Amateur Astronomy activities Background Like for many of my kind, my interest in amateur astronomy dates back to my early youth, when questions regarding the starry sky would not get satisfactory answers, even from my dad. So I embarked on a mostly lonesome quest through various books and many years. After a failed attempt at seriously learning physics, I re-oriented myself towards computer science. This was successful, to the point that I managed to get a studentship with ESO . They liked what I did so I got hired once more on a small temporary contract -after I finished the degree in Computer Science- to work as a system programmer. At the time (1986-'87) I helped port the MIDAS data analysis software from the Vax VMS environment to the then lighter and cheaper Unix systems. Then I had to go back the home country for a compulsory military service. During that time, I applied again to the same organization which had an opening in the small group that was preparing the Hubble Space Telescope data archive. After a few years as a developper I became responsible first for the copy of the Hubble data archive in Europe. Later on this responsibility was extended to the operation of the archive of all ESO telescopes (including the VLT A project Since a few years, I have undertaken a fairly big project that makes use of all my skills and touches all my interests: building an automatic astronomical observatory. As an example of what can be done nowadays, I will describe in some details the whole project and its current status. First of all, as with all good projects, we will start with a set of requirements to be satisfied:

NOAO Education Project Astro ASTRO Information ... News About Project ASTRO Family Astro ASTRO-Chile Spanish Language ... Partners Project ASTRO, Tucson NOAO Educational Outreach Programs for Regional, National and International Arenas Project ASTRO Project ASTRO emerged at a time when the decreasing numbers of students interested in science and low scores on standardized science tests suggested that science education in the United States had reached a crisis point. A primary goal of Project ASTRO is to get students interested in science and maintain that interest through fun, hands-on activities that teach important concepts in astronomy. The program developed from a series of weekend workshops on teaching astronomy sponsored by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. In the basic model, Project ASTRO staff organize an initial workshop for the educators and astronomers to meet, exchange information, and learn about Project ASTRO and its goals. The pairing of educators and astronomers is seen as a true partnership, where each professional brings their unique skills to the project. During the nominal two-day workshop, partners are encouraged to get to know one another and the activities included in the text, "Universe at Your Fingertips," through joint demonstra-tions. This introduction to the material not only helps participants to use the text effectively, but also encourages partners to work together to think about ways they might adapt the activities to their students and their specific skills.

Our activities are organised into three strands. Each strand takes you step-by-step through a different aspect of hands-on astronomy. Strand 1 is an introduction to stargazing. It starts with our downloadable Star Wheel and goes on to provide a very simple yet comprehensive introduction to observational astronomy. Strands 2 and 3 are still in preparation. Publication dates are uncertain - the completion of these strands is being funded by subscriptions. What makes our activities special? Strand One Stargazing for Beginners Overview of this strand Landmarks The Stars as a Compass Make a Star Wheel ... The Shifting Stars Binocular Bonanza Jewels of the Sky Roller Coaster Stars Supporting Resources Star Story Book Strand Two Daytime Astronomy Measuring the Sun The Rolling Sun Sundial City Binocular Bonanza - Zits on the Sun Moon Mornings Strand Three Solar System Simulations There are plenty of astronomy activities you can do at home or in the classroom, but travelling to other planets is not one of them. We have devised some activities that let you create astronomical models from everyday materials.

International Astronomy Day: supported by The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Page Last Updated: 2004 April 14 International Astronomy Day 2004 is Saturday April 24th On that day, professional and amateur astronomers all over the world bring the Universe to the public, through public observing sessions, displays, and information booths in malls, science centres and planetaria. The RASC joins groups from nearly 30 countries in celebrating International Astronomy Day . Alternatively, some groups choose to celebrate International Astronomy Week, formally April 19-25. The phase of the Moon is a critical factor in the choice of date for Astronomy Day. On April 24th a five-day-old waxing crescent will be soaring high in the southwest at sunset. Other observing highlights of the chosen date four planets that are well-placed in the evening sky, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Venus is particularly well-placed, soaring high above the northern ecliptic not far from the Pleiades and nearing greatest brilliancy as it prepares for its historic dive into the Sun. And of course the Sun will itself be a suitable observing target for daytime sessions as it Centres planning their local A-Day may wish to consider the Transit of Venus as an appropriate theme for 2004. NASA has also chosen the transit to be the theme of their annual Sun-Earth Day , planned for March 19 with additional public activities planned for the day of the transit itself. Much more information on the transit including ideas for activities can be found at their site.
