    Extractions: More pictures of Mercury Here Print this information out Here Quick Links::: Observing Mercury Key Characteristics High Density Being the planet closest to the Sun, Mercury (the Messenger of the gods) guards its secrets very carefully. With a mean heliocentric distance of just 0.387 AU (about 57.8 million km) and a orbit time of just under 88 days, it is not very easy to observe from Earth and never appears more than 27° from the Sun (less than the angle made by the hands of a watch at 1 o'clock). Observing Mercury Mosaic of Mercury Credit: NASA/JpL The main problem with observing Mercury from ground-based telescopes is that because it never strays far from the Sun, it can only be observed during the day, when scattered sunlight impedes clear views of the planet, or just before sunrise and after sunset, when the light we recieve from it must pass through 10 times as much atmospheric turbulence as when it is directly overhead. Unfortunately this means that even the best ground based telescopes get a worse view of it than humans can get of the moon with the naked eye each night.

    A brief history of the search for extrasolar planets, the findings and the future implications.

    Extractions: PREFACE SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION SECTION 2: BARNARD'S STAR AND VAN DE KAMP'S PLANETS: THE BEGINNING SECTION 3: A GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE EXTRASOLAR PLANETARY WORK RECENTLY IN PROGRESS ... APPENDIX This web page is an attempt to provide a review of humankind's quest for the discovery of planets outside our Solar System. In addition, a series of major web sites dealing with the search for extrasolar planets are listed. They are as follows: In addition to the above sites, NASA's Origins Program is attempting to answer an important question (among others), Are there worlds like the Earth around nearby stars? If so, are they habitable, and is life as we know it present there? Our solar system exists. This is an irrefutable fact. Because of our solar systems existence, the question that begets itself time and time again is whether or not planets exist around stars other than our own. Based on the size of our universe and the laws of probability, the odds are excellent that our solar system is not unique in the universe. To better appreciate the odds, it is useful to consider the size of the universe . At the present time it is estimated that 50 billion galaxies , the largest of which contain thousands of billions of stars, are visible to modern telescopes including the

89. UStAPS -- University Of St.Andrews Planet Search
    Describes several projects aiming to detect extra-solar planets.  
    http://star-www.st-and.ac.uk/~kdh1/ustaps.html
    
    Extractions: Former students: Rachel Street Yianni Tsapras Colin Snodgrass HOT JUPITER SHADOWS: Doppler surveys show that 1% of nearby main sequence stars host "Hot Jupiters" in 3-4 day 0.05 AU orbits. 10% of these will have orbits close enough to edge-on for the planet to transit in front of the star. Thus 1 in 1000 main sequence stars should "wink" every 3-4 days. Jupiter transiting the Sun produces a 1% wink easy to detect by differential CCD photometry. Lower mass main sequence stars are smaller, making their winks even deeper. There are many transit searches underway worldwide. St.Andrews is pursuing both Deep and Wide transit searches.

    The TEP network is a group of collaborators searching for Transits of Extrasolar Planets.

    Extractions: The TEP network is a group of collaborators searching for T ransits of E xtrasolar P lanets. Our major effort is the observation of the eclipsing binary star CM-Draconis for signs of the presence of planets using the transit method . For a quick introduction to the project, read the Poster from the JENAM-95 conference . A technical introduction is given in an article in Astronomy and Astrophysics (1998, Vol 338, p 479, preprint in postscript pdf Note 30 Dec. 2002: Since the TEP project finished in 2001, this site is not being updated any longer Follow-up observations of the remaining 3 planet candidates (see below, in entry for Sep 2000) were taken during 2001. While two of these candidates were discarded when no transits showed up during follow-up observations, for one candidate a transit-like feature appared right on time. We got excited about this, while keeping in mind that the probability for random noise to create such a feature is about 3% (this is described in more detail in Doyle et al, 2000, Astrophysical Journal, 535, 338). Indeed, during two further follow-up observations, the feature did not show up at predicted transit times and that candidate had to be discarded as well. Consequently, the TEP project did not discover any planet, but it remains as the first observational project that probed the presence of terrestrial-sized planets around any star.

93. SciZone - Ontario Science Centre: Pluto: Planet Or Not?
    Brief nontechnical introduction to Pluto and similar objects such as Sedna and Quaoar, and a summary of the features that make Pluto different than the other planets. Includes a capsule summary of the arguments for and against calling Pluto a planet.  
    http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/scizone/brainz/hamilton/pluto_planet_or_not.a
    
    Extractions: In 1930, American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh made an amazing discovery: a tiny planet smaller than our moon orbiting the sun almost 5 billion kilometres away. It was named Pluto for the Roman God of the underworld, and has since been considered the ninth and final planet of our Solar System. But over the past few years, scientists have been discovering more and more objects like Pluto in the distant reaches of our Solar System. Some occupy very similar orbits, and are known as "Plutinos". In October of 2002, the biggest of these until that point was found: an object over half Pluto's diameter that astronomers have since dubbed " Quaoar " (pronounced kwa-whar) after a Native American god. Just last fall another, even larger, object was found further away from Pluto, named "

    Review of the movie.  
    http://www.all-reviews.com/videos-2/planet-of-apes.htm
    
    Extractions: 1 star out of 4 "You damn dirty apes!" That's just one of the inadvertenty hilarious lines from PLANET OF THE APES that's taken on a comedic context over time. No one back then seemed to realize how over-the- top Charlton Heston's acting style was, but it shows now, particularly in this "Mystery Science Theater 3000" wannabe that was taken for a film masterpiece in its time, actually winning one Oscar (for makeup, no less) and being nominated for a couple others. It also spawned multiple sequels like Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape From the Planet of the Apes, Return of the Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Escape from the Return of the Planet of the Apes, Planet of the Apes: The Next Generation, Police Academy of the Apes... the list goes on.

    Extractions: "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!" PLANET OF THE APES is an outstanding science-fiction film that spawned four sequels, an animated cartoon series, a live-action TV series, bubble-gum cards, Halloween masks, and a rash of plastic models. The original film is still quite an achievement. PLANET OF THE APES is a success on many levels, with a witty, intelligent script by Rod Serling and an outstanding, hot-tempered, athletic performance from Charlton Heston makes it the number one SciFi classic for many. Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter are excellent as a pair of sympathetic ape scientist and doctor, respectively, with John Chambers's superb latex makeup allowing them a full range of expressive facial gestures. Chambers won a special Oscar for his extraordinary makeup work. None of the sequels (BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES)
