Up until very recently, no earth-bound method of time keeping could match the accuracy of time determinations derived from observations of the sun and the planets. All the time units that appear natural to man are caused by astronomical phenomena: The year by Earth's orbit around the Sun and the resulting run of the seasons, the month by the Moon's movement around the Earth and the change of the Moon phases, the day by Earth's rotation and the succession of brightness an Read More Go to Site Astronomy Plus CCD Images of Galaxies Votes:0 Go Here for Hubble Ultra Deep Field Wanna See Dr. DarkMatter's new book on Cosmology?

Portia on #sciastro) with the REAL Portia, who may look like a dog, but is actually a little person in a Pug suit. My love of the night sky began nearly 40 years ago, when I was a little girl. My father would take me outside at night and point out the constellations, like Orion, Casseiopeia, and of course, the asterism known as the Big Dipper. He showed me the phases of the moon, and explained why the sun moved further north during the summer months. Among the many ideas he instilled in me was the fact that the sky is up there for everyone to enjoy; one doesn't need expensive equipment, or a lot of formal education in science and astronomy, to appreciate the splendors of the night sky. All that is required is interest. I have taken this to heart and some o Read More Go to Site Astronomy Picture of the Day Votes:0 Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2007 November 19 Aurora in the Distance Credit & Copyright: Lance McVay Explanation: Some auroras can only be seen with a camera. They are called sub-visual and are too faint to be seen with the unaided eye. The reason is that the human eye only accumulates light for a fraction of a second at a time, while a camera shutter can be left open indefinitely. When photographing an already picturesque scene above Juneau , Alaska , USA , a camera caught green sub-visual aurora near the horizon. Auroras are sparked by energetic particles from the Sun impacting the magnetic environment around the Earth Read More Go to Site Astronomy Resources: Links, Telescopes, Movies, Deep Space, Instructional Materials Votes:0 AstronomyLinks & Interesting Sites Beyond Planet Earth Unbelievable!

Whether originating here or due to migration from Kyushu, the Asuka area became the center around which most of Japan united in early centuries of the "Christian Era". Reliable historical evidence indicates that exchanges between scholars of classic Chinese principles and the more aristocratic members of the Japanese court occurred as early as the mid 6th century. These exchanges not only gave rise to the infusion of technology, religion, and other aspects of Chinese culture, but astronomical calendar reckoning, astrology, and divination as well. Unlike Kyoto and Nara, most of the towns in the Asuka area are rather small. There are many hills and small mountains with farms and assorted orchards mixed between.

While there is a little information to help you appreciate the images this is not a tutorial on the astronomy of nebulae. If these images inspire you to study stellar evolution that's great, but my intent is primarily to showcase a part of Nature's beauty that is accessible to us only via the telescope. This document is concerned exclusively with gaseous nebulae; galaxies and other stellar aggregates are not included. See Types of Nebulae for more details. The Structure of this document The main body of this document consists of two pages for each of about 25 objects. The first page consists almost entirely of a large image of the object.

The lens was a Zuiko 28mm/2.8, while the exposure was 60" at f/2.8.

But all you need to be a stargazer are your naked eyes. On a clear night, looking skyward from a dark location, you can spot Venus and Jupiter, see the streak of our Milky Way, and even glimpse another galaxy two-million light years from the Earth. Less Than Hubble-Vision While the view may be breathtaking, it's a tiny fraction of the universe. Naked-eye sky watchers, even under the best conditions, can count only about 3,000 of the billions and billions of stars in the cosmos. Our vision is limited by the amount of light that can pass through the human eye. The pupil of an eye acts like the aperture of a camera.

The Universe contains all of the galaxies , stars, and planets. The exact size of the Universe is unknown. Scientists believe the Universe is still expanding outward. They believe this outward expansion is the result of a violent, powerful explosion that occurred about 13.7 billion years ago. This explosion is known as the Big Bang . By looking at an object's electromagnetic spectrum , scientists can determine if an object is moving away from Earth or towards Earth. When distant objects, such as quasars , are viewed from Earth, their spectrum is shifted towards red. Whenever there is a shift in a spectrum, it is called a Doppler Shift . If the shift is toward red, the light given Read More Go to Site StarChild: The Universe Votes:0 The Universe Listen The Universe is a huge wide-open space that holds everything from the smallest particle to the biggest galaxy . No one knows just how big the Universe is. Astronomers try to measure it all the time. They use a special instrument called a spectroscope to tell whether an object is moving away from Earth or toward Earth. Based on the information from this instrument, scientists have learned that the Universe is still growing outward in every direction. Scientists believe that about 13.7 billion years ago, a powerful explosion called the Big Bang happened. This powerful explosion set the Universe into motion and this motion continues today. Scientists are not yet sure if the motion will stop, change direction, or keep going forever.

As specified by the donor, the award is open to “citizens of any country and to persons of either sex.” Each year the directors of six observatories, three in the United States and three abroad, are asked to nominate candidates for the medal.

Saturn of the past three years through my Meade 10" SCT using a Quickcam pro and a 2X barlow. I am an avid astrophotographer and enjoy getting good color shots of great deep sky objects. The shot above shows one of my setups with my Meade 10" LX50 telescope. In this configuration, I am piggybacking an Orion 120MM F5 refractor with a Nikon D70 attached. Using a Nikon D70 and an Orion 120MM F5 refractor, I was able to take this photograph of the andromeda galaxy. Notice the companion galaxies M32 and NGC 205 (sometimes referred to as M110). Exposure was a stack of six five-minute exposures at ISO 800 with noise reduction. This is one of my favorite shots.
