How Do Astronomers Learn About the Universe?: Transcript


The stars and other objects in space are very far from Earth Only a few solar system objects are close enough to be explored with probes Astronomers rely on electromagnetic waves to gain information about the universe. Astronomy: The original Science. Imagine that it’s 5,000 years ago, and you are alive….. Clocks and modern calendars have not yet been invented…. How would you know what time it is????. How would you know that your birthday is just a week away???. SIZE and Scale. Of The. Universe. What is your Cosmic Address?. Size and Scale of the Universe. # Street. City. State. Country. Continent. Hemisphere. . Planet. Orbit. Star?. …?. …. …. …. …. Finely-Tuned . for Life?. Allen . Hainline. Ratio Christi Philippines. www.OriginsDiscussion.info. omega_sw@yahoo.com. June 2, 2015. Does God Exist?. 2. Outline. More evidence. Objections to the argument from fine-tuning to design and God. Why do we believe in God?. Why do we believe?. As Christians, we believe because …. We are confident Jesus rose from the dead. We have experienced God’s presence in our lives. (fill in any other reasons) .

The universe is a big place, perhaps the biggest. . –Kurt Vonnegut. Cosmology. Cosmology is the study of the nature of the universe, how the universe began and how it will end, if it does. There is religious cosmology, and scientific cosmology. RADIO WAVES. HOW DO RADIO WAVES HELP ASTRONOMERS. Astronomers learn about a stars composition, structure and motion . MICROWAVES.

Astronomy. , derived from the Greek words for . star law. , is the scientific study of all objects beyond our world. . Astronomy is not a “stand-alone” science. It combines areas from a number of other fields, including mathematics, chemistry, geology, biology and physics. . This is the unique story of observing a total solar eclipse for no less than 74 consecutive minutes. On the summer morning of June 30, 1973, the Sun rises on the Canary Islands. But it is strangely indented by the Moon. The eclipse of the century has just begun. From the west, the lunar shadow rushes to the African coast at a velocity of over 2000 kilometers per hour. Astronomers on the ground will enjoy seven short minutes of total eclipse to study the solar corona - too short for Pierre Lena and seven scientists who board the Concorde 001 prototype, an extraordinary plane to become the first commercial supersonic aircraft. With Andre Turcat as chief pilot and a crew of five, at 17000 m altitude, the aircraft remains in the lunar shadow for 74 minutes, a record time of scientific observations not yetbeaten and allowing for exceptional measurements. Science, technology, aviation and history combine in the story of a unique human adventure aboard a legendary aircraft, illustrated with a rich and original iconography. It reflects the wonderful domains that science and technology can open, and the passion in the professions they offer. A must read for every eclipse chaser and fan of true scientific adventures.On the summer morning of June 30, 1973, the Sun rises on the Canary Islands. But it is strangely indented by the Moon.

From newborn galaxies to icy worlds and blazing quasars, a behind-the-scenes story of how Palomar Observatory astronomers unveiled our complex universe.Ever since 1936, pioneering scientists at Palomar Observatory in Southern California have pushed against the boundaries of the known universe, making a series of dazzling discoveries that changed our view of the cosmos: quasars, colliding galaxies, supermassive black holes, brown dwarfs, supernovae, dark matter, the never-ending expansion of the universe, and much more. In Cosmic Odyssey, astronomer Linda Schweizer tells the story of the men and women at Palomar and their efforts to decipher the vast energies and mysterious processes that govern our universe.Palomar was the Apollo mission of its era. The first images from the 200-inch George Ellery Hale telescope, commissioned in 1948 as the world\'s largest, generated as much excitement as images from the moon in 1969 and from the Hubble Space Telescope more recently. So far, Palomar\'s Big Eye and three other telescopes have yielded more than 75,000 telescope-nights of precious data. Schweizer takes readers behind the scenes of scientific discovery, mapping the often chaotic process of detours, dead ends, and serendipitous leaps of insight. Although her focus is on Palomar, she follows threads of discovery across the world to other teams and observatories. Based on more than one hundred interviews and enhanced by research in scientific journals, her account paints a fascinating picture of how discrete insights acquired over decades by researchers in a global community cascade, collide, and finally coalesce into the discoveries we come to accept as facts.
