	IECS STRASBOURG, FRANCE
		Strasbourg is in the heart of Europe, at the core of its industrial, cultural, and institutional establishments.
		Strasbourg, while a business center, is also home to numerous parks and gardens and enchanting old quarters like "La Petite France" and the area around the Cathedral.
		It is with such a rich culture that Strasbourg is able to find a comfortable balance between the services expected of a city and the freedom of a community which remains a proud representative of its region." (Text taken from Strasbourg.Info 10/27/2002).

	Observatory of Strasbourg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Observatory of Strasbourg is an observatory in Strasbourg, France.
		It was built in 1881, when the city was again part of the German Empire.
		Today the observatory studies stellar evolution and coordinates major astronomical databases.

	European Audiovisual Observatory
		The observatory was set up to provide reliable information services, and also to improve the infrastructure of information collection and dissemination in Europe.
		The observatory was established in December l992, and currently thirty-three European states and the European Commission are members.
		The observatory was created under the auspices of Audiovisual Eureka, and functions within the framework of the Council of Europe.

	Observatory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ground-based observatories, located on the surface of Earth, are used to make observations in the radio and visible light portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
		Most modern ground-based observatories are located far from major centers of population in order to avoid the effects of light pollution.
		Space-based observatories can be used to observe astronomical objects at wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum that cannot penetrate the Earth's atmosphere and are thus impossible to observe using ground-based telescopes.

	Audiovisual and Media Policies \| Europa
		The Community participation in the Observatory has been further extended for the period 2007 till 2013 by decision of the European Parliament and the Council on 15 November 2006 (Media 2007).
		The Observatory's work is dedicated to the systematic collection, preparation and distribution of relevant information on the audiovisual sector in Europe.
		Based in Strasbourg, the Observatory executes its tasks with its own staff of experts and a network of partners and information providers who are all specialists in their field of competence.

	ASP: The Gravity of the Situation
		Indeed, several changes of nationality since its founding in the late 19th century, high-profile scientists in residence, and big projects born (e.g., HIPPARCOS) or maintained (e.g., CDS) in the Observatory give it a unique place in the international astronomical community.
		The French university had already been moved to Clermont-Ferrand in central France, and German staff ran the activities in Strasbourg during the conflict.
		The area returned to France in 1945, but, still today, the region obeys rules different from the rest of France with a so-called Local Law, priests and other cult ministers are paid by the State, different payrolls for civil servants, trains running on the right like in Germany, etc.

		France's earth sciences observatory in Strasbourg said the epicenter of the quake, which struck at 6:31 pm (1731 GMT), was in Baume-les-Dames, a town of 6,000 people around 20 kilometres (12 miles) from Besancon.
		The tremor was felt in an area stretching from the French cities of Lyon and Strasbourg to Geneva in Switzerland to southwestern Germany, and sparked worried calls to media stations and local services from inhabitants.

		Strasbourg Astronomical Observatory is quite an interesting place for historians: several changes of nationality between France and Germany, high-profile scientists having been based there, big projects born or installed within its walls, and so on.
		Most of the documents circulating on the history of the Observatory and on related matters have however been so far poorly referenced, if at all.
		Several appendices conclude the book: lists of council members and of Observatory scientific personnel, as well as a compendium of the institutional publications until the year 2000.

		This is the surprising conclusion reached by an international team of astronomers led by GianLuca Israel of the Astronomical Observatory of Rome [1], and based on detailed observations of the faint light from these two stars with some of the world's most advanced telescopes.
		It was due to this emission that it was first detected as a celestial X-ray source of unknown origin by the German ROSAT space observatory in 1994.
		Follow-up observations were carried out with several world class telescopes, including the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory in Chile, and also the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG), the Italian 4-m class observatory at the Roche de Muchachos Observatory on La Palma in the Canary Islands.

		Spectrographic analysis shows that 3,000 stars, once believed to be separate from Andromeda, move in lockstep with the galaxy’s rotation, as part of its outer disk.
		In a related finding, new images from the Gemini South telescope in Chile exposed another giant disk around NGC 300, a far less massive galaxy that resembles our own but is 6 million light-years away.
		Using Gemini’s high-end optics, Joss Bland-Hawthorn of the Anglo-Australian Observatory and astronomer Ken Freeman of Australian National University counted the brightest stars on the galaxy’s fringes.
