BILKENT UNIVERSITY ASTRONOMY hours left: The Venus transit of 2004 (last one 112 years ago, next one 113 years later!) on June 8, during approximately 8:15 to 14:20. See the relevant ESO page for details. Mars at its closest approach Our Hale-Bopp Comet Photographs Mars Pathfinder spacecraft lands on Mars Some photographs from NASA Watch the Iridium Flares! The fleet of low-flying Iridium satellites placed in orbit for personal communications result in a spectacular "flare" of light in the sky which usually outshines all other sky objects visible at that time. The reflection of sunlight from these satellites traces a path on Earth, a prediction for which is available from The German Space Operations Centre (GSOC). The flare is visible for a few seconds only, so you will need to look into the given area of the sky without interruption as the predicted time approaches - an accurately set watch is a big help. You can obtain the predicted times of the flares for your area by first entering your position on Earth on the Heavens-Above Gmbh Satellite Visibility page . Or you can directly go to the relevant page with Bilkent's coordinates (39.8679N, 32.7489E) through

Hands-on Astronomy Activities Using Starlab Planetarium Kendra Johncock Grade Level(s): 4-9 Participants will take part in activities selected from "The Universe at Your Fingertips" and "More Universe at Your Fingertips". Educators will gain an in-depth range of activities to meet State Science Standards relating to astronomy. They will learn how to determine their latitude by using the height of the North Star. Moon phase dials will illustrate the various moon phases and the rising and setting time for each phase. Using solar motion detectors we will simulate the reason for the seasons in the northern and southern latitudes. A hula-hoop model will demonstrate the path of the sun and moon during solar and lunar eclipses. Teachers will gain classroom activities to use with the starlab portable planetarium and help students make their own observations outside of the classroom. R ETURN T O ... OMEPAGE

Related Materials Understanding the Universe: An Introduction to Astronomy A related video course with The Teaching Company is called "Understanding the Universe: An Introduction to Astronomy" by Alex Filippenko. It consists of forty 45-minute lectures. The price is $499 plus shipping and handling, but sometimes they go on sale for much lower. The phone number for ordering is 1-800-TEACH-12, and their web page is http://www.teach12.com "More Universe at Your Fingertips," a new collection of hands-on astronomy activities and resource guides for teaching astronomy in grades 3 - 12, has just been published by the non-profit Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Edited by veteran astronomy educators Andrew Fraknoi and Dennis Schatz, the 356-page loose-leaf format book focuses on inquiry-based, classroom-tested activities that teachers (and those working with them) can put to immediate work in their classrooms. The publication was developed by Project ASTRO, a National-Science-Foundation funded program linking volunteer astronomers with classroom teachers to improve the teaching of science in our schools. The 27 activities (with detailed instructions) in the book cover such topics as: following the motion of the Moon, determining the reasons for the seasons, tracking and mapping the planets, searching for meteorites, discovering what killed the dinosaurs, measuring the Sun's rotation, finding stars that vary, fingerprinting cosmic light sources, sorting galaxies, and sending a message to possible alien civilizations. They were selected by a panel of mentor educators from among hundreds of astronomy and space-science activities published in the last few years. The resource guides include a topical index to hundreds of astronomy activities on the Web; a listing of books and articles about the exploration of the solar system; a skeptic's guide to astrology, UFO's, and other pseudo-sciences; and a reading list on astronomy and the environment.
