81. Spanish Language Astronomy Materials Education Center

    Extractions: @import "/slmfiles/slm2.css"; Title: The Universe at Your Fingertips Publisher: Astronomical Society of the Pacific Junior High and High School A Collection of Hands-on Astronomy Activities in Spanish from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. More about The Universe at Your Fingertips We are often asked this question in Tucson, Arizona, a city with many Spanish-speaking residents located only 100 kilometers from Mexico. When the staff of the NOAO Educational Outreach Group searched on the web for Spanish language materials in science and astronomy, we were surprised at how few resources were easily found. With assistance from the National Science Foundation, we set out to remedy this situation. Recent effort by NOAO to develop cross-cultural educational outreach programs between the U.S. and Chile has cultivated some new connections with Spanish-speaking science teachers and district science coordinators in both Tucson and in La Serena, Chile (where some NOAO telescopes are located.) We decided to build on these relationships and programs, and with their help and advice, we have created a bilingual reference to enable educators to find and purchase high-quality materials that have been produced in Spanish. Our main aim was to find first-rate astronomy materials in Spanish, but along the way we found plenty of physics, chemistry, optics, and earth science educational materials too.

82. The History Of Gamma-ray Astronomy - Introduction

    Extractions: For Educators Gamma-Ray Bursts Booklet Show me related lesson plans The History of Gamma-ray Astronomy Long before experiments could detect gamma-rays emitted by cosmic sources, scientists had known that the Universe should be producing such high energy photons . Hard work by several brilliant scientists had shown us that a number of different processes which were occurring in the Universe would result in gamma-ray emission. These processes included cosmic ray interactions with interstellar gas, supernova explosions, and interactions of energetic electrons with magnetic fields . In the 1960s, we finally developed the ability to actually detect these emissions and we have been looking at them ever since!

    Extractions: This is a "mini-net" of pages that explores our solar system, stars, extra-solar planets, the theories about the past and future of the universe, and human exploration of space. This site is the Regular version; there is also an Advanced version for people who want more in-depth information. Brief Galactic Overview The Milky Way is a galaxy that contains at least 200 billion stars. It is an average-size galaxy of the barred spiral class. This means that there is a central bulge, with arms, which extend for many light-years *. However, the term "barred" means that its central bulge is elongated; in the Milky Way, this elongation is at a ratio of 2:3, meaning that it is about one and a half times as long as it is wide. The Milky Way has five distinct arms protruding from the central bulge. Their names are as follows: the Cygnus Arm, Centarus Arm, Sagittarius Arm, Orion Arm, and Perseus Arm. Our solar system lies in the Orion Arm.

More (press release) A team of astronomers that includes the University of Hawaii's Nader Haghighipour has announced the discovery of a planet that could have liquid water on its surface. The planet, which is probably 30 percent larger than Earth, was discovered using one of the telescopes of the W. M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea. It orbits a relatively small star, Gliese 581, that is 20 light-years from Earth in the constellation Libra. More (press release) The University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS PS1 telescope on Haleakala has discovered an asteroid that will come within 4 million miles of Earth in mid-October. The object is about 150 feet in diameter and was discovered in images acquired on September 16, when it was about 20 million miles away.
