These are important themes for astronomers, both home and campus, in the ongoing contention between education based on objective science and that based on belief or faith. I include the exhibit 'Bodies' at South Street Seaport. It opened on 19 November 2006 for a short run. It was extended several times to the point that now it's running thru May 31st. I left it out because it was a mite and a meter beyond astronomy and space. In January and February 2007 many readers urged me to see it. OK, it still has little to do with space and astronomy but it IS one hell of a fascinating show. Just don't figure to combine it with a picnic lunch on the Seaport pier or a noon lunch sail in the harbor. In brief, it is the remains of about 25 real humans, some intact, others dissected apart. Their organs and nerves and vessels are laid out to show how the various body systems work. They look live from a special acrylic fluid that displaced the water and moisture in the tissue. I do caution that this is NOT for young children -- even tho the Seaport has a children's admission -- or weak stomachs!! You ARE inspecting items once functioning within living people who, ahem, gave their lives for science. Princeton University shuffled its astronomy lectures, dropping the Tuesday sessions at 16:15. Replacing them, at about the same academic level, are those of the Institute for Advanced Studies, at 11:00. The New York City and Long Island chapters of National Space Society are also known as New York Space Society and Long Island Space Society. These names endure from the time before the clubs became NSS chapters. You may see them under either the legacy or chapter names in their litterature. Welcome back, Urban Park Rangers! There is a detailed roster of events on their website, but under a new title and in a deep page. With it in hand I include here a selection of activities pertinent to home astronomy. Event news -------- The NYSkies Seminar on February 1st hosted NYSkier Claudio Veliz on 'Observatory design on steroids'. He showed a concept he's working on for the Adirondack Public Observatory near Tupper Lake NY. His design helps remove interior heat by the Sun at day and by crowds of visitors at night. Several NYSkiers took in a private preview opening of the new Spitzer Hall of Human Origins at American Museum of Natural History on February 8th. In addition to refreshments and the walkthru of the new gallery, we were treated to narrated tours to three of the Museum's laboratories. The hall opened for the public on the 10th as part of the features of a general admission. Starting on February 10th and running all thru March, the IRT Flushing line suspends service between Times Sq and 74 St-Broadway on weekends. Much of the cause is fitting the line for robotrain, like the BMT Canarsie line. You better figure to use IND 53 St, BMT 60 St, IND 63 St, LIRR, shuttle bus, or interboro bus for travel between Manhattan and Queens. NYSkiers and NSSers attended a private preview of the space-theme movie 'Astronaut farmer' on Saturday 10 February at the Loew's cinema on 34th St, near 9th Av. Following the show, several of us took brunch at the Starlight diner, also on 34th St. The film opened on February 23 at various cinemas in the City. By Warner Brothers, it's about a former NASA engineer, now a farmer, who builds his own Atlas-Mercury spaceship and then rides in it for several Earth orbits. NYSkiers flowed thru the Greenwich Village Antiquarian bookfair on February 23-25 at Public School #3. They scooped up several astronomy items, including many original reports from the turn of the 19th century by William Herschel and a surprisingly new book, from the early 21st century, on constellation study. While there are no bookfiars in the City in March, nearby towns offer a couple within easy reach by train or bus. Not an 'event' as such, there is a rumble at American Museum of Natural History. It started last fall but few observers caught on. By late January the news was in the public eye. It seems that Dr Neil Tyson is stepping out of the Hayden Planetarium for a year or two, but he keeps his title and office there. He's working with science media on Continued in next message. --- þ RoseReader 2.52á P005004 ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
