Rosalba Perna is the winner of the 2010 SIGRAV Prize. SIGRAV is the acronym for the Italian Society of General Relativity and Gravitational Physics. The prize is given every 2 years to an Italian astrophysicist below the age of 40 who has distinguished himself/herself for work related to gravity. Rosalba is being honored for her work on neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational lensing. This is considered to be one of the most prestigious Italian prizes in astrophysics. Rosalba will receive the prize at the SIGRAV 2010 conference in October, where she will also deliver an invited plenary talk. Juri Toomre has been named as the 2010 winner of the Hazel Barnes Prize. The Hazel Barnes Prize is the most prestigious faculty award presented by the University of Colorado at Boulder. It was established in 1991 by former Chancellor James Corbridge in honor of Philosophy Professor Emerita Hazel Barnes to recognize "the enriching interrelationship between teaching and research." Recipients of this award are regionally and nationally recognized, tenured faculty members who are not only outstanding teachers, but who also have distinguished records in research and scholarship.

Dyson Sphere FAQ by Anders Sandberg with ideas and additions from: Index What is a Dyson Sphere? Who is Dyson? Was Dyson First? Why build a Dyson sphere? ... What has been written about dyson Spheres? What is a Dyson Sphere? The Dyson sphere (or Dyson shell) was originally proposed in 1959 by the astronomer Freeman Dyson in "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation" in Science as a way for an advanced civilisation to utilise all of the energy radiated by their sun. It is an artificial sphere the size of an planetary orbit. The sphere would consist of a shell of solar collectors or habitats around the star, so that all (or at least a significant amount) energy will hit a receiving surface where it can be used. This would create a huge living space and gather enormous amounts of energy. A Dyson sphere in the solar system, with a radius of one AU would have a surface area of at least 2.72e17 km^2, around 600 million times the surface area of the Earth. The sun has a energy output of around 4e26 W, of which most would be available to do useful work. The original proposal simply assumed there would be enough solar collectors around the star to absorb the starlight, not that they would form a continuous shell. Rather, the shell would consist of independently orbiting structures, around a million kilometres thick and containing more than 1e5 objects. But various science fiction authors seem to have misinterpreted the concept to mean a solid shell enclosing the star, usually having an inhabitable surface on the inside, and this idea was so compelling that it has been the main use of the term in science fiction. The earliest appearance of this version seems to be Robert Silverberg's novel

96. Titius-Bode Law Overview of the Titius-Bode Law. http://milan.milanovic.org/math/english/titius/titius.html

Fibonacci numbers and the Pascal Triangle Titius-Bode Law The Titius-Bode Law or Rule is the observation that orbits of planets in the solar system follow a simple arithmetic rule quite closely. It was discovered in 1766 by Johann Daniel Titius and "published" (without attribution) in 1772 by Johann Elert Bode, thus the name. Bode was greatly interested in the new planet discovered by William Herschel in March 1781. While Herschel always referred to this planet as "Georgium Sidus" to honor King George III of England, Bode proposed the name "Uranus" which was soon adopted by the rest of the world. Bode collected virtually all observations of this planet by various astronomers, published many of them in the Astronomisches Jahrbuch, and found that Uranus had been observed before its discovery on a number of occasions, among them an observation of Tobias Mayer from 1756 and earliest by Flamsteed, in December 1690, cataloged as "star" 34 Tauri. In 1801 Bode published his famous and popular star atlas, Uranographia, where he reproduced or introduced a number of new and strange constellaitons, including "Officina Typographica," "Apparatus Chemica," "Globus Aerostaticus," "Honores Frederici," "Felis," and "Custos Messium," all of which have not survived and vanished from modern star charts.

97. Freeman J. Dyson, Gravity Is Cool, Or, Why Our Universe Is Hospitable To Life Text of the 1999 Oppenheimer lecture at UC Berkeley given by professor Freeman Dyson on the origin of life and other subjects. http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/20/035.html

Documents menu Gravity is Cool, or, Why our Universe is Hospitable to Life By Freeman J. Dyson, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, Oppenheimer lecture, given at the University of California, Berkeley, California, 9 March 2000 1. Gravity is Cool First I would like to say thankyou to Professor Chemla and to everyone else who was involved in inviting me here. Thankyou for your hospitality, and for giving me the chance to meet and talk with your students and faculty. I am sorry that my visit is so brief that I met only a few of you. The existence of life depends crucially on the fact that time has these two faces, the quiet and the violent, cleanly separated from each other. The violent face created the stuff that we are made of. The quiet face sustains us and allows us to evolve. We need to understand the reasons why these faces exist. There are two main reasons, one superficial and one fundamental. The superficial reason is that the universe is extravagantly large. Distances are so great that accidental collisions hardly ever happen. This is why the sun with its family of planets can run like a perfect clock, with orbits undisturbed by close encounters with alien sta,rs, for billions of years. We are protected from cataclysms by the sheer size of the interstellar spaces. The best popular account of the science that explains how the universe can be friendly to life is a book

98. Welcome To The Electric Universe! Physics knows four forces; 20th-century scientists were convinced that one of those, the electric force, played no macroscopic role in the Universe; site explains why that is incorrect. http://www.the-electric-universe.info/

Welcome to the Electric Universe Gravity attracts. But only the electric force can repulse huge masses in jets, solar wind, eruptions. It also forms matter to filaments. Filaments and jets are in the fifth state of matter which can be by orders more energetic than plasma. The model Electric Universe is a totally new and contradiction-free astrophysics. In plasma-stars the heat motion pushes the light electrons faster outwards than inwards. The much slower ions remain in and near the core. The photon-pressure and the neutrinos also make the core positive and the surface negative.

99. THE TITIUS-BODE NUMBER SEQUENCE DECIPHERED Compares earth orbit to other planets using the Astronomical Unit as a measurement. http://bellsouthpwp.net/j/o/josephconklin/jw/tb/titius.html

The Titius-Bode Number Sequence Deciphered by Joseph Conklin PART I Introduction: The Astronomical Unit (AU) I n the 18th century, two astronomers, Johann Titius and Johann Bode, reported a numerical sequence into which the sizes of the planetary orbits fit. By using the size of the earth's orbit as a standard, called an Astronomical Unit, or AU, astronomers recalculate the other orbital sizes in proportion to it. Titius and Bode noticed the following pattern- they started with 0, then took 3 and began doubling- 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, 384, 768. Then they added 4 to each number and divided by 10, and the result approximated the planetary orbits in AU's. Table 1 shows the average distances from the sun of the 9 planets and the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. (Note that these are modern figures. In Titius' and Bode's time, the asteroid belt, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were as yet undiscovered.) TABLE 1 Planet Distance from Sun in miles AU Titius-Bode Rule Mercury Venus Earth Mars Asteroid Belt Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto Textbooks usually remark on the Titius-Bode sequence casually, noting that some astronomers dismiss it as a chance mathematical pattern. In any event, note the following points:
