Original Version: PASP, November 1994. Abstract: The amount of data produced by large observational facilities and space missions has led to the archiving and on-line accessibility of much of this data, available to the entire astronomical community. This allows a much wider multi-frequency approach to astronomical research than previously possible. Here we provide an overview of these services, and give a basic description of their contents and possibilities for accessing them. Apart from services providing observational data, many of those providing general information, e.g. on addresses, bibliographies, software etc. are also described. The field is rapidly growing with improved network technology, and our attempt to keep the report as complete and up-to-date as possible will inevitably be outdated shortly. We will endeavor to maintain an updated version of this document on-line.

Please note the web site is temporarily off line. WHAT IS THE OHIO TURNPIKE ASTRONOMERS ASSOCIATION? The OTAA was formed in 1956 by four astronomy clubs that were located near the Ohio Turnpike. The organization was intended to open communication between astronomy clubs by setting dates for Ohio clubs to hold their conventions. Members of OTAA are astronomy clubs and institutions, it is not open to individuals. Members of the clubs that belong to OTAA are all considered to be members of the OTAA. Today, the OTAA clubs are not all located on the Turnpike. We have established The George Diedrich Award in honor of George Diedrich who was instrumental in the early days of the OTAA. This award is given to outstanding amateur astronomers. Our activities include our yearly conventions-produced by our member clubs and special activities such as setting up observing sites for special events like eclipses.

VRML itself is an acronym for "Virtual Reality Modeling Language". It is the International Standard (ISO/IEC 14772) file format for describing interactive 3D multimedia on the Internet. The first release of the VRML 1.0 specification was created by Silicon Graphics, Inc. and based on the Open Inventor file format. The second release of VRML added significantly more interactive capabilities. It was primarily designed by the Silicon Graphics VRML team with contributions from Sony Research, Mitra, and many others. VRML 2.0 was reviewed by the VRML moderated email discussion group and later adopted and endorsed by many companies and individuals. In December 1997, VRML97 replaced VRML 2.0 and was formally released as International Standard ISO/IEC 14772.

51. Famous Physicists And Astronomers Michael Faraday Short biography explains the importance of Faraday's work. http://www.phy.hr/~dpaar/fizicari/xfaraday.html

Michael Faraday The English chemist and physicist Michael Faraday, b. Sept. 22, 1791, d. Aug. 25, 1867, is known for his pioneering experiments in electricity and magnetism. Many consider him the greatest experimentalist who ever lived. Several concepts that he derived directly from experiments, such as lines of magnetic force, have become common ideas in modern physics. Faraday was born at Newington, Surrey, near London. He received little more than a primary education, and at the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a bookbinder. There he became interested in the physical and chemical works of the time. After hearing a lecture by the famous chemist Humphry Davy, he sent Davy the notes he had made of his lectures. As a result Faraday was appointed, at the age of 21, assistant to Davy in the laboratory of the Royal Institution in London. During the initial years of his scientific work, Faraday occupied himself mainly with chemical problems. He discovered two new chlorides of carbon and succeeded in liquefying chlorine and other gases. He isolated benzene in 1825, the year in which he was appointed director of the laboratory. Davy, who had the greatest influence on Faraday's thinking, had shown in 1807 that the metals sodium and potassium can be precipitated from their compounds by an electric current, a process known as electrolysis. Faraday's vigorous pursuit of these experiments led in 1834 to what became known as Faraday's laws of electrolysis.

55. CNN - Astronomers Find Planets Around Far-off Stars - April 22, 1996 CNN.com http://www.cnn.com/TECH/9604/22/new.planets/

Astronomers find planets around far-off stars April 22, 1996 Web posted at: 11:20 p.m. EDT BERKELEY, California (CNN) Paul Butler and Geoff Marcy have opened the door to what may be a revolution in the stargazing business. They have developed a way to detect planets orbiting distant stars as far away as 40 or 50 light years. The two scientists' technique has turned up five planets outside earth's solar system and that is five more than were known six months ago. "We're almost doing a planet a month right now," says Butler. Butler and Marcy don't actually see the planets. Instead the infer their existence by measuring their effects on distant suns. Particularly exciting to astronomers is the fact that two of the planets appear to be the right distance from their suns to have water on them. And water means the possibility of life. "But to be honest," says Marcy, "none of our planets that we've discovered so far probably have pools or lakes or oceans on them." Marcy and Butler's work is also aiding the work of another astronomer in his search for life in space. "Well, it helps us figure out where to point our radio telescopes to look for .. radio signals," says Dan Werthimer, who heads the University of California-Berkeley's project to find life in space by listening to radio waves.

Personal Pages of Astronomers It may be hard to believe, but I am not the only person in the world who likes astronomy. There are thousands of us out there! Each is unique. Everyone has different interests. Some like to take pictures with an "old fashioned" SLR camera and some like using advanced Charged Coupled Devices (CCD). There are even a very few of us that are fortunate enough to get paid for studying the universe. Some of us just like to look up to the night sky and wonder what makes it all go. I hope you take the time and explore some of these sites on the internet and realize how important astronomy is to us. If you would like to have your home page added here e-mail me at stargazer@voyager.net and I will add it. Be sure to put "Personal Page" in the subject heading. If you would like to add a link to my home page from yours then you certainly may do so (Just let me know - I get a kick out of seeing links to my page !). If you have trouble with any of the links on this page or discover that a URL has changed then please notify me and I will correct it. Also, if you find a home page that is not appropriate (i.e. UFO nut cases) then please notify me and I'll remove it. I've only had the chance to check out a handful of these sites myself. Thanks for stopping by!
