These were found by converting the distances in light years to parallaxes and looking up bright stars in the Hipparcos star catalogue which approximately matched (and are in the sky at the given time) As I . mentioned, please be aware that the Hipparcos distances are approximately - particularly the more distant an object is - as are the > matches to the distances specified. So when you quote distances, you . should always say "about" or "approximately". /~ , JUs-C. If you're interested, you can also see http://astro.estec.esa.nl/Hipparcos/ for information on the ESA 37 Hipparcos satellite mission. Anyway, here's the basic data. More explanation follows.

The brightest naked-eye stars are around 0, the faintest around 6. From Washington, D.C. on a good night, one can see down to about 4.5 (e.g. the first star on the list would be tough to see, the others should be visible if it' s clear) . other names - Common names are given here. The first star has only a catalogue name, "HD 60863", from the Harvard "Henry Draper" catalogue from early in this century. The others have Greek letter and constellation names (when used with the Greek letter, the latin genitive form ot the~"constellation name is given, as here) . As some auxiliary information, the "HD 60863" star_Jss_appax^efit"1 y paxt^of a double star system, and Epsilon Aurigae is aiCjSgortant variable star. It is a well-studied eclipsing binary, consisting of two stars that " occasionally pass in front of each other, diming the total light from the system. If you should need/care to look these up on a star chart, the positions for the 4 stars are copied below for 2000.0. January 1 of the year 2000 is the standard epoch for star positions, atlases, and catalogues, so it just happens they'll be exactly right on the night in question! right ascension | declination HD 60863 (in Puppis) 07 35 22.89 -28 22 09.6 Beta Camelopardalis 05 03 25.09 +60 26 32.1 Delta Canis Majoris 07 08 23.48 -26 23 35.5 ipsilon Aurigae 05 01 58.13 +43 49 23. The right ascensions between 5-8 hours indicates these objects will be on or near the meridian (due north or south) in late December near midnight. Anyway, I hope this info proves of value.

E Irowse I I F n a f v 0 N L N E Search Auriga, in astronomy, a constellation of the Northern Hemisphere. Auriga, Latin for "charioteer," lies west of Perseus far north of the celestial equator- the imaginary line formed by the projection of the Earth's equator onto the sky. Auriga is a significant constellation, both for its astronomical objects and for its ancient and complex mythology. The constellation contains Capella, the sixth brightest star in the sky and one of the seven stars (along with Castor, Pollux, Procyon, Sirius, Rigel, and Aldebaran) that make up the large, bright ring of stars known as the winter circle. In early January, Auriga reaches its highest point in the sky in the mid-northern latitudes at 10:00 PM. The pentagon-shaped constellation straddles the Milky Way almost directly overhead and lies northeast of Taurus, due north of Orion, and northwest of Gemini. From the mid-southern latitudes it appears very low on the northern horizon. Auriga is often depicted as the torso of a charioteer holding a bridle and whip in his right hand and cradling Capella, or the "she goat," on his left arm. Two kids, the offspring of Capella, rest on his wrist or forearm. This representation can be traced back to early Babylonian times, 4000BC to 3500 BC. In Greek and Roman mythology, Auriga is associated with several figures. The Romans called the constellation Erichthonius, their translation of the Greek equivalent. Erichthonius was a legendary king of Athens and son of Vulcan (Hephaestus), who invented the four-horse chariot and as a result became a favorite of Jupiter (Zeus). Other legends associate Auriga with Myrtilius, who served as charioteer to King Oenemaus. One of Myrtilius' duties was to race to the death any suitor of the king's daughter, Hippodamia. When Hippodamia fell in love with Pelops, one of the suitors, she begged Myrtilius to lose the race. He did so and the king died. Myrtilius, himself in love with Hippodamia, tried to flee with her, and Pelops killed him. Some sources associate Capella with the she-goat Amaltheia, who nursed Zeus as an infant and was placed in the sky in gratitude. However, the goat symbolism plays no part in the myths of the charioteers, leading some authorities to conclude that the animals are remnants of more ancient shepherding myths once associated with the constellation. The Greek poet Aratus mentions Auriga in his work 'Phaenomena', from the 3rd century BC. Ptolemy, the great astronomer who lived and worked in Egypt during the 2nd century AD, cataloged the constellation.

Meetings start at 7 p.m. and are open to the public. Please note that food and drink are not allowed in the planetarium President Don Bryden Well I gave a star party and no one showed up! Not that I can blame them – it was raining and windy and cold – it even hailed! Still I dragged out the scope and got it ready to go. Briefly, between the clouds I looked at Jupiter and it was quite a treat. The Galilean moons were all tight to the planet either coming from just in front or behind. It gave a bejeweled look like a large ruby surrounded by four small diamonds. Even with the winds and clouds the sky was surprisingly steady and I went as high as 260x with ease, exposing the shadow of Europa transiting the planet. But soon more clouds came and inside we had a nice fire so I put the Artist's rendering DVD “400 Years of the Telescope” on and settled in for the night. My daughter had a few friends over after a skating party that afternoon and later when I went out for one more look they came out to see what was up.

In one myth, Orion boasted he would kill all the wild animals on the earth. But, the earth goddess Gaia, who was the protector of all animals, produced a gigantic scorpion, whose body was so heavily encased that Orion was unable to pierce through the armour, and was himself stung to death. His companion Artemis was greatly saddened and arranged for Orion to be immortalised among the stars. Scorpius, the scorpion, was placed on the opposite side of the sky so that Orion would never be hurt by it again. To this day, Orion is never seen in the sky at the same time as Scorpius.

    Abstracts, JAAVSO Volume 37, 2009 193 Abstracts of Papers and Posters Presented at the 97th Annual Meeting of the AAVSO, Held in Nantucket, Massachusetts, October 16–19, 2008 The International Year of Astronomy and Citizen Science Aaron Price AAVSO, 49 Bay State Road, Cambridge, MA 02138 Abstract 2009 has been endorsed as the International Year of Astronomy by both the United Nations and the United States Congress. This talk will briefly outline the IYA cornerstone projects and then will go into more detail regarding the AAVSO’s role as leading a citizen science project regarding the variable star epsilon Aurigae. Variable Star Astronomy Education Outreach Initiative Donna L. Young The Wright Center for Innovative Science, Tufts University, 4 Colby Street, Medford, MA 02155 Abstract The American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) published a comprehensive variable star curriculum, Hands-On Astrophysics, Variable Stars in Science, Math, and Computer Education in 1997. The curriculum, funded by the National Science Foundation, was developed for a comprehensive audience—amateur astronomers, classroom educators, science fair projects, astronomy clubs, family learning, and anyone interested in learning about variable stars. Some of the activities from the Hands-On Astrophysics curriculum have been incorporated into the educational materials for the Chandra X-Ray Observatory’s Educational and Public Outreach (EPO) Office. On two occasions, in 2000 and 2001, triggered by alerts from amateur astronomers, Chandra observed the outburst of the dwarf nova SS Cygni. The cooperation of amateur variable star astronomers and Chandra X-Ray scientists provided proof that the collaboration of amateur and professional astronomers is a powerful tool to study cosmic phenomena.

Photo by David Asti A clothesline full of colorful t-shirts expressed horrific stories of violence committed against women. The shirts lined the dining area from Oct. 24 through Oct. 27 in the Mourant building. The collection, named the Alaskan Clothesline Project, travels the state displaying color coded shirts that describe the type of violence committed against its victim. One shirt displayed a message about a child asking her father why she was sexually assaulted by him. Norene Otnes of the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) blessed the hanging of the shirts with chanting and spiritual beating of drums. “I want to come and support by encouraging,” Otnes said. The purple, orange, green and red t-shirts signified women who were victims of rape, physical assault, child abuse, and anti-lesbian hate crime. Especially noteworthy were the white shirts which were created in memory of women who were murdered. http://www.uas.alaska.edu/whalesong/archives/2007/2_l2_2DD7/Clothesline_project.html Student wellness supervisor Cheryl Loudermilk helped facilitate the display of the project at UAS. “Having (the shirts) here for a few days gives people a chance to read and become aware of the issue,” Loudermilk said.

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In
    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

Práce obsahuje několik tradičních i neobvyklých metod pro studii otevřených hvězdokup. V práci je kladen důraz na komplexnost propojením dílčích výsledků. Pomocí převzatých astrometrických dat byl proveden morfologický a dynamický rozbor hvězdokupy. Z naměřených spektroskopických dat byly určeny některé obecné parametry pro celou hvězdokupu. Za použití vlastní absolutní CCD fotometrie a výsledků z astro- metrické a spektroskopické studie byly nalezeny zbylé parametry hvězdokupy. Nalezené parametry byly porovnány s hodnotami z předchozích studií. Abstract This diploma thesis deals with complex study of the open cluster NGC 2281.
