ROBERT KLAPISCH at TEDxGeneva 2009 (www.tedxgeneva.com/2009/speakers/robert-klapisch) AboutTEDx, x=independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self- organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x=independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

LHC Restart 2009 – Accelerating Science – Beam captured just before midnight, November 20th 2009 Geneva, 20 November 2009. Particle beams are once again circulating in the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, CERN*’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This news comes after the machine was handed over for operation on Wednesday morning. A clockwise circulating beam was established at ten o’clock this evening. This is an important milestone on the road towards first physics at the LHC, expected in 2010.

Hail Science!! Celebrating 400 years since Galileo first peered into the milky dark with the 2009 International Year of Astronomy. With images from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes. Find free space images at nasaimages.org The Chromatics’ “Shoulders of Giants” free download and lyrics available at: www.astrocappella.com Music and Lyrics by Padi Boyd © 2008, The Johannes Kepler Project It was a calm and cloudless night but it was all still a blur A shaking of our Universe was just about to occur It was Summertime… 1609 when Galileo used his telescope for the very first time and he saw mountains and craters on the moon and a Milky Way with thousands of stars and he saw Jupiter, with four tiny moons he was the only man on Earth that night who knew That Copernicus was right come outside with me tonight and I can show you wonders of the world to surprise and delight I’ve got my telescope with me just wait until you see that on the Shoulders of Giants…. … we’ll see beyond! The world turns round and round now around 400 years have flown since Galileo’s telescope first focused the unknown Now we use bigger glass to peer into the past And we’re discovering the Universe’s secrets at last And there are geysers on Saturn’s icy moon and planets circling hundreds of stars while all the Universe expands like a balloon from Galileo’s tiny scope we’ve come so far Galileo was right when he looked out in the night and he discovered wonders of the world to surprise and delight I …

ESOcast 10: GigaGalaxy Zoom Project – The Sky, From The Eye To The Telescope. — Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — In the framework of the International Year of Astronomy 2009, ESO has launched a new project aimed at connecting the sky as seen by the unaided eye with that seen by hobby and professional astronomers. The project, called GigaGalaxy Zoom, reveals three amazing, ultra-high-resolution images of the night sky that online stargazers can zoom in on and explore in an incredible level of detail. The reward is the most breathtaking dive ever made into our Galaxy, linking the sky seen by all with the cosmos studied by astronomers. In this episode of ESOcast we will explore the unique and amazing GigaGalaxy Zoom project, which reveals the whole night sky as it appears with the unaided eye from one of the darkest deserts on Earth. The project allows users to zoom in on a rich region of the Milky Way with the magnification offered by a hobby telescope and then to go one step further, using the power of a professional telescope to explore details of an iconic nebula. Most of the photographs comprising the three GigaGalaxy Zoom images were taken from La Silla and Paranal, two of ESOs observing sites in Chile. The wonderful quality of the images is a testament to the splendour of the night sky at these ESO sites, which are the most productive astronomical observatories in the world. — ESOcast is produced by ESO, the …

The first national observatories were built for two practical reasons: to provide accurate timekeeping, and to assist surveyors with mapping. As technology developed, telescopes became larger and provided more detailed images. Astronomers, in turn, became increasing interested in understanding the stars and objects that they could now see using these higher-resolution telescopes. The 15″ refracting telescope featured in this video was built by the Warner and Swasey company of Cleveland, Ohio. It was originally located at Ottawa’s Dominion Observatory. With the closure of this observatory in 1970s, it was moved to the Canada Science and Technology Museum. It is now housed in the Museum’s Helen Sawyer Hogg Observatory, where it is used for public astronomy education. To learn more about telescopes, and the Helen Sawyer Hogg Observatory, visit the Canada Science and Technology Museum. www.scientech.technomuses.ca
