Bad Movies : No one spreads Bad Astronomy more loudly or with more gusto than good old Hollywood. Here you'll find reviews of popular movies (and maybe some not so popular) and gauge their astronomy quality. Bad TV : Television makes up in quantity where it trails movies in quality. From the Home Shopping Club shamelessly lying about telescopes they sell to the VH-! program ``Pop-Up Video'', Bad Astronomy is all over the boob tube. Bad News : Local news, national news, documentaries, radio, and newspapers have all contributed to the problem at some point or another. Popular misconceptions : Why is the sky blue?

The School Contacts Staff List Directions ... Transit of Venus On 8th June 2004 a transit of Venus will be observed from Earth when Venus comes directly between the Sun and our planet and it will be seen to move across the bright solar disk. No-one currently living on the planet has ever witnessed this spectacle as it last happened in 1882. Scientists at the School of Physics and Astronomy will be recording the transit and we hope to show still shots from that recording on this page from the 8th June. To watch a live webcast of the event, visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/space/ or tune in to the programme on BBC2 featuring Dr Paul Roche and Dr Lucie Green from Cardiff University who will be reporting live from Egypt and the Royal Greenwich Observatory. The transit will start at around 6.19am British Summer Time and end around 12.23pm. If you want to get prepared, don't miss the FREE morning session by Dr Lucie Green to be given at the Centre for Lifelong Learning on Saturday 6th June, from 10.30-12.30. No booking is required.

If the astronomy term you are looking for is not in the dictionary, please e-mail us A ABERRATION OF LIGHT The aberration of light is a phenomenon in which light appears to be slanted (the angle at which the light appears to be coming is different than the angle at which it's actually coming) if the observer is in motion. (An analogous situation is watching rain fall from a moving train - although a raindrop is falling straight to the ground, it will appear to fall at a slant, and the slant increases as the train's speed increases.) The aberration of light is due to the fact that light travels at a finite speed (as do the raindrops). The aberration of light was discovered and demonstrated by James Bradley (an English amateur astronomer) in 1725. The discovery of the aberration of light was one of the first proofs that the speed of light was finite; it also provided an early estimate of the speed of light (Bradley calculated that the time it took for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth was 8 minutes and 12 seconds). ABLATION Ablation is a cooling process in which heat is carried away from an object (like a falling

Search Space / Astronomy From Nick Greene Your Guide to Space / Astronomy Apollo 1 Fire - Early Blow to the Space Race It was January 27, 1967 and the crew of Apollo/Saturn 204 (more commonly known as Apollo 1 mission) were training for the first crewed Apollo flight, an Earth orbiting mission scheduled to be launched on 21 February. They were involved in a "plugs-out" test, with the Command Module mounted on the Saturn 1B on the launch pad just as in the actual launch, but the rocket was not fueled. This test was a simulation, going through an entire countdown sequence. At 6:31 PM, a voice (later believed to be Roger Chaffee) exclaimed, “Fire, I smell fire.” Two seconds later, Ed White voice came over the circuit, “Fire in the cockpit.” The final voice transmission from crew was very garbled. “They’re fighting a bad fire—let’s get out. Open ‘er up” or, “We’ve got a bad fire—let’s get out. We’re burning up” or, “I’m reporting a bad fire. I’m getting out.” The transmission ended with cry of pain, perhaps from pilot. Read more about the Apollo 1 fire.
