Extractions: General Information. In October 1993 the Department of Physics and Astronomy came into being as the result of a merger between the Department of Physics and the Department of Astronomy. The astronomers form the Institute for Astronomy which occupies the Blackford Hill site (near the King's Buildings campus) which also houses the Royal Observatory Edinburgh. More recently, the Department has expanded to include the Institute for Meteorology. The Department is based in the James Clerk Maxwell Building (which also contains the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC) and the University Computing Service, the Departments of Computer Science, and Mathematics and Statistics) on the King's Buildings campus. Address Email: info@ph.ed.ac.uk How to find us From outside Edinburgh - Click here The main contact point is the Departmental Office , located on the fourth floor (just outside the lift) of the James Clerk Maxwell Building .

http://www.starshine.com/frankn/astron.asp

Extractions: I am sure that almost everyone has seen the stars, or at least one of them. Of course, that one, is our own sun. There, in our daily sky, is the star that makes our life possible. We take it for granted that, day after day, it will be there. What too many people fail to grasp is that it's kind fill our sky at night: almost every point of light in our night sky is a sun. Many people think our sun is special, but it isn't. Our sun is a fairly average star. It is a middle aged member of a large family. With names like brown dwarf, red dwarf, red giant and super giant, there is a hint of how diverse that family is. Bright, dim, large, small, young, and old, stars span the gamut. How to Start
Otterbein College Department Of Physics And Astronomy
Introduces faculty and summarizes academic program. Details courses, schedules, and degrees, and offers general information about the Weitkamp Observatory and Science Lecture Series.
http://www.otterbein.edu/dept/phys/

Extractions: Department Home Schedule of Courses Degree Requirements ... Contact Us The Physics major at Otterbein College prepares students interested in the natural sciences for a wide variety of careers, from academic or industrial research and development, to medicine, law or business, by providing training in problem solving and analytical thinking. Introductory physics is also taken by students majoring in Chemistry and Life Science who wish to understand the physical principles applied in their own disciplines. The Physical Science major prepares students for a career in teaching in grades 7-12. Otterbein offers a program in Engineering in cooperation with Washington University in St. Louis and Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland leading to a B.A. degree from Otterbein College and a B.S. degree in Engineering from the partner institution. Students in this program commonly attend Otterbein for three years and Washington University or Case Western for two. The cooperative engineering program is an attractive alternative to traditional engineering curricula which are typically highly structured and require longer than four years to complete. Program graduates are "liberally educated engineers" with a professional advantage due to the distinctive range of their skills, from problem solving to communication.
NCSA Astronomy Digital Image Library
(ADIL) collects astronomical, researchquality images and make them available to the astronomical community, and the general public. Offers Library access, image browse, and FITS links.
http://imagelib.ncsa.uiuc.edu/imagelib.html

Extractions: adil@ncsa.uiuc.edu The purpose of the Astronomy Digital Image Library (ADIL) is to collect astronomical, research-quality images and make them available to the astronomical community and the general public. Patrons access the Library through the World Wide Web to search for and browse images. Once images are located in the Library, users may download them to their local machines in FITS format for further analysis. The Library provides a number of benefits not only to those looking for images, but also to those who add images to the Library's growing collection. For more on what the ADIL is all about, check the introduction to the ADIL User's Guide The Library is being developed and maintained by the Radio Astronomy Imaging Group at the National Center for Supercomputing Application (NCSA) on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) . Support has come from: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through Project Horizon, a cooperative agreement with

The Planet Neptune
general features and some pictures.
http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/neptune/neptune.html

Extractions: Neptune is like Uranus in many ways, but has its own unique features. Because of Pluto's highly elliptical orbit , it is currently the most distant planet from the Sun, at a separation of about 30 Astronomical Units. The full disk of Neptune in shown in the adjacent image (Ref) Neptune has been particularly challenging to study from the ground because its disk is small and badly blurred by the Earth's atmosphere at that distance. In spite of this, ground-based astronomers had learned a great deal about this planet since its position was first predicted by Adams and Leverrier in 1845. However, our most detailed information about Neptune has come from the Voyager 2 flyby in 1989.
The Planet Jupiter
general features and some pictures.
http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/jupiter/jupiter.html

Extractions: The planet Jupiter is shown in the adjacent Hubble Space Telescope true-color image (Ref) . Jupiter is by far the largest of the planets. It is more than twice as massive as all other planets combined; if it had been only about 100 times more massive at birth (not so much by astronomical standards) it would have become a star instead of a planet. Then the Solar System might be a double star system instead of a single star with a planetary system. Jupiter has features very different from terrestrial planets. Its composition is more like that of stars, and if it has any solid surface it is hidden deep at its center: Jupiter is apparently almost entirely gas and liquid. It also has an internal energy source and enormous magnetic fields. Finally, the 4 largest moons of Jupiter (the Galilean Moons) are sufficiently interesting in their own right that they are among the most studied objects in the Solar System. We shall devote a separate section to studying their properties. Our most detailed information concerning Jupiter has come from the space probes Pioneer 10 (1973), Pioneer 11 (1974), Voyager I (March, 1979), Voyager II (July, 1979), and Galileo (1995-present). The first 4 were flyby missions; the Galileo probe was inserted into orbit around Jupiter December, 1995, and launched a probe into the atmosphere that transmitted information before being destroyed.
