	Astronomy Encyclopedia
		Astronomy is the science of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as auroras and cosmic background radiation).
		Modern astronomy is not to be confused with astrology, the belief system that claims that human affairs are correlated with the positions of celestial objects.
		One of the oldest fields in astronomy, and in all of science, is the measurement of the positions of celestial objects.

	radio astronomy: a project by r a d i o q u a l i a (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Radio Astronomy is an art and science project which broadcasts sounds intercepted from space live on the internet and on the airwaves.
		Radio Astronomy correlates the processes associated with broadcast radio - the transmission of audible information, and the processes of radio astronomy - the observation and analysis of radiated signals from planets, stars and other astrophysical objects.
		A musique concréte reading of the project would depict the telescopes as grand concréte instruments, performing an ongoing and automated composition, nuanced by the complex interplay of the astronomers' target observations, the atmospheric conditions of a particular period, and the operational condition of the telescopes.

	What is Radio Astronomy?
		Astronomy, perhaps the oldest of Sciences, is the study of celestial objects including the planets, stars, galaxies - even the Universe as a whole.
		Traditional optical astronomy is great for studying objects such as stars and galaxies that emit a lot of visible light.
		The void grew so large that it broke out of the disk of the galaxy, forming a chimney that extends more than 3,000 light years out of both sides of the galactic plane.

	Galaxies In Voids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Voids are not immediately recognized in the surface distribution of galaxies because they are superimposed by background and especially by foreground galaxies.
		Voids are recognized only after Doppler velocities have been measured for statistically homogeneous samples of galaxies in selected solid angles of the sky, which provides direct information on the three-dimensional distribution of galaxies.
		They find that galaxies in voids defined by brighter galaxies tend to be concentrated close to the walls of the voids in a hierarchical manner, similar to the behaviour of brighter galaxies.

		Another common feature is that whatever was "home" for the particular culture was assumed to the the center of the cosmos.
		Astrology was born in these stories: the attempt by humans to understand and to influence their destiny through patterns among the stars and planets that were supposed to have influence on our lives.
		Many giants in the development of modern astronomy payed the bills by casting horoscopes for patrons, even as they were simultaneously laying the foundation for a new world view that would leave no place for astrology and related hokum.

	Rantings of a Maverick Scientist: What Lies Beneath the Void
		To complete the picture you also need a void in which the atoms move, a concept that produced fervent debate, for example, is the void a ‘nothing’ or a ‘something’ and is it a continuum or does the void itself have an uncuttable smallest unit.
		This activity, known as quantum fluctuations, corresponds to an intrinsic energy of the void, the ‘zero-point energy’, which, if the void were a continuum, would be infinite.
		This would be a ground-breaking discovery as the Casimir force is a fundamental property of the void and reversing it is akin to reversing gravity.

	SPACE.com -- Lonely Galaxies Appear Blue
		The voids are typically 100 million light-years across, and yet they contain only a few galaxies each.
		Taken together, the voids fill 40 percent of the volume of the universe, but their galaxies account for less than 5 percent of all galaxies.
		If this is correct, then the void galaxies may be what Hoyle calls "steady Eddies" — old galaxies that have been very conservative with how many stars they made over their lifetime.

		Explores the fascinating story of how the concepts of empty space, vacuum and the void reveal an incomprehensibly alien landscape in which all of existence is imbedded.
		Patterns in the Void examines the great dark matter and dark regions that pervade the universe, from elementary particles to the immense areas of "vacuum" that make up most of deep space, and everything that is - or is not.
		Like the void itself, the book ranges in temporal and spatial scales - from our human world, down to the molecular and sub-atomic world, and up into the farthest reaches of the expanding universe.

	HISTORY OF ASOD
		As the Astronomy Professor at the College of the Desert, he saw that a great many students, both young and old, still had a hunger for more.
		It was this void that inspired Ashley to establish the Astronomical Society of the Desert.
		In our association with the many professionals and amateurs in astronomy, we have found that there is also a real need for the participation of amateurs in areas of research and new discoveries such as photoelectric photometry and comet hunting to name a few.

	Astronomy - Galaxies like necklace beads - Robert Adler
		They found the voids by sifting through the two largest studies of galactic redshifts to date: the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Two Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey.
		The tidal torque theory, which derives a galaxy's rotation from the uneven distribution of the visible and dark matter from which it coalesces, predicts a galaxy's axis should be more-or-less perpendicular to the line between the galaxy and the center of the void.
		Trujillo's team found that significantly more spiral galaxies spin with their axes aligned with the filaments they are embedded in than would be expected by chance.

	Extragalactic Astronomy / Cosmology
		Some have suggested that Gerard de Vaucouleurs was the person who first uncovered the void and supercluster phenomenon because of his early (and seminal) studies of the Local supercluster.
		We were granted the telescope time to measure galaxy redshifts, and in the era when Chincarini and Rood were publishing their Mayall plots, we had the clearly stated aim of mapping the 3D galaxy distribution in a swath of sky that stretched 21 degrees to the west of Coma.
		We were astounded by the clearly defined void / supercluster structure that was visible in our Coma/A1367 redshift plot, and we proceeded to write a manuscript for the Astrophysical Journal that very carefully and completely described not only phenomenologically what we saw but provided in very carefully worded sections the best interpretation we could devise.

		The Local void is the nearest void from us and is thought to be playing an important role in the kinematics of the local universe, especially as one of the suspected source of the motion of the Local group.
		The unbalance of mass between the Local void region and the concentration at the opposite side might be the origin of the velocity of the Local group perpendicular to the Supergalactic plane, and this would be a proto-type of the evolution of the large-scale structure.
		The galaxies at the boundary of the void shows an excess of receding motion, suggesting the expansion of the Local void.

	Evidence for Electromagnetic Waves (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Modern astronomy, though, has other ways of observing the cosmos; instruments have been developed that can detect types of radiation other than light, so that we can now take "pictures" of the sky in infrared, radio, or x-ray wavelengths.
		If they moved at different speeds, the planets, stars, and galaxies would appear to be in different places depending on which wavelength we used to view them--but they don't.
		So you see, it isn't so incredible to say that light, x-rays, and microwaves are all different forms of the same thing.
