Tonight was so awesome. I went to the Planetarium for the first time ever, and saw a movie about telescopes/Galileo. I was smiling the whole time. Before the movie, the instructor showed the fall night sky, constellations, and simulated what it'll look like when Monday night's meteor shower happens ...
In this video of CNN, "Anthony Colaprete" a scientist of NASA is explaining how they could find water on Moon ,analyzing the data gathered after the impact of the moon in October 2009. The data has been gathered using telescopes and satellites in LCROSS project of NASA (Lunar Crater Observation ...
Before we get into the details of optical telescope design, let us review the basics of what a telescope does. A telescope helps us to see distant objects by increasing the image resolution and the image magnification. 1. Resolution – Telescopes include a large lens or mirror to be a “light bucket ...
... is about telescopes.” Computer science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation. Given the amount of exposure students get to the science of the physical, living and non-living world, it does not make sense to completely ignore a science that governs much ...
... up a plume of dust that was observed by the trailing LCROSS satellite and also Hubble as well as many telescopes on Earth. The LCROSS impacted the Moon's surface abiut 5 minutes after the rocket stage, creating a smaller plume. Well, on 13th November 2009 NASA scientists announced ...
... amateur astronomers peering through telescopes. Scientists spent a month analyzing data from the spacecraft’s spectrometers, instruments that can detect strong signals of water molecules in the plume. “We’ve had hints that there is water. This was almost like tasting it,” said Peter Schultz, professor ...
... are excited to see it. I’ve shown the kids the live feeds from NASA of the astronauts in both the Space Shuttle and the ISS so they understand what it is and what’s going on. I’ve also seen some links online for people that have used cameras and telescopes to track the Station across the sky. Here’s one ...
Peter Alway's Astrophotos I took most of these pictures in the early 1980's with an old fashioned Canon 35 mm single lens reflex film camera. I took some of them with standard and telephoto lenses, and I used telescopes for the others. I used my own 6" Newtonian reflector (an old Criterion ...
... deep, and a small spacecraft to measure what was kicked up. For space enthusiasts who stayed up, or woke up early, to watch the impact on Oct. 9, the event was anticlimactic, even disappointing, as they failed to see the anticipated debris plume. Even some high-powered telescopes on Earth like ...
... is about a shipping company, one a flyer for FCCJ ( Florida Community College of Jacksonville – Bill). The other is a laboratory. The telescopes are coming to life or being born. What are they going to do next? They might try to take over the world like Transformers. It sounds horrible. Crying, worry ...
