Colleagues, Public Star Party follows at the I hope you found the third week of July exhilarating. The 50th Anniversary of the first Centennial Observatory moon landing was the common theme. I capped my observance by watching the C- SPAN replay of the CBS broadcast. It was not only exciting to watch the landing, but Club Officers to listen to Walter Cronkite and Wally Schirra discuss what Neil Armstrong and Buzz Robert Mayer, President Aldrin was relaying back to us. It was fascinating to hear what we have either accepted or rejected for years come across as something brand new. Hearing [email protected] Michael Collins break in from his orbit above in the command module also reminded me of the major role he played and yet others in the past have often overlooked – Gary Leavitt, Vice President fortunately, he is now receiving the respect he deserves. If you didn’t catch that, [email protected] then hopefully you caught some other commemoration, such as Turner Classic Movies showing For All Mankind, a spellbinding documentary of what it was like for Dr. Jay Hartwell, Secretary all of the Apollo astronauts who made it to the moon. Jim Tubbs, Treasurer / ALCOR For me, these moments of commemoration made reading the moon landing’s [email protected] anniversary issue from the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers (ALPO) 208-404-2999 come to life as they wrote about the features these astronauts were examining – including the little craters named after the three astronauts.

  • Planetary Nebulae

    Planetary Nebulae

    Planetary Nebulae A planetary nebula is a kind of emission nebula consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionized gas ejected from old red giant stars late in their lives. The term "planetary nebula" is a misnomer that originated in the 1780s with astronomer William Herschel because when viewed through his telescope, these objects appeared to him to resemble the rounded shapes of planets. Herschel's name for these objects was popularly adopted and has not been changed. They are a relatively short-lived phenomenon, lasting a few tens of thousands of years, compared to a typical stellar lifetime of several billion years. The mechanism for formation of most planetary nebulae is thought to be the following: at the end of the star's life, during the red giant phase, the outer layers of the star are expelled by strong stellar winds. Eventually, after most of the red giant's atmosphere is dissipated, the exposed hot, luminous core emits ultraviolet radiation to ionize the ejected outer layers of the star. Absorbed ultraviolet light energizes the shell of nebulous gas around the central star, appearing as a bright colored planetary nebula at several discrete visible wavelengths. Planetary nebulae may play a crucial role in the chemical evolution of the Milky Way, returning material to the interstellar medium from stars where elements, the products of nucleosynthesis (such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and neon), have been created. Planetary nebulae are also observed in more distant galaxies, yielding useful information about their chemical abundances. In recent years, Hubble Space Telescope images have revealed many planetary nebulae to have extremely complex and varied morphologies.

  • A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    A Basic Requirement for Studying the Heavens Is Determining Where In

    Abasic requirement for studying the heavens is determining where in the sky things are. To specify sky positions, astronomers have developed several coordinate systems. Each uses a coordinate grid projected on to the celestial sphere, in analogy to the geographic coordinate system used on the surface of the Earth. The coordinate systems differ only in their choice of the fundamental plane, which divides the sky into two equal hemispheres along a great circle (the fundamental plane of the geographic system is the Earth's equator) . Each coordinate system is named for its choice of fundamental plane. The equatorial coordinate system is probably the most widely used celestial coordinate system. It is also the one most closely related to the geographic coordinate system, because they use the same fun­ damental plane and the same poles. The projection of the Earth's equator onto the celestial sphere is called the celestial equator. Similarly, projecting the geographic poles on to the celest ial sphere defines the north and south celestial poles. However, there is an important difference between the equatorial and geographic coordinate systems: the geographic system is fixed to the Earth; it rotates as the Earth does . The equatorial system is fixed to the stars, so it appears to rotate across the sky with the stars, but of course it's really the Earth rotating under the fixed sky. The latitudinal (latitude-like) angle of the equatorial system is called declination (Dec for short) . It measures the angle of an object above or below the celestial equator. The longitud inal angle is called the right ascension (RA for short).

You may have noticed that this newsletter is showing up a little bit later than usual, and it’s for good reason: release of the newsletter will now happen after the monthly business meeting so that we can have a chance to keep everybody up to date on the latest information. Sometimes, this will mean the newsletter shows up a couple of days late. But, the upshot is that you’ll now be able to see what we discussed at the recent business meeting and have time to digest it before our general meeting in case you want to give some feedback. Now that we’re on the new format, business meetings (and the oft neglected Light Pollution Committee Meeting), are going to start being open to all members of the club again by simply joining up in the respective chat rooms the Wednesday before the first Monday of the month—which I encourage people to do, especially if you have some ideas you want to see the club put into action.

President's Message Astroshort: 'Smoking Gun' … Secretary's Summary Message From HRPO Recent Forum Entries Globe At Night Observing Notes from John Nagle President's Message We are still about $100 off from our target to draw a winner for our Lunt 35mm solar telescope. If we keep selling tickets like we have been we might be able to draw for the winner at the October BRAS meeting. Remember, $5 per ticket or 5 for $20. In the meantime we will continue to draw for other prizes. This will allow you to pick from an assortment of prizes and still have your ticket in the drawing for the solar scope. As you probably heard our former Outreach Coordinator (OC) Trevor McGuire moved to North Dakota. That leaves the position open. The OC’s role is to be the focal point of communication for outreach activities and requests for BRAS volunteers from outside groups. That usually takes the form of some organization, a scout or school group for example, requesting someone from BRAS to do a presentation or to bring scopes to allow their members or guests to view he skies. It doesn’t mean you have to do the event yourself or even organize the event. It just means you act as a liaison between BRAS and the community. Trevor set up a BRAS Outreach email address to receive requests. He also created a contact group so that once you have the details, you could send an email request for manpower to the group.
