I have developed an IDL script which automagically generates a nicely formatted finding chart appropriately aligned and scaled for the new guider camera on the Lick 3m. The script may be found here: findingchart.pro . It downloads data from SkyView at Goddard and applies an appropriate rotation and scaling to match the Lick camera geometry. ... Make sure the #! line in the perl script matches the location of perl in your system. ... NOTE: the webquery from Goddard didn't work on my Mac. ...

Jupiter's volcano-pocked moon Io has been found by NASA's Galileo spacecraft to have a giant iron core that takes up half its diameter, scientists report in today's issue of Science magazine. The spacecraft also has detected a large "hole" in Jupiter's magnetic field near Io, leading to speculation about whether Io possesses its own magnetic field. ... Galileo scientists also are trying to determine the cause of the hole they found in Jupiter's magnetic field when the spacecraft was closest to Io. ...

This form calculates which transits of the 1039 known transiting exoplanets are observable from a given location at a given time. Specify a time window, an observing location (either an observatory from the list or choose "Enter latitude/longitude" at the end of the list), and optionally any filters (e.g. minimum transit depth or elevation). The output includes transit time and elevation, and links to further information about each object, including finding charts and airmass plots. ...
