You can follow the tab above that says ISAN or just go to www.sidewalkastronomynight.com 4:03 pm est Wednesday, February 6, 2008 ISAN 2008 This year, our goal will be focusing on the number of people reached rather than the number of telescope we take out. We want to be in as many locations as possible and more than anything, give people who might never have looked through a scope to see for the first time. Also - I need help!!! I can handle the administrative work for the Sidewalk Astronomers and John Dobson's website, but I really need a newsletter editor. As you know, I've been terrible at sending out newsletters. We only send out one printed newsletter a year, more of a "Year in Review" with electronic newsletters being sent out every month or more if there is a project such as ISAN. If you are interested, contact me so that we can discuss software, etc. I do have the 1st ISAN booklet ready to mail, but everyone needs to make sure they reply to the email I am sending tomorrow. At the bottom of the email, there is a link to update your information, make sure your mailing address is correct.

The Astronomical Data Center specializes in archiving and distributing collections of data that have been published by professional astronomers. Most of these data sets are in the form of computer-readable tables of numbers, rather than images. Amateur astronomers can find these data collections useful in looking up the properties and locations of celestial objects. This can help amateurs plan for observing sessions, and help them to better understand what they've observed. Please see our

36. Canadian Astronomers On Hunt For Meteor Mar 7, 2008 astronomers from The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, have captured rare video of a meteor falling to Earth. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-03/uowo-cao030708.php

Public release date: 7-Mar-2008 E-mail Article Contact: Jeff Renaud jrenaud9@uwo.ca University of Western Ontario Canadian astronomers on hunt for meteor Astronomers from The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, have captured rare video of a meteor falling to Earth. The Physics and Astronomy Department at Western has a network of all-sky cameras in Southern Ontario that scan the sky monitoring for meteors. Associate Professor Peter Brown, who specializes in the study of meteors and meteorites, says that Wednesday evening (March 5) at 10:59 p.m. EST these cameras captured video of a large fireball and the department has also received a number of calls and emails from people who actually saw the light. Brown along with Wayne Edwards, a post doctorate student, hope to enlist the help of local residents in recovering one or more possible meteorites that may have crashed in the Parry Sound area. “Most meteoroids burn up by the time they hit an altitude of 60 or 70 kilometres from Earth,” says Edwards. “We tracked this one to an altitude of about 24 kilometres so we are pretty sure there are at least one, and possibly many meteorites, that made it to the ground.” Edwards says the lab can narrow the ground location where the meteorite would have fallen, to about 12 square kilometres and have created a map that may assist in locating the meteorite. The rock, or rocks, would probably weigh a kilogram or slightly more.
