Welcome to the club 22sa and I hope you have a great time.

What was the first comet anyone has seen?

Red1530 January 11th, 2007 6:57 PM

I have yet to see a comet.

Akio123 January 11th, 2007 7:04 PM

I saw my first in third grade, I had a telescope and watched it for a while from my room, I was quiete happy seeing it.

Kotowari January 13th, 2007 4:21 AM

Can I join too?
Our geography topic for the previous therm was Astronomy. Only bad I just have one hour of Geography, those who do science have two hours and they learned lots more.
I really enjoyed that topic. It's intriguing that the Universe actually might stop at some moment. We have now reached a Space temperature of 4-5K, if it reaches 0K, everything is going to stop. It's hard to imagine that.

When I was little I read a lot of Astronomy books, just for fun. =D

Welcome to our club I hope you enjoy your time here!^^

Over the weekend I cam across two interesting astronomy related links. The first one has you zooming into Earth from ten million light years away from the Milky Way. The second has deal with dark matter.

First Link: http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/scienceopticsu/powersof10/index.html

Second Link: http://news.independent.co.uk/world/science_technology/article2134891.ece

I just came across an article that talks about the New Horizons Mission taking photos of Jupiter

Link: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2007/01/12/jupiter_spa_02.html?category=space&guid=20070112140030

Akio123 January 15th, 2007 12:22 PM

Those are really cool thanks for the links.

Red1530 January 16th, 2007 5:38 PM

Your welcome and here are three more links. The first is the direct measuring of an exoplanet diameter, the second is the discovery of a magnetic field in another galaxy and the last is the release of the mission details for the repair mission for the Hubble Space Telescope.

First Link: http://www.astronomy.com/asy/default.aspx?c=a&id=5033
Second Link: http://www.astronomy.com/asy/default.aspx?c=a&id=5037
Third Link: http://www.astronomy.com/asy/default.aspx?c=a&id=5031

Akio123 January 17th, 2007 2:37 PM

The second I found the msot interesting due to the fact that possibly witha magnetic field if we follow t we may be able to find new life.

Kotowari January 18th, 2007 12:56 PM

I haven't read the complete articles yet, but they seemed very interresting.

The one with the zooming in to the earth is amazing. I wonder how far it will go on...

I was a bit surprised that they are still going to repaire the Hubble Telescope. According to my Geography teacher they were going to stop doing that. I'm happy to hear that they are not completely abandoning it. I mean, it took some amazing pictures and photo's of the Universe. I love them.

Akio123 January 18th, 2007 3:05 PM

I finished them completely and I gotta say again they were awesome articles.

Red1530 January 21st, 2007 5:06 AM

I just came up with an idea for the club. How about posting observation reports. Also any club member can post astronomy related info in the thread.

Akio123 January 22nd, 2007 2:23 PM

That's a cool idea, by the by the other night, I saw the moon in cresent phase around 7.PM.

Red1530 January 22nd, 2007 7:02 PM

Here is my observation reports after observing Saturn on Friday night and Jupiter Sunday morning with my telescope.

Kotowari January 27th, 2007 12:58 AM

You're lucky to have a telescope. I don't have one. =/
And it's freezing out here. -At last Winter started here, 2 months to late-
Currently in Geography we're learning about the Atmosphere, so not really Astronomy.

BTW, a few years ago I went to the "Sterrekijkdagen" (Stars-spot-days XD)
I saw a red, a blue and a yellow star. It's amazing that you can see those colours.

I was on SkyTonight.com and came across their interactive utilities like showing the phase of the moon and the locations of Jupiter's brightest moons.

Today some of the first pictures from the New Horizon mission of Jupiter and they can be viewed here.

Nova and a Program
 
I would like to alert every member of club that a nova is progress in the constellation of Scorpius and I am releasing a program I made called Constellation Memory and will be available in the first post.
