http://my.voyager.net/~stargazer/personal.html

Extractions: MAIN PAGE 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 and I will add it. Please 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!

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) Starry Night Lights This weekends full moon is known as the Harvest Moon. The Harvest Moon is the moon closest to the autumn equinox. Look for the Moon in The Belt of Venus when it rises tonight. The Belt of Venus is the shadow cast by Earth onto its own atmosphere. It is typically a very beautiful site. Wednesday , September 14th, 2005 Aurora Watch Continues Amazingly active sunspot #798 continues to stir up the pot. This giant has sparked no fewer than 9 X-Class Solar Flares since September 7th including a tremendous X-17 event. The most recent event occurred yesterday and hurled a Coronal Mass Ejection directly towards Earth. The combination of elevated geomagnetic levels and the directness of the event have forecasters suggesting a 70% chance of severe geomagnetic activity with aurora visible much further south than is typical. If it is clear where you live tonight, you are strongly encouraged to head outside and check the northern horizon periodically. Of course, you can find the latest information

This is the single most important thing you should get out of this FAQ: DO NOT BUY YOUR TELESCOPE FROM A DEPARTMENT STORE. Ignore everything any literature tells you about magnification and such. Buy from a telescope store, where you will get a telescope that makes smaller claims, but will give you FAR better performance.

Gibraltar Astronomical Society - Site Updated: 22/04/02 22:53:16
News items of interest to amateur astronomers, and a guide to the night sky.
http://www.astronomy.gi/

Extractions: All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist. The questions are clear, and deceptively simple. But the answers have always seemed well beyond our reach. Until now. The ideas which had grown over two thousand years of observation have had to be radically revised. In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the centre of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is just one of billions of galaxies, in a universe that is infinite and expanding. But this is far from the end of a long history of inquiry. Huge questions remain to be answered, before we can hope to have a complete picture of the universe we live in.
