	Astrophysics is Easy!: An Introduction for the Amateur Astronomer (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) By: Michael D. Inglis. Astrophysics is often - with some justification - regarded as incomprehensible without at least degree-level mathematics. Consequently, many amateur astronomers skip the math, and miss out on the fascinating fundamentals of the subject. In Astrophysics Is Easy! Mike Inglis takes a quantitative approach to astrophysics that cuts through the incomprehensible mathematics, and explains the basics of astrophysics in accessible terms. The reader can view objects under discussion with commercial amateur equipment.

	The Amateur Astronomer's Introduction to the Celestial Sphere By: William Millar. This introduction to the night sky is for amateur astronomers who desire a deeper understanding of the principles and observations of naked-eye astronomy. It covers topics such as terrestrial and astronomical coordinate systems, stars and constellations, the relative motions of the sky, sun, moon and earth leading to an understanding of the seasons, phases of the moon, and eclipses. Topics are discussed and compared for observers located in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Written in a conversational style, only addition and subtraction are needed to understand the basic principles and a more advanced mathematical treatment is available in the appendices. Each chapter contains a set of review questions and simple exercises to reinforce the reader's understanding of the material. The last chapter is a set of self-contained observation projects to get readers started with making observations about the concepts they have learned. William Charles Millar, currently Professor of Astronomy at Grand Rapids Community College in Michigan, has been teaching the subject for almost twenty years and is very involved with local amateur astronomy groups. Millar also belongs to The Planetary Society and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and has traveled to Europe and South America to observe solar eclipses. Millar holds a Masters degree in Physics from Western Michigan University. Book Title: The Amateur Astronomer's Introduction to the Celestial Sphere. Author: William Millar.

	The New Amateur Astronomer (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series) By: Martin Mobberley. Amateur astronomy has changed beyond recognition in less than two decades. The reason is, of course, technology. Affordable high-quality telescopes, computer-controlled 'go to' mountings, autoguiders, CCD cameras, video, and (as always) computers and the Internet, are just a few of the advances that have revolutionized astronomy for the twenty-first century. Martin Mobberley first looks at the basics before going into an in-depth study of what’s available commercially. He then moves on to the revolutionary possibilities that are open to amateurs, from imaging, through spectroscopy and photometry, to patrolling for near-earth objects - the search for comets and asteroids that may come close to, or even hit, the earth. The New Amateur Astronomer is a road map of the new astronomy, equally suitable for newcomers who want an introduction, or old hands who need to keep abreast of innovations. From the reviews: "This is one of several dozen books in Patrick Moore's "Practical Astronomy" series. Amid this large family, Mobberley finds his niche: the beginning high-tech amateur. The book's first half discusses equipment: computer-driven telescopes, CCD cameras, imaging processing software, etc. This market is changing every bit as rapidly as the computer world, so these details will be current for only a year or two. The rest of the book offers an overview of scientific projects that serious amateurs are carrying out these days. Throughout, basic formulas and technical terms are provided as needed, without formal derivations. An appendix with useful references and Web sites is also included. Readers will need more than this book if they are considering a plunge into high-tech amateur astronomy, but it certainly will whet their appetites. Mobberley's most valuable advice will save the book's owner many times its cover price: buy a quality telescope from a reputable dealer and install it in a simple shelter so it can be used with as little set-up time as possible. A poor purchase choice and the hassle of setting up are why most fancy telescopes gather dust in their owners' dens. Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers; lower- and upper-division undergraduates."( T. D. Oswalt, CHOICE, March 2005) Book Title: The New Amateur Astronomer (Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series).

	NASA SDO - Amateur Astronomers; Thank You! Every day and every night thousands of Amateur Astronomers are pointing their telescopes into the skies, surveying the stars, planets and our Sun. The term "Amateur" does not do justice to the great work these women and men are doing. Not only do they help with education and inspiration, but they also find comets. Yesterday, Amateur Astronomer David Dickinson pointed his solar telescope at the Sun and recorded a beautiful solar prominence. I decided it would be fun to compare it with what NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory sees. This is not to show much more better one is over the other, but rather that by working together, we can accomplish more, reach more people and perhaps inspire a few new astronomers. So thank you to all of you who are looking upwards, who are helping newbies with their equipment, who are going into schools, parks and public places to let others look through your telescopes. Thank you for all the findings and for the good times at night and during the day. Credit: David Dickinson and NASA SDO Video Title: NASA SDO - Amateur Astronomers; Thank You!. Length: 7:00:36.

	Seeing Stars: Amateur Astronomers Aim Thousands of Eyes at the Universe Astronomer Gus Johnson likes the quiet and the dark. But weather conditions are working against him this night near his home in Maryland. GUS JOHNSON: "Well, Jupiter went behind a cloud so we have the moon ... " Johnson has been watching stars for 50 years. He remembers hundreds of star positions and he loves to share what he knows. GUS JOHNSON: "That planet has a diameter 11 times that of the Earth." In 1979, Johnson discovered a supernova, or exploding star. Scientists now believe his supernova is the newest and nearest black hole. GUS JOHNSON: "That's the supernova right there. When I came to M100 [galaxy], there was this other little star that for some reason caught my attention. I don't know why. And later on, I checked the photograph, and it wasn't on the photograph. And that proved to be the Supernova SN 1979c." Was he happy with the discovery? GUS JOHNSON: "Yes, I was. And I am, and thankful too because so few people actually get to discover things." Scientists believe that black holes are often created. But to see it happen is extremely rare. Kim Weaver is an astrophysicist. Last year, she and other scientists announced that Johnson's supernova was probably the birth of a black hole. KIM WEAVER: "We want to watch how this system evolves and changes in its youthful stages from when it's first born to when it grows into a child and a teenager." Some astronomers dismiss the work of what they call citizen scientists. But Weaver says these amateur astronomers do put ...

	Amateur Astronomer Francis Walsh Intro #1 My name is Francis Walsh. Together with my father-in-law and best friend Bob, we built the newest permanent dome observatory in Texas. Cosmic Obsession is going to bring the public access to the inner working of amateur astronomers who are using the tools available to them to get the answers they are after about questions arising in space. 2011 was an active year for astronomical events. The passage of multiple comets and asteroids has increased fear about the possibility of a catastrophic event from space affecting us here on Earth. I have taken it upon myself to take action against these events. I decided to do my own research on the subject and it has brought us to this point in our progress. We will be introducing more people to the universe through the eyepiece of our telescopes. Once the permanent dome observatory is complete and filled with our tools, we will begin a regular routine of reporting and imaging the questionable objects in space. You can access more information on the observatory and our daily update blog on the observatory website. www.cosmicobsession.com You can find out more about Francis Walsh by connecting with him on Facebook http You can hear the radio programs on Revolution Radio and American Freedom Radio Collision Course www.freedomslips.com Stranger Advice with John Zaskoda Mon-Wed-Fri at 2PM in New York on www.americanfreedomradio.com Francis Walsh is on Stranger Advice every Wednesday starting at 2PM in New York City.

There are billions of planets in our galaxy, and a hot, Neptune-sized planet orbiting an ordinary star called SPH10066540 might not seem unusual, but there's a catch. It was discovered by an amateur*, with only "a passing interest in where things are in the sky." *Chris Holmes, from Peterborough, England who does not have even a telescope. He has real talent! Holmes found the planet while looking through data on Planet Hunters, a popular citizen science project that lets ordinary people help scientists navigate through readings from NASA's Kepler telescope.

	SIGNS FROM THE HEAVENS: 3D Lyrid Meteor Shower - A Wonderful Night in April! This weekend, NASA scientists, amateur astronomers, and an astronaut on board the International Space Station will attempt the first-ever 3D photography of meteors from Earth and space. "The annual Lyrid meteor shower peaks on April 21-22," says Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office. "We're going to try to photograph some of these 'shooting stars' simultaneously from ground stations, from a research balloon in the stratosphere, and from the space station." Lyrid meteors come from Comet Thatcher. Every year in late April Earth passes through a stream of debris from the old comet, which has been bringing Lyrid meteors to our planet for at least 2600 years. Specks of Thatcher's dust hit the top of atmosphere at 110000 mph and disintegrate in a flurry of meteors. Most years, the shower produces about 15 to 20 Lyrids per hour. This is a good year to look for Lyrids because the Moon will be new when the shower peaks. Dark skies favor sightings both from Earth and from Earth orbit. "Even though the Lyrids are not noted for spectacular rates, the combination of a New Moon and a very favorable viewing geometry from the International Space Station (ISS) presents a unique opportunity to simultaneously image shower meteors from above and below," says Cooke. ISS Flight Engineer Don Pettit will be operating the camera on the space station. "Even though his equipment was designed for tasks other than meteor observing, Don is a skilled astrophotographer, and we have ...
