How Do Children Learn? ... Here we propose an innovative approach to children's learning, one that integrates the transmission, constructivism, and social constructivism models by having teachers present some of the fundamental concepts involved in astronomy education at the elementary level. ... learn the story . ... Before presenting sample stories and curricular ideas, we must discuss some of the impediments, pedagogical and professional, to teaching and learning astronomy at the elementary level. ...

On the afternoon of 19 October 1999, it was discovered by John Briggs that the secondary mirror in the 2.5m SDSS telescope had developed a series of circular cracks around its axis of symmetry. As the telescope had not been in use since the early morning of 16 October 1999, there was a great deal of concern and consternation as to what caused these fractures in the glass. ... 11/24/1999 ...

Mal Ruderman (KIPAC, Stanford) . What do we see when we look at the surface of a neutron star from a great distance? ... The new point that is made is a consequence of near-relativistic electron-positron flows expected in the near-magnetosphere's of "young" (not older than about a million years) neutron stars. Because of cyclotron resonance scattering by these pair-flows on surface X-ray and UV emission, we do not see unprocessed suface emission. ...

... Calibration and analysis of this observation posed very interesting challenges for the authors, in particular dealing with an exciting new instrument whose on-orbit calibration was not yet well defined. ... Five mosaic positions were observed during five consecutive orbits as well as observations for dark and flat calibration. ... Darks and flats had to be created from contemporaneous reference observations and problems within the calibration process had to be resolved. ...

Fibre composite materials were quite well researched in WW 2 and after but failed to make great impact because a stiff and unavailable fibre was lacking. ... The requisite stiffness of composites is known and it is understood how to use it in engineering situations. The problem of toughness of fibre composites is less well understood. Some of the impressive artefacts made from fibre composites are described and their use in the Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 described in a little detail. ...
