  • Clusters Nebulae & Galaxies
    CLUSTERS, NEBULAE & GALAXIES A NOVICE OBSERVER’S HANDBOOK By: Prof. P. N. Shankar PREFACE In the normal course of events, an amateur who builds or acquires a telescope will use it initially to observe the Moon and the planets. After the thrill of seeing the craters of the Moon, the Galilean moons of Jupiter and its bands, and the rings of Saturn he(*) is usually at a loss as to what to do next; Mars and Venus are usually disappointing as are the stars (they don’t look any bigger!). If the telescope had good resolution one could observe binaries, but alas, this is often not the case. Moreover, at this stage, the amateur is unlikely to be willing to do serious work on variable stars or on planetary observations. What can he do with his telescope that will rekindle his interest and prepare him for serious work? I believe that there is little better for him to do than hunt for the Messier objects; this book is meant as a guide in this exciting adventure. While this book is primarily a guide to the Messier objects, a few other easy clusters and nebulae have also been included. I have tried, while writing this handbook, to keep in mind the difficulties faced by a beginner. Even if one has good star maps, such as those in Norton’s Star Atlas, a beginner often has difficulty in locating some of the Messier objects because he does not know what he is expected to see! A cluster like M29 is a little difficult because it is a sparse cluster in a rich field; M97 is nominally brighter than M76, another planetary, but is more difficult to see; M33 is an approximately 6th magnitude galaxy but is far more difficult than many 9th magnitude galaxies.

    The Fixed Stars Report by Tara Cochrane for Hillary Rodham Clinton October 26, 1947 8:00 PM Chicago, Illinois Calculated for: Standard time, Time Zone 6 hours West Latitude: 41 N 51 Longitude: 87 W 39 Introduction Report and Text Copyright 2009 Cosmic Patterns Software, Inc. The contents of this report are protected by Copyright law. By purchasing this report you agree to comply with this Copyright. This report interprets conjunctions of nearly every fixed star that has been given an astrological name to the planets, Asc, MC, 7th house cusp, and 4th cusp. Each interpretation given in this report is based on extensive research on the historical astrological meanings and myths associated with the fixed stars. A list of notable people who have the same conjunction aspect as you do is also given. This comprehensive analysis of the influence of the fixed stars combined with a list of notable people who also have this aspect provides you with extensive information, and hopefully astrologers who use this report can use this information to develop an even more refined and clearer understanding of the meaning of every fixed stars. Interpretations of the Fixed Stars Sun conjunct Alkalurops, Orb: 0 deg 22 min Independent, stable, autonomous, willful, assertive and decisive attributes are indicated. The individual may feel called to provide wisdom, guidance, oversight or direction to others. A position of authority and respect may be attained. Political, executive, regulatory and custodial pursuits are favored. Alkalurops is Mu 1 Bootis in the constellation of Bootes, the Herdsman. The name Alkalurops is derived from the Greek word for a shepherd's crooked staff.

The late date for Astronomy Day this year made it impossible for several traditional exhibitors to attend (The National Atomic Museum, Apache Point Observatory, and Chaco Canyon) and clouds spoiled the afternoon solar observing. How- ever, the wonderful help provided by 38 TAAS vol- unteers made for an easy and low stress setup, op- eration, and tear down. To those 38 (and two Coronado Mall people) I send a great big thank you.

Assuming we could get in. Or -- do Harry and Draco already know about it? alt_hermione at 2013-02-01 15:13:05 (no subject) No, they don't know. At least, I haven't told them about it. I guess we could do. I don't think it should come from me. Maybe Pansy should tell Draco that she found a good place and explain it to them. alt_sally_anne at 2013-02-01 15:16:25 (no subject) Maybe it should be me. If Pansy tells Draco he might want to know why she never told him before. alt_sally_anne at 2013-02-01 15:18:57 (no subject) Do you mind them knowing, though? I mean we could probably arrange with Siz to meet in the Astronomy Tower. Although she looked utterly horrible on Wednesday night. I think she hates Umbridge even more than at least as much as we do. Anyway I'm a little hesitant to do anything that could get her in trouble if it's found out. The nice thing about the secret room is that we don't have to ask ANY of the trustworthy or nice adults for permission, we can just go there. alt_ron at 2013-02-01 19:14:31 (no subject) Would Professor Raz have to come along with Harry? I mean, that could either be good or it could get us all in loads worse trouble if Umbridge finds out.

    Draft version June 18, 2020 Typeset using LATEX twocolumn style in AASTeX61 BAFFLES: BAYESIAN AGES FOR FIELD LOWER-MASS STARS S Adam Stanford-Moore,1 Eric L. Nielsen,1, 2 Robert J. De Rosa,1, 3 Bruce Macintosh,1 and Ian Czekala4, ∗ 1Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA 2Department of Astronomy, New Mexico State University, P.O. Box 30001, MSC 4500, Las Cruces, NM 88003, USA 3European Southern Observatory, Alonso de C´ordova 3107, Vitacura, Santiago, Chile 4Department of Astronomy, 501 Campbell Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-3411, USA ABSTRACT Age is a fundamental parameter of stars, yet in many cases ages of individual stars are presented without robust estimates of the uncertainty. We have developed a Bayesian framework, BAFFLES, to produce the age posterior for a 0 star from its calcium emission strength (log(RHK )) or lithium abundance (Li EW) and B − V color. We empirically determine the likelihood functions for calcium and lithium as functions of age from literature measurements of stars in benchmark clusters with well-determined ages. We use a uniform prior on age which reflects a uniform star formation rate. The age posteriors we derive for several test cases are consistent with literature ages found from other methods. BAFFLES represents a robust method to determine the age posterior probability distribution for any field star with 0 0:45 ≤ B − V ≤ 0:9 and a measurement of RHK and/or 0:35 ≤ B − V ≤ 1:9 and measured Li EW. We compile colors, 0 RHK , and Li EW from over 2630 nearby field stars from the literature and present the derived BAFFLES age posterior for each star.

(To see how big the universe is, check Maps on Page 7). There are probably at least 100 billion galaxies known to man in the universe, and about 300 sextillion stars. The diameter of the known universe is at least 93 billion light years (1 light year = 9.46×1012 kilometers or 9.46×1015 meters) or 8.80×1026 meters. According to General Theory of Relativity, space expands faster than the speed of light. Due to this rapid expansion, it is not brief whether the size of the universe is finite or infinite. The expansion of the Universe is due to presence of dark energy, which is found to be 73% and dark matter (23%). There is only 4% matter found. However, even though the universe is huge and massive, it has a very small density of 9.9 ×10-30 gm per cubic centimeters (excluding stars, planets and any other celestial body).

  • The COLOUR of CREATION Observing and Astrophotography Targets “At a Glance” Guide
    The COLOUR of CREATION observing and astrophotography targets “at a glance” guide. (Naked eye, binoculars, small and “monster” scopes) Dear fellow amateur astronomer. Please note - this is a work in progress – compiled from several sources - and undoubtedly WILL contain inaccuracies. It would therefor be HIGHLY appreciated if readers would be so kind as to forward ANY corrections and/ or additions (as the document is still obviously incomplete) to: [email protected]. The document will be updated/ revised/ expanded* on a regular basis, replacing the existing document on the ASSA Pretoria website, as well as on the website: coloursofcreation.co.za . This is by no means intended to be a complete nor an exhaustive listing, but rather an “at a glance guide” (2nd column), that will hopefully assist in choosing or eliminating certain objects in a specific constellation for further research, to determine suitability for observation or astrophotography. There is NO copy right - download at will. Warm regards.

Kimen til det rækker tilbage til min bog Essays on Astrology i det essay, som har titlen ”Tidsalderen og Fiske- nes stjernebillede.” (1) Inspirationen til den arti- kel kom fra et afsnit i C.G. Jungs Aion, hvor han diskuterede den arketypiske betydning af forårs- jævndøgnets bevægelse gennem Fiskenes Tegn (2). Jeg blev meget interesseret i det, han fandt Derfor besluttede jeg, at det ville være umagen frem til i sin forskning, men jeg satte spørgsmåls- værd at undersøge alle fire arme på det kardinale tegn ved, hvor præcis den var.
