In our third lecture of the semester, Maura Lally discusses primary exoplanet detection methods, including transits, radial velocities, and direct detections. She will go into more detail about transiting exoplanets and what we can learn about their atmospheres.
Spring 2024 Lecture Series - Solar Eclipses and Saros Cycles
มุมมอง 3018 หลายเดือนก่อน
Our fourth lecture of the semester, presented by Professor Phil Nicholson. He will discuss the basics of lunar and solar eclipses, how and why they are governed by the ancient "Saros cycle,” the circumstances of April 8’s eclipse, and ways in which eclipses have uncovered solar physics and the history of the Earth-Moon system. There is no audio from about 15 minutes into the lecture to 30 minut...
1st Annual Pi Day Celebration @ the Fuertes Observatory
มุมมอง 1989 หลายเดือนก่อน
Every year on March 14th (3.14), mathematicians, scientists, and STEM aficionados around the world take the time to celebrate the International Day of Mathematics, better known as Pi Day, and we at Fuertes are no different. This year, we marked the occasion with an informational presentation led by our own Dylan Jackaway '24, munched on some cranberry apple pie, and listened to several CAS memb...
Spring 2024 Lecture Series - The Optics of the Irving Porter Church Telescope
มุมมอง 929 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Irving Porter Church 12-inch refracting telescope in Fuertes Observatory has an objective lens designed, ground, and polished by the Brashear Company of Pittsburgh in 1920. Its original glass disks came as a gift from Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin. Based on an assumption that its two lens elements are made of the same glasses that are in the 40-inch Yerkes refractor, a provisional study h...
Spring 2024 Lecture Series - Biosignatures in the Ancient Atmosphere: Could Dinos Be Seen in Space?
มุมมอง 679 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today, evidence of life can be seen all over the Earth, from the land and oceans to the atmosphere. These observations define what we look for when searching for life on other planets. But what about ancient life on Earth? Would the earlier life that roamed the Earth during the past 500 million years (from sponges to the first trees to dinosaurs) have been detectable to aliens from faraway exop...
Spring 2024 Lecture Series - The Voyager Spacecraft: What Are We Learning Now?
มุมมอง 2229 หลายเดือนก่อน
The Cornell Astronomical Society's first lecture of the semester, presented by Professor James Cordes of the Cornell Department of Astronomy. The Voyager Spacecraft, launched in 1977, famously completed a grand tour of the planets of the solar system. About ten years ago, they left the solar system and are still sending back data. Professor Cordes will discuss this data, what we're learning fro...

Carl Sagan's 89th Birthday: His Life and Work [Cornell Astronomical Society Lecture]
มุมมอง 229ปีที่แล้ว
Cornell Astronomical Society President Gillis Lowry gives a lighthearted overview of Carl Sagan's life and legacy! There were technical difficulties throughout this talk, which causes a few slight jumpcuts during the recording. Apologizes for this. Thanks for sticking through-and thank you all for keeping Carl Sagan's legacy alive.

    People of science, be kind to the ecology of the planet. When registering gravitational waves, the noise is 99.99%, and the useful signal is 0.01% - correct. Large corporations benefit from such devices. When registering gravitational quanta, the possibility of receiving a useful signal is 75%; the noise will be 25% - the device needs improvement, Einstein dreamed of such a device. Hello. My name is Zhavlan, I am from Almaty. New physics experiment has no problem observing scientific discoveries. The problem is with people of science, are they ready to lose authority; as popularizers of science, as academicians, nobel laureates... For the sake of the ecology of our planet, I ask you to help carry out work on new experiences. New technologies remove limitations in direct physical measurements of gravitons. 🆘! More than $13 billion in environmental losses could be avoided. We are looking for help and hope for your courage to protect the nature of our planet. Construction of gravitational wave detectors is underway in China and India. There is also the launch of heavy rockets with interplanetary satellites, such as LISA and so on, not counting other resources. We need physicists who understand the difference between direct physical experience and indirect one. In the past, the Light Ether Theory had many indirect confirmations and even greater recognition from elite physicists, well, as is fashionable now; Einstein's theory of relativity. And as soon as Michelson conducted a direct experiment, the popularity of physics changed. Now a question for you: can you refer to direct experience in determining the constant speed of light? New hollow optical fiber technology allows even schoolchildren to do this. Using the Michelson-Morley Hybrid Gyro device... We will see this “Light is the ordered vibration of gravitational quanta, and the dominant gravitational fields adjust the speed of light in a vacuum.” If the device is in zero gravity and at rest relative to the dominant gravitational field, the difference in the path of light is zero.

    I think we will get some surprises over the coming decades. Life will emerge where and when conditions are suitable. That life will evolve. If 1 in 10k Stars host a life giving Planet then that will indicate life is abundant in the Milky Way Galaxy. Our Galaxy is actually more favourable to life because we have quite a small S M Blackhole meaning radiation is contained in a small Central Core.
