Remote RSS Feed Aesthetics of Astronomy 07 September 2010 7:56pm 
When I tell people I majored in astronomy, the general reaction is one of shock and awe. Although people don't realize just how much physics it is (which scares them even more when they found out), they're still impressed that anyone would choose to major in a physical science. Quite often, I'm asked the question, [...]
Remote RSS Feed Win 'Star Walk' and 'Solar Walk' Astrono... 07 September 2010 6:14pm 
I've had a couple of people excitedly show me the Star Walk astronomy app on their iPhones and ipads, and it really is great. You can hold your device up to the sky and it will show you a sky map of your exact position. Move your device around the sky, and it moves with [...]
Remote RSS Feed Two New Asteroids to Pass Earth This Wee... 07 September 2010 5:27pm 
Two newly discovered asteroids will pass the Earth this week. The asteroids were discovered on September 5th of this year by Andrea Boattini using the 1.5 metre reflector at Mount Lemmon in Arizona as part of the Mount Lemmon Survey.(...)Read the rest of Two New Asteroids to Pass Earth This Week (456 words) © jvois [...]
Remote RSS Feed Spiral Galaxies Could Eat Dwarfs All Acr... 07 September 2010 3:02pm 
For years, astronomers have seen evidence that – at least in our own local neighborhood — spiral galaxies are consuming smaller dwarf galaxies. As they are digested, these dwarf galaxies are severely distorted, forming structures like strange, looping tendrils and stellar streams that surround the cannibalistic spirals. But now, for the first time, a new [...]

Remote RSS Feed Hubble Spies an Amazing Cosmic Spiral 06 September 2010 9:57pm 
The Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys has captured a remarkable image of a spiral in space. No, not a spiral galaxy, (and not another Norway Spiral!) but the formation of an unusual pre-planetary nebula in one of the most perfect geometrical spirals ever seen. The nebula, called IRAS 23166+1655, is forming around the [...]
Remote RSS Feed Herschel Finds Water Around a Carbon Sta... 06 September 2010 12:36am 
There’s something strange going on around the red giant star CW Leonis (a.k.a. IRC+10216). Deep within the star’s carbon-rich veil, astronomers have detected water vapor where no water should be. CW Leonis is similar in mass to the sun, but much older and much larger. It is the nearest red giant to the sun, and [...]

Remote RSS Feed Step On The Scales: Weighing Up Planet ... 05 September 2010 10:05pm 
Scientists at the European Southern Observatory have identified the closest looking solar system to our own. They located a sun-like star more than 100 light years distant with as many as seven different planets, including one that might be the smallest ever found outside the solar system. (...)Read the rest of Step On The Scales: [...]
Remote RSS Feed The Origin of Exoplanets 05 September 2010 8:39pm 
We truly live in an amazing time for exoplanet research. It was only 18 years ago the first planet outside our solar system was discovered. Fifteen since the first confirmation of one around a main sequence star. Even more recently, direct images have begun to sprout up, as well as the first spectra of the [...]
Remote RSS Feed Astronomy Without A Telescope – Space To... 05 September 2010 12:14am 
Arthur C Clarke allegedly said that the space elevator would be built fifty years after people stopped laughing. The first space tower though… well, that might need a hundred years. The idea of raising a structure from the ground up to 100 kilometers in height seems more than a bit implausible by today's engineering standards, [...]

Remote RSS Feed The Black Hole/Globular Cluster Correlat... 04 September 2010 8:02pm 
Often in astronomy, one observable property traces another property which may be more difficult to observe directly; X-ray activity on stars can be used to trace turbulent heating of the photosphere. CO is used to trace cold H2. Sometimes these correlations make sense. Activities in stars produce the X-ray emissions. Other times, the tracer seems [...]

Welcome to thenewRadiant

Welcome to thenewRadiant!

-  a community of amateur astronomers from all over the world

We share ideas, astronomy news and observation stories, exchange hints and tips with other enthusiasts and generally keep in touch with one another and the world of amateur astronomy.

We come from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres and we range from very experienced practical observers to those who are beginning to explore the world of amateur astronomy.   Come and join in our observing projects to learn together and meet new friends in the process. Or talk about any other relevant topic in our discussion forums. Young astronomers and "astro kids" are welcome.  Members and guests also have access to our extensive links section.

 This site is dedicated to the memory of my mom, who gave me life - and the stars.
