Sidewalk Astronomers' Logo
***Thanks to Gerard Pardeilhan, we have a new, updated logo for the Sidewalk
Astronomers. We ask everyone to place it on thier websites and in any club
literature produced. The logo is available with Sidewalk Astronomers written
across the bottom and we have it in different resolutions for web and print.
Please change the old one for this newer version.*
Karma Gazing!
One of our members recently sent an email with a link for an experiment,
Karma Kitchen. Basically, you pay for the next person's meal and we thought
we should try Karma Gazing. It just seemed like such a natural fit, we are
passing on something valuable for free, or as Pancho said "we don't do it
for free, we do it as a gift!"
So maybe we can encourage others to pass on that gift, or at least one of
thier own. Everyone, please go to
http://www.helpothers.org/<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001rRPfgh5jGozaq6De41b9aitVNoJ9GY7SjVMCkBFvSKc44bwVNE8ASQaJzalFmgdiAyBp3gip77g8rjENG4fp2UaOasirBQt_-oX3peNUujIG61e-fBzF8A==>and
download the Smile Cards and hand them out when doing public events.
Ideally, the cards are to be given or left anonymously, but we are kind of
in the dark and it isn't that we *know* the public at the eyepeice.
Let's just try. With so much going on this year it could be that we inspire
thousands of people to commit random acts of kindness. Can't hurt and it
might help a little!
Donate to help the Sidewalk Astronomers!
Suggested donations/dues are:
Individuals $15
Clubs $30
Students $10
We appreciate donations in any amount.

"What's Up" at JPL
Another of the great resources of JPL is the monthly "What's Up" video
podcast done by Jane Houston Jones. Besides giving you information about
what and where to look in sky, she adds information about current missions
which will be interesting to the public as they observe through your scope.
The podcasts can be downloaded as well as the transcripts at
http://education.jpl.nasa.gov/amateurastronomy<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001rRPfgh5jGoz5dxJQoXkOPFv7pbYM-J_tLwygONa-idOrZt0vzfJlmR5DAM_tuAbOODZRU4WSrsmnwdHgWQTAfhR1IDjR6OP6_gPXYuANR4tUwHRzebgeWSednz-yq-5VaV265ii9t_c=>or

[image: iya] Yearly Death Valley Trip
Once again we are inviting everyone to join us on our yearly Death Valley
trip. We arrive in Death Valley on Dec 26 and leave on Dec 30. John gives a
talk at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center on Dec 27.
This is not an all-night observing kind of star party event. We do daytime
solar observing, telescope building or repair and evening viewing for the
public at the visitor center. When the public goes leaves, so do we and
since they are hiking all day, they leave pretty early (by 10PM or so).
But it is a nice trip. Every year, people from all over the world tell us
the reason they come to Death Valley at that time is because they know we
will be there.
If you are interested, send an email to
sidewalkastronomers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'll send you information about
lodging, activities, camping etc. Most
things fill up very quickly and it might be difficult already to get hotel
rooms or campsites, but we can offer alternatives.

Sidewalk Astronomers
*Greetings!* It is a very busy time and we have a lot of information to
cover in this newsletter. I also need to apologize, I have been using the
newletter to update everyone on our "formal" activities (ISAN, IYA) and I
completely forgot about including some really good observing reports and
articles that members have sent. I am correcting that oversite in this
newsletter.
With all the activites that we have happening, it would be great if someone
would like to help with the newsletters. This is a really easy program to
use, so please let me know if you are interested.
Sidewalk Astronomers Board of Directors Elections
It is time again to submit nominees for officers/board members for the
Sidewalk Astronomers. It would be nice if we had more international
representation on our board.
These are the current holders and nominations that we have so far. If you
wish to nominate yourself or someone else or would like more information
about the duties of these officers, please send an email to
sidewalkastronomers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx . Nominations are open until Nov 30, 2008.
A final list of nominees will be sent in the December newsletter for voting.
One note, nominees for President and Secretary/Treasurer must be in the Los
Angeles area because that is where our office, bank, and mailing address are
located and we don't have the resources to move the office.
President: Bill Scott
Vice President: George Willis
Secretary /Treasurer: Katy Haughland
Managing Director - Donna Smith
Board Member: John Dobson
Board Member: Denis Svechkarev/Kharkov, Ukraine
Board Member: Kenneth Frank/San Francisco, Ca, USA
Board Member: Herman Heyn/Baltimore, Md, USA
Board Member: Jeffry Newsome, Driggs, Id, USA
Board Member: Jeffrey Jacobs/Rye, NY, USA
Board Member: Hector Vasquez, Los Angeles, Ca, USA
International Year of Astronomy (IYA)
By now you are all probably aware of the IYA and are making plans to
participate. There are numerous projects to which the Sidewalk Astronomers
can be beneficial. Below are descriptions of some of these projects and the
links to their individual websites. Please check our website frequently for
updates and Sidewalk participation in IYA. Because of the number of
projects, we won't be having any registration forms on the Sidewalk
Astronomers website, you will need to register for projects on the project
website but, we do ask that you 1) note your Sidewalk Astronomers
affiliation when you register (ex. astronomy club name/ Sidewalk
Astronomers) and 2) post your observing reports and results on our website
as well. We are setting up several message boards for that purpose. As you
can tell, 2009 will be a busy year and many of these projects overlap,
hopefully you will be able to keep all the projects and acronyms sorted out.
Please let us know what you are doing!
We have Sidewalk Astronomers Regional Organizers for these events.
Antarctica - Donna Smith dsmith1055@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

are interested in heading the efforts in your country, please contact your
Regional Organizer.
*100 Hours of AStronomy (100HA) IYA Cornerstone Project*
April 2-5, 2009. This project will depend heavily on amateur astronomers, we
need to get out and do as many public programs as possible during this time.
Depending on local customs and conditions, it would be great if everyone
would do public library programs on Thursday, April 2; school programs on
Friday, April 3; International Sidewalk Astronomy Night (ISAN) on Saturday
April 4th, and afternoon solar observing on Sunday, April 5th. Sidewalk
Astronomy is major component of the 100HA, WE NEED YOU!! Please check the
website, www.100hoursofastronomy.org and sign up for that email list and
start registering your events. (note: an updated website is in testing mode
and should be up and running in the next few days.).
PLEASE be sure to register for this event because we won't be having a
separate registration for ISAN and we expect this to be the best ISAN so
far.
*Dark Skies Awareness (DSA) IYA Cornerstone Project *
"Dark Skies are a Universal Resource" is one of seven primary US themes
being developed for the International Year of Astronomy in 2009. Dark Skies
Awareness has also been selected as one of the dozen major international
"cornerstone" projects for the larger IYA effort. There are several
activities and projects included in this theme. Astronomy Nights in the
(National) Parks ; Dark Skies Discovery Sites ; GLOBE at Night ; Earth Hour
; The Great Switch Out ; Great World Wide Star Count (
http://www.windows.ucar.edu/citizen_science/starcount/) and we hope that you
register for these activities and help to educate the public about the
importance of dark skies. We would also be interested to hear ideas about
how the Sidewalk Astronomers can be more active in this area, so let us know
what you are currently doing or what you would like to do. One idea was to
show the public photos of a dark sky when holding public events in light
polluted areas. For more information: http://astronomy2009.us/darkskies/ and
http://www.astronomy2009.org/globalprojects/cornerstones/darkskiesawareness/
*Universe Awareness (UNAWE) IYA Cornerstone Project*
UNAWE is an international outreach activity that uses the beauty and
grandeur of the universe to inspire very young disadvantaged children. Goals
are to: broaden children's minds, awaken their curiosity in science, and
stimulate global citizenship and tolerance. There are several national
programs, but this should and could be done in every country. We should all
pledge to do progams in underpriviledged areas at least a few times in the
coming year.

*Galileoscope IYA Cornerstone Project
*The Galileoscope project is an official cornerstone project and is perhaps
the most visible project of the International Year of Astronomy. It will
have children in the US and worldwide build Galileoscopes in school, museum,
nature and science center, national park, and library settings. Another key
venue is the distribution of the telescopes to over 50 amateur astronomy
clubs in the US with a track record in doing extensive educational outreach
to their community. In each of these venues, the Galileoscope is embedded in
a much larger educational context after extensive peer review of the
educational design and educational benefits of the project. Thus the broader
and longer-term educational role of the Galileoscopes in astronomy and
physical science education is assured.
The Galileoscope is not identical to Galileo's telescope - It is better. He
had a single front or objective lens that generated spurious colors-our
children will have a two lens doublet gathering light in an achromatic,
color-accurate arrangement. Galileo had a single negative lens eyepiece that
provided a very narrow field-of-view. Our three-lens eyepiece design gives a
much wider and flatter field-of-view.
http://www.astronomy2009.org/globalprojects/cornerstones/galileoscope/<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001rRPfgh5jGoys34W6cu2lY3e63MqAqi2VA64troKjBr5Bdom2m4jeDUErfSyrtNqZed-3kwgnnceSnp41y5QgQevmC6pJcbQpP4RPOUiNm9_nxD1kirVla9V8BFu0P_Yk8HANwQqDF3BfvtQJfqED6-cCTMDpbEyDANpODw_5YLBtIzy6Yxk86A==>
*400 Years of the Telescope IYA Special Project*
Slated for worldwide release in January 2009, the film 400 Years of the
Telescope weaves a far-flung tapestry of astronomy, technology, and
humanity, exploring how Galileo Galilei's's first telescopic observations of
the heavens forever changed man's views the universe-and his place in it.
The film zips across dozens of time zones and six centuries, from the days
of Copernicus to recent findings from the Hubble Telescope. There is a
companion planetarium program, Two Small Pieces of Glass, educational
webcasts and other components designed to spin off the film and planetarium
program. Worldwide distribution is part of the plan; the film will be
translated into the languages of 40+ participating countries. Whenever this
film is shown in theaters, there should be Sidewalk Astronomers outside
allowing the public to look through a telescope. Please check the website
www.400years.org<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001rRPfgh5jGozV7gr1u9TKsGmkO8pc7utbekHXeYhxu34DZ2d-4Kb9XviSmg-cXhf5HvTgURnVF8d9MCLB2al9uuDEDuYtokkRRnbg3btQmqYmNOeTtm8fDA==>
to
stay informed about the viewing schedule.
*The World at Night (TWAN) IYA Special Project*
The World at Night (TWAN) will create and exhibit a collection of stunning
photographs and time-lapse videos of the world's most beautiful and historic
sites against a night-time backdrop of stars, planets and celestial events.
These images will present the night sky to the public in an accessible and
understandable manner. The sky rises above all the landmarks and symbols of
different nations and regions creating a bridge to understanding and
friendship. When borders vanish, political and cultural differences become
irrelevant. The universal nature of astronomy provides the means to connect
people worldwide through this common interest.

*Gailiean Satellites IYA Special Project*
We propose here to participate to the observation of the mutual phenomena of
the Galilean satellites of Jupiter, joining the international network of
observers. This network started working more than 20 years ago gathering
scientific data of high interest allowing to know more about the Galilean
satellites of Jupiter: Io and its volcanoes, Europa and its ice crust,
Ganymede and Callisto. These observations are very rare since they are
possible only at the time of the equinox on Jupiter, i.e. only every six
years. The next opportunity will take place in 2009. Don't miss this
opportunity the more so as these observations are possible even with a small
telescope.

*Portal to the Universe Cornerstone Project*
The Portal to the Universe (PTTU) seeks to provide a global, one-stop portal
for online astronomy content, serving as an index, aggregator and a social
networking site for astronomy content providers, laypeople, press,
educators, decision-makers and scientists. PTTU will feature news, image,
event and video aggregation; a comprehensive directory of observatories,
facilities, astronomical societies, amateur astronomy societies, space
artists, and science communication universities. Everyone should register
for this project.

[image: earl]Update on John Dobson
John fell and injured his foot a few weeks ago but it is healing nicely.
Unfortunately, becasue of his foot he was unable to travel to San Francisco
and is still in Los Angeles. He has stated that he is ready to resume his
former schedule and is looking forward to speaking to clubs and attending
star parties. If you are interested in having JD speak to your organization
or attend your star party, please contact us at
sidewalkastronomers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx . John also wishes to thank everyone again
for all the letters, cards, emails, and calls that he received while he was
recouperating from his stroke.
John had a nice 93rd birthday celebration at the P.A.T.S. conference in
Pasadena in September. He was especially please that he was introduced and
got to spend time with his great friend David Levy.
The above photo was taken when John visited his friend Earl Junghaus in
Menlo Park. Earl is the artist who did the drawning for John's telescope
plans and the wooden cover book. Photo taken by Earl's wife, Baker.
*Sidewalk Astronomers International Exchange*
This is one of the programs that we have been so eager to implement. In the
past, it has mostly been John (and sometimes me) traveling to visit other
countries and we wanted the chance to host some international amateurs here
in the US. In August, we finally had the opportunity when we were host to
Denis Svechkarev and Anton Viseburg from Kharkov, Ukraine. We had visited
Kharkov in 2002 and met Denis again in the Crimea in 2006 and were happy to
finally have him as a guest here.
We were to meet our guests in Tucson, at Kitt Peak but were surprised by
them early when we all ended up at the same motel. The guys at Kitt Peak
were fantastic, giving us a great tour and lunch and we were hosted later
that evening by David and Wendee Levy. It was a perfect way to start our
adventure.
Arriving back in Los Angeles, we arranged dinner with Sidewalk Astronomers
President Bill Scott and several of John's friends at the Vedanta Society
in Hollywood, special tours of JPL, Mt. Wilson, Palomar, and Griffith. HUGE
thanks to Mike Simmons, Scott Kardel, Don Nicholson, Jane and Morris Jones,
and Tony Cook. Without the assitance and support of these guys, the trip
would not have been a success and they provided some of the greatest
memories for these visitors.
One of the times we enjoyed the most was attending an evening showing of a
film at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary. They screen old films on the side of
one of the buildings in an undeveloped area of the cemetary (we weren't
sitting of graves!) Since we had a telescope, we took it out and did some
sidewalk or graveside astronomy.
After seeing the sights in the LA area, we headed up to San Franciso and
besides the usual attractions like the Golden Gate Bridge, tours of Lick
Observatory, Chabot Science Center and meetings with some of the San
Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers were on the agenda. Special thanks again to
Ken Frank and the staff of Lick and Chabot for going out of thier way to
make this trip a success.
There are so many people to thank, I have to apologize for leaving many of
them out of this short article. Denis has written a more extensive account
and as soon as he has it translated, it will be posted on the website.
Herman Heyn - Baltimore Sidewalk Astronomer
At an age when most people are retiring, Herman Heyn, 77, discovered his
calling.
"I had many different jobs, never had a career in one, though," Heyn said.
"I worked in sales, as a lab technician, at Pratt Library two years through
a 'Great Society' program of Lyndon Johnson's that trained local people to
work in public venues.
"The longest job I ever had was 12 years as an office manager and truck
driver for a small construction company."
But if you go to Baltimore's Inner Harbor on a clear night this fall, you'll
likely find the spry, gray-bearded "street corner astronomer" pointing out
Jupiter's moons, Mars, or the rings around Saturn to wide-eyed children,
tourists, and, once, to an MIT planetary scientist.
Heyn gave fact sheets about the planets to interested observers and copies
of a New York Times story about astronomer Carolyn Porco to awe-struck young
girls like Marwa. He maintained a steady banter about the position of the
planets, listening and engaging customers in lively dialogue.
"It took me a while, but I realized I like being onstage," Heyn said.
Heyn takes his science, not just his act, seriously. He's tentatively been
credited with identifying a previously unnamed asterism -- a pattern created
by bright stars and a subset of a larger constellation. Heyn's asterism,
"Herman's Cross," is a large four-star configuration in the constellation
Sagittarius. So far, it's recognized by two websites, including the site of
astronomy software company Bisque.
Early in his "new" career, in 1994, in the aftermath of the much-anticipated
collision of the Shoemaker-Levy Comet into Jupiter, Heyn learned
serendipitously that MIT planetary scientist Heidi Hammel, leading the
Hubble Space Telescope Team's work nearby the Johns Hopkins' Homewood
campus, had snuck a peek through his "street corner" telescope.
"It doesn't matter how many thousands of times since that I've looked at
Jupiter, Mars, Saturn's rings, the mountains on the moon or the Big Dipper,"
Heyn said. "They always look beautiful to me."
