2. Astronomy Picture Of The Day A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html

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 April 3 South of Orion Johannes Schedler ( Panther Observatory Explanation: This tantalizing array of nebulae and stars can be found about 2 degrees south of the famous star-forming Orion Nebula. The region abounds with energetic young stars producing jets and outflows that push through the surrounding material at speeds of hundreds of kilometers per second . The interaction creates luminous shock waves known as Herbig-Haro (HH) objects. For example, the graceful, flowing arc just right of center is cataloged as HH 222, also called the Waterfall Nebula. Seen below the Waterfall, HH 401 has a distinctive cone shape. The bright bluish nebula below and left of center is NGC 1999 , a dusty cloud reflecting light from an embedded variable star. The entire cosmic vista spans over 30 light-years, near the edge of the Orion molecular cloud complex some 1,500 light-years distant.

Astronomy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For other uses, see Astronomy (disambiguation) A giant Hubble mosaic of the Crab Nebula , a supernova remnant Astronomy Portal Astronomy (from the Greek words astro(αστέρι) = star and nomos(νόμος) = law) is the scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars planets comets , and galaxies ) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as the cosmic background radiation ). It is concerned with the evolution, physics chemistry meteorology , and motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. Astronomers of early civilizations performed methodical observations of the night sky, and astronomical artifacts have been found from much earlier periods. However, the invention of the telescope was required before astronomy was able to develop into a modern science. Historically, astronomy has included disciplines as diverse as astrometry celestial navigation , observational astronomy, the making of calendars , and even astrology , but professional astronomy is nowadays often considered to be synonymous with astrophysics . Since the 20th century, the field of professional astronomy split into

Amateur Telescope Making Historical information, ATM resources, and links to other ATM sites are found in this worthwhile site, produced by the Tallahassee Astronomical Society. The American Association of Variable Star Observers AAVSO has compiled 7.5 million observations of variable stars (those that change in brightness) since its founding in 1911. They coordinate, evaluate, and make data available to researchers. There's more information here on variables than most of us knew existed.
