Date: 18 October 2014 12:43:58 BST
Hi all,
ˆàˆàˆà
1.ˆàSpecial Lawrence Krauss lecture at QUB, 22 October: "Cosmic Connection: from the Big Bang to life on Earthˆàand Beyond."
(This lecture is now fully booked. BUT you can get your name put on the waiting list for cancellations, no-shows etc.ˆàˆàGo to http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/, and the top news link, beside the book snapshotˆà
ˆàˆà Taking advantage of the visit to Belfast by world famous cosmologist Lawrence Krauss (seeˆàearlier bulletin), the IAA is teaming up with the Astrophysics Research Centre at QUB (to which sincere thanks are due)ˆàto present a public lecture by himˆàon 22 October.ˆàˆà
ˆàˆàˆàTime 7.30 p.m., inˆàLarmor Lecture Theatre, QUB. Free admission but by email ticket application only.ˆà
ˆàˆàˆà Lawrence Krauss is a renowned cosmologist, and author of many best-selling books such as "The Fifth Essence" (Dark Matter); "The Physics of Star Trek"; "A Universe From Nothing"; "Quintessence, The Search For Missing Mass In The Universe", "Beyond Star Trek"; "Atom: An Odyssey from the Big Bang to Life on Earth...and Beyond"; and many articles in various science journals. He is also the ONLY physicist to have received awards from all three of the major American Physics Societies. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_M._Krauss.
ˆàˆà By coincidence, this story on dark matter broke recently: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/09/140904121241.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fspace_time+%28Space+%26+Time+News+--+ScienceDaily%29. Intuitively, Iˆàlike it, although the science is of course totally beyond me!
ˆà
2. Large Active Sunspot: A large and active sunspotˆàhas emerged over the Sun'sˆàSE limb.ˆàA fewˆàdays ago this active region unleashed multiple flares and hurled a massive CME over the edge of the Sun.ˆà If these eruptions continue, solar activity could sharply increase in the days ahead as the sunspot turns to face Earth.ˆà Visit http://spaceweather.com for photos and updates.
ˆàˆà REAL-TIME SOLAR FLARE ALERTS are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
3. ISS Visible in Evening Sky. The ISS continuesˆàitsˆàseries of evening passes over Irelandˆàuntil 25ˆàOctober, visible in the evening skyˆàfrom about the time of early twilight. Full details of passes for your location, and lots of other information, are available on the excellent free site: www.heavens-above.com.
ˆà
4. Orionid Meteors, Oct 21-22. This shower, caused by tiny particle remnants of Halley's Comet, will peak on the early evening of 21 October, with a ZHR of 10-20. The Moon will be out of the way, so conditions are good. The radiant is near Betelgeuse. Also see

ˆà
5. 'Galileo' at Market Place Theatre, Armagh: Thurˆà23 OCT
After a successful tour of the US, and a sold-out run at the Brighton Fringe Festival, RSC veteran Tim Hardy brings his solo show òÀØThe Trials Of GalileoòÀÙ to the Market Place. òÀØThe Trials Of GalileoòÀÙ focuses on the events surrounding his trial for heresy in 1633. Galileo's tragedy was a mistaken belief that all he had to do was show the church his reasoning and his evidence and the church would fall in behind him. He understood the science better than any man alive, but never grasped the politics. Until it was too late. Book at the Theatre.
ˆà
6. Large Partial Solar Eclipse, USA, 23 Oct:
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2014/17oct_sunseteclipse/. The eclipse will not be visible at all on this side of the Atlantic, but you can probably watch it on-line.
ˆà
7. Hallowe'en events at Armagh Planetarium.
Lots of events including a telescope night, rocket launching, etc on Tuesday 28 October. Starshows must be pre-booked.ˆàSee www.armaghplanet.com for details.
ˆà
8. Nov 8-9 Science Week events in Dublin:
The makers of The Festival of Curiosity are celebratingˆàScience Week 2014ˆàin Dublin by transforming Smock Alley Theatre into a curiosity filled hub with someˆàvery curious family events and shows, including Dr. Niamh Shaw with MY PLACE IN SPACE, a lively talk and show which is perfect for young curious minds to find their place in space!ˆàAlso, on Thursday Nov 13th at 7.30pm: join us as we delve into the future of space travel with special guests including former NASA Astronaut Greg Johnsonˆàand Prof.ˆàIan Robertson. More details later, when available. Smock Alley Theatre is on the edge of Temple Bar, just S of the Liffey.
ˆà
9. IAA 40th Anniversary Dinner: 28 Nov. ADVANCE NOTICE: As this year marks the 40th anniversary of the IAA in its present form (it was originally the Belfast Centre of the Irish Astronomical Society), we're having a special celebratory dinner. This will be on Friday 28 November, at the Stormont Pavilion. We have secured a VERY good value deal, for a 4-course dinner, plus wine if wanted, at an unbelievable price. We're still finalising the menu options, and then we'll know the final price.
ˆàˆà We also hope to have some nostalgic memorabilia, and an after-dinner speech by a VIP astronomer, so it promises to be a great evening!
ˆàˆà More details in next bulletin, but mark your diaries now. Provisional start time about 7.30 p.m.
ˆà
10. ARCHAEOASTRONOMY TRIP TO NEWGRANGE and KNOWTH, 2015, These trips have proved so popular that as soon as I got back from the last one,ˆàStranmillis UniversityˆàCollege Institute of LifeLong Learning asked me to lead another one next spring!ˆàˆàLike the last one, the next trip willˆàinclude a visit to the Knowth Tomb as well. It has the largest collection of Megalithic art anywhere in Europe in one single site, some of which is reckoned to be astronomical. Booking for thus very popular, non-technical trip will open later, but if you want to go, note the date in your diary: Sat 9 May. More details when the new brochure comes out.
ˆà
11. Astronomy & Astrophysics Research Scholarships, NUIG: See http://www.nuigalway.ie/hardiman-scholarships/ˆàApplications close 21 November.
ˆà
12. Further to IAAˆàlecture by Prof Don Kurtz:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2787063/Hubble-maps-temperatures-extreme-exoplanet-finds-winds-howling-speed-sound-days-hot-melt-steel-temperatures-plummet-1-000-degrees-Fahrenheit-night.htmlˆàand: Temperature and water vapour mapped on exoplanet http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141009141450.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Ftop_news%2Ftop_science+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Top+Science+News%29ˆà We got an exclusiveˆàpreview of these discoveriesˆàin the fantastic lecture by Prof Don Kurtz at the last IAA meeting! And here's a link to a similar lecture he gave some time agoˆàˆàhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX7wlprvlFc
ˆà
13.ˆàIAA Observing Nights at Delamont Country Park
These very popular weekendˆàobserving sessionsˆàhave started again with some very successful viewing. Delamont is well signposted off the A22 just South of Killyleagh, (North of Downpatrick)ˆàCo Down. They are suitable for anyone, but are aimed especially at beginners.
We bring our own large telescopes; bring your own if you have a portable one.
ˆàˆàThe eventsˆàwork like this: If it's clear on the Friday night, the event goes ahead. If not, we try again on the Saturday night. If both are cloudy, we try again on the following weekend, same procedure. To check if it's going ahead, check the IAA website: www.irishastro.org up to 6.0 p.m.ˆàon each day. Dates forˆànext session:ˆàIf cloudy, we'll try again on the next date on the list.òÀæ
ˆà
ˆà
14. FAEROES ECLIPSE TRIP: The next Total Solar Eclipse visible on Earth will be on 20ˆàMarch, 2015.
This total eclipse trackˆàwill only cross land on Earth in two places: the Faeroes, and Svalbard in the far North Atlantic. IAA member and eclipse author Dr Kate Russo will be leading a tour to observe this eclipse in the Faeroes. I have the honour to be the 'eclipse/astronomy/aurora expert'ˆà on the trip, on which we hope to be able to get good views of the aurora as well as the eclipse itself. Seeˆàˆàhttp://www.independenttraveller.com/experiences/photography/astronomy/total-solar-eclipse-2015-faroe-islands. You can also find out more details on the eclipse blog site: http://independenttraveller.com/blog/
15. COMETˆàNEAR-MISS WITH MARS,ˆàOct 19:ˆàsee http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141013160724.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fspace_time+%28Space+%26+Time+News+--+ScienceDaily%29ˆàandˆàhttp://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141010111652.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fspace_time+%28Space+%26+Time+News+--+ScienceDaily%29,ˆàand http://spaceweather.com for latest images.ˆàComet Siding Spring will pass 134,000 kilometresˆàfrom Mars onˆàOctober 19. The neutral-gasˆàcoma of the comet, whichˆàextends for more thanˆà100,000 kilometres in all directions from the nucleus,ˆàmay well interact with the atmosphere of the planet. Ions mayˆàextend away than that, and the tailˆàis millions ofˆàkilometres long.ˆàAs a precaution, the orbits of the Martian orbiters have been altered to place them on the safe side of the planet during the most dangerous part of the encounter, which will occur whenˆàMars' path through the comet's tail reaches the region ofˆàhighest dust density, about 100 minutes after closest approach.ˆà
ˆàNevertheless, every effort will be made to get good observations from the comet from all the spacecraft on or near the Red Planet. Siding Spring is a long-period comet on its first visit toˆàthe inner Solar System andˆàspacecraft designed to studyˆàMarsˆàup-closeˆàare not idea forˆàgood observations ofˆàthe tinyˆàcomet nucleus muchˆàfurther away.ˆà
ˆàˆà The comet'sˆàcomaˆàof dust and ice particles are the main hazard for the orbiters, but will not affect theˆàrovers on the surface which will be protected by Mars' atmosphere. Even though it's much thinner than ours, theˆàtiny particles in the comaˆàwill burn up without reaching theˆàground.
Eachˆàspacecraftˆàwill observe the comet as best as possible using its respective instruments. Mostˆàattention will be on the comet's coma -- its size, composition, the size of the particles,ˆàhow itˆàvaries with time, and the jets from the nucleus.ˆàThey will also studyˆàtheˆàcomet's effect on the Martian atmosphere. Andˆàone spacecraft may possibly be able to image the tiny nucleus ofˆàthe comet, only 1-2 kilometres across,ˆàas it passes byˆàatˆàthe challengingˆàrelative speed of 57 km/s.ˆàBut most instrumentsˆàwill be able to see the coma or the coma'sˆàeffects on the atmosphere.
The spacecraft involved are: 1. Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Has 3 cameras plusˆàan imaging spectrometer and a radar sounder. 2. Mars Express. Will use HRSC camera andˆàultraviolet/infrared atmospheric spectrometer. 3. Mars Odyssey. Will use THEMIS thermal emissionˆàimaging system. 4. MAVEN, arriving 2014. Has a suite of instruments devoted toˆàMars' upper atmosphere, but no camera. 5. Mars Orbiter Mission, arriving 2014. Has a varied instrumentˆàsuite but not sureˆàif it will be performing Siding Springˆàobservations.
ˆà
16. TAMING THE ELEMENTS LECTURE SERIES, Ulster Museum, 21 Octoberˆàˆàˆàˆà The lectures will take place on consecutive Tuesday evenings, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the Lecture Theatre on the ground floor.ˆàSome of these talks will be of interest to astronomers. ˆàThis is a free event òÀÓ but to secure your place please use the Buy Tickets button on the web page. For further information please ring 028 9044 0000. Opening hours are Tue-Sun 10am-5pm.
ˆàSee: http://www.nmni.com/um/What-s-on/Current-Exhibitions/Elements---From-Actinium-to-Zirconium
ˆàThere are seven lectures; the second one in particular will be of interest to astronomers:
"ˆà2. The origin of the elements 7:00 - 9:00pm Tuesday 28th October
ˆàˆàˆàˆà Discover how common elements formed in stars, supernova and the Big Bang help to answer some of the big questions in modern astronomy. See e.g. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/09/140911163941.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Fspace_time+%28Space+%26+Time+News+--+ScienceDaily%29
ˆà
ˆà
17. ROSETTA's probe to land onˆàComet on 12 November.ˆàThe Rosetta spacecraftˆàcontinues toˆà'orbit'ˆàroundˆàComet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, sending back more jawdropping photos.ˆàAfter studying the 'binary' surface inˆàgreat detail,ˆàthe site toˆàland a probe on the surface has now been chosen.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2792219/how-did-mysterious-pyramid-form-67p-rosetta-images-reveal-striking-80ft-structure.htmlˆà But it's nothing like a pyramid. - Look instead at the shadows of the other 'boulders', in the second photo,ˆàto its bottom left and upper right (about 8.0 and 2.0 on clock face) - they have even longer / more pointed shadows. It's just slightly bigger than the others.
