Astronomy Optical and radio astronomy can be performed with ground-based observatories, because the atmosphere is transparent at those wavelengths. Optical astronomy refers to the techniques used to detect and analyze light in and slightly around the wavelengths than can be detected with the eyes (about 400 - 800 nm). Astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs still play an active role, especially in the discovery and monitoring of transient phenomena. www.informsearch.com /wikipedia/a/as/astronomy.html

IRAF Project Home Page IRAF is written and supported by the IRAF programming group at the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO) in Tucson, Arizona. Other external or layered packages are available for applications such as data acquisition or handling data from other observatories and wavelength regimes such as the Hubble Space Telescope (optical), EUVE (extreme ultra-violet), or ROSAT and AXAF or Chandra (X-ray).

Conferences and Meetings ADASS '95, held in Tucson, AZ, was hosted by the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (October 22-25, 1995). ADASS '96 was hosted by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and the University of Virginia Departments of Astronomy and Computer Science (September 22-25, 1996). The goal of the meeting held in Pasadena, June 13- 16, 2000, was to explore the possibilities for new astronomy with large digital sky surveys and archives, and to define the technical needs and the mandate for the future National (and ultimately Global) Virtual Observatory. www.cv.nrao.edu /fits/www/yp_meetings.html   (1988 words)

Kitt Peak National Observatory In 1984, the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO) was formed, consolidating management of the three national groundbased optical observatories: Kitt Peak National Observatory, the National Solar Observatory with facilities at Kitt Peak and Sacramento Peak, New Mexico, and the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. Kitt Peak today is home to the world's largest collection of optical telescopes, under skies which continue to be some of the finest in the world for astronomical observations. It was in October of 1958 that the Tohono O'odham Nation (then known as the Papago Tribe) signed an agreement with the National Science Foundation and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) Inc., and Kitt Peak National Observatory was established. www.xs4all.nl /~carlkop/kittpeak.html   (840 words)
