	Isaac Newton Telescope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Isaac Newton Telescope or INT is a 2.5m optical telescope run by the ING at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma in the Canary Islands.
		As is customary for astronomical telescopes, the telescope foundations were entirely separate from the foundations of the dome and the rest of the structure in order to minimise telescope vibrations from movements of the dome (with an air gap of a few centimeters inbetween, going down many meters below the telescope platform).
		The INT is a Cassegrain telescope, with a 2.54m diameter primary mirror and a focal length of 7.5m.

		Newton was the first to promulgate a set of natural laws that could govern both terrestrial motion and celestial motion, and is credited with providing mathematical substantiation for Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which he expanded by arguing that orbits (such as those of comets) could be elliptic, hyperbolic, or parabolic.
		Newton was the first to realise that the spectrum of colours observed when white light passed through a prism is inherent in the white light and not added by the prism (as Roger Bacon had claimed in the 13th century), and also notably argued that light is composed of particles.
		Newton was born in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth (at Woolsthorpe Manor), a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire.

		Newton also developed a law of cooling, describing the rate of cooling of objects when exposed to air; the binomial theorem in its entirety; and the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum.
		Newton was born in Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, a hamlet in the county of Lincolnshire.
		Newton was secretly a unitarian and arian; he did not believe in the church's doctrine of divine trinity.

		Although the rings may be the key to explaining the final agonized ‘gasp’ of the dying central star, the mystery behind the Cat’s Eye nebula’s nested Russian doll structure remains largely unsolved.
		However, Romano Corradi (Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes, Spain) and collaborators, in a paper published in the European journal Astronomy & Astrophysics in April 2004, have instead shown that the formation of these rings is likely to be the rule rather than the exception.
		The group of astronomers involved in the April 2004, Astronomy & Astrophysics paper are: R.L.M. Corradi (Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes, Spain), P. Sanchez-Blazquez (Universidad Complutense, Spain), G. Mellema (Foundation for Research in Astronomy, The Netherlands), C. Giammanco (Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, Spain) and H.E.

		This involves removing the mirror cell from the telescope, lowering the mirror to the ground floor, washing off the old surface with caustic soda and resurfacing in a large vacuum tank.
		The effective focal length of the telescope for the Cassegrain and Nasmyth foci is 46.2 m (f/11).

	A Broadband Wide-Field Survey on the Isaac Newton Telescope
		Programme is a multi-colour broadband imaging survey being carried out on the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope at the Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos on La Palma.
		The 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) is the oldest of the three telescopes that comprise the Isaac Newton Group of telescopes on La Palma.
		In an era when several very large telescope projects will be coming on line in the near future (e.g., Gemini North and South, ESO VLT) a shift in emphasis of the role of the INT towards wide field optical image surveys is clearly highly desirable.

		The idea behind this WebQuest is to teach you about Isaac Newton and his Laws of Motion in an unconventional way.
		Students should already be familiar with Isaac Newton, the basic ideas behind Newton's Laws, and how they can be applied.
		Upon completing this assignment you will have a better understanding of Isaac Newton as a person and his Laws of Motion, as well as how they apply to the world we live in.

		With the changing landscape in astronomy, in particular the advent of the 8-m class telescopes, the scientific requirements for the ING telescopes are also changing.
		The exploitation of the ING telescopes is gradually shifting from being a multi-purpose facility with a wide range of instruments to a more focused and specialized set of telescopes.
		Discussions are under way with other European telescope operators to explore the possibilities of coordinating the use of medium-class telescopes across the usual national boundaries with the aim of achieving higher efficiency while retaining a wide range of instrument capabilities for the participating countries.

		In this detailed view from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, the so- called Cat's Eye Nebula looks like the penetrating eye of the disembodied sorcerer Sauron from the film adaptation of "Lord of the Rings." The nebula, formally catalogued NGC 6543, is every bit as inscrutable as the J.R.R. Tolkien phantom character.
		Although the Cat's Eye Nebula was the first planetary nebula ever to be discovered, it is one of the most complex planetary nebulae ever seen in space.
		The bull's-eye patterns seen around planetary nebulae come as a surprise to astronomers because they had no expectation of episodes of mass loss at the end of stellar lives that repeat every 1,500 years or so.

		For the last visit in November, 2001, at least the students were able to take the direct flight with one member of staff, whilst the rest of the party travelled via Spain, with a change of airports in Tenerife.
		As the Jacobus Kapteyn telescope is scheduled to close, however, this would probably be our last trip to the telescope, and a determined effort was made to organise the trip.
		The sunset which occurred whilst the observing programme was being put into the telescope was quite spectacular.
