The nights are starting earlier and earlier as the weather becomes more and more comfortable and all of our old favorites of the fall and winter skies really start finding their places right where they belong. October was a busy month for us, with several big functions at the Observatory, including two oppositions and two more all night celebrations. By comparison, November is looking fairly calm, the big focus there is going to be our third annual Natural Sky Conference on the 13th, which I’m encouraging people who care about the state of light pollution in our city and the surrounding area to get involved in.

  • Constellations
    Your Guide to the CONSTELLATIONS INSTRUCTOR'S HANDBOOK Lowell L. Koontz 2002 ii Preface We Earthlings are far more aware of the surroundings at our feet than we are in the heavens above. The study of observational astronomy and locating someone who has expertise in this field has become a rare find. The ancient civilizations had a keen interest in their skies and used the heavens as a navigational tool and as a form of entertainment associating mythology and stories about the constellations. Constellations were derived from mankind's attempt to bring order to the chaos of stars above them. They also realized the celestial objects of the night sky were beyond the control of mankind and associated the heavens with religion. Observational astronomy and familiarity with the night sky today is limited for the following reasons: • Many people live in cities and metropolitan areas have become so well illuminated that light pollution has become a real problem in observing the night sky. • Typical city lighting prevents one from seeing stars that are of fourth, fifth, sixth magnitude thus only a couple hundred stars will be seen. • Under dark skies this number may be as high as 2,500 stars and many of these dim stars helped form the patterns of the constellations. • Light pollution is accountable for reducing the appeal of the night sky and loss of interest by many young people as the night sky is seldom seen in its full splendor. • People spend less time outside than in the past, particularly at night. • Our culture has developed such a profusion of electronic devices that we find less time to do other endeavors in the great outdoors.

  • Optical Interferometry in Astronomy 2
    REVIEW ARTICLE Optical Interferometry in Astronomy John D. Monnier † University of Michigan Astronomy Department, 941 Dennison Building, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor MI 48109 Abstract. Here I review the current state of the field of optical stellar interferometry, concentrating on ground-based work although a brief report of space interferometry missions is included. We pause both to reflect on decades of immense progress in the field as well as to prepare for a new generation of large interferometers just now being commissioned (most notably, the CHARA, Keck and VLT Interferometers). First, this review summarizes the basic principles behind stellar interferometry needed by the lay-physicist and general astronomer to understand the scientific potential as well as technical challenges of interferometry. Next, the basic design principles of practical interferometers are discussed, using the experience of past and existing facilities to illustrate important points. Here there is significant discussion of current trends in the field, including the new facilities under construction and advanced technologies being debuted. This decade has seen the influence of stellar interferometry extend beyond classical regimes of stellar diameters and binary orbits to new areas such as mapping the accretion disks around young stars, novel calibration of the Cepheid Period-Luminosity relation, and imaging of stellar surfaces. The third section is devoted to the major scientific results from interferometry, grouped into natural categories reflecting these current developments. Lastly, I consider the future of interferometry, highlighting the kinds of new science promised by the interferometers coming on-line in the next few years. I also discuss the longer-term future of optical interferometry, including the prospects for space interferometry and the possibilities of large-scale ground-based projects.

    HANDS-ON UNIVERSE™ HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE AND MATH IN THE CONTEXT OF ASTRONOMY INVESTIGATIONS Teacher Book by Lawrence Hall of Science University of California, Berkeley Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and TERC of Cambridge, Massachusetts Lawrence Hall of Science University of California, Berkeley HOU provides a visual and analytic way of exploring the universe. Use HOU images from professional telescopes, along with HOU image processing software, to pursue investigations of astronomical objects, phenomena, and concepts. Opportunities available to HOU stu- dents can lead to accessing professional-grade telescopes via the World-Wide Web for observations as part of research projects such as searching for supernovae and asteroids. • HOU has been developed and operated by staff at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Space Science Laboratories at the University of California at Berkeley, Californa, with generous support from the National Science Foundation (grant # ESI-9252915) and the US Department of Energy. The HOU curriculum was developed by TERC with contributions from the Berkeley staff and teachers. The educational center for HOU currently resides at Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley. • The Berkeley staff responsible for the development of the HOU system includes: Carl Pennypacker, Elizabeth Arsem, Kinshuk Govil, John Refling, Gerard Monsen, Jeff Friedman, Dick Treffers, Julia Lee, and Mimi Kwan (with past contributions from Silvia Gabi, Bruce Grossan, Michael Richmond, and Rori Abernathy). • The curriculum development team includes: Tim Barclay and Jodi Asbell-Clarke from TERC (with contributions from Hughes Pack, Northfield-Mount Hermon School; Phil Dauber, Alameda High School; Rich Lohman, Albany High School; Tim Spuck, Oil City High School; Vivian Hoette, Adler Planetarium; Alan Gould, Lawrence Hall of Science; Geri Monsen, and Carl Pennypacker).

  • Introducing the Variable Star Astronomy Constellations
    Chapter 5: Introducing the Variable Star Astronomy Constellations Introduction Early observers organized stars into easily recognizable patterns that resembled the objects, animals, and people important to their survival and religions. We now call these patterns constellations. From our perspective here on Earth, it appears that the stars in any given constellation are connected in some way, that they all occupy the same part of space, and are all the same distance from the Earth. However, in reality, most stars within constellations are up to several light- years away from each Petroglyph in 9 Mile Canyon, Utah depicting other. An example is the Big Dipper. Coyote Scattering the Stars in the Sky Alkaid, the star at the end of the handle, is 100 light-years away from Earth. The next handle star is actually two stars that appear very close together. The brighter star, Mizar, is 78 light-years away from Earth, and Alcor is 81 light- years away. Mizar and Alcor are 3 light-years apart in the sky, a distance of 27 trillion kilometers, and Alkaid and Mizar are 22 light-years apart, a distance of 198 trillion kilometers! An exception is the Pleiades, the “Seven Sisters” asterism. The Pleiades is an open cluster, a group of stars born together in the same stellar nursery and now slowly drifting apart. The constellation names and boundaries we recognize today were officially established in 1930 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The entire sky is now partitioned into 88 irregularly-shaped pieces, and one constellation is assigned to each piece. The history of constellations, of who named them, and when, is full of myth, rumor, and ambiguity.
