... Our competition was open to school students from around Australia. ... Students displayed great ingenuity and creativity with their work. Many of the entries were displayed the Parkes Observatory Visitors Centre during National Science Week and on the recent Open Days. ... The ATNF offers the possibility of one or two weeks work experience (WE) for high school and TAFE students of normally 16 ? ... WE programs help students make future career choices by seeing what work life is like in practice. ...

Next: Public Understanding of Science Up: Annual-Report-1999 Previous: W.M. Napier, Senior Research Contents . The Observatory maintains an active visitors programme, encompassing students, postdoctoral research assistants and more senior researchers, and hosts a research seminar approximately once per week during the academic year. The calendar year 1999 saw working visits from 7 astronomers of postdoctoral status or higher, with additional visits by 2 Ph.D. students based elsewhere. ...

... On the equator (point C) the sun would always rise until it was overhead, while at the poles (A and B) it would always be on the horizon, going around the horizon once a day. ... Because everything is symmetric with respect to the line AB, the dark and light portions are always equal, and so are day and night, anywhere on Earth. ... Twice a year, the angle is as big as it can get, at the summer and winter solstices , when it reaches 23.5 degrees. ... That part of Earth enjoys summer . ...

Neutral hydrogen distribution in the region of radio source Cygnus X . ... HI distribution in the region of radio source Cygnus X and supernova remnant G78.2+2.1 has been investigated from observations in 21 cm radio line using radio telescope RATAN-600. ... The existance of the large HI shell and a cavity in molecular gas distribution around Cygnus X indicates this radio source most probably to represent a united structure and whole gas may be drived by stellar wind of Cyg OB2 stellar assotiation. ...

... High-resolution Herschel spectroscopy reveals the proto-planetary disk around the young star T Tau N . ... A study led by Linda Podio ( AstroFIt fellow at the Arcetri Observatory) with Inga Kamp (Kapteyn Institute, the Netherlands), Claudio Codella (Observatory of Arcetri) and other collaborators from Grenoble, UK and USA, makes use of high-resolution spectroscopic observations with HIFI on board the Herschel space observatory to characterize the disk around the young star T Tau N . ...

We present new images of the reflection nebula surrounding the R Coronae Borealis Star, UW Centauri. ... Instead, the morphology of the nebula appears to change as different parts are illuminated by light from the central star that is modulated by shifting thick dust clouds near its surface. ... In this way, the central star acts like a lighthouse shining through holes in the dust clouds and lighting up different portions of the nebula. ... ADS Citation Query . citations = 21 . ...
