43. ASP: Indiana Jones And The Astronomers Of Yore Introduction to basic archaeoastronomical concepts with examples from across the world. http://www.astrosociety.org/education/publications/tnl/31/31.html

No. 31 - Summer 1995 and the Astronomers of Yore Edwin C. Krupp at the Saqqara pyramids near Cairo, Egypt. Krupp has poked around nearly 600 archaeological sites throughout the world. He is director of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles and author of several books, including In Search of Ancient Astronomies and Echoes of Ancient Skies: The Astronomy of Lost Civilizations. Photo by Robin Rector Krupp. by Louis Winkler, Pennsylvania State University Indiana Jones is a registered trademark of Lucasfilm Ltd. Archaeoastronomy, like the study of dinosaurs, reconstructs things and circumstances of the deep past. There's the intrigue of the megaliths of Stonehenge, the ancient pyramids of Egypt, the earthen figures of Britain and Peru, and the bloody rituals of the Maya. The earliest societies of the British Isles, Egypt, China, Peru, and North America all paid close attention to the skies (see figure 1 ). The ancient Maya, Romans, Christians, Jews, and Muslims all devised calendars. To make sense of these great structures and sophisticated concepts, archaeologists and astronomers have pooled their talents. They work together to understand ethnic groups over six millennia of world history. As a science, archaeoastronomy is unusual in the amount of subjectivity that it involves. Although based on astronomy and spherical geometry, interpretations of sites can vary wildly. For teachers, this is a blessing. High-school students can get involved in real problems. They can perform activities either in the classroom or field, and if funds are available, they can visit actual archaeological sites. Some of the material requires little or no mathematical manipulation; the most difficult involves simple trigonometry.

The OTAA was formed in 1956 by four astronomy clubs that were located near the Ohio Turnpike. The organization was intended to open communication between astronomy clubs by setting dates for Ohio clubs to hold their conventions. Members of OTAA are astronomy clubs and institutions, it is not open to individuals. Members of the clubs that belong to OTAA are all considered to be members of the OTAA. Today, the OTAA clubs are not all located on the Turnpike. We have established The George Diedrich Award in honor of George Diedrich who was instrumental in the early days of the OTAA. This award is given to outstanding amateur astronomers. Our activities include our yearly conventions-produced by our member clubs and special activities such as setting up observing sites for special events like eclipses.

The dim objects, which scientists are calling methane brown dwarfs, are smaller than stars yet larger than planets, the paper said. Unlike previously observed brown dwarfs, the new objects have atmospheres rich in methane and exist independently, far away from neighboring stars, astronomers said. Astronomers said the new objects are probably older brown dwarfs that have cooled over billions of years. The presence of methane would not have been possible in hotter, younger objects, according to the report. The discovery, the result of ambitious new surveys of the sky, was announced Monday at meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Chicago.

51. Turning On The Universe astronomers say the Universe's expansion has been accelerating recently. A new model for repulsive 'dark energy' may help explain the acceleration in a more natural way than other models. From Physical Review Focus. http://focus.aps.org/v5/st8.html

Previous Story Next Story January - June 2000 Archive Phys. Rev. Lett. (issue of 6 March 2000) 24 February 2000 Title and Authors Turning On the Universe P. Challis/NASA Sign of the times. Hubble Space Telescope observations of many supernovae like this one (lower left, nearly as bright as its galaxy) suggest that the Universe's expansion has been accelerating recently. A new model for repulsive "dark energy" may help explain the acceleration in a more natural way than other models. Cosmologists are still scratching their heads as evidence continues to mount that our universe is unlike anything we imagined only a few years ago: The universal expansion is accelerating rather than slowing down. Some mysterious, repulsive "dark energy" seems to fuel the acceleration, overpowering the tendency of the expansion to decelerate. But what is this stuff? The dark energy theory in the 6 March PRL is promising according to experts because its parameters are closely related to fundamental physical constants, and it may also be related to superstring theorythe current best hope for a "theory of everything." One approach to dark energy known as quintessence assumes that a special repulsive field permeates all of space. Each theory specifies a function for the energy contained in the field, somewhat like the energy of electromagnetic fields. The problem, according to Andreas Albrecht of the University of California at Davis, is that in order to match all of the astronomical observations, the repulsion has to be weak for most of the history of the Universe and only become significant in the recent past, when the expansion began to take off. But that sudden "turn-on" behavior often requires theorists to choose specific parameter values just to match the data. "You're simply pulling numbers out of a hat," says Albrecht.

VRML itself is an acronym for "Virtual Reality Modeling Language". It is the International Standard (ISO/IEC 14772) file format for describing interactive 3D multimedia on the Internet. The first release of the VRML 1.0 specification was created by Silicon Graphics, Inc. and based on the Open Inventor file format. The second release of VRML added significantly more interactive capabilities. It was primarily designed by the Silicon Graphics VRML team with contributions from Sony Research, Mitra, and many others. VRML 2.0 was reviewed by the VRML moderated email discussion group and later adopted and endorsed by many companies and individuals. In December 1997, VRML97 replaced VRML 2.0 and was formally released as International Standard ISO/IEC 14772.

Personal Pages of Astronomers It may be hard to believe, but I am not the only person in the world who likes astronomy. There are thousands of us out there! Each is unique. Everyone has different interests. Some like to take pictures with an "old fashioned" SLR camera and some like using advanced Charged Coupled Devices (CCD). There are even a very few of us that are fortunate enough to get paid for studying the universe. Some of us just like to look up to the night sky and wonder what makes it all go. I hope you take the time and explore some of these sites on the internet and realize how important astronomy is to us. If you would like to have your home page added here e-mail me at stargazer@voyager.net and I will add it. Be sure to put "Personal Page" in the subject heading. If you would like to add a link to my home page from yours then you certainly may do so (Just let me know - I get a kick out of seeing links to my page !). If you have trouble with any of the links on this page or discover that a URL has changed then please notify me and I will correct it. Also, if you find a home page that is not appropriate (i.e. UFO nut cases) then please notify me and I'll remove it. I've only had the chance to check out a handful of these sites myself. Thanks for stopping by! Special thanks to Kevin Jung for helping me maintain this site and keep it up-to-date!

55. Famous Physicists And Astronomers Michael Faraday Short biography explains the importance of Faraday's work. http://www.phy.hr/~dpaar/fizicari/xfaraday.html

Michael Faraday The English chemist and physicist Michael Faraday, b. Sept. 22, 1791, d. Aug. 25, 1867, is known for his pioneering experiments in electricity and magnetism. Many consider him the greatest experimentalist who ever lived. Several concepts that he derived directly from experiments, such as lines of magnetic force, have become common ideas in modern physics. Faraday was born at Newington, Surrey, near London. He received little more than a primary education, and at the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a bookbinder. There he became interested in the physical and chemical works of the time. After hearing a lecture by the famous chemist Humphry Davy, he sent Davy the notes he had made of his lectures. As a result Faraday was appointed, at the age of 21, assistant to Davy in the laboratory of the Royal Institution in London. During the initial years of his scientific work, Faraday occupied himself mainly with chemical problems. He discovered two new chlorides of carbon and succeeded in liquefying chlorine and other gases. He isolated benzene in 1825, the year in which he was appointed director of the laboratory. Davy, who had the greatest influence on Faraday's thinking, had shown in 1807 that the metals sodium and potassium can be precipitated from their compounds by an electric current, a process known as electrolysis. Faraday's vigorous pursuit of these experiments led in 1834 to what became known as Faraday's laws of electrolysis.
