News Sport Weather World Service ... Programmes Last Updated: Monday, 15 March, 2004, 18:24 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Astronomers discover 'new planet' 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.

AIRY, GEORGE Sir George Bidell Airy (1801-1892) was the director of Greenwich Observatory/Astronomer Royal of England from 1835 to 1881. Airy installed a transit (a precise surveying device) at Greenwich, England, which was used to define the zero degree meridian of the Earth (zero-degrees longitude). A crater on Mars about 5 degrees south of the equator and on what is defined as Mars' prime meridian (zero-degrees longitude) is call Airy. A small crater within this crater (which is called Airy-0) is where the meridian line (zero-degrees longitude) crosses. A crater on the moon is also named for him (latitude 18.1 degrees, longitude 354.3 degrees, diameter 36 km). Airy is supposed to have stated incorrectly that Charles Babbage's new "analytical engine" (the predecessor of the computer) was "worthless," effectively ending Babbage's government funding.

Rose City Astronomers Site Index Membership Calendar Newsletter ... Star Links Oregon Dark Skies Rose City Astronomers are proud members of the International Dark Sky Association. Our members are active observers in Oregon and Southern Washington. IDA Newsletters Why are engineers, medical professionals, and amateur astronomers, concerned about the effects of Light Pollution? Some studies show: the effects of not sleeping in total darkness can degrade the immune system of animals and humans. Poor lighting and wasted energy is misuse of electricity and money. Misdirected light, 'Light Trespass' is a nuisance and architecturally unappealing. Studies show that various uses of lighting may actually increase crime, just exactly the opposite of what people try to achieve. The light pollution from inferior lighting design on highways creates a hazard to driving known as 'Road Glare.' The light polluted night sky is a priceless educational resource lost to poor lighting management. RCA has a slide show created by the International Dark Sky Association which is available by request. These slides show different lighting techniques and their effect on the night sky.
