Verlag Programm Astronomie The Role of Visual Representations in Astronomy: History and Research Practice Titel Reihe Acta Historica Astronomiae , Vol. 9: The Role of Visual Representations in Astronomy: History and Research Practice Herausgeber Klaus Hentschel, Axel D. Wittmann Extras Einband anschauen Internet-Link zum Titel: Internet-Seite zur Reihe an der Uni Bonn Zum Buch Astronomy would not exist without nonverbal representations: With the majority of celestial objects perceptible to us only by the light or radiations they emit, images of all kinds have always played a central role in the history of astronomy. From prehistoric sketches of the moon with a supernova or bright planet, star-charts in temples and tombs of the Ancients, celestial and lunar maps from the Middle Ages to modern photographs and spectrograms of sun, moon, and planets, two-dimensional images and three-dimensional models have always been an integral element of astronomy. Added to these are a variety of more technical charts and graphs, like the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, the Maunder-type solar activity diagrams, the light curves of variable stars, the spectral atlases of the sun and the brightest stars, and so forth; and more recently, of course, there are the spectacular images obtained from large ground-based telescopes, satellite observatories, and deep space probes. This intimate relationship between science and image is not as straightforward, however, as it might at first seem. How direct is this graphic conversion of the subject of observation or registration by man or machine? What problems emerge in the translation process? Does this endless quest for ever better representational forms and ever better resolution have repercussions on the research practice? What is the impact of technological developments? How do astronomers and astrophysicists interact with their illustrators, engravers, lithographers, photographers and other graphic arts specialists? And how can these visual records from the past best be preserved?

I believe that she is being created and destroyed, all at the same time. And in this sense she is immortal and infitessimally young. It is our way of thinking which is constrained, not the universe. Why should the universe be defined by a funny little pair of concepts we call 'time and space'?"

E. Schaefer (Yale) The application of astronomy to history often requires detailed calculations of the visibility of celestial objects. Recent advances have greatly improved the accuracy, scope, and ease for making celestial visibility calculations. I will detail my recent results for heliacal rise dates and directions, extinction angles for rising stars, the dates of lunar crescent visibility, and the size of the ubiquitous refraction variations low on the horizon. Some simple resulting statistics will also be mentioned. Since the theory is complex and the observations are many, the results will be presented in a handout as graphs that cover most cases, references to the original articles, and complete computer programs. I hope to provide workers with the tools required to support their research. [Previous] [Session 23] [Next]

Astronomy History Super Novae still intrigue astronomers to this day! Galileo observed the Jovian moon system with his small telescope. Today we can see many more moons with even a moderately sized telescope. The long lengths of these 'rope' telescopes was due to the f/ratio of the objective lenses and eyepieces. Columnation must have been quite interesting! The Newtonian style of telescope is still popular today due to the ease of construction, and $ per aperture cost versus a refractor. Today amateurs can purchase and observe through telescopes up to 40" in size. The truss-style dobsonian was not practical in the 1800's due to the weight of the mirrors and the lack of lightweight truss tubes. Spectroscopy has been the main tool for determining star composition, and is still leading the way in unveiling new knowledge of our universe. Early 'amateurs' like Lord Rosse helped to establish the science of designing large aperture mirrors, and paved the way through patronage of the early mirror makers.. Large telescopes like this one advanced the knowledge of astronomy and astrometry greatly in the last century. Today we consider this size telescope to be 'small' beside such instruments as Subaru and Gemini.

This Month in the History of Astronomy July Birthdays July 19, 1846 - Edward Pickering, pioneering American spectroscopist and Harvard College Obs. director from 1876 to 1919; this was the era of the introduction of photography in astronomy and the Harvard plate collection started during Pickering's tenure is still a valuable archival source of data. July 22, 1784 - Friedrich Bessel, German astronomer and mathematician, who was the first ever, in 1837, to measure a star's parallax. (The star was 61 Cygni and the parallax was a mere 1/3rd of an arc-second). This ended a debate that dated back two millenia to the Greeks (Aristotle) about the distances to the stars. Bessel is also remembered for the mathematical functions that bear his name, which appear in many areas of mathematical physics. Discoveries and other firsts July 1, 1770 - Lexell's comet passes a mere 2.3 million km from Earth, less than 9 times the distance to the Moon. July 1, 1917 - The 100" mirror arrived on Mt. Wilson. Businessman John D. Hooker donated the funds for the glass, which was the same as that used for the wine bottles made by the Saint Gobrain Glassworks in France. July 2, 1967 - The Vela gamma-ray satellite was launched with the intention of detecting nuclear bomb explosions but became famous for its serendipitous discovery of gamma-ray bursters.

Radio Astronomy History in a Nutshell Radio astronomy began with Karl Jansky's discovery, in 1932, of a strong source of radio static which originated from the central region of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Jansky was using a rotating antenna and a receiver operating at 20.7 Mhz. Jansky's work was largely ignored except by a young engineer in Wheaton, Illinois named Grote Reber. Karl Jansky and his rotating 20.7 Mhz antenna. Reber, using his own funds and enormous personal effort constructed a fully steerable parabolic dish antenna. He built and used numerous receivers operating at a number of wavelengths and slowly was able to construct a sky map based on the strength of the radio signals emanating from the regions of the sky covered by his antenna. Not much else happened in the field until after World War II, when many scientists found themselves free of military concerns and armed with a wealth of new technology which sprung from the conflict. Radar had pushed the ability to receive signals to shorter and shorter wavelengths where antennas of reasonable size could be built to examine smaller regions of the sky (narrow beam widths). Grote Reber's original dish today at the NRAO in West Virginia.
