Gerhana

Dalam waktu dekat ini, ada 2 gerhana yang akan terjadi yaitu gerhana Matahari total pada tanggal 1 Agustus 2008 (sayang sekali tidak bisa diamati dari sebagian besar daerah di Indonesia, kecuali Sumatera bagian utara akan bisa menyaksikan Gerhana Matahari Sebagian) dan gerhana Bulan parsial tanggal 16 Agustus 2008. Untuk keterangan lebih lanjut silakan klik link di bawah ini.
Jadilah saksi mata untuk dua event astronomi tersebut ! PERHATIAN! Dalam mengamati gerhana Matahari Total, JANGAN SEKALI-KALI mengamati secara LANGSUNG gerhana matahari SAAT piringan Matahari kembali terlihat KARENA AKAN MENIMBULKAN KEBUTAAN PERMANEN. Untuk mengamati Gerhana Matahari secara aman, silakan cek situs (1) dan (2)

Astronomy from the Edge of Space

A team of rocket scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Astronomy Laboratory talk about innovative developments such as the Star Tracker 5000, which offers important applications for the national space program. The device accurately orients spacecraft by tracking star fields with a high level of precision. The researchers also explain how they gather information with an ultraviolet telescope launched by rocket, providing insight into the levels of invisible light in the universe.

Hubble Space Telescope

Keterangan :
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a telescope in orbit around the Earth, named after astronomer Edwin Hubble. Its position outside the Earth's atmosphere provides significant advantages over ground-based telescopes — images are not blurred by the atmosphere, there is no background from light scattered by the air, and the Hubble can observe ultra-violet light that is normally absorbed by the ozone layer in observations made from Earth. Since its launch in 1990, it has become one of the most important instruments in the history of astronomy. With it, astronomers have made many observations leading to breakthroughs in astrophysics. Hubble's Ultra Deep Field is the most sensitive astronomical optical image ever taken.

From its original conception in 1946 until its launch, the project to build a space telescope was beset by delays and budget problems. Immediately after its 1990 launch, it was found that the main mirror suffered from spherical aberration, severely compromising the telescope's capabilities. However, after a servicing mission in 1993, the telescope was restored to its intended quality and became a vital research tool as well as a public relations boon for astronomy. The HST is part of NASA's Great Observatories series, with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.[1] Hubble is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency.
