Adams Associated Press posted: 11:42 am ET 11 June 2002 With the sun still high in the sky, the dark shadow of the moon took a small bite out of its lower half, than began creeping slowly over the rest of the glowing yellow orb. An hour later all that remained was a small sliver of white light that looked like a fingernail or an upside crescent. Images A partial eclipse of the sun silhouettes the towers and steeples of the Conception Abbey in Conception, Mo., Monday, June 10, 2002. Earlier in the day, the abbey was the scene of a shooting spree that left two Benedictine monks dead and two others woundedbefore the shooter killed himself. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel) The sun is beginning to be covered by the moon in this partial eclipse photographed at Tinian in the Northern Marianas islands Tuesday morning, June 11, 2002. Tinian, Saipan's neighboring island, was one of the most ideal spots to view the solar sky showthat can be seen from eastern Asia and much of the Pacific on June 11 and North America on June 10 due to the International Date Line.

SEARCH: Spacewatch: Backyard Astronomy advertisement Amateur Astronomers to Put Telescope on International Space Station By Tariq Malik Staff Writer posted: 09:10 am ET 01 February 2002 Amateur astronomers may have a window seat waiting for them on the International Space Station, though they won’t have to leave Earth to see the view. A group of U.S. stargazers plan to mount an optical telescope on the International Space Station, connect it to the Internet and give amateur astronomers their first foothold in outer space. A land-based prototype for the system, dubbed the International Space Station – Amateur Telescope, will be unveiled Saturday at Winer Observatory near Tucson, Arizona. The test telescope will be remote-controlled from Vanderbilt University’s Dyer Observatory in Tennessee, where, space images and observations will be archived and distributed to the Internet for all to see. Images The logo for the International Space Station - Amateur Telescope, or ISS-AT, organized the Astronomical League in the United States. The project is aimed at installing the first telescope aboard the space station specifically for the use of amateur astronomers via the Internet. Click to enlarge.

Some observations, project organizers said, could even be made live, though reservations for telescope time will certainly have to be made in advance.

NetAstroCatalog a mailing list for "deep sky" observers of all levels What is the Internet Amateur Astronomers Catalog (IAAC)? The Internet Amateur Astronomers Catalog (IAAC or 'netastrocatalog' for short) is a forum for amateur astronomers at all levels to share their observations of Deep-Sky objects. (The 'deep-sky' includes all objects which are NOT members of our solar system: other galaxies, star clusters, gaseous nebulae, doubles, and variable stars are all deep-sky objects). Note that the netastrocatalog is a *catalog of amateur observations*, not a sales catalog of any kind! If you'd like to submit your OWN observation of any astronomical object, please fill out the following Web form with your observation: http://www.visualdeepsky.org/enter-log.html Or, if you use one of the wonderful observation-planning applications out there, such as Jeff Bondono's dObjects or , you may simply be able to submit your observations to the IAAC via a menu item in your application. Ask your software author about this! Once you submit your observation to netastrocatalog, it will appear on the World Wide Web along with countless other amateurs' efforts, within a week or so. In addition, all 'netastrocatalog' subscribers will see your submission immediately! The whole (LARGE) archive of previous logs is available at:

31. Transitsearch.org The purpose of transitsearch.org is to coordinate and direct a cooperative observational effort which will allow experienced amateur astronomers and small college observatories to discover transiting extrasolar planets. http://www.transitsearch.org/index.htm

The discover y since 1995 of more than a hundred planets orbiting nearby solar-like stars and the discovery of a transiting planet orbiting the star has heralded a new era in astronomy. Furthermore, the past several years have seen the introduction of highly affordable small telescopes equipped with sensitive and stable CCD (charge coupled device) detectors, and controlled by laptop computers. Thousands of amateur astronomers already own observatories which, when properly configured, are capable of reliably detecting the periodic dimming which occurs when a close-in giant planet passes in front of the parent star as seen from Earth. Click here to see how this technique was used to detect the transit of HD209458b The purpose of transitsearch.org is to coordinate and direct a cooperative observational effort which will allow experienced amateur astronomers and small college observatories to discover transiting extrasolar planets. In order to maximize the chances of success, and in order to utilize the advantages of a network of small telescopes most effectively, we are adopting the strategy of observing known planet-bearing stars at the dates and times when transits are expected to occur. At present, all of the confirmed extrasolar planets orbiting sun-like stars in the galactic neighborhood have been discovered using the Doppler radial velocity technique (see www.exoplanets.org

Foreword by the Society President - William P Recagno Where do we come from? How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? How will it end? All my life, I have been fascinated by the big questions that face us, and have tried to find scientific answers to them. If, like me, you have looked at the stars, and tried to make sense of what you see, you too have started to wonder what makes the universe exist. The questions are clear, and deceptively simple. But the answers have always seemed well beyond our reach. Until now. The ideas which had grown over two thousand years of observation have had to be radically revised. In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the centre of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is just one of billions of galaxies, in a universe that is infinite and expanding. But this is far from the end of a long history of inquiry. Huge questions remain to be answered, before we can hope to have a complete picture of the universe we live in.
