New Frontiers in Astronomy: Hubble and Beyond
New Frontiers in Astronomy: Hubble and Beyond Tube. Duration : 57.02 Mins.
Google TechTalks April 11, 2006 Alberto Conti Carol Christian ABSTRACT A revolution is now underway in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The next decade will witness the completion of massive, wide-area, multicolor imaging and spectroscopic surveys of the local and distant Universe. With its strong legacy of public outreach, Hubble's Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) has been responsible for how most of the world views our universe. We recognize that, given the coming flood of information, the next step of this task is to allow users to actively explore the cosmos themselves. In this talk we hope to show some of the potential explorations of this wealth of data to help us all better...

Zooming Into Betelgeuse [720p]
Zooming Into Betelgeuse [720p] Tube. Duration : 0.58 Mins.
Using different state-of-the-art techniques on ESO's Very Large Telescope, two independent teams of astronomers have obtained the sharpest ever views of the supergiant star Betelgeuse. They show that the star has a vast plume of gas almost as large as our Solar System and a gigantic bubble boiling on its surface. These discoveries provide important clues to help explain how these mammoths shed material at such a tremendous rate. Betelgeuse — the second brightest star in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter) — is a red supergiant, one of the biggest stars known, and almost 1000 times larger than our Sun [1]. It is also one of the most luminous stars known, emitting more light than 100 000 Suns. Such extreme properties foretell the demise of a short-lived stellar king. With an age of only a few million years, Betelgeuse is already nearing the end of its life and is soon doomed to explode as a supernova. When it does, the supernova should be seen easily from Earth, even in broad daylight. Red supergiants still hold several unsolved mysteries. One of them is just how these behemoths shed such tremendous quantities of material — about the mass of the Sun — in only 10 000 years. Two teams of astronomers have used ESOs Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the most advanced technologies to take a closer look at the gigantic star. Their combined work suggests that an answer to the long-open mass-loss question may well be at hand. The first team used the adaptive optics instrument ...

Renowned actor, writer, and director Orson Welles; with contributions from scientists George Wald, Carl Sagan, and others; examines the possibility and implications of extraterrestrial life. In examining our perceptions of alien 'martians' from his "War of the Worlds" broadcast, to then-modern explorations of Mars, this film from NASA provides a unique glimpse at life on earth, and elsewhere in the universe. Transcript (PDF): archives.gov CREATED BYNational Aeronautics and Space Administration. (10/01/1958 - ) SUMMARY This film explores the new view of extraterrestrial life now emerging from the results of probes to the planets. The film discusses the conclusion of a number of distinguished scientists that other intelligent civilizations exist in the universe.

CCD Camera vs Webcam Compare, modify and use.
CCD Camera vs Webcam Compare, modify and use. Video Clips. Duration : 9.03 Mins.
I recently discovered, the sky. As a new viewer I've spent more on accessories then the scope that started my discovery. I invested in the Celestron NexImage CCD camera and decided to compare it with a .99 web cam. Everything you need should be here to use these cameras. Telescope Celestron 114 mm Powerseeker (Got two for .00) Celestron CCD NexImage camera List 9.00 (Paid .00) Pixxo 1.3 MP webcam .99 My main goal was to see how hard (easy) it was to modify a web camera. It was easy ;)
