121. IfA -- Comet Hale-Bopp
Includes news and images obtained by University of Hawaii astronomers.
http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/images/hale-bopp/hale-bopp.html
Comet Hale-Bopp
at the UH Institute for Astronomy
C omet Hale-Bopp is now moving away from the inner Solar System. As it receives less energy from the Sun, the cometary activity is slowing down, the tail is disappearing and the comet will rapidly become too faint to be observed with small telescope. While this marks the end of Hale-Bopp's public performance, it is not the end of the story: we plan to continue observing it as long as possible. The decrease and cessation of a comet's activity give very interesting information on its composition and history, so we are trying to observe comets as far as possible from the Sun. A typical comet nucleus has a diameter of 1 to 10 km, and is extremely dark, so that task is far from easy and requires big telescopes and very long exposures; in the case of Comet Hale-Bopp, we hope a to have an easier task, as we know that the nucleus is very bright. For more information, check out Karen Meech's Distant Comet Reseach page , and for an example of tricky observation, have a look at the faintest Solar System object ever observed: Comet Halley at the distance of Uranus , which is also the last image of that comet.

123. Famous Physicists And Astronomers Michael Faraday
Short biography explains the importance of Faraday's work.
http://www.phy.hr/~dpaar/fizicari/xfaraday.html
Michael Faraday
The English chemist and physicist Michael Faraday, b. Sept. 22, 1791, d. Aug. 25, 1867, is known for his pioneering experiments in electricity and magnetism. Many consider him the greatest experimentalist who ever lived. Several concepts that he derived directly from experiments, such as lines of magnetic force, have become common ideas in modern physics. Faraday was born at Newington, Surrey, near London. He received little more than a primary education, and at the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a bookbinder. There he became interested in the physical and chemical works of the time. After hearing a lecture by the famous chemist Humphry Davy, he sent Davy the notes he had made of his lectures. As a result Faraday was appointed, at the age of 21, assistant to Davy in the laboratory of the Royal Institution in London. During the initial years of his scientific work, Faraday occupied himself mainly with chemical problems. He discovered two new chlorides of carbon and succeeded in liquefying chlorine and other gases. He isolated benzene in 1825, the year in which he was appointed director of the laboratory. Davy, who had the greatest influence on Faraday's thinking, had shown in 1807 that the metals sodium and potassium can be precipitated from their compounds by an electric current, a process known as electrolysis. Faraday's vigorous pursuit of these experiments led in 1834 to what became known as Faraday's laws of electrolysis.

128. Washington Area Astronomers Meetings Home Page
small numbers of astronomers on their staff (eg, DTM, NASA HQ, Catholic U., etc.) Although the meetings developed a dedicated following of astronomers,

See http://ad.usno.navy.mil/astro_events_dc/ for links to local professional astronomy colloquia and meetings.
2001 Nov 13 Dear Colleagues: I have received a number of recent e-mails inquiring about the next Washington Area Astronomers Meeting. I regret to report that the 21-year series of Washington Area Astronomers Meetings has come to an end. This series of professional meetings, held on at least a yearly basis, provided the many astronomers and astrophysicists in the Washington-Baltimore area with an opportunity to hear and discuss recent research results that spanned specialty and wavelength boundaries. The meetings were organized by an Executive Committee with representatives from the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, Goddard Space Flight Center, Naval Research Lab, U.S. Naval Observatory, Space Telescope Science Institute, Applied Physics Lab, George Mason University, and Universities Space Research Association. The committee also had a member representing the many other institutions in the area with small numbers of astronomers on their staff (e.g., DTM, NASA HQ, Catholic U., etc.) Although the meetings developed a dedicated following of astronomers, attendance in recent years has been consistently below previous attendance figures and our expectations. In recent years, the Executive Committee tried various meeting format changes, without much success. In May, the committee reluctantly decided to bring the series of meetings to an end. The committee also decided at its final meeting that the remaining funds in the committee's bank account should go to furthering the progress of astronomy in developing countries. Part of the funds went to Don Wentzel, who is the IAU Chair for Teaching for Astronomy Development, for the purchase of a small telescope for variable star observations at the University of Zambia. The remainder went to the AAS fund for support of astronomy in developing countries, which is used when specific opportunities for such support arise.

Astronomers discover that moon has long, comet-like tail
June 7, 1999

Web posted at: 4:56 p.m. EDT (2056 GMT)
Model of enhanced atmosphere due to Leonid meteor shower. Reload browser to repeat animation. (CNN) Boston University astronomers on Monday announced the discovery of a new feature of the Earth's moon a sodium-gas "tail" that stretches at least a half-million miles. The observation was made by chance in November when a Boston University team pointed a sensitive camera in the opposite direction from the moon, attempting to photograph the Leonid meteor storm. Instead, they recorded a patch of sodium emission in an otherwise moonless sky. "It grew to be larger and brighter on November 19, and then faded slightly on November 20," said Steven Smith, a research associate in the university's center for space physics. The team considered several theories that could explain the unusual feature, ruling out a comet, the impact of Leonid meteors upon dust in the solar system, and even possible instrumentation problems.

Welcome to the Very Long Baseline Array!
The VLBA is a system of ten radio-telescope antennas,each with a dish 25 meters (82 feet) in diameter and weighing 240 tons. From Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii to St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the VLBA spans more than 5,000 miles, providing astronomers with the sharpest vision of any telescope on Earth or in space. Dedicated in 1993, the VLBA has an ability to see fine detail equivalent to being able to stand in New York and read a newspaper in Los Angeles. An overview of the VLBA briefly describes its equipment and design. Read about the fundamentals of radio astronomy.
