    Extractions: Extras Einband anschauen Internet-Link zum Titel: Internet-Seite zur Reihe an der Uni Bonn Zum Buch Astronomy would not exist without nonverbal representations: With the majority of celestial objects perceptible to us only by the light or radiations they emit, images of all kinds have always played a central role in the history of astronomy. From prehistoric sketches of the moon with a supernova or bright planet, star-charts in temples and tombs of the Ancients, celestial and lunar maps from the Middle Ages to modern photographs and spectrograms of sun, moon, and planets, two-dimensional images and three-dimensional models have always been an integral element of astronomy. Added to these are a variety of more technical charts and graphs, like the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, the Maunder-type solar activity diagrams, the light curves of variable stars, the spectral atlases of the sun and the brightest stars, and so forth; and more recently, of course, there are the spectacular images obtained from large ground-based telescopes, satellite observatories, and deep space probes. This intimate relationship between science and image is not as straightforward, however, as it might at first seem. How direct is this graphic conversion of the subject of observation or registration by man or machine? What problems emerge in the translation process? Does this endless quest for ever better representational forms and ever better resolution have repercussions on the research practice? What is the impact of technological developments? How do astronomers and astrophysicists interact with their illustrators, engravers, lithographers, photographers and other graphic arts specialists? And how can these visual records from the past best be preserved?

    Extractions: Advanced Search History of Astronomy at the University of Mississippi Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard discovered Sirius B, the "white dwarf" companion of Sirius the "dog star". However, due to the outbreak of the Civil War, it was never delivered to the University of Mississippi. Barnard's telescope was subsequently purchased by the Chicago Astronomical Society in 1863, and was given in trust to Northwest University in 1887. That telescope, together with Barnard's collection of physics instruments, would have allowed the University of Mississippi to become the foremost institution in America for the study of physics and astronomy. One of only three remaining antebellum buildings on campus, Barnard Observatory is now the home of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture . The Department of Physics and Astronomy moved to Lewis Hall and the Kennon Observatory in 1939. Kennon Observatory, conceived by Professor William Lee Kennon, was completed in 1939. Two copper-roofed domes were included to accomodate two different instruments: a fifteen inch telescope that was purchased in 1893, with co-aligned visual and photographic telescopes, was moved into the bigger dome, while the smaller dome originally housed a five inch telescope that had been acquired by F. A. P. Barnard in about 1856. In 1997, the department began refurbishing the smaller dome and the octagonal rooms of the Kennon Observatory. The smaller dome currently houses an electronic CCD camera attached to a twelve inch Schmidt-Cassegrian telescope.

    Extractions: The astronomical tradition at Case Western Reserve University, then Case School of Applied Science, had its beginning before the foundation of the college itself, when its founder, Leonard Case, Jr., met John Stockwell, a self-educated astronomer. The two collaborated in a number of theoretical investigations concerning the motion of the moon. When the college was organized shortly after the death of Leonard Case, John Stockwell became its first Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy. Research and instruction in astronomy began in the year 1881. About that time, two astronomical enthusiasts, Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey, moved their machine tool firm to Cleveland and began their distinguished careers in the manufacture of precision instruments and large telescopes. Worcester R. Warner and Ambrose Swasey They took a great interest in Case School of Applied Science; and when, after some years, they became trustees of the college, it was natural for them to take an interest in improving the astronomical equipment of the college. They encouraged Charles S. Howe, the second professor of astronomy and later president, in his work on the determination of fundamental star positions with the almuncantar. So interested were these two men in the study of the stars that they built and housed a 9.5 inch refracting telescope in a small observatory between their adjoining residences in Cleveland.
