	Astronomers, Scribes, and Priests: Intellectual Interchange between the Northern Maya Lowlands and Highland Mexico in the Late Postclassic Period (Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Symposia and Colloquia) Astronomers, Scribes, and Priests examines evidence for cultural interchange among the intellectual powerbrokers in Postclassic Mesoamerica, specifically those centered in the northern Maya lowlands and the central Mexican highlands. Contributors to the volume’s thirteen chapters bring an interdisciplinary perspective to understanding the interactions that led to shared content in hieroglyphic codices and mural art. The authors address similarities in artifacts, architectural styles, and building alignments—often produced in regions separated by hundreds of miles—based on their analyses of iconographic, archaeological, linguistic, and epigraphic material. The volume includes a wealth of new data and interpretive frameworks in this comprehensive discussion of a critical time period in the Mesoamerican past.

	When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer (Golden Kite Honors) By: Walt Whitman, Loren Long. Leave time for wonder. Walt Whitman's "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer" is an enduring celebration of the imagination. Here, Whitman's wise words are beautifully recast by New York Times #1 best-selling illustrator Loren Long to tell the story of a boy's fascination with the heavens. Toy rocket in hand, the boy finds himself in a crowded, stuffy lecture hall. At first he is amazed by the charts and the figures. But when he finds himself overwhelmed by the pontifications of an academic, he retreats to the great outdoors and does something as universal as the stars themselves... he dreams.

	God and the Astronomers Second Edition By: Robert Jastrow. If every effect in science has a cause, what caused the birth of the Universe? Have scientists brought themselves face to face with the possibility of God? In God and the Astronomers, Dr. Robert Jastrow, world-renowned astrophysicist, describes the astronomical discoveries of recent years and the theological implications of the new insights afforded by science into mankind's place in the cosmos. He explains the chain of events that forced astronomers, despite their initial reluctance ("Irritating," said Einstein; "Repugnant," said the great British astronomer Eddington; "I would like to reject it," said MIT physicist Philip Morrison) to accept the validity of the Big Bang and the fact that the universe began in a moment of creation.

	Astronomer's Paradise It's cold, it's dry, the air is thin. The nearest city is miles away across a barren landscape of boulder-strewn hills. At night, the only lights to guide you are the stars in the sky. Astronomers, welcome to paradise. Known as the driest place on Earth, Chile's Atacama Desert has long been recognized as an ideal spot for ground-based telescopes. The skies are free of light pollution, and the high plains enjoy long stretches of steady atmospheric conditions, allowing astronomers to peer deeply into the cosmos without having to worry about turbulence distorting the data. (Related blog: "The Dry Edge of Life—Studying 'Martians' in Chile.") In the new time-lapse movie above, photographers Christoph Malin and Babak Tafreshi (founder of The World at Night, or TWAN, program) offer a rarely seen glimpse of Cerro Paranal, one of the high hills in the Atacama that houses instruments for the European Southern Observatory(ESO). Made by invitation from the ESO, the video includes more than 7500 still images taken between October and November 2011. It shows the beauty of the dark Atacama skies, sometimes framed by the four main domes of the Very Large Telescope, as well as a brief "behind the scenes" look at what telescope operators see from inside one of the domes. In an email to National Geographic, Tafreshi says of the Atacama: There are not many locations left on this planet where you can still experience a dark sky like this. I have been to similar dark skies in other continents ... Video Title: Astronomer's Paradise. Length: 7:05:34. View: 16969

	Greatest Astronomy Discoveries 1. The Planets Move (2000 BC -- 500 BC) A thousand years of observations reveal that there are stars that move in the sky and follow patterns, showing that the Earth is part of a solar system of planets separate from the fixed stars. 2. The Earth Moves (1543) Nicolaus Copernicus places the sun, not the Earth, at the center of the solar system. 3. Planetary Orbits Are Elliptical (1605 -- 1609) Johannes Kepler devises mathematical laws that successfully and accurately predict the motions of the planets in elliptical orbits. 4. Jupiter Has Moons (1609 -- 1612) Galileo Galilei discovers that Jupiter has moons like the Earth, proving that Copernicus, not Ptolemy, is right. Copernicus believes that Earth is not unique, but instead resembles the other planets, all of which orbit the sun. 5. Halley's Comet Has a Predictable Orbit (1705 -- 1758) Edmund Halley proves that comets orbit the sun like the planets and successfully predicts the return of Halley's Comet. He determines that comets seen in 1531 and 1607 are the same object following a 76-year orbit. Halley's prediction is proven in 1758 when the comet returns. Unfortunately, Halley had died in 1742, missing the momentous event. 6. The Milky Way Is a Gigantic Disk of Stars (1780 -- 1834) Telescope-maker William Herschel and his sister Carolyn map the entire sky and prove that our solar system resides in a gigantic disk of stars that bulges in the center called the Milky Way. Herschel's technique involves taking a sample ... Video Title: Greatest Astronomy Discoveries. Length: 7:44:23. View: 19924
	Milky Way Planets Number in Billions: Astronomers We are not alone. Big time. Astronomers say that each of the 100 billion stars in the Milky Way probably has at least one companion planet. Until the first part of the 20th century, scientists believed our home galaxy was the entire universe and, until 1994,that the planets in our solar system were the only ones we knew. With the aid of the Kepler Spacecraft, launched in 2009, an international team of 42 scientists has been surveying millions of stars in the Milky Way. They've discovered that planets may be as plentiful as grains of sand on a beach, and that many stars likely host planets with mass five times that of earth. Some stars are home to gas giants like Jupiter. And some planets may circle not one but two stars--a phenomenon so unlikely it was previously only considered in science fiction. We may need to keep searching for ET, though; none of the planets detected so far appears suitable for conventional carbon-based life as known on Earth.

	Astronomers Discover an Alien Planet 'Blacker than Coal' August 12, 2011 Separate BBC article: "A dark alien world, blacker than coal, has been spotted by astronomers. The Jupiter-sized planet is orbiting its star at a distance of just five million km, and is likely to be at a temperature of some 1200C. The planet may be too hot to support reflective clouds like those we see in our own Solar System, but even that would not explain why it is so dark. The research will be published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. The planet, called TrES-2b, is so named because is was first spotted by the Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey in 2006. It is about 750 light-years away, in the Draco constellation. It also lies in the field of view of the Kepler space telescope, whose primary mission is to spot exoplanets using extremely sensitive brightness measurements as far-flung worlds pass in front of their host stars. Using the first four months' worth of data from Kepler, David Kipping of the Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University and David Spiegel from Princeton University, looked at the amount of light coming directly from TrES-2b itself. They measured the amount of light coming from the planet's "night side" - when it is directly in front of its star. They compared that to the light coming from its "day side", just before it passes behind its star and Kepler sees it bathed in light. The difference between the two gives a measure of how much light the planet reflects - or its albedo. In our Solar System, clouds on Jupiter ...
