Extractions: October 11, 2002: Hour Two: New Solar System Object Program Summary Guests Related Links and Resources For Discussion ... SFKC Home Program Summary This week guest host Paul Raeburn sits in for Ira Flatow. What a find! Thanks to the powers of space telescopes and a carefully devised search strategy, scientists have discovered the biggest object in the solar system since Pluto was discovered 72 years ago. The object, dubbed 'Quaoar,' is roughly 1250 km in diameter about the size of Pluto's moon Charon. It's about 6 billion kilometers away from Earth. Quaoar is being classified as a Kuiper belt object, not a planet but it's still the largest object to be found in the solar system in decades. Caltech scientists say that Quaoar demonstrates beyond a doubt a theory that held that large bodies exist in the farthest reaches of the solar system. The hope is that more large bodies will be found in the Kuiper belt that match or exceed the size of Pluto. And because these discoveries are comprised of primordial materials that formed the solar system some 5 billion years ago, scientists are pleased to uncover some of the history behind these previously undiscovered objects.

Harder - Astronomy, one of the oldest sciences, is the study of celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and other objects in space. Astronomers locate objects in the daytime or nighttime skies and measure their magnitudes and motions, searching to find what they are made of and how they create their light.

Astronomy Links Still have a question? The links to external sites will display in another window . Then go to About.com s Space Astronomy for kids web site. http://www.astronomynotes.com/astrlink.htm
Extractions: The links to external sites will display in another window. Another place to get your questions answered is using the usenet news groups sci.astro (for general astronomy questions), sci.astro.amateur (discussion on building your own telescope, buying a telescope, doing your own observing, astronomy clubs, etc.), and sci.astro.research (moderated group about current research topics - note that is really for the professional astronomer). Before you try out those news groups, see if your question has been answered in the ``Frequently Asked Questions'' list known as the sci.astro FAQ list or the sci.space FAQ list (you may want to try the sci.astro FAQ list first). If you do post a message to one of the news groups, be sure to include your email address in your message so people can reply back to you (especially if you don't read that news group that often!). Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy web site is ``devoted to airing out myths and misconceptions in astronomy and related topics''. He separates the fact from all of the fiction and junk science on many television shows and movies. He does reference my Astronomy Notes material (but, why of course!).
