"The Bad Astronomy web pages are devoted to airing out myths and misconceptions in astronomy and related topics. At the moment, I have no desire to tackle here such thorny topics as astrology, alternate views of the universe that are clearly in contradiction to observations, and the like. I may add something like that eventually, when I have more time (translation: "never"). "

"The night sky over Australia: new timelapse A new time-lapse video has captured the beauty of the night sky above the Anglo-Australian Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory in eastern Australia. It was made by astronomy research fellow Dr Ángel López-Sánchez (Australian Astronomical Observatory and Macquarie University). "I made the video by combining about 3800 frames, each of which I had processed individually," said Dr López-Sánchez. Each second in the video corresponds to 12 minutes in real time.""

"Digital sky surveys and real-time telescopic )observations are unleashing an unprecedented flood (of information. Astronomers have recently created new tools to sift through all that data, which could contain answers (to some of the greatest questions in cosmology."

"America's first experimental space station, Skylab, was designed for long durations. Skylab program objectives were twofold: To prove that humans could live and work in space for extended periods, and to expand our knowledge of solar astronomy well beyond Earth-based observations. The program was successful in all respects despite early mechanical difficulties."

"The laboratory will provide online access to data from real physical instruments and equipment - developing cutting-edge technology including: remote access to laboratories and observatories: students can operate real physical equipment controlled remotely - a method already established in astronomy virtual laboratories and instruments, such as the virtual microscope: interactive screen experiments will include photo-realistic recordings of physical experiments and replicate the behaviours of real specimens online field investigations: these can involve electronic access to a conventional field trip or offer a virtual experience using satellite-borne and remotely-operated sensors citizen science: a distributed way of gathering data, where non-professionals collect or process data as part of a scientific enquiry. This data can be combined to offer new insights.
