Universities Space Research Association (USRA), teamed with Raytheon E systems and United Airlines, was selected by NASA to develop and operate SOFIA. The 2.5 meter telescope will be designed and built by a consortium of German companies lead by MAN-GHH. Work on the aircraft and the primary mirror has started. First science flights will begin in 2001, and the observatory is expected to operate for over 20 years. The specifications, instruments and science potential of SOFIA are discussed. Introduction The Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) is NASA's and DLR's premier observatory for infrared and submillimeter astronomy into the next century. A Boeing 747-SP aircraft will carry a 2.5-meter telescope designed to make sensitive infrared measurements of a wide range of astronomical objects. It will fly at and above 12.5 km, where the telescope collects radiation in the wavelength range from 0.3 micrometers to 1.6 millimeters region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Using data taken by the University of Arizona’s Spacewatch program, a team from the Minor Planet Center at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass., determined that Jupiter has 17 satellites, one more than previously thought. After poring over data with a new software program, the Smithsonian team first thought the object might be a comet. However, upon further examination, the researchers noted that its trajectory put it right around our solar system’s biggest planet. This is the first Jovian moon discovered since 1979, when the Voyager spacecraft orbited Jupiter and spied three new satellites. Carbon dioxide and animal behavior. Mary Beth Voltura, a Smithsonian fellow, hopes to utilize the resources and staff of a couple of Smithsonian research centers to find out if elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere impair reproduction of certain animals through induced protein deficiency. Working closely with Olav Oftedal, a nutritionist at the National Zoological Park, and Bert Drake, a plant physiologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Voltura is investigating how the foraging behavior and reproductive performance of the common vole, Microtus pennsylvanicus , can serve as an early indicator of nutrient shortages for animals that graze on plants.

    Extractions: UCSC is one of the world's leading centers for both observational and theoretical research in astronomy and astrophysics. The department includes twenty-two faculty members, whose research interests range from the Solar System and the Milky Way to the most distant galaxies in the Universe and the most fundamental questions of cosmology. There are typically over a dozen postdoctoral researchers in residence, as well as a dedicated and skilled technical staff and a steady stream of visiting scientists. The UCSC department was recently ranked first in the country in research impact, based on citation studies. UCSC is also a leader in astrophysics education. The department currently enrolls about twenty-five students working towards the Ph.D. degree. Graduate students benefit from the low student-faculty ratio in the department and extensive research opportunities, as well as course offerings that cover both theoretical and observational aspects of astronomy. UCSC alumni hold positions at leading universities and research institutes around the world. The department offers an undergraduate minor in Astrophysics, and collaborates with the Physics department to offer an undergraduate major in Astrophysics.

    Extractions: haltonn@starbulletin.com Three University of Hawaii research units have outstanding faculty and programs that could have greater economic payoffs with increased administration support and resources, review committees have reported. The Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, the Institute for Astronomy and the Pacific Biomedical Research Center were visited by separate committees, each with three scientists from prominent mainland institutions. "In the past, these reviews would just get put on the shelf and reported to the Board of Regents, saying HIGP, for example, was reviewed this year," said Edward A. Laws, interim vice chancellor for research and graduate studies at the University of Hawaii. This time, he said, he and interim Chancellor Deane Neubauer met with HIGP Director Klaus Keil and Institute for Astronomy Director Rolf-Peter Kudritzki and "agreed the follow-up to those reviews has got to involve more than just telling the Board of Regents the programs were reviewed." He said the biomedical research center is in a different situation because of a potential move into the new John A. Burns School of Medicine planned at Kakaako.

    Extractions: The Lowell Observatory Public Astronomical Research Center (LOPARC) is an Internet observatory that allows users to access a research-grade telescope, an online digital archive of astronomical images, and server-side software that many professional astronomers use in their research. Online activities are available at a variety of conceptual levels, allowing anyone from primary school students to adults to use the facility with appropriate content. Two versions of the user interface allow clients to be deployed for general home or private-venue access, as well as in a more restricted point-and-click mode in public venues such as museums and public libraries. The facility is currently open in its initial public release at Lowell Observatory's campus in Flagstaff, Arizona, and is slated for full Internet availability by September, 2003. Introduction Conclusion The Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, is a 108-year old, private, non-profit institution dedicated to astronomical research and education. The 22 astronomers on our science staff are leaders in their areas of specialization, while our education and outreach program brings some 70,000 visitors each year to our campus. Our 6,500 square-foot Steele Visitor Center is open 360 days per year, and has a large exhibit hall and auditorium that serves as the focal point of our programs. On our campus are two telescopes dedicated to public education: the historic 24" Alvan Clark refractor, used by Percival Lowell a century ago to map features on the surface of Mars, and the 16" reflecting telescope of the John Vickers McAllister Public Observatory, installed in 1996 about 100 feet south of the Clark telescope dome.
