Amateur Astronomy Magazine is no longer the new kid on the block. After nine years of publishing articles about telescopes, telescope making, and observing, we have gained the respect and readership of astronomers from around the world. We have recently switched to all new digital printing, and our print and photo quality is remarkable. Check us out. Our Quarterly format is a combination similar to "Telescope Making" and "Deep Sky", two very popular magazines that are no longer published, (only because they were not profitable enough for a large
company to take seriously.) If you have missed our first eight years of articles for, by, and about astronomers, observers, and their telescopes, you have missed most of what has been happening in the real world of amateur astronomy.
We carry articles that the real amateur astronomers of the world are interested in reading - not articles that are aimed at newsstand market, or professional astronomers. We do not offer the flash of the larger magazines. Instead of having a two page graphic heading a 500 word article, we run the whole 3000 word article so you can read what the author wanted to say. Instead of having a few paragraphs and one photo about an amateur star party, we run a 10 page article with 30 photographs, showing the site and most of the interesting telescopes there. While we cannot print one or two expensive color photos, we are able to publish 15 black-and-white photos in their place. Each issue contains 68 pages - and less than 8 pages contain advertising. We only carry enough ads to help pay the bills. We are subscriber supported. That means that we can say what we want. If a reviewer does not like a product, we can say so, since we don't have to bow to the almighty advertising dollar.

The Vela "Bullets" are knots of emission discovered in ROSAT All-Sky Survey x-ray images that appear to be associated with the Vela supernova remnant, but are outside the roughly spherical shell of the remnant.

Journey To The Center Of The Universe - Earth The Life and Times of Claudius Ptolemaeus - Ptolemy Join the Discussion "Ptolemy came up with great theories to explain the observations of his day...those theories stood for nearly 1500 years before being proven wrong."

From Other Guides Geography: Ptolemy History of Astrology Ptolemy (aka Claudius Ptolemaeus, Ptolomaeus, Klaudios Ptolemaios, Ptolemeus) lived in Alexandria, Egypt. We know very little of Ptolemy's life, including his birth and death dates. Various sources report different years, however, the first observation made by Ptolemy which we can date exactly was on 26 March 127 while the last was on 2 February 141. Some experts believe his life spanned the years 87 – 150. We get a few clues about him from his name, Claudius Ptolemy, which is a mixture of the Greek Egyptian 'Ptolemy' and the Roman 'Claudius'. This seems to indicate that he was descended from a Greek family living in Egypt and that he was also a citizen of Rome. This could only have happened as a result of a Roman emperor rewarding one of Ptolemy's ancestors with this favor.

    Impact: 65 Million Years Ago
    Credit:
    courtesy V.L. Sharpton, LPI Explanation: What killed the dinosaurs? Their sudden disappearance 65 million years ago, along with about 70 percent of all species then living on Earth, is known as the K-T event (Cretaceous-Tertiary Mass Extinction event). Geologists and paleontologists often entertain the idea that a large asteroid or comet impacting the Earth was the culprit. In such a cosmic catastrophe, the good(!) news would be that the impact would generate firestorms, tidal waves, earthquakes, and hurricane winds. As for the bad news ... debris thrown into the atmosphere would have a serious global environmental consequences, creating extended periods of darkness, low temperatures, and acid rains - resulting in a planet-wide extinction event. In 1990, dramatic support for this theory came from cosmochemist Alan Hildebrand's revelation of a 65 million year old, 112 mile wide ring structure

    This freeware program by David C. Irizarry works on Windows 3.x and Windows 95. The compressed zip file that you will download here is only 319kB. When unzipped, it takes up 1.07 Mbytes of disk space. I have tried a lot of freeware and software in astronomy. I rate this a keeper. This is an excellent program, utilizing the Hertzprung-Russell Diagram. Find a star in the sky. Identify it using planetarium software. Then use this software to see where it falls on the H-R diagram. Discover its relative size to the sun, its surface temperature, its spectral class, its actual brightness, and other interesting facts about the star. It is well worth the small disk space and short download time. NOTE: This shareware version, though fully functional, has a built in time limit per session. You have the bother of having to reboot it after your session time runs out. If you like it, though, you can send in a check or money order to its author of $15 and be rid of that problem.
