... MATERIAL: astronomical data visualization software like ds9 , IRAF, and the two galaxy images in the V-band and I-band . ... You received images in the V and I-band of an unknown, partially resolved Milky Way dwarf satellite galaxy. Your task is to generate a color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of this stellar system, find out what kind of stellar population it is made of (old, young?) and estimate its distance from the sun using well-known features identified in the CMD. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

Astronotes Armagh Planetarium's Stellar Blog! ... Earth Satellites . ... According to Velikovsky, about 4000 years ago a giant volcano on Jupiter erupted and spewed a vast glob of debris into space, leaving the Great Red Spot behind as a permanent scar. The red hot lump ejected from Jupiter (referred to as a comet by Velikovsky) wandered into the inner Solar System, repeatedly crossing the Earth?s orbit and in fact often passing close to our helpless planet in the following millennia. ...
