This is why I give them a link. However, I do not like that they give you quizes before you have a chance to learn about anything with them. Also, I don't agree with learning "facts" without exploring why you might choose to believe them. They have cartoons, if you like that. But I think their lab rat should talk with someone at OSHA! They offer movies on a wide variety of science topics. You can also ask them questions. Boundless Universe History of the Universe A quick run-through.

67. Jan Wisniewski's Astronomy Projects lot about the numerous astronomy construction projects that he has worked on us at the Centre know Jan best for his astronomy construction projects. http://victoria.rasc.ca/articles/1998/art9806.html

Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Jan Wisniewski's Astronomy Projects Victoria Centre is part of the national Royal Astronomical Society of Canada , which is dedicated to bringing information about astronomy to the general public. Advanced Search Jan Wisniewski's Astronomy Projects Roll-off Roof Observatory Observatory with the Roof Off Celestron Ultima 8 with CCD Cameras Short Focal Ratio 6" f/4 Dobsonian This article started off being about Jan's new observatory in Sooke, but I thought it would be interesting to also find out more about how Jan came to exploring what most of us have considered a passion. In the process I found out a lot about the numerous astronomy construction projects that he has worked on since he moved to Victoria. Jan's experiences with astronomy started in the early 70's when he was just in the 8th grade in Poland. He remembers observing Nova Cygni 1975 in August of 1975 and not really understanding what he had seen until days later. As Jan recalls information about astronomy was scarce and often published much later than we would expect in this area of the world. Throughout his high school years he explored the sky with binoculars and sometimes with just the naked eye. A 4" Maksutov was also available at the school. During the subsequent years at university his interest lay dormant until Jan emigrated to the United States and then to Canada. While in the United States he purchased a Celestron Ultima 8 f/10 Schmidt Cassegrain which he continues to use today. Once in Canada Jan joined the London Centre of the RASC.

Ken Tapping, September 2004 ken.tapping@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca Figure 1: Each vertical spike in the figure is a radio echo from a meteor trail. These echoes, recorded in Penticton British Columbia, are of signals from one or more FM Broadcasting Stations on 102.3 MHz, observed on 26th August, 2004, between 1500 and 1600 UT, which is equivalent to 7:00-8:00 am Local Time (Pacific Standard Time). The record above shows bursts of radio signals reflected from the ionization in meteor trails. The signals come from some FM radio broadcasting stations transmitting at 102.3 MHz, which are too distant to be received by other means. This technique provides a very easy and useful way to count meteors, and has the tremendous advantages of being automatic, and of being unaffected by daylight or cloud.

SA Weather Service Mapping the best sites in SA cyberspace - goSouthAfrica Find your way on our interactive macro-to-micro South Africa map SA bids for Square Kilometre Array 2 September 2005 South Africa has embarked on an ambitious bid to host what will be one of the biggest scientific instruments in the world, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) - a future generation international radio telescope that will enable astronomers to probe the early evolution of our galaxy. If South Africa were to win the bid, it would bring a massive injection of expertise and economic activity to the Northern Cape, with benefits for the local aluminium, computer, communications, electronics, and steel industries. South Africa faces competition from Australia, China and the US to host the SKA. A final decision is expected in 2006, while construction on the SKA will probably start in about 2013 and be completed by 2019. Construction of 'mini-SKA' under way In the meantime, South Africa has begun contruction on a new Pathfinder Telescope in the Karoo, with technology that will parallel that of the SKA.

71. Astronomy My astronomy projects Other Works in Progress I always keep too many projects going. I have mirrors to build a 4 , a 6 and an 8 scopes. http://www.esper.com/jcampb/html/body_astronomy.html

My Astronomy Projects Jason With My Scope This is my son, Jason, standing behind my 10" F5.6 scope. Not very good looking (the scope), but it's been a lot of fun to build and use. The finder is a modified " Daisy Electronic Site " from Wal-Mart. The modifications I made to it were to add a circuit to dim and pulse the LED in it. I used a LM3909 IC as the pulser. The second modification was to add a tube over the length of the finder to help site through. Worked great, but I have since replaced it with a Telrad Dust Cover Pictured Left is my dust cover/aperture reducer. The cover is shown in the open position. By rotating the front disc, I can close the opening completely to seal the tube or adjust the opening when viewing the moon or planets. This greatly improves the contract of the objects. Want to know where the International Space Station is? The Hubble Space Telescope Where is it NOW Me Demonstration my mirror machine Other Works in Progress: I always keep too many projects going. I have mirrors to build a 4", a 6" and an 8" scopes. I've started building the CCD cookbook camera. I have a heavy duty (90 pound capacity) pan/tilt unit made for a cctv camera and housing that I plan on using as a motorized scope mount. I also have in mind a solar cam with a live feed to the internet. Keep watching for new pictures. Laser Colimator Another project of mine is this laser collimator to align the optics in a telescope. Makes a great cat toy too. You should see my cats chase the beam. I turned the housing out of solid aluminum and center bored a 5/8" hole to mount the laser diode. There are 6 set screws used to center the diode in the assembly. The battery that powers the diode is a CR2450 3 volt lithium cell.. The switch on top of the laser is a little big, but you've got to use what you've got at 12 at night. I've never seen a 24 hour Radio Shack!

Yes Student initiated? Yes Background Benefits Student access The equipment will be available to all undergraduates and graduate students attending the University of Washington. In order to keep the equiptment in working order students will need to be trained and checked out on how to use the it. After a student has been checked out the equiptment will be available by signing up for particular times. Available resources Computer and Software: In order to use the telescope for taking and analyzing data, we need a computer that can be devoted to use for our projects. The Astronomy department has many computational resources for students already, but none are available for the kind of use we will need, the most effective way to make use of our telescope will be to have a computer connected directly to the CCD to download the data that is capable of doing all the analysis. We already have the software necessary to run the CCD camera, but we need additional software to opperate the spectograph. Accesories: Color filters and a Spectograph are important for making the telescope the most effective, and to give students all the necessary equipment to study. A solar filter for the other telescopes will make it possible to show students sun spots, and possible do things like measure the rotation of the sun, show and study prominences and other solar phenomenon, and have datetime public viewing sessions.

Linux Astronomy HOWTO Elwood Downey John Huggins howto@astronomy.net $Revision: 1.44 $ $Date: 2003/04/21 11:44:17 $ This document shares tips and resources to utilize Linux solutions in the pursuit of Astronomy. Table of Contents Introduction Knowledge Required Scope Version ... Revision History 1. Introduction 1.1. Knowledge Required With all the help from major Linux distributions such as SuSE, Redhat and many others, Linux based systems are becoming easier to use. However, there is still some need of understanding of basic UNIX skills to make the most of Linux. Thus, this HOWTO will assume that the reader has at least a basic knowledge of using a UNIX system including the ability to compile and install programs. A few resources we have found useful over the years include: "A Practical Guide to the UNIX System", Mark G. Sobel "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment", the late W. Richard Stevens "Running LINUX", Matt Welsh et al. "LINUX Device Drivers", Alessandro Rubini Similarly, this is not a tutorial or reference for astronomy principles or astronomical instrumentation. Astronomy is perhaps the grandest of all sciences, employing widely disparate disciplines in a bold attempt to understand nothing less than the universe itself. Your interests will lead in many directions. A few references we have used include: "Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac", P. Kenneth Seidelmann
