Alien UFO Astronomy Research Top 10/100
Welcome. We have evidence that all this talk about extraterrestrials and UFOs does belong to actual events and reality. This site is maintained by friends and team members from a large internet UFO and space research club at Yahoo! researching large databases of alien, UFO, and astronomy related information collected over the past 40 years. We will give you a quick introduction, then some of the top 10 and top 100 links on the Internet about aliens, UFOs, and astronomy.
Introduction... There are billions and clouds and clusters of galaxies in the known Universe. All being photographed with deep space telescopes. There are billions and billions of suns in each of the billions of galaxies. And each of the suns is smaller, similar, the same, or bigger than our own sun. More and more planets are being found around those suns. At the moment with today's technology we can only see very large planets similar to Jupiter. Hundreds of high level witnesses from top secret agencies and special access projects are now telling the public about their experiences with UFOs, extraterrestrials, and other astronomy related information. (Hostility from intelligent extraterrestrials seems to be rare or non existent. Although it seems that only about 50 - 70 different types of beings have been catalogued, of the possible thousands of types in our Milky Way Galaxy.

About the University of Hertfordshire Astronomy Group Research in astronomy has been carried out at the University of Hertfordshire (formerly known as Hatfield Polytechnic) for over 20 years and during this time the Astronomy Group led by Prof. J.H. Hough has earned an international reputation in astronomical polarimetry. It has been at the forefront in developing common-user polarimetry systems, having designed and built multi-wavelength, near infra-red imaging- and optical spectro-polarimeters for the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT), and imaging- and spectro-polarimeters for the 4m UK Infra-Red Telescope (UKIRT) on Mauna Kea. During the last few years, the Astronomy Group has expanded rapidly and although polarimetry remains a core activity, we use a wide range of techniques in many wavebands to pursue our research interests. These range from star formation to the high redshift universe, even touching on questions fundamental to the origins of life! Some of the questions we are investigating are:
  • What is the nature of the massive dusty torus believed to surround Active Galactic Nuclei?

Cook Since the time of primitive civilizations, earthlings have looked skyward for clues to the past and prophesies of the future. Familiar celestial features and mysterious cosmic phenomena have fascinated us, even before humans developed the ability to write . As one of the oldest sciences, astronomy was important in the establishment of time recording standards, such as clocks and calendars, and the development of celestial navigation techniques. Early advances in astronomy can be traced back to the Babyloni an, Egyptian, Greek, and Chinese cultures. When we examine our galaxy, we not only see objects beaming light to us from more than a million light years away, but we also see an expanding universe of celestial bodies that are racing away from us at incredible speeds to unknown destinations. Various cosmic phenomena such as pulsars, quasars, x-ray stars, and radio galaxies raise questions as to how we fit into the universe. Astronomers strive to answer these questions as new instruments and scientific methods are developed to examine the cosmos. Eac h new wavelength band reveals new aspects of the universe, and the

ASTRONOMY RESEARCH PROJECT
Aims This project should take the place of a Sixth form Physics Practical project. The students could undertake it as a real research project or make it a search for some feature, for example, a new supernova. Introduction The Bradford Robotic Telescope can obtain images of almost any star in the northern sky. For rapid turnaround you will need to check where the stars are during the night to ensure that they can be seen by the telescope during the hours of darkness. The easiest way to do this is to use a programme like Skyglobe which displays the position of stars at any time and place. ( Skyglobe is available from the Bradford Engineering in Astronomy Group or from Hensa gopher://micros.hensa.ac.uk:70/11/micros/ibmpc//dos//f/f688 ) An alternative is to use a Phillips Planisphere for the UK (51½° North) which is available from good bookshops. The main research function of this telescope is its ability to measure the brightness of an object with great precision, although control via the Internet brings it to your classroom or home. Project Some general questions are raised - the same as those at the end of "The Galaxy and the Universe" project in the Nuffield programme for year eleven. A few more specific ideas are indicated, although research is still generally at the stage of looking for particular changes. The observations undertaken by the

An extremely important part of PPARC's remit is to ensure that the population at large are aware of the important and exciting developments in PPARC science. Through our communications and science and society programmes we aim to capitalise on the excitement of astronomy, space and particle physics to inform and inspire audiences about UK research.
We are driven by a number of factors including:
    Need to deliver physicists for the UK economy. It is well documented that particle physics, astronomy and space science are the areas that inspire young people to become interested in science, and in particular the physical sciences. Our programme aims to help deliver the scientists of the future who will be essential to the success of the UK economy.
    We believe it to be extremely important that the taxpayer is aware of the value of the work that we are doing on their behalf.
In our communications work, we take the following approaches:
    Community approach - We work with our scientists and encourage and equip them to communicate with their local stakeholders
    We work with the mass media, educators, Public Understanding of Science professionals, including museums and science centres

[87.24] DOING Astronomy Research in High Schools.
M. A. Nook (St. Cloud State University), D. L. Williams (St. Cloud Apollo High School) A collaboration between six science teachers at five central Minnesota high schools and astronomers at St. Cloud State University designed and implemented a program to involve high school students in active observational astronomy research. The emphasis of the program is to engage students and teachers in a research project that allows them to better understand the nature of scientific endeavor. The research is continuing in all five of the original high schools. Eight additional schools have expressed interest in this program and are becoming involved in developing their research programs. This work is supported by Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. and administered by the National Science Teachers Association through a 1999 Toyota TAPESTRY Grant and by St. Cloud State University and Independent School District 742, St. Cloud, MN.

Research Introduction Research Facilities
How Do I get Involved in Student Research?
There are several different ways that our students can get involved in research projects. Most student research occurs in the summer. There are also a few students carrying on their research projects during the year. The main mode of summer research on campus is to join one of the faculty research teams. In late March or early April, all faculty members who have openings for students during the summer give a short public presentation on their research projects. These presentations are open to all students who have taken classes in the department (not just declared majors). Students then submit a list of faculty members who they'd like to work with during the upcoming summer. And, as a department, we distribute the interested students into the various research groups. Not everyone gets their first choice, but most people get to work with someone on their list. This past summer, we had about 15 slots for student research. Most rising juniors and seniors were accommodated, but it is often difficult to find spaces for rising sophomores. These summer research positions last ten weeks and, in Summer 2002, came with a $3500 stipend. Sometimes summer research projects can carry over into the school year, with student hourly wages being covered by the professor's research grant. Most thesis research, done by upperclasspeople (whether in the honors program or not), is accomplished over one (or even better, two) of these summer periods.

OBSERVATORY NEWS
We have recently acquired two new instruments: A 3-m radio telescope has been purchased with a 21-cm receiver system for observing atomic Hydrogen. With this telescope we can observe the Hydrogen that exists in the space between the stars known as the interstellar medium. It allows us to study the amount of Hydrogen and its velocity, permitting measurements to be made of the rotation of our Galaxy. In this way we can see the large-scale structure of the Galaxy. The picture shows some of the team, including undergraduate student Luke Woolfenden, during the telescope assembly. The telescope is used by the students of Cardiff University, as well as by members of the Cardiff Astronomical Society. It is also available for viewing by school parties and members of the public during University Open Days. An H-alpha filter is now being used in conjunction with the Meade telescope for solar astronomy. With this filter we can take images of the Sun to examine details such as sunspots, solar flares and prominences. In this way we can study the energetics of the Sun.

Many fields are now coping with a rapidly mounting problem: how to organize, use, and make sense of the enormous amounts of data generated by today’s instruments and experiments. Ideally, this data should be accessible to scientists and educators, to minimize the gap between current research, education and public knowledge, and to facilitate integrative research. The goal of this project is to develop an internet data resource in astronomy. Because of the nature of the data and analyses required, the data will be widely distributed rather than centralized, an approach that may prove to be applicable in many other fields. Today, instruments like the following are being used for systematic surveys of our galaxy and of the distant universe: The Hubble Space Telescope [HST]
Chandra X-Ray Observatory [Chandra]
Sloan Digital Sky Survey [SDSS]
Two Micron All Sky Survey [2MASS]
Digitized Palomar All Sky Survey [DPOSS] Together they will give us an unprecedented catalog to study the evolving universe—provided that the data can be systematically studied in an integrated fashion.
