It's up to you to take advantage of all this, to show your fellow club members what amateur astronomy means to you. ... Over the coming year I will challenge AAAP members to think about how each of us can help the AAAP grow in the directions that matter most to each of us, to provide service to our club and community, and most of all help us all grow in amateur astronomy in a way that touches our...

... Сегодня: 10 апреля 2016 г. Не добившись успеха в поиске радиосигналов от инопланетных цивилизаций, ученые начали масштабный поиск оптических сигналов искусственного происхождения. 11 апреля 2006 года состоялось открытие нового телескопа в обсерватории Гарвардского университета. Это первый в мире оптический телескоп, разработанный специально для исследований в рамках проекта по поиску внеземных цивилизаций (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, SETI). ... Схема телескопа Optical SETI . ...

For example, practically instant punched hole of holes laser radiation many times over augments productivity of operation of the driller and besides essentially raises quality of this operation. ...

... Spacecraft that will search for planetary systems around 40 million stars and observe the largest explosions in the universe have been chosen as the next two missions in NASA's medium-class Explorer (MIDEX) program. ... The first mission, to be launched in 2003, is the Swift Gamma Ray Burst Explorer, a three-telescope space observatory for studying gamma ray bursts. ... During its three-year mission, Swift will also survey the sky for new black holes and other sources of cosmic gamma rays. ...

... Maps of six sources (0420+022, 0420-014, 1308+326, 1345+125, 1803+784, and DA 193) obtained with milliarcsecond resolution are presented and discussed, together with their broadband (1­22 GHz) spectra obtained on the RATAN­600 radio telescope at epochs close to those of the VLBI observations. ... The image (Fig. 5) shows that the source structure at 18 cm is compact, consisting of a VLBI core and two jet components, with the outer component lying 5 mas (30 pc) to the northwest of the core ( = 54 ). ...

We present a catalogue of galaxies for which spatially resolved data on their internal kinematics have been published; there is no apriori restriction regarding their morphological type. The catalogue lists the references to the articles where the data are published, as well as a coded description of these data: observed emission (E) or absorption (A) data, optical (O) or radio (R) data, velocity (V) or velocity dispersion (D), radial profile (1) or 2D field (2). ...
