    Extractions: February 15, 2008 NASA has selected a proposal by an MIT-led team to develop plans for an array of radio telescopes on the far side of the moon that would probe the earliest formation of the basic structures of the universe. The agency announced the selection and 18 others related to future observatories on Friday, Feb.15. The new MIT telescopes would explore one of the greatest unknown realms of astronomy, the so-called "Dark Ages" near the beginning of the universe when stars, star clusters and galaxies first came into existence. This period of roughly a billion years, beginning shortly after the Big Bang, closely followed the time when cosmic background radiation, which has been mapped using satellites, filled all of space. Learning about this unobserved era is considered essential to filling in our understanding of how the earliest structures in the universe came into being. The Lunar Array for Radio Cosmology (LARC) project is headed by Jacqueline Hewitt, a professor of physics and director of MIT's Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Science. LARC includes nine other MIT scientists as well as several from other institutions. It is planned as a huge array of hundreds of telescope modules designed to pick up very-low-frequency radio emissions. The array will cover an area of up to two square kilometers; the modules would be moved into place on the lunar surface by automated vehicles.

    http://gardentelescopes.com/
    
    Extractions: It is a powerful telescope for stargazing or simply admiring the view. It is a beautiful and unusual bronze sculpture, a work of art for your garden, terrace or roof deck, that also works as a sundial. It is in the Smithsonian, and now you can own one, too. This elegant garden telescope was created in the early 1920s by Russell Porter, designer of the Palomar Mountain Observatory 200 inch Hale Telescope. Only a few of these antique reflecting telescopes have survived. Today, Telescopes of Vermont is lavishly and faithfully recreating The Porter Garden Telescope in hand-finished cast bronze, with improved 21st century optics. Click here to see a video which shows the fabrication of the telescope and introduces the craftsmen who collaborated on the project. The piece, a New England Dream House segment, is courtesy of New England Cable News. Whether you are creating your own garden design or working with an architect, residential landscape architect, or interior designer, you can grace any outdoor space with this unique permanent installation. With the authorization of the Springfield Telescope Makers, founded by Porter, we are offering our garden telescope in a numbered, limited edition to discriminating buyers who are seeking a truly distinctive landscape design centerpiece.

    Extractions: the European Southern Observatory The telescopes of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory are designed to collect radio waves in an antenna, to distribute this information through a highly sensitive receiver and correlator and then to analyze the output with sophisticated software designed specifically for this purpose. The newest telescope project of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory is the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) . This endeavor includes the collaboration of observatories from around the world in the manufacturing of over 50 high-precision 12-meter antennas. ALMA will be the forefront instrument for studying the cool universe - the relic radiation of the Big Bang, and the molecular gas and dust that constitute the very building blocks of stars, planetary systems, galaxies, and life itself. The ALMA site is located at an elevation of 16,400 feet in Llano de Chajnantor, Chile.

    Extractions: NEW! Captain James Cook's Telescopes The topics on this site include: Cincinnati astronomy, antique telescopes, historical telescopes, antique scientific instruments, reflector telescope, refractor telescope, spyglass, pirate telescope, telescope history, history of astronomy, astronomy before the telescope. Topics to be added shortly: History of the Cincinnati telescopes and observatory, Captain Cook's telescopes, and many more photographs of old instruments. Rather than show all the well-known historical instruments in important museums (since these photos are readily available elsewhere), I prefer to show little-known astronomical instruments that are nonetheless typical of their time. I make no claims for completeness. This site is intended as an overview of historical astronomical instruments. As more material is added in the months ahead, the site will naturally become more comprehensive.

53. Star Testing Astronomical Telescopes
    A Manual for Optical Evaluation and Adjustment by HR Suiter, Published by us (WillmannBell) and in stock for immediate shipment.  
    http://www.willbell.com/tm/tm5.htm
    
    Extractions: Star-test results apply to the complete imaging performance of the telescope. The star test is lightning-fast and requires only a good high-power eyepiece. It tests the telescope for precisely what it was meant to do. Bad or poorly-aligned instruments fail the star test unambiguously. The star test often allows you to correct the optical difficulty immediately in the field, when you might be frantic to have your telescope perform well to observe a once in a lifetime event. Star Testing Astronomical Telescopes as a guide, your telescope will perform to the best of it's abilities and perhaps it will show images better than you would have believed possible. From The Reviewers Far too many of us have experienced this disturbing scenario. But now, thanks to Star Testing , you can answer these questions easily and probably have the telescope operating in no time. And if there is an optical problem, you will be able to communicate it clearly to the dealer and get prompt action. Chapter One and Two explain basic optics in a fashion that any motivated beginner can follow. Computer-generated illustrations of defocused star images are so realistic that you can learn a great deal by just looking at the pictures . . .

54. The First Telescopes (Cosmology: Tools)
    By taking our sense of sight far beyond the realm of our forebears imagination, these wonderful instruments, the telescopes, open the way to a deeper and  
    http://www.aip.org/history/cosmology/tools/tools-first-telescopes.htm
    
    Extractions: I n the early 17 th century, craftsmen and scientists introduced a new tool for studying the heavens. The telescope, one of the central instruments of the Scientific Revolution, soon became the astronomer's most essential tool. Now the astronomer could see countless stars and other faint objects never before visible. Suddenly the universe was no longer limited to what the naked eye could see. As telescopes improved, astronomers continued to push back the boundaries of the known universe, peering ever deeper into the surrounding sea of stars known as the Milky Way. The Invention The manufacture and properties of lenses were known since the time of the Greeks. Islamic scholars such as the Egyptian physician Alhazen (born in the 10 th century) made important contributions to the study of optics. However, lenses were not introduced to Europe until around the 13

    http://www.lifeinuniverse.org/noflash/Telescopes-01-01-07.html
    
    Extractions: The observational study of Cosmology is difficult, because it mostly concerns extremely distant and therefore also very faint celestial objects. For this reason, astrophysicists often need to use giant telescopes with large mirrors that can collect sufficient light. Different types of telescopes are used to observe different types of electromagnetic radiation. On the ground, there are radio telescopes and optical/infrared telescopes . Radiation of certain wavelengths, in particular very energetic (short wavelength) radiation, cannot penetrate the Earth's atmosphere, and observations in the gamma-ray, X-ray and ultraviolet spectral regions have to be done from orbiting telescopes. The more distant an object is, the longer the light has taken to reach us. Light moves with a speed of approx. 300,000 km/sec. We therefore see the Moon - at a distance of about 400,000 km - as it was 1.3 seconds ago. The Sun's light reaches the Earth after having travelled 150 million km during 500 seconds and that from Pluto, some 6 billion km away, arrives after nearly 6 hours. Astronomers use light-years to indicate distances in the Universe - one light-year is the distance travelled by light in one year, or approximately 10,000,000,000,000 km. The nearest bright star, Alpha Centauri, is 4 light-years away and the most distant galaxies seen with modern telescopes are so remote that their light has travelled many billions of years. In fact, we see some of them as they looked less than one billion years after the

( Swift ) Why a Thinking Telescope?: The Thinking Telescope is a concept designed to enhance analysis and observation of huge sections of the night sky and to be able to extract useful information in a timely fashion. Three technologies must be integrated in order to create autonomous robotic telescope systems capable of finding and making more detailed follow-up observations of ephemeral source anomalies in real time. The knowledge extraction and discovery techniques employed in astronomy have not progressed very far from those employed by Tycho Brahe when, on 11 November 1572, he started modern time domain astronomy by discovering a bright new star that was not in his “mental catalog” of the night sky. Typically, humans still screen the reduced data even from robotic telescopes and, based on their knowledge and memory, identify candidates for follow-up observations. But modern data sets are becoming too large. Recognition of ephemeral changes of persistent sources in huge data streams and identification of fast celestial transients in the forest of non-celestial transients cannot be left to human analysts.

We now have even better rates than before! NEWS FLASH: Astromart moderator, Dave Bonandrini has posted a really detailed review of one of our telescopes: HERE Look what the guys at Astrochannels are doing with their Webster C28. Webster Telescopes has always had one goal in mind, BIG, PORTABLE DOBSONIAN TELESCOPES! While other manufactures were removing the large telescopes from their product lines, we were adding even bigger ones to ours. The big Dobsonians are our forte. But, just making the largest telescopes is not enough of a goal for us. Making Ultra-premium telescopes, unmatched by any commercial scope manufacturer, now that's a goal worthy of the Webster family name. Now in our 4th generation of woodworkers, Webster Telescopes really can claim to combine Old World craftsmanship with today's Computer Aided Design. Having a giant telescope would only be half the fun if you could not take it with you. Our telescopes were designed right from the start to break down into an easily transportable unit. Our users report that they can set up a Webster Telescope in 10 minutes, all by themselves. You will be aligned and viewing while the other guys are still leveling their tripods.
