Come with me. A generation ago, the astronomer Carl Sagan stood here and launched hundreds of millions of us on a great adventure: the exploration of the universe revealed by science. It's time to get going again. We're about to begin a journey that will take us from the infinitesimal to the infinite, from the dawn of time to the distant future. We'll explore galaxies and suns and worlds, surf the gravity waves of space-time, encounter beings that live in fire and ice, explore the planets of stars that never die, discover atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms. Cosmos is also a story about us. It's the saga of how wandering bands of hunters and gatherers found their way to the stars, one adventure with many heroes.

Photo: Mike Killian NASA launches third generation communications satellite Photo: Mike Killian NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite L (TDRS-L), the 12th spacecraft in the agency’s TDRS Project, is safely in or- bit after launching January 23 aboard a United Launch Alli- ance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Ground controllers report the satellite – part of a network providing high-data-rate communications to the Internation- al Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope, launch vehicles and a host of other spacecraft – is in good health at the start of a three-month checkout by its manufacturer, Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems of El Segundo, Calif. “TDRS-L and the entire TDRS fleet provide a vital service to America’s space program by supporting missions that range from Earth-observation to deep space discoveries,” said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. The mission of the TDRS Project, established in 1973, is to support NASA’s space communications network. This net- work provides high data-rate communications. The TDRS fleet began operating during the space shuttle era with the launch of TDRS-1 in 1983. Of the 11 TDRS space- craft placed in service to date, eight still are operational. TDRS-M, the next spacecraft in this series, is on track to be ready for launch in late 2015.

  • Carl Sagan’S Remarkable Ability to Make Scientific Ideas Both Comprehensible and Exciting, Based on His Acclaimed Television Series
    Spacecraft missions to nearby Planets The Library of ancient Alexandria The human brain Egyptian Hieroglyphics The origin of life The death of the Sun The evolution of galaxies The origins of matter, suns and worlds COSMOS The story of fifteen billion years of cosmic evolution transforming matter and life into consciousness, of how science and civilization grew up together, and of the forces and individuals who helped shape modern science. A story told with Carl Sagan’s remarkable ability to make scientific ideas both comprehensible and exciting, based on his acclaimed television series. For Ann Druyan In the vastness of space and the immensity of time, it is my joy to share a planet and an epoch with Annie Carl Sagan was the Director of the Laboratory for Planetary studies and David Duncan Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences at Cornell University. He played a leading role in the Mariner, Viking and Voyager expeditions to the planets, for which he received the NASA medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement and for Distinguished Public Service, and the international astronautics prize, the Prix Galabert.

  • Fizika Zvijezda Što Su Zvijezde? Kuglasta, Plinovita Tijela Vrlo Visoke Temperature
    Fizika zvijezda Što su zvijezde? Kuglasta, plinovita tijela vrlo visoke temperature...... ALI…. Pronađene su i zvijezde koje su zbog brze vrtnje spljoštene, ili su pak oblika konusa jer se nalaze u gravitacijskom polju druge, bliske zvijezde. Neke zvijezde nisu plinovite, a neke su bez vlastitog izvora energije pa ne svijetle…… IPAK! Svi ti objekti imaju neka zajednička svojstva: • Sve su zvijezde nastale skupljanjem iz međuzvjezdanog materijala • Pri čemu su prikupile dovoljno mase i zagrijale se u središtu do temperature termonuklearnih reakcija Barem u jednoj fazi razvitka zvijezde imaju termonuklearni izvor – pretvaraju jednostavnije elemente u složenije – svijetle i sastoje se od ioniziranog plina. NUKLEOSINTEZA PLINOVITI OBLAK PROTO ZVIJEZDA ZVIJEZDA GLAVNOG NIZA CRVENI DIV/SUPERDIV ZVIJEZDA HORIZONTALNE GRANE (mala masa) VARIJABILNA ZVIJEZDA CRVENI DIV SUPERDIV Mala masa Velika masa PLANETARNA SUPERNOVA MAGLICA CRNA JAMA ILI BIJELI PATULJAK NEUTRONSKA ZVIJEZDA Jeansova masa ili kritična masa (Jeansova nestabilnost) Jeansova nestabilnost uzrokuje kolaps međuzvjezdanog plina i prašine i formiranje zvijezde. Događa se kada unutarnji tlak nije dovoljno jak da bi spriječio gravitacijski kolaps okolne materije. Za stabilnost materija mora biti u hidrostatskoj ravnoteži (što za sferičan oblak izgleda): Menc je okružena, promatrana masa p tlak ρ (r) je gustoća plina na radijusu r Ravnoteža je stabilna ako male pertubacije uzrokuju male prigušene oscilacije. Ravnoteža je nestabilna ako male pertubacije uzrokuju pojačane oscilacije. Također, ako je oblak jako velik (masivan) ili ako je jako hladan – nestabilnost! – jer tlak nije dovoljno jak da se suprotstavlja gravitaciji. Jeansova masa ili kritična masa (Jeansova nestabilnost) James Jeans je izveo izraz za računanje kritične mase kao funkcije gustoće i temperature.

  • Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin's Struggle to Break Social and Scientific Barriers Bibliography and Process Paper
    Mishra & Shrivastava 1 Reaching for the Stars: Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin's Struggle to Break Social and Scientific Barriers Bibliography and Process Paper Mihir Mishra and Amy Shrivastava Senior Division Group Website Mishra & Shrivastava 2 Many different connections and interests propelled our topic choice. We had previously seen an episode of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, “Sisters of the Sun,” about Cecilia Payne- Gaposchkin and her discoveries. We chose this topic because of our shared interest in historical oppression and because it fit well into theme of Breaking Barriers in History. By combining elements from our previous projects about gender discrimination and slavery, it allowed us to also use background knowledge during research. Even today, women struggle with gender inequality in the workforce, such as the wage gap and male bias in job applications, giving us reason to emphasize how Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin broke gender barriers in astronomy while simultaneously breaking scientific barriers. We began our research by finding information on Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin’s discoveries and experiences with gender discrimination. From there, we began to dig deeper into the Harvard Observatory and the Library of Congress websites to find primary source documents, such as transcripts and pictures of her written works. We also found interviews online that gave us information directly from her about her real-life experiences. However, we obtained most of our information from Payne-Gaposchkin’s autobiography: Cecilia Payne- Gaposchkin: An Autobiography and Other Recollections, which included vivid descriptions of Payne-Gaposchkin’s experiences as a woman in science, both as a child and while she made her discoveries.

  • Extra Credit Opportunities
    FRONTIERS IN ASTRONOMY — AST 25 Extra Credit Opportunities About Extra Credit—the Rules Extra credit is a great way to give your class grade a boost. It is also an opportunity for you to explore subject matter in ways that are impossible in the classroom. Take advantage of this chance! Each extra credit has an assigned point value that you will receive if you complete the project to my complete satisfaction. Less-excellent projects will be awarded fewer points. All extra credit assignments must be complete—you cannot hand in an incomplete extra credit and hope for partial points. Rule #1: All extra credit projects must be handed in to me in class, by the deadline indicated on the General Schedule of Activities. Rule #2: You can earn up to 15 extra credit points (equivalent to 5%, or half a grade point). Rule #3: Point limitations may apply to each type of project. See comments for each extra credit category. Rule #4: I grade all answers on factual correctness, but also on grammar, logic, and presentation. Extra Credit #1: Homework overcharge—varies per/semester Each of the homework assignments is worth a certain number of points. However, some may include extra, optional questions for points. There is no penalty for the wrong answer on such questions. Extra Credit #2: Literature report—5 points each Read an online news article (less than 3 months old) with significant content related to the concepts described in this class. The article should be at least 500 words long. Answer the following questions clearly. Each answer should be 30-50 words, although I am not a stickler on this point.
