Astronomers Find Enormous Hole In The Universe

Extractions: cassu003@umn.edu Astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies, and gas, and the mysterious, unseen "dark matter." While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new discovery dwarfs them all. and detailed information "Not only has no one ever found a void this big, but we never even expected to find one this size," said Lawrence Rudnick of the University of Minnesota. Rudnick, along with Shea Brown and Liliya R. Williams, also of the University of Minnesota, reported their findings in a paper accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal Astronomers have known for years that, on large scales, the Universe has voids largely empty of matter. However, most of these voids are much smaller than the one found by Rudnick and his colleagues. In addition, the number of discovered voids decreases as the size increases.

Extractions: After about five years of having this page up, I have abrogated my association with the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomersmainly because I don't physically go out to the sidewalk anymore with my telescope(s). . . However, in this virtual world, I still encourage others to do so: it's a great way to 'share the universe' (and your enthusiasm!), especially if your temperament is at all outgoing. . . This page will continue to have some "sidewalk-like" articles beneath its cover, but it will also be geared to the average astro-interested beginner.

Astronomers Without Borders - HOME
Amateur astronomers regularly take their telescopes to public sites and invite others to join them in their exploration of the skies.
http://www.astronomerswithoutborders.org/

Extractions: We all share the same sky The star-filled night fascinates us all. People have gazed upward at it in wonder and awe for thousands of years. Regardless of earthly differences in culture, nationality or religion, the heavens are a common meeting ground for all of Earth's inhabitants. The boundaries we place between us vanish when we look skyward. Whoever, whatever or wherever we are, we all share the same sky. Sharing is an integral part of appreciating the cosmos. Amateur astronomers regularly take their telescopes to public sites and invite others to join them in their exploration of the skies. The veterans relive the thrill of discovery alongside these new space explorers. This passion to share the night sky crosses international borders and cultures as well. The heavens transcend political, ethnic and religious differences. The tensions of everyday life seem to drain away before the wonder and enormity of the skies, and those standing in darkness with heads turned upward never ask people beside them about their origins or beliefs. In that moment, differences are forgotten and we are one beneath the sky we share. It is this bond between people that Astronomers Without Borders hopes to foster. A brief message or the gift of a small telescope can grow into lasting bonds, goodwill and friendships that reach around the world. Understanding replaces ignorance and suspicion. Media images are superceded by the faces of real people. Relationships, support and personal connections supplant stereotypes.

Netastrocatalog - Internet Amateur Astronomers Catalog
The Internet Amateur astronomers Catalog (IAAC), a mailing list for deep sky observers of all levels.
http://www.visualdeepsky.org/

Extractions: a mailing list for "deep sky" observers of all levels The Internet Amateur Astronomers Catalog (IAAC or 'netastrocatalog' for short) is a forum for amateur astronomers at all levels to share their observations of Deep-Sky objects. (The 'deep-sky' includes all objects which are NOT members of our solar system: other galaxies, star clusters, gaseous nebulae, doubles, and variable stars are all deep-sky objects). Note that the netastrocatalog is a *catalog of amateur observations*, not a sales catalog of any kind! If you'd like to submit your OWN observation of any astronomical object, please fill out the following Web form with your observation: http://www.visualdeepsky.org/enter-log.html Or, if you use one of the wonderful observation-planning applications out there, such as Jeff Bondono's dObjects or , you may simply be able to submit your observations to the IAAC via a menu item in your application. Ask your software author about this! Once you submit your observation to netastrocatalog, it will appear on the World Wide Web along with countless other amateurs' efforts, within a week or so. In addition, all 'netastrocatalog' subscribers will see your submission immediately! The whole (LARGE) archive of previous logs is available at:

http://www.eso.org/outreach/press-rel/pr-2007/pr-22-07.html

Extractions: For Immediate Release Astronomers have discovered the most Earth-like planet outside our Solar System to date, an exoplanet with a radius only 50% larger than the Earth and capable of having liquid water. Using the ESO 3.6-m telescope, a team of Swiss, French and Portuguese scientists discovered a super-Earth about 5 times the mass of the Earth that orbits a red dwarf, already known to harbour a Neptune-mass planet. The astronomers have also strong evidence for the presence of a third planet with a mass about 8 Earth masses. The Planetary System Around Gliese 581 This exoplanet - as astronomers call planets around a star other than the Sun - is the smallest ever found up to now and it completes a full orbit in 13 days. It is 14 times closer to its star than the Earth is from the Sun. However, given that its host star, the red dwarf Gliese 581

http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/Media/releases/ssc2008-04/release.shtml

Extractions: Media Contacts For Release: February 12, 2008 NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, with a boost from a natural "zoom lens," have uncovered what may be one of the youngest and brightest galaxies ever seen in the middle of the cosmic "dark ages," just 700 million years after the beginning of our universe. The detailed images from Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer reveal an infant galaxy, dubbed A1689-zD1, undergoing a firestorm of star birth during the dark ages, a time shortly after the Big Bang but before the first stars reheated the cold, dark universe. Images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Array Camera provided strong additional evidence that it was a young star-forming galaxy in the dark ages. "We certainly were surprised to find such a bright young galaxy 12.8 billion years in the past," said astronomer Garth Illingworth of the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a member of the research team. "This is the most detailed look to date at an object so far back in time." "The Hubble images yield insight into the galaxy's structure that we cannot get with any other telescope," added astronomer Rychard Bouwens of UC Santa Cruz, a co-discoverer. The new images should offer insights into the formative years of galaxy birth and evolution and yield information on the types of objects that may have contributed to ending the dark ages. The faraway galaxy also is an ideal target for Hubble's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, scheduled to launch in 2013.
