Extractions: Glossary of Terms Astronomical Almanac: A compilation of many facts used by both amateur and professional astronomers. Some of the information such as a list of bright stars stays the same from year to year. Other information such as the celestial positions of the planets and information about eclipses changes each year. This book is published by the US Naval Observatory Asterism: A recognizable pattern of bright stars, usually (but not always) associated with a single constellation. Cassegrain telescope: A reflecting telescope in which the secondary mirror is mounted in front of the telescope and reflects light back down the tube through a hole in the center of the primary mirror to the eyepiece. CCD Camera: A digital camera attached to a telescope for low light conditions of astronomy. CCD stands for charged-coupled device. A CCD consists of a large array of light-sensitive elements that are used to record images of stars and galaxies. Instead of the image being recorded on film, the CCD image is placed in an image file on the computer. Constellation: A designated region of the sky containing a pattern of stars identified by name. The entire sky surrounding the earth is divided into 88 constellations named after mythological figures, animals, and objects. Each constellation occupies a region of the sky containing that star pattern. Each season different constellations are visible in the sky from any given location.

It represents Chiron, one of the half-man, half-horse beasts of Greek mythology. Chiron was accidentally wounded by Hercules. After his death, Hercules honored him by giving him a place in the stars. Under a dark sky, the outline of the constellation does indeed resemble a centaur. Centaurus is the site of the third brightest star in the sky, Rigel Kentaurus, at magnitude -0.01. This star is actually part of a triple star system which includes the well-known star, Alpha Centauri. These are actually the closest stars to our own Solar System. Another star in Centaurus, Agena, is the tenth brightest star in the night sky. This constellation contains no Messier objects.

http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/7028.html

Extractions: Sample Pages In this new edition of their classic guide, Ian Ridpath and Wil Tirion bring the night sky down to earth with brand new sky charts, diagrams, and photos that enrich the clear, engaging text. Stars and Planets will delight both latent astronomers who have yet to touch a telescope and the more star-savvy who have spent many a night outside craning their necks behind a lens. The introduction presents the basics of astronomical observation while answering such questions as: How did constellations come to be? Do the stars within them have anything to do with one another? Do stars really flicker? Next comes the book's centerpiece: an excellent series of maps of the night sky from hemisphere to hemisphere, month to month and, above all, charts showing all 88 constellations, including some 5,000 stars. The text vividly relates the human history behind each constellation and notes their most prominent stars while offering sundry stimulating facts. The second section focuses on the astrophysics behind stars, galaxies, the sun, the planets, comets and meteors, and more. Striking full-color photos, maps, and illustrations appear on almost every page. The guide concludes with helpful tips on the optical tools of the trade and on astrophotography. Astrophysicists and amateur skywatchers agree that

http://www.dibonsmith.com/vir_con.htm

Extractions: 13 April Virgo is the second largest constellation (after Hydra). As a member of the Zodiac, Virgo has a number of ancient myths and tales. The Sun passes through Virgo in mid-September, and is therefore the constellation that announces the harvest. Virgo is often represented as a "maiden" (as its name indicates). In antiquity, she may have been Isis, the Egyptian protectress of the living and the dead and the principal mother goddess. She was also Ishtar of the Sumerian-Chaldean civilisations, or "Inanna", meaning Queen of Heaven. Inanna is described by Kramer ( The Sumerians ) as an ambitious, aggressive, and demanding goddess of love. In Roman times the goddess Ceres was depicted: the goddess of the growth of food plants and harvests, and particularly corn. Her festival was in the second week of April, the same time that the constellation appears in the Spring skies. The Romans had simply adopted an earlier Greek goddess, Demeter. This goddess of agriculture was of the highest birth: born to Cronus and Rhea, she was the sister of Zeus. As evidence of her antiquity in Greek lore, her name has been found on a tablet from Pylos dating to the thirteenth century B.C. Demeter was said by Homer to have "lain with Iasion in a thrice-plowed field", the result of which was the birth of Plutus, whose name translates as "riches from the soil" (perhaps "cornucopia" would be an appropriate description).

http://www.dibonsmith.com/cvn_con.htm

Extractions: 5 April Canes Venatici is one of those obscure constellations introduced by Johannes Hevelius in 1690. It represents the two dogs Asterion and Chara, both held on a leash by Bootes as they apparently chase the Great Bear around the North Pole. With one exception, the constellation's stars are quite faint, fourth- and fifth-magnitude stars. There are only three Bayer stars , yet several notable binaries can be found, as well as a famous variable and a number of interesting deep sky objects as well. Alpha Canum Venaticorum is popularly called Cor Caroli ( Heart of Charles ). Most sources give Edmund Halley the credit, naming it after King Charles II after the restoration of the monarchy in Britain in 1660. (Some say, however, that the reference was initially meant to commemorate Charles I, after his execution.) The star has a visual magnitude of 2.9 (variable), a distance of 110 light years, and roughly the same size as our Sun. It is also a splendid double with, perhaps, a subtle colour contrast (discussed below). Canes Venatici has two attractive binaries: alpha CVn and 25 CVn Alpha and alpha CVn form a celebrated fixed double star system. Note that the primary is

Extractions: The sequence begins by depicting the collision of two large galaxies which now form The Antennae. Gas and stars from the galaxies are ejected into long arcs. The animation then shows how collisions between huge gas clouds in the central region of the merging system trigger a stellar baby boom. Next, as seen in a closer view, the most massive of these stars race through their evolution in a few million years. These stars end their lives as they explode as supernovas that further heat the clouds and enrich them with heavy elements. In conclusion, the animation dissolves into Chandraâs X-ray image of The Antennae galaxies.

Extractions: Centaurus - A June Constellation Contributed by Paul Rodmell, Southland Astronomical Society CENRAURUS (Pronounced sen-TAUR-us) Chart showing Centaurus Centaurus is a large and rich constellation representing a centaur in Greek mythology, reputedly the scholarly centaur Chiron, who was the tutor of many Greek heroes, and who, according to legend invented the main constellations. He was raised to the sky after being accidentally struck by a poisoned arrow from Hercules. The constellation is of particular interest because it contains the closest stars to the Sun, a (alpha) Centauri, a group of three stars linked by gravity. A line from a (alpha) through b (beta) Centauri (the Pointers) points to Crux, the Southern Cross. One of the strongest radio sources in the sky, Centaurus A, lies in the constellation, associated with the galaxy NGC 5128. Centaurus lies in a prominent part of the Milky Way, providing rich star fields and clusters for binoculars. Chart showing Centaurus as seen high in the sky to the south fairly early evening in June.

Extractions: Triangulum is a tiny group of stars surrounded by the constellations Perseus to the north, Andromeda to the north and west, and by the Zodiac constellations Aries and Pisces to the south. Although it is a small constellation with only faint stars, Triangulum was known to the ancient star-gazers and was originally called Deltoton, in reference to the shape of the Greek letter Delta. Egyptian astronomers also thought of these stars as a delta, but in the sense of the delta of the river Nile; and so to them it was named Nili Domus, home of the Nile.
