Hubblecast 05: Hubble finds ring of dark matter

Posted by admin on February 16th, 2010 and filed under hubble | 21 Comments »

An international team of astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a ghostly ring of dark matter formed long ago during a colossal collision between two galaxy clusters. This is the first time that dark matter has been found with a distribution that differs substantially from the distribution of ordinary matter.

2012 REAL SCIENCE Nassim Haramein – THE MOVING SPIRALLING SOLAR SYSTEM

Posted by admin on January 16th, 2010 and filed under solarsystem | 10 Comments »

Nassim Haramein Explains how the Solar System is Moving in a Spiralling Circular motion around the Galaxy.
The Solar System is Billions of miles away from where it used to be, but this is never mentioned in Classroom Science or on the News.
We are moving into a part of the Galaxy we have never been in for Millions of years as part of a 228 Million Year Galactic Cycle.
Where we are in the Galaxy effects the physicality of the Solar System.
That is why we have Climatic Changes.
Yet the Corporate Funded Scientsts are actively covering this fact up.

Why ?????????

Meade Telescope

Posted by admin on October 18th, 2009 and filed under meade telescopes | 13 Comments »

For ages 8 and up

http://www.mastermindtoys.com/store/product.asp?product%5Fcode=76099&cat=18&brand=0&subcat=452

Introducing a high-quality, entry-level telescope that excels at sky and land viewing. Meade’s 70AZ-AR boasts the top-level imagery and smooth controls synonymous with all Meade optics — at a fraction of the cost of advanced telescopes. Featuring a capable 70mm objective lens, free StarLocator™ astro software and a classic, “long tube” refractor design, the 70AZ-AR is well equipped to obtain close-up details of hundreds of craters on the Moon, the rings of Saturn, the equatorial cloud belts of Jupiter and even bright, deep-space objects — plus, it makes a great terrestrial viewing scope. Best of all, it’s simple to use and sets up within minutes right out of the box.

High-quality Meade Optics – It’s 70mm diameter refractor x 700mm focal length captures 96 percent more light than a 50mm lens to provide clear, detailed images of celestial or terrestrial phenomena. The two-element, coated, achromatic objective lens is air-spaced and ground from grade-A crown & flint glass to reduce light-loss and improve the overall viewing experience.

Superior Altazimuth Mounting – Precision yoke-style, altazimuth mounting allows for smooth, slow motion control in altitude and azimuth. The 70AZ-AR is a revelation of mechanical precision and low-backlash manual motion that greatly facilitates quick object location and tracking.

StarLocator™ Astro Software – This essential software package displays more than 10,000 celestial objects — including galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, stars and planets — enabling even the beginner to locate and identify objects to observe with the telescope or to print out star charts. Compatible with Windows®.

Field Tripod – Includes aluminum, full-length adjustable tripod with accessory tray for convenient and simple set-up. Offers a solid, vibration-free platform for observation.

Specifications – 70mm diameter, 700mm (f/10) focal length altazimuth refractor; rack-and-pinion 1.25″ focuser with sleeve lock; altazimuth mount with variable-tension locks; two 1.25″ eyepieces (MA9mm and MA25mm) with rubber eyecups; diagonal mirror (hybrid) included; SmartFinder™ Red Dot viewfinder; StarLocator™ astro software; adjustable height accessory tray and aluminum tripod with flip locks. For included CD, computer requirements : Window 95, Pentium II and Windows media player. 16MB RAM and 15-60 MB hard disk space required.

Mars Moon And Sky Map Types

Posted by admin on September 30th, 2009 and filed under skymap | 1 Comment »

We recently released various out-of-this-world map tiles in the Google
Maps API: Mars, Moon, and Sky. The engineer responsible for them, Noel
Gorelick, talks about where the imagery came from, how to use them,
how to work with the coordinate conversions, and alternate projections
in maps.
