The editors feel no need to describe the nature of the col]oquium or its scientific sig- :- nlficance since these are eloquently described by Professor Lyman . Spitzer in his opening remarks. _! ..: The formal scientific programme of the colloquium lasted 3½ days _. .,_ and consisted of 7 sessions of three hours. The 14 invited lectures : delivered surveys of broad fields of importance for observations with .' the Space Telescope, each presentation lasting about 45 minutes. The _ remaining 45 minutes of each half-session was coordinated by a dis- cussion leader who, besides keeping contributors to the discussion in ' ._ order, generally commented on the subject area. We have included all the questions and discussion in this volume since the fields covered -. _' in the surveys were very broad and the discussions complemented the main ,_ presentations. We have concentrated upon scientific matters concerned , :.. _ with the astronomical and astrophysical use of the Space Telescope. =: Many of the contributors to the discussion kindly provided us with written versions of their comments. In other cases, the comments were t transcribed, abridged and edited by the editors from the tapes of the _ discussion. Any mispresentation of the significance of these comments •_ is the fault of the editors who herewith offer their apologies in _ advance. We have not included discussions of purely technical questions _ concerning the operation of the telescope and its scientific instruments _, nor of the way in which the Space Telescope project will be organised "_-' in the operational phase. Discussion of many of these topics insofar __ as they are understood in mid-1979 can be found in the article by "_ Bahcall and O'Dell, "The Space Telescope Observatory," which is included in th_ present volume° The contents of this article were not _. described in the formal sessions but were the subject of a lively discussion on the evening of Wednesday, August 8, 1979. % We are also fortunate in being able to include the address entitled "NASA In-House Astronomers Capabilities - Verse and j Converse" giver, by Dr. Hinners, former NASA Associate Administrator •_ for Space Science, at the banquet on the evening of Friday, August I0, d_ % 1979. • vi , 1980013643-006 . • t +, - + • ;:, ' • , ,+,+' • - _ • . .,, , .

  • Arthur C. Clarke Fred Körper, SFGH-Treffen 21.02.2009
    SF-Klassiker: Arthur C. Clarke Fred Körper, SFGH-Treffen 21.02.2009 Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (* 16. Dezember 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, England; † 19. März 2008 in Colombo, Sri Lanka) war ein britischer Science-Fiction-Schriftsteller. Durch den Film 2001: Odyssee im Weltraum von Stanley Kubrick, der auf einer Kurzgeschichte Clarkes beruht und dessen Drehbuch Clarke gemeinsam mit Kubrick schrieb, wurde er auch außerhalb der Science-Fiction-Szene bekannt. Clarke gilt als Visionär neuer Technologien, die er außer in Science-Fiction-Romanen und Kurzgeschichten auch in wissenschaftlichen Artikeln beschrieb. 1 Leben 2 Werk 2.1 Romane 2.2 Erzählungen 2.3 Kurzgeschichtensammlungen 2.4 Gemeinschaftswerke 2.5 Autobiografisches 3 Verfilmungen (Auswahl) 4 Clarke'sche Gesetze Leben Arthur Charles Clarke wurde am 16.Dezember 1917 in der Grafschaft Somerset im Südwesten Englands geboren. Von 1927 bis 1936 besuchte er die Huish's Grammar School in Taunton/Somerset und las bereits als Jugendlicher die Werke von H. G. Wells und Olaf Stapledon. Da Clarke aus finanziellen Gründen ein Studium zunächst verwehr blieb, ging er 1936 nach London und arbeitete dort zunächst im Staatsdienst. 1941 trat er als Radaroffizier in die Royal Air Force ein. Diese Erfahrungen liegen dem Roman Glide Path zugrunde. Seine Idee, geostationäre Satelliten zur technischen Kommunikation zu nutzen, die er 1945 unter dem Titel Extra-terrestrial Relays – Can Rocket Stations Give World- wide Radio Coverage? in der wissenschaftlichen Zeitschrift Wireless World veröffentlichte, erlebte 1964 mit dem Saetelliten Syncom 3 ihre Verwirklichung. Ihm zu Ehren wird daher der geostationäre Orbit auch „Clarke Belt“ beziehungsweise „Clarke Orbit“ genannt. Von 1946 bis 1948 studierte er Mathematik und Physik am Londoner King's College.

  • N93-13593 Lunar Optical Telescopes: an Historical Perspective
    N93-13593 LUNAR OPTICAL TELESCOPES: AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Stewart W. Johnson BDM International, Inc. 1801 Randolph Road, S.E. Albuquerque, NM 87106 Abstract There is a long history of thought and discussion on the possibilities of astronomical observatories on the Moon. Numerous ideas have been suggested and a variety of concepts have resulted for lunar optical telescopes. This paper reviews some of the ideas and efforts of individuals and working groups including Hershel, Clarke, Malina, Herbig, and Hess; working groups of the 1960s; and recent initiatives of Burke, Burns, and others. The enhanced technologies of the 1980s and 1990s can make past dreams of lunar observatories come to reality in the 21st century. That an astronomical observatory on the Moon offers the potential advantages of emplacement on a stable platform in an environment unencumbered by atmospheric obscurations has long been recognized. The National Academy of Sciences report, Astronomy and Astroohvsics for the 1980s, listed seven promising programs for the 1990s and beyond. All of these programs involved space-based observations and one of the programs was entitled Astronomical Observations on the Moon. The report states: The Moon offers certain decisive advantages as a base for astronomical observations. In particular the far side of the Moon provides protection from the radio interference from sources on or near Earth and therefore has great potential for radio astronomy. Shielded at all times from earthlight, sites on the far side of the Moon are also shielded from sunlight for substantial portions of each month and thus offer advantages for optical and infrared observations requiring the darkest possible sky.

  • The Overlord's Burden:The Source of Sorrow in Childhood's End Matthew Candelaria
    The Overlord's Burden:The Source of Sorrow in Childhood's End Matthew Candelaria In the novels of Arthur C. Clarke's most productive period, from Earthlight (1951) to Imperial Earth (1976), children appear as symbols of hope for the future. The image of the Star-Child at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey (his collaboration with Stanley Kubrick) is imprinted on the cultural eye of humanity as we cross into the twenty-first century, and this image is emblematic of Clarke's use of children in this period. However, Clarke's most important contribution to the science-fiction genre is Childhoods End (1953), and it concludes with a very different image of children, children whose faces are "emptier than the faces of the dead," faces that contain no more feeling than that of "a snake or an insect" (Œ204). Indeed, this inverted image of children corresponds to the different mood of Childhoods End: in contrast to Clarke's other, op• timistic novels, a subtle pessimism pervades this science fiction classic. What is the source of this uncharacteristic sorrow? What shook the faith of this ardent proponent of space exploration, causing him to de• clare, "the stars are not for Man" (CE 136), even when he was chairman of the British Interplanetary Society? In assessing his reputation in the introduction to their seminal collection of essays on Clarke, Olander and Greenberg call him "a propagandist for space exploration [...] a brilliant "hard science fiction" extrapolator [...] a great mystic and modern myth-maker [...] a market-oriented, commercially motivated, and 'slick' fiction writer" (7).

Using B and V band CCD images of both the dark and bright sides of the Moon, we aim to estimate the Johnson photometry B − V colour of the Earthshine for the first time since the late 1960s. From these measurements we are also able to quantify the colour of Earthlight. Methods. We present images of the Moon taken with a small refractor in Hawaii, in B and V bands and taken under favourable conditions so that scattered light in both bands almost completely cancels, yielding a map of the surface in B − V colour. Co-addition of 100 such images taken in rapid succession substantially improves the signal-to- noise ratio, and several sources of photometric bias are eliminated by use of relative methods.
