Telescopes I've Used (and what I've done with them) I admit it - I'm a telescope junkie. Backyard, mountaintop, optical, infrared, orbiting, any flavor. I do have the good fortune to be in a profession that doesn't consider this too much of an aberration. To show what kinds of projects can be done with various instruments (at least the kinds I've thought of), here's a gallery of observatories and telescopes I've used with some sample data and results. Since astrophysics now has (and needs) access to much of the electromagnetic spectrum, there are optical, infrared, radio, ultraviolet, and X-ray facilities to be found. For each picture, a click will get you the full-sized version. There is a mix of pictures of and data through each telescope. Where one exists, I've included links to the "official" WWW sites for these instruments, and to the TerraServer overhead imagery. Some of the USGS images are included here. Some images are still to be added, and all the listed sites will eventually have their own information and image pages. About the picture above: this 30-second exposure taken on 20 December 1999 shows a brilliant flare (visual magnitude about -6) from the Iridium 62 satellite seen over Kitt Peak , as viewed from MDM Observatory . Lyra is rising in the background with Vega at left. More information on Iridium flares (and other satellite viewing opportunities) may be found at the Heavens-Above site , especially now that the future of the Iridium communications constellation is in less doubt than before.

Intro Welcome to Stargazers, an unofficial website for British rock band, The Telescopes and Unisex. The Telescopes are back after a 9 year hiatus and in celebration of that I've decided to create this website, something I've always wanted to do but just never got around to it until now. So i thought with news of a third album, the time would be perfect to start this site. Members of The Telescopes also record as Unisex. I'm hoping this site will be an excellent resource for this underappreciated band. Quotes about the band "Every sound you've ever heard was but a preliminary excercise for the all-embracing maelstrom of The Telescopes" (Melody Maker, 1989) "Like mad cultural terrorists, they've taken the norm and fed it through a psychedelic blender. It's all rather jagged and unsettling, the musical equivalent of cackling maggots spilling out through the eyeholes of the beautiful- and is both timely and exciting" (Melody Maker, 1994) Site info Online since: February 10, 2002.

The 6.5-meter Baade and Clay telescopes were built by the Carnegie Institution of Washington at its Las Campanas Observatory in Chile on behalf of the Magellan Project, a collaborative effort by the Carnegie Institution, University of Arizona, Harvard University, University of Michigan, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Magellan Consortium consists of more than 200 senior astronomers, 100 postdoctoral astronomers, and nearly 100 Ph.D. students. Each partner has its own scientific agenda for the telescopes and assigns its share of telescope usage.

34. Orbiting Astronomical Observatories HEAO 3 was launched on September 20, 1979, carried Gamma ray telescopes, . Some optical astronomy is done with its 5cm optical guidance telescope, http://seds.org/~spider/oaos/oaos.html

Orbital Telescopes Since the early years of spaceflight, the advantages of astronomical observing above the Earth's atmosphere were recognized, and led to the introduction of astronomical instruments on spacecraft, i.e., astronomical observatories in space (in most cases, in Earth's orbit). Please note that this list is not complete in specific Solar research satellites, and does not include planetary probes. Astronomical Satellites Launch Sequence Additions, corrections, and comments are welcome, please contact me Our image shows Nasa's High Energy Astronomical Observatory (HEAO) 2 satellite, which was also named Einstein Ariel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (UK) The honor of the first astronomical satellite project goes to Great Britain. Ariel 1 , launched April 26, 1962, investigated Solar UV and X-radiation, and obtained an energy spectrum of primary cosmic rays. Ariel 2, 3, and 4 , launched March 27, 1964 (2), May 5, 1967 (3), and December 11, 1971, respectively, investigated astronomical objects in the radio range. Ariel 5 (launched October 15, 1974) and

35. Radio Telescopes telescopes observing at these wavelengths are commonly called radio telescopes. Although they do not look like optical telescopes, radio telescopes are http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr162/lect/light/radio.html

Radio Telescopes Most of what we know about the Universe comes from information that has been carried to us by light. But we have seen that visible light is only a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In recent years the remainder of the electromagnetic spectrum has revealed extensive information about our Universe. NRAO 140 Foot Telescope The first non-visual spectral region that was used extensively for astronomical observations was the radio frequency band. Telescopes observing at these wavelengths are commonly called radio telescopes . Although they do not look like optical telescopes, radio telescopes are built to accomplish the same gathering and focussing tasks on radio frequency radiation that reflecting telescopes perform on visual frequency light. The adjacent image shows the 140 foot antenna of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia. Radio telescopes are used for many purposes, but let us describe two here explicitly: the mapping of neutral hydrogen concentrations using the 21 centimeter spin-flip transition in hydrogen, and the use of multiple radio telescopes operated as if they were a single telescope of very high resolution. Mapping Neutral Hydrogen A neutral hydrogen atom (H I) consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The proton and electron spin like tops with their spin axes either parallel or anti-parallel. When hydrogen atoms switch from the parallel to the anti-parallel configuration they emit radio waves with a wavelength of 21 centimeters and a corresponding frequency of exactly 1420 MHz. This is called the

Before the use of the telescope people thought that the Earth lay inside a glass sphere or ball and that the stars were simply holes in that ball through which light from the heavens could pass. This belief came tumbling down in 1610 when a scientist by the name of Galileo first peered through his small home made telescope at the stars. He saw numberless stars, not all at the same distance, some were nearer, and some were further. He discovered moons around Jupiter, and many other new things.

Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2008 March 10 Planets Align Over Australian Radio Telescope Array Graeme L. White James Cook University Explanation: Last week, Mercury Venus , and the Moon all appeared close together in Earth's sky. This picturesque conjunction was caught on camera behind elements of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) near the town of Narrabri in rural New South Wales. The ATCA consists of six radio telescopes in total, each one larger than a house. Together they form one of the highest resolution measurement devices in the world. Impressive planetary conjunctions occur every few years. Involving the brightest objects in the night sky, this alignment was easy to spot just before sunrise. In the picture, taken on the morning of March 6, Mercury is the highest of the three bright celestial beacons. digg_url = 'http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap080310.html'; digg_skin = 'compact';
