		Central Montana Geology ^Votes:0 Central Montana Geology by David Baker Central Montana contains a "showcase" of geologic features, some of which are "world-class" in character. I conducted a series of 7 geology field trips/workshops in the spring and summer of 1999 covering many of these features. The workshops were specifically designed for teachers and the general public so that they can identify major geologic features in the area and the plate tectonic motions that caused them. Plate tectonics revolutionized the earth sciences 35 years ago and it is now time to bring local examples into the classroom and into public awareness. Highlights from these field trips include the large waterfalls on the Missouri River, a 450 foot deep pre-glacial gorge on the south side of Great Falls, a large lake dammed by a continental gl Read More Go to Site

		Edge-On Galaxies ^Votes:0 EDGE-ON GALAXIES OF THE SPRING SKY Material to complement the article in the April 1996 issue of "Sky & Telescope" Thanks for reading my article in "Sky & Telescope". There is more information included in these pages than could have fit into the article. You will find notes, drawings, and more photographs of edge-on galaxies. I also include my full observing list of over forty bright edge-on galaxies in the Spring sky. Included in this list is object data for the galaxies in the Spring sky with aspect ratios greater than 4 and magnitudes brighter than 12. All told, there are about 40 galaxies. The source for the data was "The Deep Sky Field Guide to Uranometria 2000.0". Of course, there may be many interesting edge-on galaxies fainter than magnitude 12. Here are my notes taken for the brig Read More Go to Site
