    Ancient stone circles and tombs in Ireland align with the Sun and the Moon, say astronomers. BBC Article  
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2928043.stm
    
    Extractions: Stone Age people in Ireland appear to have built tombs based on a detailed knowledge of how the Sun moves across the sky during the year. Sunlight strikes the inside of the tomb at the autumn equinox ( Image: knowth.com Tombs at the archaeological site of Loughcrew in County Meath align with the rising Sun at the spring and autumn equinoxes. The inside of the chambers are spectacularly illuminated by a shaft of sunlight at dawn on these days, said Frank Prendergast of the Dublin Institute of Technology. It suggests settlers in the area some 5 to 6,000 years ago knew the yearly cycle of the Sun and perhaps centred their lives around it. Tombs found elsewhere in Ireland have been found to point towards the rising Sun at the summer and winter solstices. At these times, the Sun reaches its most northerly and southerly points in the sky, which can be easily observed from any place on Earth.

Amateur Astronomy Uses of ADC The Astronomical Data Center specializes in archiving and distributing collections of data that have been published by professional astronomers. Most of these data sets are in the form of computer-readable tables of numbers, rather than images. Amateur astronomers can find these data collections useful in looking up the properties and locations of celestial objects. This can help amateurs plan for observing sessions, and help them to better understand what they've observed. Please see our

    Extractions: Web posted at: 5:00 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) CHICAGO (AP) It may seem like the sun is just creeping through the heavens, but a new technique for measuring cosmic motion has found that sol is clipping along at an eye-popping 135 miles per second in its orbit of the Milky Way. Astronomers using a radio telescope system to make the most precise measurement ever of the solar system orbit found that it takes the sun and its family of planets 226 million years to circle the center of its home galaxy. That means that the last time the sun was at this point in its orbit of the Milky Way, dinosaurs ruled the world and human beings were not yet on the scene. The new measurement is the most precise value ever determined for one of the fundamental motions of the Earth and its sun, said James Moran of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He spoke Tuesday at the national meeting of the American Astronomical Society.

87. Revved-Up Universe: Science News Online, Feb. 12, 2000
    astronomers are convinced that the expansion of the Universe accelerates.

    Extractions: Week of Feb. 12, 2000; Vol. 157, No. 7 , p. 106 Ron Cowen Next week, the venerable American Museum of Natural History in New York City will unveil an exhibit on the history of the universe. Descending a spiral ramp, visitors will journey through the cosmos beginning at its fiery birth some 13 billion years ago. Favored model: Plaque at the entrance to a new cosmology exhibit is inscribed with omega lambda (last line), which represents the contribution of the cosmological constant to the universe's energy. R. Cowen Few will notice the small metal plaque at the entrance to the gallery, let alone the mathematical symbols engraved upon it. But these symbols speak volumes about the size and fate of the cosmos—and the rapidity with which astronomers have come to embrace one of the most bizarre discoveries ever made. Just 2 short years ago, two teams of astronomers presented the first evidence that we live in a runaway universe, driven to expand at a faster and faster rate.

    Extractions: 2001 Nov 13 Dear Colleagues: I have received a number of recent e-mails inquiring about the next Washington Area Astronomers Meeting. I regret to report that the 21-year series of Washington Area Astronomers Meetings has come to an end. This series of professional meetings, held on at least a yearly basis, provided the many astronomers and astrophysicists in the Washington-Baltimore area with an opportunity to hear and discuss recent research results that spanned specialty and wavelength boundaries. The meetings were organized by an Executive Committee with representatives from the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, Goddard Space Flight Center, Naval Research Lab, U.S. Naval Observatory, Space Telescope Science Institute, Applied Physics Lab, George Mason University, and Universities Space Research Association. The committee also had a member representing the many other institutions in the area with small numbers of astronomers on their staff (e.g., DTM, NASA HQ, Catholic U., etc.) Although the meetings developed a dedicated following of astronomers, attendance in recent years has been consistently below previous attendance figures and our expectations. In recent years, the Executive Committee tried various meeting format changes, without much success. In May, the committee reluctantly decided to bring the series of meetings to an end. The committee also decided at its final meeting that the remaining funds in the committee's bank account should go to furthering the progress of astronomy in developing countries. Part of the funds went to Don Wentzel, who is the IAU Chair for Teaching for Astronomy Development, for the purchase of a small telescope for variable star observations at the University of Zambia. The remainder went to the AAS fund for support of astronomy in developing countries, which is used when specific opportunities for such support arise.

    Extractions: Instruments Themes Personalities General Pages Home Maps Index Search The Starry Messenger is Phase I of the Electronic History of Astronomy developed in the Whipple Museum of the History of Science and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. This phase was directed by Dr Sachiko Kusukawa and Dr Liba Taub, and supported by funding from Trinity College, Cambridge. Dr David Chart was the Project Manager. The aim of this project is to make available electronically some aspects of the early history of astronomy for the use of students studying the History and Philosophy of Science in the University. The project has aspired to be 'educational' in another sense in that graduate students in the Department have contributed to its construction. By drawing on the rich collection of instruments and books in the Whipple Collection, the University Library and the Wren Library, we have sought to produce a history of astronomy which focuses on the uses of astronomy and its instruments, as well as on the practitioners of astronomy. We hope that this project goes some way towards illustrating the variety of uses (astrology, weather prediction, calendar reform) and inspirations (e.g. poetry), people in past societies and cultures found in astronomy.

This page discusses light pollution issues affecting Dexter Township (located in Southeast Michigan) and other communities in Southeast Michigan. More information about Light Pollution. Many communities have created ordinances to control lighting in response to increased public awareness of light pollution. Not only does this reduce light pollution, it reduces costs and is better for the environment. The following is a list of existing light pollution ordinances from communities in Southeast Michigan. More information on light pollution including a list of other light pollution ordinances. A number of communities are considering implementing light pollution ordinances. If you are concerned about light pollution and you live in the city of Ann Arbor or Livonia, show your support for ordinances that have been proposed but not implemented in these two cites. If you live in other cities, find out if there is any light pollution ordinances for your city. If there aren't find out why.
