Extractions: Contact JAC by Douglas Pierce-Price, JAC What do you think astronomers look at? Many people imagine astronomers peering through the lens of an eyepiece at the stars, of which there are 100 billion in our galaxy alone. However, large modern telescopes don't have eyepieces, and instead display their images on computer screens. And what's even stranger is that some of these telescopes aren't used to look at stars at all! By looking at the stuff between the stars, telescopes right here on the Big Island are answering questions about other worlds, the earliest galaxies, and the origins of the stars themselves. The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) on Mauna Kea is designed to detect "submillimeter radiation". This is light that is invisible to human eyes, with wavelengths of about a millimeter or less (from 1/25" to 1/100"). The JCMT is the largest single-dish submillimeter wave telescope in the world. Astronomers study objects so far away that their light has taken thousands or millions of years, or more, to reach us. This means that we are seeing these distant objects as they were thousands or millions of years ago, when the light first set out on its long journey.

http://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1955/JASA3-55Hartzler.html

Extractions: From: JASA 7 (March I n the February 1955 issue of "Sky and Telescope" Otto Struve of the Leuschner Observatory, University of California has an interesting article on this subject. Dr. Struve refers to several sources which should be investigated by any one seriously interested in this subject. First one should mention the famous book by Sir Harold Spencer Jones entitled "Life on Other Worlds". This book published in 1940 presents most of the evidence. available at that time on this subject. In the preface he quotes from Bernard de Foritenelle, "La Pluralite des Mondes" with reference to those who think that this subject will prove dangerous to religion, "I know how excessively tender some are in religious matters, and therefore I am very unwilling to give any offense in what I publish to people, whose opinion is contrary to what I maintain. But religion can receive no prejudice by my system, which fills our infinity of worlds with inhabitants, if a little error of the imagination be but rectified ... And to think there may be more worlds than one, is neither against reason or scripture. If God glorified himself in making one world, the more worlds he made, the greater must be his glory." The second reference is Gerard P. Kuiper, "The Atmospheres of the Earth and Planets". This is a symposium volume edited by Dr. Kuiper. The chapter of most direct concern to us is that by Kniper on "Planetary Atmospheres and Their Origin". Another reference which should be mentioned and which should be read by every member of the American Scientific Affiliation is that by George Wald entitled "The Origin of Life" which appeared in the August 1954 issue of Scientific America. The following quotation is quite interesting

http://lullianarts.net/worlds.html

Extractions: Article 83, on Astronomy, in the 100 Forms of Ars Brevis by Blessed Raymond Lull : Astronomy is an art with which astrologers can know the virtues and movements that heaven effectively rules in things below, and the topic of this art is heaven, signified by the letter D. And if there is any doubt or question regarding heaven the question can be answered by referring to the third subject, or heaven, in accordance with the explanations given. And this must be done without altering the things said there about heaven. However, I say that it is possible for another heaven to exist, because God's power is infinite. And if there were such a thing, distance and closeness would remain disposed in the state of potentiality, without any actual existence outside the said heavens, as they would have no subject or locus because there would be nothing but void between the said heavens. And at this point, the intellect wonders: if the Sun is not hot in itself, for what reason does it heat the air? But then it considers that the Sun causes heat through its presence, as it causes darkness by its absence, so that day and night can exist. Article 83 of the 100 forms of Ars Brevis: Questions about astronomy What is astronomy? Is astronomy dependent on geometry? Is there any other eighth sphere, any other universe, or some other starry sky? As the Sun is not hot, how does it heat air? Many more questions can be put regarding astronomy and their solutions are implicit in the third subject, which is heaven. For instance, supposing there is another eighth sphere, would the distance, or closeness between the two exist in potentiality, or in actuality?

Available from Amazon.com Available from Amazon.co.uk Other Worlds: The Search for Life in the Universe - Michael D. Lemonick The first planet around a sunlike star was finally detected in 1995, after decades of false alarms. It was inevitable that within a couple of years a flood of books on extrasolar planets would gush forth. Michael Lemonick is the senior science writer at Time magazine, and his account is the most readable and vivid yet. He has a fluid, anecdotal style, with a good ear for the sort of simile that really speaks to the average reader, as when he describes hooking up a radio telescope being like "setting up a new computer yourself. Sometimes it just plain doesn't work, and you can't for the life of you figure out why." ..... Available from Amazon.com

They are the favorite targets of amateur astronomers, with such rich variety and detail that they never cease to fascinate. This book provides new and experienced observers with a fresh perspective on the Messier objects. There are new drawings, improved finder charts, and new astronomical data on each object, including findings from the Hubble Space Telescope.

http://btc.montana.edu/ceres/html/EdActivities.html

Extractions: A team of master teachers, university faculty, and NASA researchers have created a series of web-based astronomy and astrobiology lessons for the CERES Project. These classroom-ready activities for K-12 students represent a robust combination of contemporary teaching/learning strategies from the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996), exciting and current NASA science data, and Internet pointers to an endless supply of accurate and timely resources. Students explore NASA data to construct first-hand knowledge about the astronomical universe. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are tied explicitly to the NRC National Science Education Standards astronomy objectives. They can be used as an introduction to astronomy topics, as an intermediate activity, or as an extension activity that requires active participation by students. Students explore interdisciplinary science topics within the context of astrobiology to construct first-hand knowledge about the origin, distribution, and future of life on Earth and beyond. These internet-based lessons require 1 to 4 class hours and are closely tied to the NRC National Science Education Standards and the Principles and Standards for Mathematics. These lessons can be used as stand alone activities or as supplemental materials for standard math and science courses. Many of these activities are suitable for both middle and high school students, even though they may be cited as being appropriate for one group or another.
