    Extractions: michielb.nl projects maya astronomy / astronomy The Maya were quite accomplished astronomers. Their primary interest, in contrast to "western" astronomers, were Zenial Passages when the Sun crossed over the Maya latitudes. On an annual basis the sun travels to its summer solstice point, or the latitude of 23-1/3 degrees north. Most of the Maya cities were located south of this latitude, meaning that they could observe the sun directly overhead during the time that the sun was passing over their latitude. This happened twice a year, evenly spaced around the day of solstice. The Maya could easily determine these dates, because at local noon, they cast no shadow. Zenial passage observations are possible only in the Tropics and were quite unknown to the Spanish conquistadors who descended upon the Yucatan peninsula in the 16th century. The Maya had a god to represented this position of the Sun called the Diving God. Contact Updated: July 22 2005 web michielb.nl

84. History Of Astronomy: Persons
    Catalogue of biographical links covering hundreds prominent astronomers, past and present. Also in German  
    http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~pbrosche/hist_astr/ha_pers.html
    
    Extractions: The following pages include not only astronomers, but also persons with relation to astronomy: Scholars from other fields who did investigations in astronomy, makers of astronomical instruments, etc. In some cases the only relation to astronomy is that a feature on the Moon or on other planets was named after that specific person. Astronauts are included only when there was some relation of their work to astronomy. A document containing information on astronomers and related scientists is hyperlinked here only in case it provides more or less extended biographical data or it is devoted exclusively to a single person. For a large number of short biographies see the hyperlinks in the document More biographies Currently, the following pages contain more than 4600 different links to external documents for more than 1750 persons or on general items. Contains more than 9000 bibliographical entries for obituaries and short obituary notes.

I assume you want to write scripts, reduce data, view FITS images, plot results, work with latex, pdf, and postscript, and give presentations. I also assume that you're using the "OS X" operating system (true for post-2001 Apples), and that you are comfortable using unix/linux. I wrote these instructions for G4 apples running OS X 10.3. I updated the instructions to also work for OS X 10.4 and Intel processers. (There are several apples-for-scientists sites, so if my page doesn't answer your questions, try these links Your Mac's operating system is called "OS X" a version of BSD Unix with a fancypants graphical interface. Because Unix is the engine, you can use all your favorite linux tools. These instructions show you how. X11 is the standard linux graphical window environment. You must install X11 before you can use any of the standard graphical programs written for li/unix, including most astronomical software.

    Extractions: new recent Authors: Abraham Loeb Mark J. Reid Andreas Brunthaler Heino Falcke (Submitted on 24 Jun 2005 ( ), last revised 26 Jul 2005 (this version, v3)) Abstract: A major uncertainty in the dynamical history of the local group of galaxies originates from the unknown transverse speed of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) relative to the Milky Way. We show that the recent VLBA measurement of the proper motion of Andromeda's satellite, M33, severely constrains the possible values of M31's proper motion. The condition that M33's stellar disk will not be tidally disrupted by either M31 or the Milky Way over the past 10 billion years, favors a proper motion amplitude of 100+-20km/s for M31 with the quadrant of a negative velocity component along Right Ascension and a positive component along Declination strongly ruled-out. This inference can be tested by future astrometric measurements with SIM, GAIA, or the SKA. Our results imply that the dark halos of Andromeda and the Milky Way will pass through each other within the next 5-10 billion years.
