43. IAYC - International Astronomical Youth Camps Annual European space camp for amateur astronomers aged 16 - 24. During three weeks 70 participants work together in small units on research projects relating to astronomy and science. http://www.iayc.org/

Solar Eclipse 2006 Astropictures Sponsors Suzy and the earthlings ... About this site Sunday 31st October 2010 11:18:31 AM Time left until IAYC 2011: Discover the spirit of IAYC You have come to the web site of the IAYC, the International Astronomical Youth Camp. The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) is a three-week long summer camp aiming to promote knowledge on astronomy and related sciences in a unique international atmosphere. Each year, the IAYC takes place at a different European location. What makes IAYC so special? The IAYC is different from most astronomical camps. At first, this is because of its international character: about seventy people from many different countries live together for three weeks. They are between 16 and 24 years old and share a common interest: astronomy. That is why every participant, with his or her own cultural background, forms an important piece in the complex puzzle of camp life. Secondly, the camp is different in the way you work, or learn. The IAYC is not like staying in a hotel and following a summer school or an astronomy course. During the three weeks of IAYC, you will carry out your own small research project. You will therefore not just accept facts, but you will discover them yourself, or together with people with whom you will work together. The success of the camp depends on your contribution! Who organises the IAYCs?

Pomona Valley Amateur Astronomers From acting president Joe Hillberg - "We need a volunteer to become PVAA President!" Club Calendar The PVAA is a group of about 100 amateur astronomers who enjoy the mystery and beauty of the night sky and wish to share it with each other and with local schools and the community. The club comes together twice every month for scheduled activities. We hold our general meeting in the evening on the Friday closest to the full Moon. Star Parties are planned for the weekend closest to the new Moon. The public is welcome at all Star Parties as are visitors to our general meetings. Besides regular activities, the club also holds occasional special events such as planet and eclipse observations and trips to local observatories. Members receive our monthly newsletter, Nightwatch, which keeps us informed about current club activities. Members also receive Reflector, the quarterly publication of The Astronomical League. For a current activity schedule, please see the Club Calendar.

michielb.nl projects maya astronomy / astronomy Maya Astronomy The Maya were quite accomplished astronomers. Their primary interest, in contrast to "western" astronomers, were Zenial Passages when the Sun crossed over the Maya latitudes. On an annual basis the sun travels to its summer solstice point, or the latitude of 23-1/3 degrees north. Most of the Maya cities were located south of this latitude, meaning that they could observe the sun directly overhead during the time that the sun was passing over their latitude. This happened twice a year, evenly spaced around the day of solstice. The Maya could easily determine these dates, because at local noon, they cast no shadow. Zenial passage observations are possible only in the Tropics and were quite unknown to the Spanish conquistadors who descended upon the Yucatan peninsula in the 16th century. The Maya had a god to represented this position of the Sun called the Diving God. Venus The Sun The Moon The Ecliptic ... Contact Updated: July 22 2005 web michielb.nl

You will learn about John Dobson and his reflector telescope, as well as how these telescopes work. You’ll learn the step-by-step method for grinding and polishing the mirror, building the mount, and assembling a complete telescope. More Home Being a Sidewalk Astronomer isn't really about "joining" anything - it's about embracing a philosophy and acting on it. Ask John Dobson, founder of the Sidewalk Astronomers, how he became interested in astronomy and he'll answer, "I was born!" People have a natural fascination with the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, but to most it's something they read about in a magazine or see on television. We stop people on sidewalks and let them see the craters of the Moon, the moons of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, or the spots on the Sun. For just a moment, they have a personal connection with the universe around them, and sometimes life seems a little better after that. We call it "urban guerilla astronomy."
