What should I do my astronomy assignment on?
I’m in year eight and I want something easy but interesting to for do my astronomy essay. I can do pretty much anything from sea tides to black holes. Any ideas?
How about the reason Pluto was recently downgraded from being a planet. You could also do an essay on the Hubble telescope, when it was built, how it was built. Another good one for your grade would be shooting stars, and what causes them to illuminate in the sky.

”It’s the journey”: Exploring the consequences of a professional development workshop for college astronomy faculty. $49.99 The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the range of consequences of a professional development workshop for two- and four-year college astronomy faculty. Its focus was how faculty participants chose to incorporate ideas and teaching strategies from the workshop with their own teaching ideas and practices. Data included pre- and post-workshop open-ended survey responses on teaching strategies from 126 faculty, follow-up online survey responses on reported teaching practices from forty-one faculty, semi-structured interviews and classroom observations with five faculty “heavy adopters” of the workshop teaching techniques, and surveys from their students. Analytical techniques used were both traditional, such as clustering, counting, and iterative descriptive coding (Miles and Huberman, 1994); as well as non-traditional, such as circle graphs (Aumann et al., 1999), and analysis of linguistic metaphors (Martin and Lueckenhausen, 2005). The main consequence of this study is that faculty development workshops can help support faculty as they create their own teaching path, and support their students in doing the same. Faculty participants reported incorporating workshop teaching strategies to their teaching practice following their participation. Interviews with and classroom observations with the five “heavy adopters” characterized how each individual retrofitted the techniques to suit his or her own teaching approaches, as revealed by their dominant teaching metaphor, as well as the metaphors used by their students to describe their classes. |

1,001 Celestial Wonders to See Before You Die: The Best Sky Objects for Star Gazers $31 Many deep-sky objects that can appear quite wonderful in photographs can be hard to observe in the telescope. This book is your guide to the more interesting nebulae, star clusters, and galaxies, objects that will bring gasps when you see them through a telescope.Author Michael E.

And he guides your search for the famous named splendors you’ve heard of — and perhaps seen a picture of — and would like to see through your own telescope.Bakich, an observer since he was in third grade, knows the sky better than most. In his current position as senior editor and also photo editor for the highly regarded Astronomy magazine, he has the technical expertise and finely honed communication skills to help you easily locate the best sites in the sky. His more than 250 astroimages help you identify the detail in these sky wonders. Bakich organizes his 1,001 objects according to their best viewing months, so anytime is a good time to pick up this book and start observing.

10×50mm Waterproof Binoculars $126.99 WRK1009: The Oberwerk 10×50WA is our most compact porro-prism binocular. We were first introduced to the 10×50WA when the senior optical engineer at the factory brought it to us in a bucket of water! The ceramic bridges keep the oculars in perfect alignment, in order to maintain a waterproof seal. Because the 10×50WA focuses to less than 30 feet, it’s great for bird watching as well. The bright, wide 6.5 field of view also makes these ideal for binocular astronomy. At a relatively low 10x power, they offer a steady view even when hand-holding. Heavily rubber-armored metal body, with brass 1/4-20 tripod adapter threading. Also includes right ocular diopter adjustment, Fujinon-style soft rubber ocular cover, attached soft rubber objective covers, and rugged nylon case. Features: -Water-proof binoculars available that uses a convenient center focus. -Ideal for all kinds of outdoor activies such as sports, hunting, nautical usage, wildlife observation. -Small enough not to get in the way. -A great choice for those that wear eyeglasses. -Objective size: 50mm. -Magnification: 10x. -Prism: BAK4 . -Optic coating: Combination fully-multi-coated. -Field of view: 114m at 1000m (6.5 ). -Exit pupil diameter: 5mm. -Exit pupil distance (eye relief): 18mm. -Minimum focus distance: 9m. |

Excerpt: Shen Kuo or Shen Gua (Chinese: ; pinyin: Shn Kuò; Wade-Giles: Shen K’uo) (10311095), style name Cunzhong () and pseudonym Mengqi (now usually given as Mengxi) Weng (), was a polymathic Chinese scientist and statesman of the Song Dynasty (9601279). Excelling in many fields of study and statecraft, he was a mathematician, astronomer, meteorologist, geologist, zoologist, botanist, pharmacologist, agronomist, archaeologist, ethnographer, cartographer, encyclopedist, general, diplomat, hydraulic engineer, inventor, academy chancellor, finance minister, governmental state inspector, poet, and musician. He was the head official for the Bureau of Astronomy in the Song court, as well as an Assistant Minister of Imperial Hospitality. At court his political allegiance was to the Reformist faction known as the New Policies Group, headed by Chancellor Wang Anshi (10211086). In his Dream Pool Essays (; Mengxi Bitan) of 1088, Shen was the first to describe the magnetic needle compass, which would be used for navigation (first described in Europe by Alexander Neckam in 1187). Shen discovered the concept of true north in terms of magnetic declination towards the north pole, with experimentation of suspended magnetic needles and “the improved meridian determined by Shen’s measurement of the distance between the polestar and true north”. This was the decisive step in human history to make compa… |
