Star Atlas Observing Tools Taki's Star Atlas to Japanese/“ú–{Œê‚Ö Written by Toshimi Taki January 1, 2005 February 5, 2005 October 5, 2005 April 10, 2013 March 27, 2016 1. My favorite star atlas had been "Norton's Star Atlas (Epoch 1950)". I decided to make a new star atlas for myself. (1) Large scale (2) Wide coverage with small distortion (3) Large overlap Amateur astronomers will welcome the new star atlas. Taki's Star Atlas was introduced in June 2005 issue of Sky & Telescope. Mr. Dr. I will welcome your comments or suggestions for improvement. 2. 3. All the necessary data are available via Internet. [1] D. 4. All files are in pdf format and ppt format. 5. (1) Prepare a sheet of cardboard with a little larger size than A4 An example of the completed handy maps is shown in the photographs below.

But if you want to test it out, you could install it with the latest Debian installer image to an USB stick: This is the Alpha 6 test release for Debian Stretch (so expect a few glitches). Reply to: References: live dvd debian astroFrom: delrieu jamy <jamy.delrieu@cccla.fr> Dark Side of the Earth 200 miles above Earth's surface, astronaut Dave Wolf -- rocketing through the blackness of Earth's shadow at 5 miles a second -- floated out of the Mir Space Station on his very first spacewalk. In this short, he describes the extremes of light and dark in space, relives a heart-pounding close call, and shares one of the most tranquil moments of his life. When we were putting together our live show In the Dark, Jad and Robert called up Dave Wolf to ask him if he had any stories about darkness. And boy, did he. Dave told us two stories that became the finale of our show. Back in late 1997, Dave Wolf was on his first spacewalk, to perform work on the Mir (the photo to the right was taken during that mission, courtesy of NASA.). Out in blackness of space, the contrast between light and dark is almost unimaginably extreme -- every 45 minutes, you plunge between absolute darkness on the night-side of Earth, and blazing light as the sun screams into view.

2 Joannes Hevelius Firmamentum Sobiescianum sive Uranographia Il Firmamentum Sobiescianum, sive uranographia, in Prodromus astronomiae, viene stampato a Danzica nel 1690. Hevelius, possedendo una tipografia, lo progetta in proprio, preoccupandosi di incidere personalmente le tavole in rame. Degli atlanti dell’epoca d’oro, il Firmamentum è senzaltro il più raro e il più bello. L'atlante comprende cinquantasei tavole dove sono distribuite 1564 stelle; alle costellazioni tolemaiche ne vengono affiancate undici nuove, amplificando notevolmente la tendenza, che si stava affermando in quei tempi, di affollare il firmamento con personaggi nuovi, spesso creati per godere del favore del personaggio politico al quale la costellazione veniva dedicata. L'autore colloca le stelle seguendo i dati prodotti da proprie osservazioni integrati da quelli tratti dalle Tabulae Rudolphinae, pubblicate da Keplero nel 1627 utilizzando le osservazioni effettuate da Ticho Brahe.

REBROADCAST: Space Celebrate the 35th anniversary of the launch of Voyager 2 (it rocketed off Earth on 8/20/77 carrying a copy of the Golden Record), and tip your hat to the Mars rover Curiosity as it kicks off its third week on the red planet, with a rebroadcast of one our favorite episodes: Space. We've been space-crazy the past few weeks here at Radiolab -- from cheering on the scientifically epic landing of the Mars rover earlier this month, to staying up late to watch the Perseid meteor showers, to reliving a stomach-churning spacewalk with an astronaut in our live show In the Dark. We've been happily turning our thoughts and gazes skyward all summer long. So before the nights get too chilly, grab a blanket, cue up Space, and stare into that vast, glittering, perspective-shaking darkness with us.
