   Extractions: West Virginia, USA. ( Click for larger jpeg image The Society of Amateur Radio Astronomers (SARA) is a dedicated group of people that formed an international society to learn, trade technical information and do their own observations of the radio sky. This organization is a scientific, non-profit group founded for the sole purpose of supporting amateur radio astronomy . SARA was organized in the early 1980's and today has about 400 members worldwide. The group consists of optical astronomers, ham radio operators, engineers, teachers and non-technical persons. Many of our members are new to the field of radio astronomy and membership is extended to all who have an interest in radio astronomy. New! "Member Annex" Pages

   Extractions: Lucile Miller Observatory Photo Special Note: The World Wide Web contains many, many sites for Astronomy, many of which may be of interest to amateur astronomers. The ADC primarily serves the professional astronomy community. However, amateurs can find many of the ADC's catalogs useful for their hobby. This page includes information on using ADC resources for amateur astronomy and links to selected external resources that may be of interest. We are not responsible for the content of the external pages. If you have suggestions for additional links, please send them to the curators at the e-mail addresses listed at the bottom of the page. We regret that we may not be able to accommodate every such request. THE ADC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTENT OF EXTERNAL SITES LINKED FROM THIS PAGE. Amateur Astronomy Uses of ADC The Astronomical Data Center specializes in archiving and distributing collections of data that have been published by professional astronomers. Most of these data sets are in the form of computer-readable tables of numbers, rather than images. Amateur astronomers can find these data collections useful in looking up the properties and locations of celestial objects. This can help amateurs plan for observing sessions, and help them to better understand what they've observed. Please see our

Gary made the best of the situation by redesigning portions of the site and upgrading some hardware on the server. A new video card and tiny monitor will let him monitor the site more easily. We hope to continue improving the site whenever we can!

In DOL Printer-friendly version ( HTML PDF Nature of the Work Working Conditions Employment Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement ... Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Physicists explore and identify basic principles governing the structure and behavior of matter, the generation and transfer of energy, and the interaction of matter and energy. Some physicists use these principles in theoretical areas, such as the nature of time and the origin of the universe; others apply their physics knowledge to practical areas, such as the development of advanced materials, electronic and optical devices, and medical equipment. Physicists design and perform experiments with lasers, cyclotrons, telescopes, mass spectrometers, and other equipment. Based on observations and analysis, they attempt to discover and explain laws describing the forces of nature, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and nuclear interactions. Physicists also find ways to apply physical laws and theories to problems in nuclear energy, electronics, optics, materials, communications, aerospace technology, navigation equipment, and medical instrumentation.

    Extractions: After about five years of having this page up, I have abrogated my association with the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomersmainly because I don't physically go out to the sidewalk anymore with my telescope(s)... However, in this virtual world, I still encourage others to do so. This page is also a space that facilitates my "telescope loan program": I loan out my personal scopes (no chargeno obligationno club to join) so others may see the universe through a telescope too... But I don't care anymore whether you share the Universe with others or not. This page will continue to have some "sidewalk-like" articles beneath its cover, but it will also be geared to the average astro-interested beginner. For official SF Sidewalk Astronomer information, go to: Morris Jones' San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers' Webpage ... Or call the SFSA "hotline" for the latest scheduled get together: (415) 289-2007.
