club Raleigh Astronomy Club Version 1.1 24 November 2012 Introduction Welcome to the Fall Messier List Observing Club. The objects on this list represent many of the most prominent deep sky objects (Globular Clusters, Open Clusters, Nebula, Galaxies) visible from mid-northern latitudes. The Messier list of objects was compiled in the 1700’s by the French comet hunter Charles Messier and his associates as a list of objects to not confuse with their primary goal of discovering new comets. What they really produced, was a list of many of the best deep sky objects for astronomers to enjoy. Observing the Messier List is an excellent way for beginning astronomers to learn the night sky. This club is intended for those who wish to tour the Messier objects while adding more structure to their observing activities. Club members who wish to work their way through the Messier objects, a season at a time, will find this list to be a helpful guide. Two certificate levels are offered, Silver and Gold. The Silver certificate is earned by viewing and logging all objects on the list while using Go-To or Digital Setting Circles to help locate the Messier objects. The Gold certificate is earned by those who view and log all the objects while only using charts and star hopping to locate them. Anyone who intends to use their RAC list results as a stepping-stone to the Astronomlcal League Messier certificate, MUST work to the Gold certificate rules. Rules To earn the Fall Messier List certificate, you must: 1.

  • Telescoep House March 20 S
    Image created with SkySafari 5 for Mac OS X, ©2010-2016 Simulation Curriculum Corp., skysafariastronomy.com. We find ourselves at the annual crossroads that is March, with two significant events occurring that have wider ranging consequences for astronomical observations. First of all, the Vernal Equinox, which occurs this year on the 20th March. This is technically the halfway point between Winter and Summer and the time where the Sun crosses the celestial equator into the sky’s northern hemisphere. After this point, very gradually, those in the northern hemisphere start to experience greater hours of daylight than night - though the geometry of our planet and it’s orbital tilt, means that these effects aren’t felt all over the world in exactly the same way. More equatorial parts of the planet never experience as extreme differences in the shift hours of darkness or light at certain times of the year. However, for those of us at more extreme latitudes, the move of the Sun to the celestial northern hemisphere this has obvious repercussions: most significantly for those seeking true darkness to observe or image deep sky targets - the lack of which peaks at midsummer. The second event that has secondary repercussions for observations, is the annual changeover from standard time to daylight saving time, which occurs in Europe on 29th March this year, as a result of the equinox. The old “Spring Forward/Fall Back” adage give you a clue which direction the shift is taking place. This change is most often justified on the grounds of maximising working daylight hours, subsequent productivity and (arguably) to save energy.
