Web-Site Content and Internet Access

The Armagh Observatory web-sites now include a substantial amount of weather and related meteorological information. This provides e-access to a variety of meteorological and climate data, including the Observatory's 210-year archive of weather records at Armagh. The Observatory web-site is also increasingly making available the results of astronomical observations carried out at Armagh, for example images of meteorological or space-weather events such as aurorae (see star.arm.ac.uk/images/aurora-2003-Oct/), and of transient astronomical events such as occultations, eclipses and transits.

Three experimental web-casts involving transits and eclipses were carried out in 2003 by Apostolos Christou and Martin Murphy, and were judged to be successful as a proof of concept. It is intended that these will become a regular, widely advertised activity when the additional bandwidth promised by the NIMAN becomes available and when it will also be possible to make use of the newly refurbished telescopes. An example of the Transit of Mercury, on 7 May 2003, can be seen at arpc65.arm.ac.uk/transit/.
