  • The Astronomical Garden of Venus and Mars-NG915: the Pivotal Role Of
    The astronomical garden of Venus and Mars - NG915 : the pivotal role of Astronomy in dating and deciphering Botticelli’s masterpiece Mariateresa Crosta Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF- OATo), Via Osservatorio 20, Pino Torinese -10025, TO, Italy e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This essay demonstrates the key role of Astronomy in the Botticelli Venus and Mars-NG915 painting, to date only very partially understood. Worthwhile coin- cidences among the principles of the Ficinian philosophy, the historical characters involved and the compositional elements of the painting, show how the astronomi- cal knowledge of that time strongly influenced this masterpiece. First, Astronomy provides its precise dating since the artist used the astronomical ephemerides of his time, albeit preserving a mythological meaning, and a clue for Botticelli’s signature. Second, it allows the correlation among Botticelli’s creative intention, the historical facts and the astronomical phenomena such as the heliacal rising of the planet Venus in conjunction with the Aquarius constellation dating back to the earliest represen- tations of Venus in Mesopotamian culture. This work not only bears a significant value for the history of science and art, but, in the current era of three-dimensional mapping of billion stars about to be delivered by Gaia, states the role of astro- nomical heritage in Western culture. Finally, following the same method, a precise astronomical dating for the famous Primavera painting is suggested. Keywords: History of Astronomy, Science and Philosophy, Renaissance Art, Educa- tion. Introduction Since its acquisition by London’s National Gallery on June 1874, the painting Venus and Mars by Botticelli, cataloged as NG915, has remained a mystery to be interpreted [1]1.

Due to the 1000 Year Flood in Louisiana beginning August 14, some of our club’s activities were curtailed, thus our newsletter is shorter than usual. President’s Message Secretary's Summary for August (no meeting) Light Pollution Committee Report Outreach Report Photo Gallery 20/20 Vision Campaign Messages from the HRPO Triple Conjunction with Moon Observing Notes: Capricornus – The Sea Goat, by John Nagle & Mythology Newsletter of the Baton Rouge Astronomical Society September 2016 BRAS President’s Message This has been a month of many changes for all of us. Some have lost almost everything in the flood, Some have lost a little, and some have lost nothing... Our hearts go out to all who have lost, and thanks to all who have reached out to help others. Due to the flooding, last month’s meeting, at LIGO, was cancelled. The September meeting will be on the 12th at the Observatory, which did not receive any water during the flood, thus BRAS suffered no loss of property. As part of our Outreach effort. If anyone you know has any telescope and/or equipment that was in water during the flood, let us know and we will try to help clean, adjust, etc. the equipment. On September 2nd (I am a little late with this message), Dr. Alan Stern, the New Horizons Primary Investigator, gave two talks at LSU. The morning talk was for Astronomy graduate students, and was a little technical.

  • Introduction to Core Knowledge Earth Science
    Core Knowledge Earth Science Syllabus Introduction Earth Science is an important and useful science for elementary-school students to study for several reasons. First, earth science is an extremely exciting and interesting field of study because its materials and processes are all around us every minute of every day of the year. No matter where students live, they are directly affected by the weather in obvious ways. Although it may be less obvious, they are also directly affected by geological history and processes and oceanographic phenomena. The nature of the landscape all around them has been determined by the geological past and is undergoing constant change. Erosion by water and wind, changes in sea level, eruption of volcanoes, and the spectacular effects produced by earthquakes appear in news reports every day. Second, students are fascinated by earth science topics like dinosaurs, meteorite impacts, black holes, comets, hurricanes, tornadoes, and volcanoes, and this fascination can be used as a way of getting and keeping them interested. And third, human society is facing many crucial environmental problems, such as global warming, water pollution, and ozone-layer depletion, whose solution lies in understanding of Earth processes, and the more people who understand the problems, the more likely we will be able to deal with them effectively. The coverage of earth-science topics in this syllabus was determined by the topics specified in the Core Knowledge Sequence Content Guidelines for Grade K - 8 (1999 ed.; copies available online at www.coreknowledge.org). The philosophy underlying the Core Knowledge approach is as follows. The Core Knowledge Sequence is a detailed outline of specific content to be taught in language arts, history, geography, mathematics, science, and the fine arts.

Among the morphologically heterogeneous sample, a small fraction of targets is enclosed by spherically symmetric detached envelopes. Based on observations in the 70 μm and 160 μm wavelength bands, we investigated the surroundings of the two carbon semiregular variables S Sct and RT Cap, which both show evidence for a history of highly variable mass-loss. S Sct exhibits a bright, spherically symmetric detached shell, 138 in diameter and co-spatial with an already known CO structure. Moreover, weak emission is detected at the outskirts, where the morphology seems indicative of a mild shaping by interaction of the wind with the interstellar medium, which is also supported by the stellar space motion.

    ASSOCIAZIONE ASTROFILI SEGUSINI 10059 SUSA (TO) Circolare interna n. 161 Gennaio 2013 ________________________________________________________________________________ IL CIELO DEL 2013 Scampato il “pericolo” della fine del mondo lo scorso 21 dicembre ci accingiamo a guardare al cielo del 2013 con curiosità, in attesa di eventi interessanti e spettacolari. L’anno che sta iniziando ci riserverà ben due comete di buona magnitudine; a queste dedichiamo un articolo nelle pagine successive. Vediamo invece gli altri fenomeni. Le eclissi di Sole avverranno il 10 maggio e il 3 novembre. La prima sarà anulare ed invisibile dall’Italia svolgendosi quasi completamente nell’oceano Pacifico. Il nostro Paese sarà invece interessato – anche se solo nelle regioni meridionali – dall’eclissi di novembre, con un massimo del diametro solare coperto pari al 5%. Sarà un’eclissi anulare e totale; le eclissi di questo tipo vengono definite ibride e sono piuttosto rare: la Luna si trova a una distanza tale per cui il diametro del suo disco è appena sufficiente, durante la fase massima, a coprire il disco dell’astro del giorno. Prima e dopo la totalità il nostro satellite naturale si allontana tanto da trasformare la totalità in anularità. La fascia di totalità/anularità si avrà nell’oceano Atlantico e attraverserà le regioni centrali dell’Africa. Sulla terraferma avremo una durata massima di circa 25 secondi. Eclisse solare ibrida del 3 novembre 2013 (da F. Espenak, NASA’s GSFC) http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OHfigures/OH2013-Fig05.pdf Volgendo ora lo sguardo al cielo notturno scopriamo che nemmeno con le eclissi di Luna saremo più fortunati: il 25 aprile il nostro satellite naturale attraverserà l’ombra del nostro pianeta ma ciò avverrà “di striscio” producendo un’eclissi parziale con soltanto un sessantesimo del diametro lunare oscurato dall’ombra terrestre.

Here we present a colour–magnitude diagram (CMD) for EXT8, obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. Compared with the CMDs of metal-poor Galactic GCs, we find that the upper red giant branch (RGB) of EXT8 is ∼ 0:03 mag bluer in MF606W − MF814W and slightly steeper, as expected from the low spectroscopic metallicity. The observed colour spread on the upper RGB is consistent with being caused entirely by the measurement uncertainties, and we place an upper limit of σF606W−F814W ≈ 0:015 mag on any intrinsic colour spread. The corresponding metallicity spread can be up to σ[Fe=H] ∼ 0:2 dex or > 0:7 dex, depending on the isochrone library adopted. The horizontal branch (HB) is located mostly on the blue side of the instability strip and has a tail extending to at least MF606W = +3, as in the Galactic GC M15.
