Epitome, quintessence, nonpareil? Within my lifetime there have been only a handful of guys—one of them my former boss, Joseph Ashbrook—who could have pulled off such a brilliant, accurate synthesis of the history of lunar mapping and the concomitant search for change, something that would make the Moon worth watching. Here, with William Sheehan and Thomas Dobbins, we get two of the savants at once! From Galileo to Clementine, if you want to know how the Moon was unmasked, it's all here and delivered in captivating, beautiful prose.

    Important Astronomers, their Instruments and Discoveries
    by Paul M. Rybski
    Part 1
    Pre-telescopic Instruments, their Inventors and Users
    Merkets and Waterclocks
    Babylonian observations (1500 BC?) recorded solar and lunar eclipses as well as planetary observations using merkets and waterclocks. Macedonian philosopher Thales of Miletus (575-532 BC?) predicted a solar eclipse using Babylonian observations and mapped out constellations to aid navigation. Alexandrian astronomer Eratosthenes (260-201 BC?) measured the circumference of the Earth using comparative shadow rod measurements in two places and knowledge of the distance between them.
    The Cross-Staff
    Alexandrian astronomers Aristillus and Timocharis charted the positions of the brighter stars (284 BC), producing the first star catalog using a Cross-staff. Aristarchus of Samos (250 BC?) calculated the distance of the Sun from the Earth and the Moon and Sun's sizes relative to Earth by observations during solar and lunar eclipses and at first quarter Moon using a Cross-staff.
    Armillary Spheres
    Eratosthenes (204 BC) catalogued more than seven hundred stars using one, and possibly two, armillary spheres.

    VRML for Rocket Scientists, Astronomers, and Truck Drivers
    Last Updated 7 Aug, 2002 Web3D is a more inclusive term which has come to include a number of technologies, of which VRML is just one. 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.

    Brief description on what sunspots, along with drawings by various astronomers and space analysts.
    http://es.rice.edu/ES/humsoc/Galileo/Things/sunspots.html
    Sunspots
    Johannes Kepler wished to observe a predicted transit of Mercury across the Sun's disk, and on the appointed day he projected the Sun's image through a small hole in the roof of his house (a camera obscura ) and did indeed observe a black spot that he interpreted to be Mercury. Had he been able to follow up on his observation the next day, he would still have seen the spot. Since he knew that Mercury takes only a few hours to cross the Sun's disk during one of its infrequent transits, he would have known that what he observed could not have been Mercury.
    The scientific study of sunspots in the West began after the telescope had been brought into astronomy in 1609. Although there is still some controversy about when and by whom sunspots were first observed through the telescope, we can say that Galileo and Thomas Harriot were the first, around the end of 1610; that Johannes and David Fabricius and Christoph Scheiner first observed them in March 1611, and that Johannes Fabricius was the first to publish on them. His book, De Maculis in Sole Observatis ("On the Spots Observed in the Sun") appeared in the autumn of 1611, but it remained unknown to the other observers for some time.

    Astronomers hatch plan to move Earth's orbit from warming sun
    By Dennis Newman CNN Headline News writer (CNN) A group of astronomers has come up with a plan they claim will save life on Earth from an early demise. All it takes, they say, is moving the planet into a different orbit. Their deadline is about 3.5 billion years in the future. At that time, the scientists say, the sun will be 40 percent brighter than it is today and the Earth will be too hot to sustain life. Even looking just a billion years down the road, the increased brightness of the sun would cause a "moist greenhouse" effect which will have a catastrophic impact on the planet. MESSAGE BOARD NASA projects But what if the Earth could be moved farther away from the sun before it gets too hot for human life? Researchers Don Korycansky of the University of California-Santa Cruz, Gregory Laughlin of NASA, and Fred Adams of the University of Michigan say the idea of changing the Earth's orbit is almost, "alarmingly feasible."
