This well-known phenomenon accounts for many different observations: a stick halfway in water appears to be bent, the fish is not exactly where you see it, the mirages in the desert form far from the real objects, etc. Mirages are explained by light rays propagating through layers of warm air of different refractive index, and bending towards regions of colder (i.e. denser) air. This refractive light deflection may significantly affect our view of distant earth objects. For example, we could see two (or more) images (one direct and one inverted lower image) of the lights of a distant car travelling on a sun heated road (Figure 0.1). Furthermore, the images are often deformed, or the car may seem to be closer as its lights appear brighter. Indeed, the so-called atmospheric lensing causes the multiplication of images, image deformation, or light amplification of distant unresolved objects. Any of these ‘‘optical illusions’’ are simply due to the fact that light is deflected if the medim is inhomogeneous. As we are aware that the stick in the water is not truly bent, and as, when we aim at a fish, we slightly compensate for the offset, we all know that the image of the sky on the desert sand must not be mistaken for a pound of water. Mankind even took advantage of refractive light bending, and among others, built optical lens telescopes to observe the sky. In 1915, Albert Einstein linked the fate of space-time with the presence of matter. Indeed, in General Relativity (GR), space-time can be compared with a mattress which is flat when no object lies on it. The presence of massive bodies on that mattress deforms (or we should say forms) it; the heavier the body, the more pronounced the dip. Consequently, a small marble originally travelling freely on a straight line on its surface, will now be following a curved trajectory. The closer the marble rolls from the massive body, the more deflected it will be from its originally straight path. So do the photons (particles of light) as they follow curves, called geodesics, of our space-time shaped by the presence of gravitational masses (Figure 0.2). The effect of space-time on light trajectories in General Relativity is exactly the same as for an inhomogeneous medium in classical optics. The only difference is that General Relativity is simpler in a sense because there is no dispersion since the effective deflection index does not depend on the light frequency. In analogy with refractive light deflection, what is called gravitational light deflection leads us to see a light source, like a star, slightly offset from its true position (just like the fish in water).

During the 14 lab sessions, we will encounter objects located in our own solar system, stars filling the Milky Way, and objects located much further away in the far reaches of space. Astronomy is an observational science, as opposed to most of the rest of physics, which is experimental in nature. Astronomers cannot create a star in the lab and study it, walk around it, change it, or explode it. Astronomers can only observe the sky as it is, and from their observations deduce models of the universe and its contents. They cannot ever repeat the same experiment twice with exactly the same parameters and conditions. Remember this as the universe is laid out before you in Astronomy 113 – the story always begins with only points of light in the sky. From this perspective, our understanding of the universe is truly one of the greatest intellectual challenges and achievements of mankind. The exploration of the universe is also a lot of fun, an experience that is largely missed sitting in a lecture hall or doing homework.

The sand became fine, silt-like. Sharp edges of shells pressed into her feet. Cool water climbed her calves with each step, tickling the soft skin on the back of her knees. On the far side of the estuary marram-grassed sand dunes met blue sky. The dunes ran along the entire the horizon. From the grassy headland at Gunnanundi Point north to the mouth of Broken River. Beyond the dunes waves crashed. Their seamless roar drowned out the cawing oystercatchers. They had menaced Rose all the way from the shoreline, but were forced to remain at the edge of the shallows. From there they continued to vigilantly pace, shouting shrill warnings. Keep clear of our nests. She wished she could reassure the birds, explain that she was just like them. A mother. Watchful. Overprotective. She looked over her shoulder to a flash of colour peeking out from the base of the old Morton Bay Fig tree that straddled the shoreline. There, wrapped in a florid patchwork quilt, baby Lucinda slept. The wizened buttress roots of the elephantine tree provided a natural cradle for the child. Rose imagined herself prowling protectively in front of the tree, screaming at a perceived threat.

(503) 988-3043 • Fax (503) 988 -3389 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE WORK SESSION ON OCTOBER 7, 2013 PROPOSED DARK SKIES REGULATIONS CASE FILE : PC-2013-3056 PART I. INTRODUCTION This topic was first introduced on the Planning Commission work program in 2004. This staff report introduces the concept of creating a rural outdoor lighting ordinance for the purpose of conserving the night skies. Outdoor lighting ordinances a re commonly referred to as ‘dark sky’ ordinances in the communities where they have been adopted in reference to a primary goal of such ordinances – to protect dark skies at night. Dark skies are one of the many qualities that set rural areas apart from u rban and suburban communities. Existing County land-use codes only require lighting standards in certain scenarios. The documentation in this report is based on the information contained in the included attachments. PART II. CREATION OF AN OUTDOOR LIGH TING ORDINANCE - WHY DO IT? Preservation of the Night Skies Growth and light pollution from excessive outdo or lighting is diminishing the view of the stars in and around urban areas, as well as within smaller towns and rural areas. While excessive light may cause a nuisance to others, it also wastes money and electricity, results in unnecessary emissions of greenhouse gases , and can have negative e ffects on humans and wildlife (see Attachment E). The “Dark Skies” concept promotes the precautionary appro ach to outdoor lighting design.

  • FROM DARKNESS to LIGHT WRITERS in MUSEUMS 1798-1898 Edited by Rosella Mamoli Zorzi and Katherine Manthorne
    Mamoli Zorzi and Manthorne (eds.) FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT WRITERS IN MUSEUMS 1798-1898 Edited by Rosella Mamoli Zorzi and Katherine Manthorne From Darkness to Light explores from a variety of angles the subject of museum ligh� ng in exhibi� on spaces in America, Japan, and Western Europe throughout the nineteenth and twen� eth centuries. Wri� en by an array of interna� onal experts, these collected essays gather perspec� ves from a diverse range of cultural sensibili� es. From sensi� ve discussions of Tintore� o’s unique approach to the play of light and darkness as exhibited in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, to the development of museum ligh� ng as part of Japanese ar� s� c self-fashioning, via the story of an epic American pain� ng on tour, museum illumina� on in the work of Henry James, and ligh� ng altera� ons at Chatsworth, this book is a treasure trove of illumina� ng contribu� ons. FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT The collec� on is at once a refreshing insight for the enthusias� c museum-goer, who is brought to an awareness of the exhibit in its immediate environment, and a wide-ranging scholarly compendium for the professional who seeks to WRITERS IN MUSEUMS 1798-1898 proceed in their academic or curatorial work with a more enlightened sense of the lighted space. As with all Open Book publica� ons, this en� re book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website.
