Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2003 February 15 Happy Birthday Jules Verne Credit: NASA Explanation: One hundred seventy-five years ago (on February 8th), Jules Verne was born in Nantes, France. Inspired by a lifelong fascination with machines, Verne wrote visionary works about "Extraordinary Voyages" including such terrestrial travels as Around the World in 80 Days Journey to the Centre of the Earth , and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea . In 1865 he published the story of three adventurers who undertook a journey From the Earth to the Moon . Verne's characters rode a "projectile-vehicle" fired from a huge cannon constructed in Florida, USA. Does that sound vaguely familiar ? A century later, the Saturn V rocket and NASA's Apollo program finally turned this work of fiction into fact, propelling adventuresome trios on what was perhaps Verne's most extraordinary voyage. This dramatic view shows the moonbound Apollo 11 space-vehicle riding top a Saturn V rocket as it blasts skyward. Launched from

Facebook placeAd('article',commercialNode,24,'',false) Translated from the French by Stanford L. Luce Wesleyan Univ. 261 pp. $29.95 Jules Verne is, after Agatha Christie, the most popular writer in the world. Neither until recently has ever gotten much respect from the academic or critical establishment. What they share, along with some warm-hued period coziness, is a gift for absolute storytelling, for making a reader want to keep turning page after page to see what happens next. Christie does this through her mastery of plotting not only eventually revealing "who done it" but, better yet, how it was done. Verne's strength can be elicited from the overall title he gave his works, "Voyages Extraordinaires." To begin to understand his narrative magic, simply call to mind any of the best known Verne titles, of more than 60:

44. The New Atlantis - Jules Verne: Father Of Science Fiction? - John Derbyshire One of the young jules verne’s own favorite books was The Swiss Family Robinson, a children’s classic from the early nineteenth century, http://www.thenewatlantis.com/archive/12/derbyshire.htm

Jules Verne: Father of Science Fiction? John Derbyshire The Mysterious Island 2002 ~ 728 pp. $24.95 (paper) The Begum’s Millions 2005 ~ 308 pp. $29.95 (cloth) The Mighty Orinoco 2003 ~ 448 pp. $29.95 (cloth) $19.95 (paper) Invasion of the Sea 2001 ~ 288 pp. $27.95 (cloth) ules Verne (1828-1905) is conventionally regarded as the father of science fiction. Some literary historians may dispute this, asserting that sci-fi goes all the way back to the early moderns or even the ancients (via, of course, Bacon’s “New Atlantis”...), with the boldest spirits even claiming Homer’s Odysseyy for the genre. That seems to me a stretch. Since science, as we now understand the term, did not really begin until the seventeenth century, surely science fiction cannot have existed any earlier. Reserving the right to offer some qualifications of my own, “father of science fiction” will do very well as a starting point for discussing Verne and his works. Between 1863 and 1905, this very bourgeois French gentleman—Verne was the son of a lawyer, and his only paid employment outside literature was a brief spell as a stockbroker—wrote 65 books grouped by bibliographers under the heading Les Voyages Extraordinaires . These were works of fiction whose plots either hinged on some extrapolation, or untried application, of the science of Verne’s time, or at a minimum used some unresolved scientific issue (and here you have to include geography among the sciences) as a “hook” on which to hang an adventure story.

The African-American Experience in Ohio On Febuary 8 , 1915, D.W. Griffith's controversial silent film, The Birth of a Nation , premiered in Los Angeles, California. Released under the title, The Clansman , the movie debuted only after Griffith sought an injunction from the court. Although local censors approved the film, city council members responded to concerns about the racist nature of the picture by ordering it suppressed.

Prints and Photographs Division Griffith's story centers on two white families torn apart by the Civil War and reunited by what one subtitle calls, "common defence of their Aryan birthright." Promoting a skewed historical vision of a wartorn South further abused by carpetbaggers, scalawags, and radical Republicans, the film remakes Lincoln as a friend of the South. "I shall deal with them as though they had never been away," Griffith's Lincoln says. In The Birth of a Nation , the Ku Klux Klan rushes in to fill the void left by Lincoln's untimely death and the chaos of Reconstruction.

49. Jules Verne's Nautilus Gives details about the Nautilus from 20000 Leagues under the Sea as jules verne described it. http://home.att.net/~karen.crisafulli/nautilus.html

Some Figures S ome details of the Nautilus as described by Verne are subject to interpretation and some may have been obscured in translation, but many are clearly stated. The largest portion of the information is found in the chapters titled "The Nautilus " (included in "The Man of the Seas" in incomplete translations), "All by Electricity", and "Some Figures". Additional information is scattered throughout the novel. Here's a summary of the details. T he Nautilus had a cylindrical hull 70 meters long and 8 meters wide. The double hull had tapered ends, as Nemo says to Aronnax, "like your cigar". (Nemo mentions the shape had already been adopted in London. This was the time of the "cigar ships".) The four bladed propeller was six meters in diameter with a pitch of 7.5 meters. When the Nautilus accidentally rammed the Scotia it produced a two-meter triangular hole. There was an ordinary rudder fixed to the stern and two diving planes fastened to the sides at the center of floatation. On the surface the Nautilus remained 90% underwater so its platform was 0.8 meter above the water. The platform had a structure of "medium height" with inclined sides, at each end. Forward was the wheelhouse with a 2-meter-square interior and four windows, nearly a foot thick, through which the pilot could see in all directions. Aft was the powerful light. A recession amidships held the longboat, described later as a rising enough above the deck to sit on. The platform also had a railing. Aronnax gives somewhat conflicting descriptions of the hull, first saying it is clearly metal, not looking like a living beast at all, but later describes the overlapping hull plates as resembling scales or a reptile's shell.

Explore the Collection: All Books The Smithsonian Institution Libraries are fortunate to have a few early editions of Verne's works with the original engraved illustrations which made his works so popular. Verne and his publisher Julius Hetzel paid acute attention to the details of these illustrations, so that they are almost an integral part of the story. Later reprints usually omitted these engravings, and since the original woodcuts and early printing plates are long gone, all that remains are these images from the early books. The following selection will give an idea of what was available one hundred years ago - illustrations which introduce the characters, provide panoramas which describe the locale of the adventure and the flora and fauna encountered, give maps where the reader may follow the heroes' adventures, or illustrate a particularly exciting or scientific moment. They are truly Voyages Extraordinaire Image from: Author: Jules Verne (1828-1905) Title/Imprint: Cinq semaines en ballon; voyage de d©couvertes en Afrique, par trois anglais

The 20-ton spacecraft is being loaded with Russian propellant destined for the International Space Station. The launch and maiden voyage of the first European resupply spaceship is scheduled for the second half of February, the ESA said. Through the end of the month, the largest quantity of propellant will be fueled on board approximately 4,885 pounds of monomethylhydrazine and mixed nitrogen oxides to be used by the ATV's propulsion system. "The monthlong fueling campaign is a result of having to load four different propellants, some in large quantities, and also some oxygen," said Nicolas Chamussy, the ATV program manager. "Since each propellant is complex and dangerous to handle, the preparatory operations the safety rules and the decontamination takes much more time than the actual pressurized transfer of each product into the vehicle." By the time ATV is mated to its Ariane 5 launcher, it will hold four different types of propellant and 44 pounds of oxygen, giving it a total propellant mass of about 6.5 tons.

Humans have only glimpsed the sea life fathoms below, but this peek has stirred the imaginations of storytellers yearning to spin their yarns of mythical creatures emerging from the depths. Author Jules Verne From the ancient Greeks to modern-day writers, people have described giant squid and octopi as "sea monsters" whose masses of arms were able to pull ships underwater. Jules Verne promoted this image in 1861 with his book 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA. Verne creates a terrifying battle between a giant squid (called a cuttlefish in the story) and Captain Nemo's submarine. Walt Disney later brought this scene to the big screen in the live-action film of the book. In 1874, Newfoundland's Reverend Moses Harvey established the first known public giant squid exhibit. He displayed a specimen caught by a local fisherman to help dispel fears of these beasts from the deep; now seafarers could see what was swimming beneath them.
