An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . THE CHANGING UNIVERSE: EVOLUTION HAPPENS! . b) Changes in Stars . One of the great discoveries of modern science is that stars (like people) live only a measurable life-time and then die. Although the lives of the stars are enormously longer than the span of a human life, we can learn about the life story of the stars by studying them at many different stages in their life cycle, from birth to death. ...

... 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. ...

... A full set of flatfield frames was taken with the NICMOS arrays during the System Level Thermal Vacuum test, conducted on the ground in August 1996. ... Users are encouraged to recalibrate their data with on-orbit flatfields if the pipeline calibration used thermal vacuum flatfields. Preliminary results from SMOV indicate that variations in the large scale structure of the on-orbit flatfields relative to the thermal vacuum flatfields are of the order of 1-2% in Camera 2, and up to 5% in Camera 1. ...
