    Giant Molecular Clouds http://www.astro.ncu.edu.tw/irlab/projects/project.htm Æ Galactic Open Clusters Æ Galactic Structure Æ GMCs The Solar System and its Place in the Galaxy In Encyclopedia of the Solar System By Paul R. Weissman http://www.academicpress.com/refer/solar/Contents/chap1.htm Stars in the galactic disk have different characteristic velocities as a function of their stellar classification, and hence age. Low-mass, older stars, like the Sun, have relatively high random velocities and as a result c an move farther out of the galactic plane. Younger, more massive stars have lower mean velocities and thus smaller scale heights above and below the plane. Giant molecular clouds, the birthplace of stars, also have low mean velocities and thus are confined to regions relatively close to the galactic plane. The disk rotates clockwise as viewed from "galactic north," at a relatively constant velocity of 160-220 km/sec. This motion is distinctly non-Keplerian, the result of the very nonspherical mass distribution. The rotation velocity for a circular galactic orbit in the galactic plane defines the Local Standard of Rest (LSR). The LSR is then used as the reference frame for describing local stellar dynamics. The Sun and the solar system are located approxi-mately 8.5 kpc from the galactic center, and 10-20 pc above the central plane of the galactic disk. The circular orbit velocity at the Sun's distance from the galactic center is 220 km/sec, and the Sun and the solar system are moving at approximately 17 to 22 km/sec relative to the LSR.

    ADDENDUM mG miniGears Products of Padua: and an Ancient Geared Clock that Tracks Planets’ Movements Some things take time, but a magazine ad more than 600 years in the making? That’s unusual, but it’s one way of looking at the ads for mG miniGears that featured a complex, highly geared, planet- tracking clock called the Astrarium. The Addendum team had noticed the clock in miniGears’ ads in Gear Technology; the last one appeared in the Jan./Feb. ’04 issue, and the top of it is at right. But we only recently learned the story behind the clock, why the ads featured it, and how a man’s interest in the Astrarium led to the creation of two books and a CD about the ancient device. The story starts with Giovanni Dondi, who lived in 14th-century Italy, in Padua. Although a doctor, Dondi was interested in astronomy and clockmaking, so much so he designed and built the original Astrarium in the 1360s. More than a regular clock, the Astrarium uses a year wheel and a geared assembly to track the movements of the sun, moon and fi ve planets: Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. manufacturing company there. The thinner of the books is Dondi’s Dondi didn’t include the other three The coincidence of Dondi and de’ manuscript, reproduced page by page, planets because he didn’t know about Stefani both being Paduans might have cover to cover, in full-sized color them.

  • Beckett Rosenfeld Hercules O
    272 Feature Star Field STARS 273 HERCULES BY CHRIS BECKETT & RANDALL ROSENFELD Right there in its orbit wheels a Phantom form, like to a man that strives at a task. That sign no man knows how to read clearly, nor on what task he is bent, but men simply call him On His Knees [Engonasin]. Now that Phantom, that toils on his knees, seems to sit on bended knee, and from both his shoulders his hands are upraised and stretch, one this way, one that, a fathom’s length. Over the middle of the head of the crooked Dragon, he has the tip of his right foot; Aratus (fl. ca. 390–240 BC), Phaenomena, Mair trs. 1921, 384–387. The keystone star pattern of Hercules keeps the celestial sphere of summer suspended overhead for northern observers and just fits in a º9 binocular. The Romans associated the “Kneeling One” to the mythical strongman Hercules, now known as home to one of the first deep-sky objects observers learn to locate by heart, Messier 13. However, there is much more worth taking a gaze at as the constellation passes through zenith. Rasalgethi represents the “head of the kneeler” and means northern observers imagine Hercules upside down. William Herschel discovered the variability of Rasalgethi changes from an eye-catching 2.7 magnitude to a 4.0 over a six-year period, greatly altering the region of the sky. Small telescopes split it into two components, a brilliant red-orange pri- mary and rare blue-green secondary. For those more interested in star patterns than variables, DoDz 7’s sailboat-shaped pattern of stars is a low-power telescope field to the north.

  • How Ptolemy's Geocentric Astronomy Helped Build the Modern World
    How the Discredited Geocentric Cosmos Was a Critical Component of the Scientific Revolution by Rick Doble Copyright © 2015 Rick Doble From Doble's blog, DeconstructingTime, deconstructingtime.blogspot.com All pictures and photos are from commons.wikimedia.org How Ptolemy's Geocentric Astronomy Helped Build the Modern World If you took the standard required western history course in college as I did, you learned that about 400 years ago astronomers Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler along with Isaac Newton were key players in the scientific revolution that overturned the cumbersome system of geocentric astronomy. In this outdated system the Sun, moon and stars went around the stationary Earth. Instead these early scientists proved that the Earth and the planets went around the Sun. Known as the Copernican Revolution, it is considered the beginning of the scientific revolution, a new way of thinking which continues to this day and has created our modern world and our modern hi-tech marvels. Well, that story is sort of true, but in hindsight it greatly simplifies the complex path that the scientific revolution took, the path that ultimately led to today's scientific and technological wonders. Specifically it leaves out the fact that the geometry of a geocentric universe and its foremost astronomer, Ptolemy, who perfected the geocentric system, were key players in this new scientific outlook. In fact the discredited geocentric theory was, oddly, essential for building our new scientific/technological world. Doble, Rick How the Discredited Geocentric Cosmos Was a Critical Component of the Scientific Revolution Page 1 of 11 BACKGROUND OF THE GEOCENTRIC/PTOLEMAIC SYSTEM Over hundreds of years the early ancient Greeks put together a concept of the Solar System as a coherent system of concentric circles -- which was a major advance for Western thought.

  • Crucifying the Earth on the Galactic Cross 1
    Crucifying the Earth on the Galactic Cross 1 CRUCIFYING THE EARTH ON THE GALACTIC CROSS Sergey Smelyakov, Jan Wicherink The Cross of Hendaye presenting the Astronomical and Eight-pointed Crosses (See Supplements 1, 2) 1. INTRODUCTION While the world is anticipating the effects of the End of the Maya Long Count Calendar on December 21 2012, they have already started to develop right in front of our eyes. The Cross, in all its forms, presents the most ancient symbol, and a series of meanings stands behind each of them (See Supplement 1). Some of these meanings are not widely known until our days; some other ones are still veiling the ancient esoteric concepts. The meaning of the majority of these corresponds to astronomical facts and evolution of the Earth and mankind that was kept secret for millennia . But from the 19th century a significant part of these symbols was explained – partly due to the disclosing of the Ancient Knowledge in works of Helen Blavatsky, – partly due to the progress of the sciences. For this reason we may suggest that this disclosure, by itself, presents great importance defining the last two centuries as the age of great revelations; if so, we may expect that they are given purposefully, in order to prepare us for something important. And we actually see this from a series of independent studies that the current decades can be characterised as the outstanding ones over the millennia; a series of seldom Space phenomena and the End of the Mayan calendar are evidently between them. In 1996, the concept of the Solar System Zodiac (SZ) was developed as a natural affiliate to the Tropical Zodiac (TZ).

    OBSERVATION OF LYMAN-~t EMISSION IN INTERPLANETARY SPACE J. L. Bertaux and J. E. Blamont The extraterrestrial Lyman-a emission was mapped by the OGO 5 satellite, when it was ABSTRACT outside the geocorona. Three maps, obtained at different periods of the year, are presented and analyzed. The results suggest that at least half of the emission takes place in the solar system, and give strong support to the theory that in its motion towards the apex, the sun crosses neutral atomic hydrogen of interstellar origin, giving rise to an apparent interstellar wind.
