  • Astronomie Pentru Şcolari
    NICU GOGA CARTE DE ASTRONOMIE Editura REVERS CRAIOVA, 2010 Referent ştiinţific: Prof. univ.dr. Radu Constantinescu Editura Revers ISBN: 978-606-92381-6-5 2 În contextul actual al restructurării învăţământului obligatoriu, precum şi al unei manifeste lipse de interes din partea tinerei generaţii pentru studiul disciplinelor din aria curiculară Ştiinţe, se impune o intensificare a activităţilor de promovare a diferitelor discipline ştiinţifice. Dintre aceste discipline Astronomia ocupă un rol prioritar, având în vedere că ea intermediază tinerilor posibilitatea de a învăţa despre lumea în care trăiesc, de a afla tainele şi legile care guvernează Universul. În plus, anul 2009 a căpătat o co-notaţie specială prin declararea lui de către UNESCO drept „Anul Internaţional al Astronomiei”. În acest context, domnul profesor Nicu Goga ne propune acum o a doua carte cu tematică de Astronomie. După apariţia lucrării Geneza, evoluţia şi sfârşitul Universului, un volum care s+a bucurat de un real succes, apariţia lucrării „Carte de Astronomie” reprezintă un adevărat eveniment editorial, cu atât mai mult cu cât ea constitue în acelaşi timp un material monografic şi un material cu caracter didactic. Cartea este structurată în 13 capitole, trecând în revistă problematica generală a Astronomiei cu puţine elemente de Cosmologie. Cartea îşi propune şi reuşeşte pe deplin să ofere răspunsuri la câteva întrebări fundamentale şi tulburătoare legate de existenţa fiinţei umane şi a dimensiunii cosmice a acestei existenţe, incită la dialog şi la dorinţa de cunoaştere. Consider că, în ansamblul său, cartea poate contribui la îmbunătăţirea educaţiei ştiinţifice a tinerilor elevi şi este deosebit de utilă pentru toţi „actorii” implicaţi în procesul de predare-învăţare: elevi, părinţi, profesori.

  • The Planetary Nebula Club Objects by Month (As Posted by Ted Forte On
    The Planetary Nebula Club objects by month (As posted by Ted Forte on “backbayastro”) August Planetaries As most of you know, I am the coordinator of the Astronomical League’s Planetary Nebula Club. Several members of the BBAA helped me create the Planetary Nebula Club by serving on the object selection committee, serving on the rules committee, providing images, or by authoring parts of the observing manual. The Planetary Nebula Club creation was truly a BBAA effort. I think it’s a shame, therefore, that more BBAA’ers haven’t completed the program and earned the pin. So if you are looking for an observing program to complete, why not our very own? There was never a better time to start. More than half the list is visible right now and no less than 31 of our 110 PNe are optimally placed in August. Hence the title of this epistle. It is my intention to spark an interest in the program and suggest the objects that might be bagged in the coming weeks. Many of you have no doubt observed these objects already, so please chime in and share your impressions of them. As is true of the entire list, our August selection contains both well-known showpieces and some seldom mentioned objects that you might not consider tracking down if not for this program. There are no less than 17 of the 31 August objects that I would describe as “stellar”. I must confess that I am not the biggest fan of these tiny objects and had I been the sole arbiter of the list it would have contained far fewer of these.
