W. B. Anderson, G. Nicholson, S. Fleming and A. Scarvell Sydney Sky Theatre Development Association, PO Box 441, Woden ACT 2606, Australia E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. The city of Sydney, Australia, has been without a permanent fixed planetarium since the closure of a successful 40 seat planetarium in 1982. A comparison of cities (population of greater than 2.5 million) in developed countries (gross domestic product per person of greater than US$10,000) shows only 2 cities (4%), including Sydney, are without a planetarium. A worldwide comparison of all cities shows that 74% have at least one planetarium and in developing countries alone 63% of cities have a planetarium. A simple method is outlined to estimate the average number of planetarium seats a city of any population in a developed country can support. This method indicates that a city with a population of 4.35 million (such as Sydney) could be expected to support a combined total of 320 planetarium seats. INTRODUCTION and observatory complex for Macquarie University ([4] located 20 km to the north- Planetaria are a recognised medium for west of the Sydney CBD) and an teaching astronomical concepts to people underground planetarium complex for of all ages and all educational Sydney Observatory [5]. Building on this backgrounds, with public astronomy strong support the Sydney Sky Theatre education being as important as curriculum concept has been developed and is based programs [1]. Within Australia there described in this paper. Currently are seven permanent planetaria (see Figure operating within the Sydney Metropolitan 1), including three facilities built in the last area there are at least two portable Starlab ten years (Canberra, Melbourne and planetaria and a small Starlab FiberArc Wollongong) and two that have undergone planetarium projector at Sydney major refurbishment in the last 5 years Observatory seating up to 15 people on (Brisbane and Perth). Sydney, the largest bean bags. Australian city (population of 4.35 million), does not presently have any facility able to provide all the services a fixed planetarium could offer. The Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences (MAAS) in Harris Street, Ultimo, operated a planetarium from 1950 to 1982. This planetarium was highly successful attracting a total audience of 55,898 in 1967 [2] yet seated only 40. Since the

  • Observational Astrophysics Lab Manual Lab 1
    1 P139 - Observational Astrophysics Lab Manual Lab 1: Deriving the Mass of Jupiter or Saturn Professor T. Smecker-Hane Version 4.0 Sept 25, 2007 1 Introduction The mass of a planet can be determined by measuring the orbital period, τ, the time it takes to complete one orbit, and the orbital radius, A, a constant assuming the orbit is circular, of one of its moons. Doing this independently for a number of moons rather than just one allows you to decrease the error in your derived mass. For Jupiter, there are four easily observable moons. Listed in order from smallest to largest A are: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. These are commonly referred to as the Galilean moons, because Galileo discovered them in 1610. For Saturn, there are five easily observable moons. Listed in order from smallest to largest A are: Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea and Titan. 2 Theoretical Framework for the Experiment Use your knowledge of Newton’s laws and classical mechanics to determine the center of mass of the system composed of a planet of mass M and a moon of mass m. Recall that the two bodies both rotate around the center of mass with the period equal to τ. Assume that the moon’s orbit is circular, and the distance between the two in the orbital plane is r and r = A, where A is a constant for a circular orbit. Now determine τ as a function of A, m and M. Next take the limit of m << M, as is the case for all the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and determine M as a function of A and τ.

(August 2011) Mandakh Enkh, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Daniele Mortari The development of the Flower Constellation theory offers an expanded framework to utilize constellations of satellites for tangible interests. To realize the full potential of this theory, the beta version of Bouquet was developed as a practical computer application that visualizes and edits Flower Constellations in a user-friendly manner. Programmed using C++ and OpenGL within the Qt software development environment for use on Windows systems, this initial version of Bouquet is capable of visualizing numerous user defined satellites in both 3D and 2D, and plot trajectories corresponding to arbitrary coordinate frames. The ultimate goal of Bouquet is to provide a viable open source alternative to commercial satellite orbit analysis programs.
