Phil Plait-Point of Inquiry 3/4

logo

Part 4 www.youtube.com Phil Plait works in the physics and astronomy department at Sonoma State University. In the early 90s, he started Badastronomy.com, which has become a popular website focused on educating the public about astronomy and space science, especially as regards common misconceptions and pseudoscientific astronomy claims. In recent years, he has also been involved with debunking several more general pseudoscientific theories. In March 2006, Science magazine celebrated the Bad Astronomy website, praising Plaits blog, begun in March 2005. This blog was also a finalist for the 2006 Weblog Award (the Bloggie). The author of one book, The Bad Astronomer, Phil Plait is also a regular contributor to many online publications, including The Huffington Post. In this interview with DJ Grothe, Phil Plait discusses science education, the need for the public appreciation of science, public investment in space science, and how such investment benefits society. He also addresses the question of sciences compatibility with religion, and explores social conflicts surrounding the teaching of evolution in the public schools. www.pointofinquiry.org

GigaGalaxy Zoom – From The Eye To The Telescope

logo

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

Blood Dove Studios’ triumphant return to the screen is here! It Came From A Meteor alludes to all the old wonderful sience fiction films, mostly Plan 9, but there are others as well. Enjoy our retro take on scifi and look forward to more! Blood Dove would also like to welcome the addition of its new actor Mike Rocha as the terrifying monster! And lastly Blood Dove would lend extra thanks to Matt Gilbert for largely forming the film into what it is with his mastery of special effects and titles!
