Astronomy Observation Journal by Target Astronomy Observation Journal by Target Piero Dalle Pezze May 21, 2017 Abstract This document contains my observation reports by target. This file was generated using Java soft- ware tool AstroJournal (http://pdp10.github.io/AstroJournal/) and pdflatex (http://www.tug.org/texlive/). AstroJournal imports files containing astronomy observation reports. Once imported, it generates a comprehensive LATEX document which is then exported to PDF using the utility pdflatex.

Mare Orientale is another of the Moon’s large impact basins, Beginning observing On its eastern edge, dark volcanic material erupted explosively and possibly the youngest. Lunar scientists think it formed 170 along a rille. Although this region at first appears featureless, million years after Mare Imbrium.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89954-3 - Stars and Their Spectra: An Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B. Kaler Index More information Star index Stars are arranged by the Latin genitive of their constellation of residence, with other star names interspersed alphabetically. Within a constellation, Bayer Greek letters are given first, followed by Roman letters, Flamsteed numbers, variable stars arranged in traditional order (see Section 1.11), and then other names that take on genitive form. Stellar spectra are indicated by an asterisk. The best-known proper names have priority over their Greek-letter names. Spectra of the Sun and of nebulae are included as well.

  • Apollo 15 Mission
    THE APOLLO 15 MISSION On July 30, 1971, the Apollo 15 lunar module Falcon, descending over the 4,000 meter Apennine Mountain front, landed at one of the most geologically diverse sites selected in the Apollo program, the Hadley-Apennine region. Astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin brought the spacecraft onto a mare plain just inside the most prominent mountain ring structure of the Imbrium basin, the Montes Apennines chain which marks its southeastern topographic rim, and close to the sinuous Hadley Rille (Fig. 1). The main objectives of the mission were to investigate and sample materials of the Apennine Front itself (expected to be Imbrium ejecta and pre-Imbrium materials), of Hadley Rille, and of the mare lavas of Palus Putredinis (Fig. 2). A package of seven surface experiments, including heat flow and passive seismic, was also set up and 1152 surface photographs were taken. A television camera, data acquisition (sequence) camera, and orbital photography and chemical data provided more information. The Apollo 15 mission was the first devoted almost entirely to science, and the first to use a Rover vehicle which considerably extended the length of the traverses, from a total of 3.5 km on Apollo 14 to 25.3 km during three separate traverses on Apollo 15 (Fig. 3). The collected sample mass was almost doubled, from 43 kg on Apollo 14 to 78 kg on Apollo 15. A reduction in the planned traverse length was made necessary, in part by unexpected and time-consuming difficulties in the collection of the deep core sample (at the experiments package area).

Volunteers are welcome. There was a good turnout at the April BRAS meeting with Dr. Giaime, Observatory Head of LIGO Livingston, as our guest speaker. His talk was very informative about the history of the search for gravity waves, Einstein’s theory on gravity waves, and what gravity waves are. The May BRAS meeting’s guest speaker will be Chris Johnson, of the LSU Astronomy Department, giving a presentation titled “Variability of Optical Counterparts to Selected X-ray Sources in the Galactic Bulge”. This is part of his Ph.D. research and has something to do with variable stars and what we can learn from space and ground based telescopes.
