On June 8th, 2004 Venus will pass the Sun's disc - an event which looks slightly different when observed from different locations on Earth. Koblenz, 8.22 UT Windhoek, 8.22 UT (by clicking on the above pictures you can see little related animations) The differences are smaller than the apparent radius of Venus and you can recognize them only by exact measurements or by combinating simultaneously taken pictures: Therefore, an international cooperation between schools, amateur astronomers and universities has prepared careful observations of the transit.

Astronomers, Amateur Skywatchers Find New Planet 15,000 Light Years Away May 23, 2005 An international collaboration featuring Ohio State University astronomers has detected a planet in a solar system that, at roughly 15,000 light years from Earth, is one of the most distant ever discovered. In a time when technology is starting to make such finds almost commonplace, this new planet which is roughly three times the size of Jupiter is special for several reasons, said Andrew Gould, professor of astronomy at Ohio State.

54. Transitsearch.org The purpose of transitsearch.org is to coordinate and direct a cooperative observational effort which will allow experienced amateur astronomers and small college observatories to discover transiting extrasolar planets. http://www.transitsearch.org/index.htm

news candidates candidates faq observing procedures ... contact transitsearch.org Over the past ten years, over 150 extrasolar planets have been discovered orbiting nearby solar-like stars, and the recent discoveries of transiting "hot Jupiter" type planets such as HD 209458 b, OGLE TR56-b, and TrES-1 have added an additional element of excitement to the quest for alien solar systems. Furthermore, the past several years have seen the introduction of highly affordable small telescopes equipped with sensitive CCD detectors. A large number of amateur astronomers and small colleges own observatories which, when properly configured, are capable of reliably detecting the periodic dimming that occurs when a close-in giant planet passes in front of its parent star as seen from Earth. This technique has been used by amateurs worldwide to detect the planetary transits of HD 209458 and TrES-1 Transitsearch.org is a cooperative observational effort designed to allow experienced amateur astronomers and small college observatories to discover transiting extrasolar planets. In order to utilize the advantages of a network of small telescopes most effectively, our strategy is to observe known planet-bearing stars at the dates and times when transits are expected to occur. At present, the majority of confirmed extrasolar planets have been discovered using the Doppler radial velocity technique (see

Project ASTRO is a national program creating partnerships between teachers and students in grades 4 - 9 with amateur and professional astronomers. The project was created in 1993 by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and funded by the National Science Foundation and NASA To date there are nine Project ASTRO National Expansion Sites , including Project ASTRO UTAH. Project ASTRO UTAH is co-sponsored by the Clark Foundation and Clark Planetarium . The project encourages collaboration among Utah universities, aerospace businesses, astronomy clubs, planetariums, and Utah schools. The Clark Foundation is deeply grateful to the members of the Project ASTRO UTAH Coalition for their generous commitment of resources and staff. Project ASTRO UTAH's goal is to enhance the core science curriculum for Utah sixth-grade students, the grade level in which students receive their first serious introduction to astronomy. In the 1998-99 school year, 29 teams of astronomers and teachers are participating in Project ASTRO UTAH in
