Space News Astronomers say they've found the 10th planet 2003 UB313 is bigger, more distant than Pluto, but sparks a debate NASA / JPL / Caltech An artist's conception shows 2003 UB313, the purported 10th planet. Astronomers say the frozen world is larger than Pluto. The sun is in the far background. By By Robert Roy Britt Senior science writer Astronomers have discovered an object in our solar system that is larger than Pluto. They are calling it the 10th planet, but already that claim is contested. The new world's size is not at issue. But the very definition of planethood is. It is the first time an object so big has been found in our solar system since the discovery of Pluto 75 years ago. The announcement, made Friday by Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology, came just hours after another celestial object slightly smaller than Pluto was revealed, on a very confusing day for astronomers and the media. The new object, temporarily named 2003 UB313, is about three times as far from the sun as is Pluto.

Kepler General Pages Home Maps Index Search Starry Messenger The Starry Messenger is Phase I of the Electronic History of Astronomy developed in the Whipple Museum of the History of Science and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. This phase was directed by Dr Sachiko Kusukawa and Dr Liba Taub, and supported by funding from Trinity College, Cambridge. Dr David Chart was the Project Manager. The aim of this project is to make available electronically some aspects of the early history of astronomy for the use of students studying the History and Philosophy of Science in the University. The project has aspired to be 'educational' in another sense in that graduate students in the Department have contributed to its construction. By drawing on the rich collection of instruments and books in the Whipple Collection, the University Library and the Wren Library, we have sought to produce a history of astronomy which focuses on the uses of astronomy and its instruments, as well as on the practitioners of astronomy. We hope that this project goes some way towards illustrating the variety of uses (astrology, weather prediction, calendar reform) and inspirations (e.g. poetry), people in past societies and cultures found in astronomy.

Psi Links to ANCIENT TIMES Stone Age Cave Paintings An exceptionally important archaeological discovery has recently been made in the Ardèche gorges(southern France), on the edge of a national reserve, in the form of a vast underground network of cavesdecorated with paintings and engravings dating from the Palaeolithic age. Archeoastronomy Richard Hoagland: "Under any other circumstances, the loss of such an important and productive mission would have beenmerely tragic. But considering the work that SOHO had been doing just prior to it's "malfunction," theramifications took on a new and ominous light."

Southeast Michigan Light Pollution Issues by Dave Snyder Updated: August 2001 Southeast Michigan Light Pollution Issues Lighting from buildings, streetlights and so on create light pollution which makes it difficult to view the night sky. This page discusses light pollution issues affecting Dexter Township (located in Southeast Michigan) and other communities in Southeast Michigan. More information about Light Pollution. Existing Light Pollution Ordinances Many communities have created ordinances to control lighting in response to increased public awareness of light pollution. Not only does this reduce light pollution, it reduces costs and is better for the environment. The following is a list of existing light pollution ordinances from communities in Southeast Michigan. Brighton Township Light Pollution Ordinance. Scio Township Light Pollution Ordinance. Livonia Light Pollution Ordinance. Proposed Light Pollution Ordinances Lake Hudson Dark Sky Preserve This part is repealed on June 10, 2003. So the Dark Sky Preserve will no longer be protected after 2003. There are two bills in the Michigan congress to extend the law. First, Senate Bill 430 was introduced April 26, 2001 by Senator Hammerstrom and referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs. If the bill passes, section 75106 would be amended to read:

RC Optical Systems designs and produces quality Ritchey-Chretien telescopes for the professional and amateur astronomer. Our innovative design incorporates state-of-the-art materials to assure a product with the utmost performance and quality. Our telescopes are the lightest and most thermally stable in their class, bar none! Correct composite construction allows for "focus and forget" utilization. RCOS Ritchey-Chretiens maintain precise focus all night, every night. These are just a few reasons why we continue to be the World's #1 manufacturer of Ritchey-Chretien Telescopes. RC Optical Systems selected the Ritchey-Chretien design for its wide coma free field of view. Designed principally as a photographic instrument by American George Ritchey and Frenchman Henri Chretien, the Ritchey-Chretien design is coma free. Coma is an aberration common in all reflecting telescope systems. The Ritchey-Chretien design utilizes a hyperbolic primary and secondary mirror, which correct for coma, which also results in a smaller spot size on and off axis. Examine this spot

Astronomer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. An astronomer or astrophysicist is a scientist whose area of research is astronomy or astrophysics Johannes Hevelius was famed for his work on sunspots , and being the first to study the surface of the moon Astronomy is generally thought to have begun in ancient Babylon by the Persian Zoroastrian priests (the magi ). Recent studies of Babylonian records have shown them to be extremely accurate for the ancient night sky. Following the Babylonians, the egyptians also had an emphasis on observations of the sky. Mixtures of religious interpretations of the sky, as mythic tales of the gods, led to a duality that we now identify as astrology . It is important to recognize that before about , there was no distinction between astronomy and astrology Unlike most scientists, astronomers cannot directly interact with the celestial bodies , and so instead must resort to detailed observation in order to make discoveries. Generally, astronomers use telescopes or other imaging equipment to make such observations. edit Famous astronomers Astronomer Contribution Hipparchus and Ptolemy Determined the positions of about 1,000 bright stars, tried to explain the puzzles of astronomy without refuting the commonly believed geocentric model of universe and classified stars by
