Extractions: 7th March, 2003: What a gas! Occasionally we like to blow our own trumpet! SAO instructors are currently in the news with a remarkable result. Professors Brad Gibson (Swinburne; this semesters HET611 instructor) and Chris Flynn (Tuorla Observatory in Finland, this semesters HET605 instructor) in collaboration with Finnish and American counterparts, have made the first accurate measurement of the rate of helium in the universe. Their results were published in the 7 March issue of international journal Science. The astronomers estimated the cosmic production of helium using K dwarf stars (in the Hipparcos catalogue) to yield a ratio of helium to heavy (excluding hydrogen and helium) elements. Their value agrees with previous theoretical predictions. "There are many mysteries in astronomy, but it is safe to say that we can finally put a tick mark beside one of the longer, perplexing mysteries!" ... "Australian researchers have played a fundamental role in demonstrating that we are not only the stuff of stars, as proclaimed by the late Carl Sagan, but also the importance of stars as helium 'factories'" said Professor Gibson.

Extractions: Home About Us Observing Sites Member Pages ... Observing Guide Have news to submit? email us here The mystery of why large features called supergranules move across the Sun's surface faster than the Sun rotates has been solved, according to a team of scientists using the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft. Instead of actually moving faster than the Sun, their apparent rapid rotation is an illusion generated by a pattern of activity, like fans doing the wave at a sporting event. (from the Institute for Solar Physics The first images from the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope on the Canary Island of La Palma are presented in Nature on November 14. The images are the most detailed ever obtained of the Sun - among the new solar features uncovered are hitherto unknown phenomenae in sunspots. The telescope was opened in March this year and is operated by the Institute for Solar Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Its objective lens has a diameter of one meter and the telescope is designed to minimize problems from turbulent air that blur the images. The telescope tube is evacuated and a mirror in the beam adjusts its shape a thousand times a second to counteract the atmospheric blurring. This makes the images the sharpest ever of the Sun. The resolution achieved is 1,200 times better than normal eyesight (20/20 vision).

Taking advantage of nights where the weather was too bad to look at faint sources we have mapped a very bright nearby object. This has produced an unusual view of an object that is familiar to us all! Full story. Utilising the unique abilities of SCUBA to see faint dust material arround nearby newly formed stars, observations of Vega, Fomalhaut and e Eridani, have provided tantelising hints that planets may exist arround these stars.

Extractions: December 17, 1999: During a recent close flyby of Jupiter's moon Io, NASA's Galileo spacecraft observed a fiery lava fountain shooting more than a mile above the moon's surface. The images, showing a curtain of lava erupting within a giant volcanic crater, will be unveiled today during the American Geophysical Union's fall meeting in San Francisco. Galileo took the pictures on Thanksgiving night, November 25. "We've finally caught a close-up of a massive volcanic eruption in action on Io," said Galileo project scientist Dr. Torrence Johnson of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA. "The erupting lava was so hot and bright, it over-exposed part of the camera picture and left a bright blur in the middle." These lava fountains were hot enough and tall enough to be observed by the NASA Infrared Telescope atop Mauna Kea, HI. By combining data from this telescope and Galileo observations, scientists have their best chance ever to pin down temperatures of the extremely hot lava on Io. The images show a region of giant calderas, or crater depressions, in Io's northern latitudes. They came from two of Galileo's onboard instruments the camera and near-infrared mapping spectrometer, which observes wavelengths invisible to the unaided eye.
