    UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - MADISON Department of Astronomy Astronomy 113 Laboratory Manual Fall 2011 Professor: Snezana Stanimirovic 4514 Sterling Hall [email protected] TA: Natalie Gosnell 6283B Chamberlin Hall [email protected] 1 2 Contents Introduction 1 Celestial Rhythms: An Introduction to the Sky 2 The Moons of Jupiter 3 Telescopes 4 The Distances to the Stars 5 The Sun 6 Spectral Classification 7 The Universe circa 1900 8 The Expansion of the Universe 3 ASTRONOMY 113 Laboratory Introduction Astronomy 113 is a hands-on tour of the visible universe through computer simulated and experimental exploration. During the 14 lab sessions, we will encounter objects located in our own solar system, stars filling the Milky Way, and objects located much further away in the far reaches of space. Astronomy is an observational science, as opposed to most of the rest of physics, which is experimental in nature. Astronomers cannot create a star in the lab and study it, walk around it, change it, or explode it. Astronomers can only observe the sky as it is, and from their observations deduce models of the universe and its contents. They cannot ever repeat the same experiment twice with exactly the same parameters and conditions. Remember this as the universe is laid out before you in Astronomy 113 – the story always begins with only points of light in the sky. From this perspective, our understanding of the universe is truly one of the greatest intellectual challenges and achievements of mankind. The exploration of the universe is also a lot of fun, an experience that is largely missed sitting in a lecture hall or doing homework.

The sand became fine, silt-like. Sharp edges of shells pressed into her feet. Cool water climbed her calves with each step, tickling the soft skin on the back of her knees. On the far side of the estuary marram-grassed sand dunes met blue sky. The dunes ran along the entire the horizon. From the grassy headland at Gunnanundi Point north to the mouth of Broken River. Beyond the dunes waves crashed. Their seamless roar drowned out the cawing oystercatchers. They had menaced Rose all the way from the shoreline, but were forced to remain at the edge of the shallows. From there they continued to vigilantly pace, shouting shrill warnings. Keep clear of our nests. She wished she could reassure the birds, explain that she was just like them. A mother. Watchful. Overprotective. She looked over her shoulder to a flash of colour peeking out from the base of the old Morton Bay Fig tree that straddled the shoreline. There, wrapped in a florid patchwork quilt, baby Lucinda slept. The wizened buttress roots of the elephantine tree provided a natural cradle for the child. Rose imagined herself prowling protectively in front of the tree, screaming at a perceived threat.

  • PROPOSED PART I. INTRODUCTION This Topic Was First Introduced on the Plannin Report Introduces the Concept of Creating a Rur C
    Department of Community Service s Land Use and Transportation Planning Program http://www.multco.us/landuse 1600 SE 190 th Avenue, Portland Oregon 97233 -5910 • PH. (503) 988-3043 • Fax (503) 988 -3389 STAFF REPORT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THE WORK SESSION ON OCTOBER 7, 2013 PROPOSED DARK SKIES REGULATIONS CASE FILE : PC-2013-3056 PART I. INTRODUCTION This topic was first introduced on the Planning Commission work program in 2004. This staff report introduces the concept of creating a rural outdoor lighting ordinance for the purpose of conserving the night skies. Outdoor lighting ordinances a re commonly referred to as ‘dark sky’ ordinances in the communities where they have been adopted in reference to a primary goal of such ordinances – to protect dark skies at night. Dark skies are one of the many qualities that set rural areas apart from u rban and suburban communities. Existing County land-use codes only require lighting standards in certain scenarios. The documentation in this report is based on the information contained in the included attachments. PART II. CREATION OF AN OUTDOOR LIGH TING ORDINANCE - WHY DO IT? Preservation of the Night Skies Growth and light pollution from excessive outdo or lighting is diminishing the view of the stars in and around urban areas, as well as within smaller towns and rural areas. While excessive light may cause a nuisance to others, it also wastes money and electricity, results in unnecessary emissions of greenhouse gases , and can have negative e ffects on humans and wildlife (see Attachment E). The “Dark Skies” concept promotes the precautionary appro ach to outdoor lighting design.
