    Extractions: The 512-node Intel Paragon XPS The Caltech Computational Astronomy Group is directed by Tom Prince . We use high-performance parallel computers for analysis of data from many different observatories, e.g. Palomar, Arecibo, Parkes, the Infrared Astronomy Satellite, and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Modern astronomical telescopes are using increasingly sophisticated instrument technology, and produce larger and more complex datasets which often require large amounts of computation to extract the maximum signal-to-noise ratio from an observation. Thus high-performance computers must be viewed as essential components of these new instruments. The following are some of our current projects in computational astronomy.

    Extractions: Astronomical Observatories The science of astronomy has a long tradition at the University of Vienna in Austria. Records show that astronomy has been persued since the middle ages. However, for most of the time the work of the Austrian astronomers was hampered by the lack of suitable telescopes. The largest telescope of the old Vienna Observatory, until the middle of the 19th century located on the roof of the old building of the University near the center of Vienna, had a diameter of only 6 inches. As a consequence astronomers in Vienna turned to other areas of interest; they became specialists in calculating orbits of planets and comets. During the 19th century Austria was a seafaring nation. To support the navigation of her ships at sea, Austria had, as all seafaring nations had to have, a naval observatory. The Austro-Hungarian Imperial Naval Observatory in Pola, Istria Photograph courtesy of Österreichisches Staatsarchiv Pola The oldest astronomical observatory in present-day Croatia was established in Pula in 1871 as part of the Hydrographical Institute of the Imperial and Royal Navy. Pola was the "Kriegshafen" (literally: war harbour) of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at that time.

51. Archaeoastronomy And The Search For Ancient Observatories
    Brief overview of the use of astronomy in different ancient cultures across the world.  
    http://www.uiowa.edu/~anthro/webcourse/lost/projects97/Archae.html
    
    Extractions: by Lyndsay Kyker With the emergence of Archaeoastronomy over the past few decades, the sciences have been presented with a unique opportunity to delve into the basis of ancient studies through the study of astronomical phenomenon. Beginning with the groundbreaking interpretations of Harvard astronomist Gerald Hawkins in reference to astronomical alignments at Stonehenge in England, the field has expanded greatly to encompass pre-historic cultures on a global basis. Once thought to be 'savages' incapable of actively engaging in the world of 'science' we are finding that Old World and New World cultures alike shared a vested interest in astronomy and the regularity of prediction to be gained from their knowledge of the night skies. The derivative cultures being accessed through the remnants they have left behind possess powerful and unique identities and eschatologies, constructing their universes in drastically different ways than perhaps even their closest neighbors. While many of the structures which have been documented over the years as being used in some capacity for astronomical observation, and which often times share the same alignments and impart meaning on the same events such as solstice or equinox, those responsible for their construction may have had very different reasons for doing so, based on their own world views and cultural values.

    http://radio.uindy.edu/radio/
    
    Extractions: 1.42 GHz Conversion Chart Radio astronomy is astronomical observation at radio wavelengths. For example, you can observe the Crab Nebula at the wavelength of visible light by looking at the light it emits through a telescope or at radio wavelengths by looking at the data from a radio telescope that observes the radio waves it emits. You can learn more about radio astronomy. This radio astronomy project has as its antenna a 5 meter parabolic dish antenna on the roof of Lilly Hall at the University of Indianapolis. The dish focuses the radio waves into a feedhorn, which collects the radio waves for the electronic devices that make up the receiver. The receiver converts the radio waves into a DC voltage that is proportional to the total power of the radio waves collected. The DC voltage goes into an Analog/Digital converter that converts the voltage to a digital computer number. The time and voltage are recorded in a data file by a computer. You can read more about the technical details.

60. Caltech Astronomy : History: 1908-1949
    The telescopes at Mt. Wilson and Palomar.  
    http://www.astro.caltech.edu/observatories/palomar/history/
    
    Extractions: Printable Version The following timeline covers the early history of Palomar Observatory, from its conception in the early 1900's, through the 200-inch's twenty-one years of construction until it began full-time observing in 1949. All images except the last one ( Caltech Archives . Click on any image to enlarge. 1908: Mt. Wilson 60-inch telescope Under the supervision of George Ellery Hale, and through grants from the Carnegie Institution of Washington, the Mount Wilson 60-inch telescope is completed and sees "first light." It is the world's largest telescope, and with the exceptionally calm and stable atmosphere above the Los Angeles basin, astronomers can see fainter and more distant objects than ever before. Harlow Shapley uses this telescope to measure the size of our galaxy (the Milky Way) and the solar system's position in it. 1917: Mt. Wilson 100-inch telescope While the 60-inch is constructed, Hale and the Carnegie Institution plan a yet larger design. Despite technical challenges in casting and shaping the glass mirror, and difficulties with funding, the 100-inch telescope is completed in 1917. It is a temperamental machine - the large mirror is highly sensitive to temperature variations which cause it to go out of focus easily. Despite such problems, it provides an unparalleled view of the faraway universe. Edwin Hubble uses this instrument to determine the distances and velocities of neighboring galaxies, demonstrating that they are separate "island universes" and not small nebulae contained within the Milky Way, as many astronomers had previously thought. He also discovers the first indications that the universe is expanding. Measurements of more distant galaxies, and fine details of the near ones, are still beyond the reach of the 100-inch.
