   Extractions: Friday, May 25th, 2001 - A DSL network outage has kept the site down for most of the day. Of all the days for this to happen, Friday is the worst! Gary made the best of the situation by redesigning portions of the site and upgrading some hardware on the server. A new video card and tiny monitor will let him monitor the site more easily. We hope to continue improving the site whenever we can!

Telescope making is $111 for adults, $96 under 16, and approximately $350 for materials. For more information about the telescope you'll build in class, see the plans on this site. Cosmology with John Dobson is offered at the Randall Museum on Wednesdays from 7-9 p.m. beginning October 22. Cosmology is $100 for adults, $85 under 16. More information on classes at the Randall Museum is available here on their Events and Classes web page. To sign up for courses, contact the Randall Museum in San Francisco at (415) 554-9600. For John Dobson's full schedule visit the LA Sidewalk Astronomers website We stop people on sidewalks and let them see the craters of the Moon, the moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, or the spots on the Sun. For just a moment, they have a personal connection with the universe around them, and sometimes life seems a little better after that. 24-hour Telephone Hotline for Sidewalk Astronomy Events: Information email address: info at sfsidewalkastronomers.org

8. BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Astronomers Discover 'new Planet'
   A telescope has detected what could be the Solar System's 10th planet, Sedna.  
   http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3511678.stm
   
   Extractions: Sedna is currently about 13 billion km from Earth Astronomers have detected what could be the Solar System's 10th planet. It was first seen by astronomers using California's Mount Palomar Observatory, and has been given the name "Sedna" after the Inuit goddess of the ocean. Observations show it measures about 1,180-2,360km (730-1,470 miles) across, making it similar in size to Pluto. Astronomers now say they have evidence that Sedna has its own moon, although this needs to be confirmed, and is also very red in colour. There is likely to be some debate about whether it qualifies as a true planet, but some scientists are already saying it re-defines our Solar System. Further than Pluto Sedna, or 2003 VB12, as it was originally designated, is the most distant object yet found orbiting our Sun. It is three times further away than Pluto (average distance to the Sun is 5.9 billion km or 3.6 billion miles). It was discovered using the Mt Palomar facility in November by astronomers from the California Institute of Technology, Yale Observatory and the Gemini Observatory.

Some physicists use these principles in theoretical areas, such as the nature of time and the origin of the universe; others apply their physics knowledge to practical areas, such as the development of advanced materials, electronic and optical devices, and medical equipment. Physicists design and perform experiments with lasers, particle accelerators, telescopes, mass spectrometers, and other equipment. Based on observations and analysis, they attempt to discover and explain laws describing the forces of nature, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and nuclear interactions. Physicists also find ways to apply physical laws and theories to problems in nuclear energy, electronics, optics, materials, communications, aerospace technology, and medical instrumentation.

    Extractions: Sir George Bidell Airy (1801-1892) was the director of Greenwich Observatory/Astronomer Royal of England from 1835 to 1881. Airy installed a transit (a precise surveying device) at Greenwich, England, which was used to define the zero degree meridian of the Earth (zero-degrees longitude). A crater on Mars about 5 degrees south of the equator and on what is defined as Mars' prime meridian (zero-degrees longitude) is call Airy. A small crater within this crater (which is called Airy-0) is where the meridian line (zero-degrees longitude) crosses. A crater on the moon is also named for him (latitude 18.1 degrees, longitude 354.3 degrees, diameter 36 km). Airy is supposed to have stated incorrectly that Charles Babbage's new "analytical engine" (the predecessor of the computer) was "worthless," effectively ending Babbage's government funding.
