However, if its planetary status is confirmed, it may be that astronomy s governingbody, the International Astronomical Union, will want to reconsider this

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.

Search Space / Astronomy From Nick Greene Despite early achievements in space exploration during the 1960s, our "Space Age" is still in its infancy. We should expect to see many exciting "firsts" in space. The event scheduled for June 21, 2004, though, could have the biggest impact on space travel since Neil Armstrong made his own historic "small step" on July 20, 1969. SpaceShipOne, a privately-developed rocket plane will launch into history on June 21 on a mission to become the worlds first commercial manned space vehicle. It will rocket to 100 kilometers (62 miles) into sub-orbital space above the Mojave Civilian Aerospace Test Center, a commercial airport in the California desert. If successful, it will demonstrate that the space frontier is finally open to private enterprise. This event could be the breakthrough that will enable space access for future generations.

Extractions: Scheduled speakers and abstracts here Open Positions Within the Department: Positions currently open for employment within the department are available for examination here Theory Proposes New View of Sun and Earth's Creation Like most creation stories, this one is dramatic: we began, not as a mere glimmer buried in an obscure cloud, but instead amidst the glare and turmoil of restless giants. Or so says a new theory, supported by stunning astronomical images and hard chemical analysis. For years most astronomers have imagined that the Sun and Solar System formed in relative isolation, buried in a quiet, dark corner of a less-than-imposing interstellar cloud. The new theory challenges this conventional wisdom, arguing instead that the Sun formed in a violent nebular environment - a byproduct of the chaos wrought by intense ultraviolet radiation and powerful explosions that accompany the short but spectacular lives of massive, luminous stars.

Extractions: Astronomy at Foothill College The Pleiades star cluster © Ken Lum, P.A.S. Discover the Universe at Foothill College! A wide range of academic and public programs in astronomy are offered both during the day and in the evening. The Astronomy Department at Foothill College offers lecture and laboratory classes conducted by Andrew Fraknoi . Courses in solar system and stellar astronomy provide students with a non-technical introduction to the development of solar systems, the life and death of stars, the formation of galaxies, and the evolution of the universe. Located on campus, the Foothill Observatory provides students and members of the community with the opportunity for first-hand exploration of the wonders of the universe. Regularly scheduled public programs provide close-up views of the sun, moon, stars, and planets through the observatory's telescopes. In cooperation with the Peninsula Astronomical Society , Foothill College is regularly visited by noted guest-lecturers in astronomy. Previous speakers have included Clyde Tombaugh recounting his discovery of the planet Pluto, and Professor Geoff Marcy of San Francisco State University making the first announcement of the discovery of one of the planets his team has found around other stars. The Peninsula Astronomical Society holds its meetings on the campus of Foothill College on the second Friday of each month. Meetings feature lectures by prominent members of the professional and amateur communities, and are open to the public.

History And Philosophy Of Western Astronomy
The History chapter of an introductory astronomy course.
http://www.astronomynotes.com/history/s1.htm

Extractions: This material (including images) is . See my for fair use practices. Now that you have some feeling for the scales of time and space that astronomy This chapter covers the development of western astronomy and modern science. I focus on the rise of modern science in Europe, from the ancient Greeks to Isaac Newton. Other cultures were also quite interested and skilled in astronomy (the Mayans (link will display in another window), Egyptians, peoples of India and China come immediately to mind), but the Greeks were the first ones to try to explain how the universe worked in a logical, systematic manner using models and observations. Modern astronomy (and all of science) has its roots in the Greek tradition. If you would like a more thorough discussion of the history of astronomy than what I will present here, please take a look at Science and the Human Prospect by Ronald Pine (links will display in another window). I will give dates of when certain persons lived and worked to give you some reference points in the long history of astronomy. Don't worry about memorizing the dates. What is more important is to see the development of ideas and methods of modern science. I include images of world atlases from different time periods in this chapter and the next as another way to illustrate the advances in our understanding of our world and the universe. Links to the sites from which the photographs came are embedded in the images. Select the picture to go to the site. The vocabulary terms are in
