Victor Hugo a écrit dans Les Châtiments : "Les horizons aux horizons succèdent […] : on avance toujours, on n’arrive jamais ". Face à la mer, vous voyez l'horizon à perte de vue. Mais "est-ce loin, l'horizon ?". D'après toi, jusqu'à quelle distance peux-tu voir si le temps est clair ? Réponse 1 : " Sans instrument, je peux voir jusqu'à .................. km " Réponse 2 : " Avec une paire de jumelles, je peux voir jusqu'à ............... km " 2. Nous allons maintenant calculer à l'aide du théorème de Pythagore la ligne d'horizon pour une hauteur H donnée.

  • Catching up with Barnard's Star. Dave Eagle Within the Constellation Of
    Catching Up with Barnard’s Star. Dave Eagle Within the constellation of Ophiuchus lies Barnard’s Star. It is a fairly faint red dwarf star of magnitude 9.53, six light years from Earth, so is fairly close to us. Its luminosity is 1/2,500th that of the Sun and 16% its mass. The diameter is estimated at about 140,000 miles, so it’s quite a small, faint star and well below naked eye visibility. So why is this star so well known? In 1916 Edward Barnard looked at a photographic plate of the area. When he compared this to a similar plate made in 1894, he noticed that one of the stars had moved between the time of the two plates being taken. Although all the stars in the sky in reality are all moving quite fast, from our remote vantage point on Earth most stars appear to appear virtually static during our lifetime as their apparent motion is extremely small. Barnard’s star, being so close and moving so fast, is one of the stars that bucks this trend. So fast indeed that it will subtend the apparent diameter equivalent to the Moon or Sun in about 176 years. So compared to other stars it is really shifting. The star is travelling at 103 miles per second and is approaching us at about 87 miles per second. In about 8,000 years it will become the closest star to us, at just under 4 light years and will have brightened to magnitude 8.6. Peter van de Camp caused great excitement in the 1960’s when he claimed to have discovered a planet (or more) around the star, due to wobbles superimposed on its movement.

On leaving the planetarium, turn around and look northwards over the roof of the building. To your right is a group of stars like the outline of a saucepan standing up on it’s handle. This is the Plough (also called the Big Dipper) and is part of the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. The top two stars are called the Pointers. Check with binoculars. Not all stars are white. The colour shows that Dubhe is cooler than Merak in the same way that red-hot is cooler than white-hot. 2. Use the Pointers to guide you to the left, to the next bright star. This is Polaris, the Pole (or North) Star. Note that it is not the brightest star in the sky, a common misconception. Below and to the right are two prominent but fainter stars. These are Kochab and Pherkad, the Guardians of the Pole. Look carefully and you will notice that Kochab is slightly orange when compared to Polaris.

The cluster is shown slightly right of center near the bottom of the chart, along with other nearby stars that we will use in this month's hunt: • Pollux • • • • • • Gamma M44 • Cancer. • • ~ • ;.

Procyon is the 8th brightest star in the sky, and quite close to us, at a distance of only 11~ light years. It was named Procyon, meaning "Before the Dog," because it rises just before Sirius, The Dog Star: that was important because Sirius heralded the annual flooding of the Nile River, which was crucial to the life of ancient Egypt. Just over 4° NW of Procyon is mag 2.9 blue dwarf Beta Canis Minoris, which forms a pretty lYz ° binocular group with a mag 4.3 orange giant and a mag 5.0 yellow giant.

  • The Future of Space Imaging
    The FutureofSpaceImaging The Future of Space Imaging Report of a Community-Based Study of an Advanced Camera for the Hubble Space Telescope hen Lyman Spitzer first proposed a great, W earth-orbiting telescope in , the nuclear energy source of stars had been known for just six years. Knowledge of galaxies beyond our own and the understanding that our universe is expanding were only about twenty years of age in the human consciousness. The planet Pluto was seventeen. Quasars, black holes, gravitational lenses, and detection of the Big Bang were still in the future—together with much of what constitutes our current understanding of the solar system and the cos- mos beyond it. In , forty-seven years after it was conceived in a for- gotten milieu of thought, the Hubble Space Telescope is a reality. Today, the science of the Hubble attests to the forward momentum of astronomical exploration from ancient times. The qualities of motion and drive for knowledge it exemplifies are not fixed in an epoch or a gen- eration: most of the astronomers using Hubble today were not born when the idea of it was first advanced, and many were in the early stages of their education when the glass for its mirror was cast. The commitments we make today to the fu- ture of the Hubble observatory will equip a new generation of young men and women to explore the astronomical frontier at the start of the st century. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 FRONT & BACK COVER 1.Globular clusters containing young stars at the core of elliptical galaxy NGC 1275.
