125. Exploring Our Universe: education kits on astronomy and the FUSE satellite are designed to help secondary school students develop an understanding of how what they learn in science and math classes relates to the world in which they live, and how it applies to modern science and technology. http://fuse.pha.jhu.edu/outreach/kit1/expl.html

A series of educational kits for students and teachers Produced by the FUSE Public Outreach and Education Program Exploring Our Universe: From the Classroom to Outer Space INTRODUCTION I. Spectroscopy: The Study Of Light II. ... The FUSE Satellite INTRODUCTION This series of Educational Kits, ``Exploring Our Universe: From The Classroom to Outer Space'' is being developed as an initiative of the FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer) Project's Public Outreach and Education Program. The purpose of these education kits is to help secondary school students develop an understanding of how what they learn in science and math classes relates to the world in which they live, and how it applies to modern science and technology. The first kit, ``Spectroscopy: The Study of Light'' , focuses on how astronomers study and use light to learn about the universe: its origin, its evolution, and its fate. This puts basic concepts about light and the electromagnetic spectrum into a practical and exciting context. The second kit, The FUSE Satellite: Observing form Space , focuses on the science and mathematics of the satellite itself, allowing students to learn by solving problems related to the operation of a real satellite. Both kits relate classroom activities to an on-going NASA mission and provide the opportunity to follow important, exciting events.

The SOPHIA PROJECT News Links The goal of the Sophia Project is to advance the scholarly study of astrology and cultural astronomy in British institutions of higher education. We seek to make it possible to study any aspect, past or present, of the heavens’ human significance – whether social, intellectual, cultural, religious or psychological – and to do so in accordance with the best academic standards. Funds for this purpose are administered by the Sophia Trust, which is advised by a steering committee comprised of trustees and elected representatives from the astrological community. Latest News ‘SEEING WITH DIFFERENT EYES’ http://www.kent.ac.uk/secl/Div_conf/ A CONFERENCE ON COSMOLOGY AND DIVINATION University of Kent, Canterbury April 28th-30th, 2006 Papers on any aspect of these questions (30 mins) are invited from both researchers and practitioners in fields including (but not limited to) anthropology, astrology, classics, divination, philosophy, psychology, religious studies and theology.

132. Research Experience In Physics & Astronomy For Undergraduates (REU) Research areas in this 10week program for undergraduates include astronomy and astrophysics, biological physics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, nuclear physics, plasma and laser physics, quantum optics, and physics education. http://www.pas.rochester.edu:80/mainFrame/education/special/specialREU.html

Directors: Priscilla S. Auchincloss and Arie Bodek The Physics and Astronomy Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program is funded by the National Science Foundation to support ten to twelve highly-qualified students to undertake supervised research projects in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, for a period of 10 weeks each summer. Departmental faculty conduct research in diverse experimental and theoretical areas, including Biological Physics Condensed Matter Physics High Energy Physics Nuclear Physics ... Quantum Optics , and Physics Education. Each summer, the Department's research effort involves approximately 20 undergraduate students, in addition to approximately 120 graduate students, 35 postdoctoral research associates, and 30 regular faculty members. Much of the research performed by past undergraduate research assistants has been published in scientific journals. Many students have also presented their work at national conferences and undergraduate research symposia at the University of Rochester. Program : Over the 10-week summer research period, participants attend a series of informal seminars covering research topics as well as others, such as preparing for graduate school. These seminars are intended to foster discussion among REU students and faculty, and to serve as a basis for further social and scientific interaction. Students whose projects are primarily experimental are encouraged to attend mini-courses in electronics and in machine shop techniques. The core research experience takes place in the context of research groups working at the University's research facilities. Students present their work at an informal symposium at the end of the summer. They are encouraged to work with their research advisers toward completion of publications, submission of abstracts, and presentations of their work at professional and student conferences.

The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) is a "research institute" of the Smithsonian Institution headquartered in Cambridge, MA, where it is joined with the Harvard College Observatory (HCO) to form the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). More than 300 scientists at the CfA are engaged in a broad program of research in astronomy, astrophysics, earth and space sciences, and science education. Because many of these research activities share Harvard and Smithsonian staff and resources, several of the "SAO" links at this website will take you to information posted on joint "CfA" pages.

Astronomy Stuff I got my first telescope in the summer of '97. It is a used Celestron 8" SCT. I have been very happy with it while I was using it in Arizona. I belonged to the Saguaro Astronomy Club in Phoenix and found many experienced observers there. I love the clear skies of Arizona. I recently moved to New Jersey and have not yet hooked up with a club here. I am in the Cherry Hill area. If you know a good local club or just some nearby dark skies, drop me a line and let me know.
