Starship Asterisk*

I have a astronomy website you might like to check. However I don’t think I cam post a link to it on this forum. It might be regarded as spamming.

I think I'll have a lot of sites to check this coming weekend. It will be Astronomy weekend!

Wow..... Soo much websites and data here. Thank you for this guyz i joined this forum to learn about astronomy and i found soo much information here. These are old ones Can some body please share the recent data if you have it?

[url=http://365daysofastronomy.org/][img]https://cosmoquest.org/x/365daysofastronomy/files/2018/05/patreon-365.jpg[/img][/url]

WOW, What a huge source of information, I will spend hours mining.
Thank you very much for the effort.

Thanks for recopilation

This is a seriously long list! Where to start?

[quote="Hofi"]Hi!

I thought it would be great to create a linklist to astronomy-related websites. So I will start:

Have fun with it![/quote]

I hope I live long enough to check out each of these websites someday. Thanks all who contributed to the list; especially Bystander. The other day looking at the Earth Science Picture of the Day I noticed their links; including the Lunar Picture of the Day. I'd try to connect the dots to see if there are some not included in the above but I [i]know[/i] I wouldn't live long enough to do both. If curious - check out the links with the EPOD below:

[url]http://epod.usra.edu/blog/2015/03/carbon-stars-of-kembles-cascade.html[/url]

A new documentary about the Northern Lights has been released - with eight languages available. Check out the trailer here

Thanks, Rob. New link: [url=http://www.andromedaobservatory.com/]http://www.andromedaobservatory.com/[/url][/quote]

Thanks hofi et al., these are cool resources, I'm bookmarking them as we speak :)

[b] Educational: [/b]
[url]https://www.coursera.org/course/introastro[/url] - A (MOOC - Massive Open Online Course) free online course on Astronomy offered by Duke University.

I am interested in hearing feedback about this course.

A friend Kathy Miles and I created [url]http://StarrySkies.com[/url], [url]http://StarrySkies.net[/url], [url]http://StarryMessenger.net[/url] and other sites. One of the more popular articles on the site is: Seeing Further,
The Legacy of Robert Hooke [url]http://starryskies.com/articles/spec/hooke.html[/url]

The main site hasn't been updated in too long a time. My friend Kathy, the primary content creator and writer passed away last summer at 53. It is still difficult dealing with the loss of my best friend.

[quote="Babak"]TWAN is now one of the most popular online sources for night sky photos. http://www.twanight.org[/quote]
I love this resource! It's pretty plain, but there're really lots of beautiful photos.

Wow this thread is useful

this is the only link i could think of this is above all my favorite wbesite :P

This page is book marked in my favorites' list.
You've just saved me (years?) of googling!

Thanks again!

Thanks for the list! I also have my own little site, here:

I would like for you to add another observatory to the existing list. It is the home of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Prince George Centre in Northern British Columbia, Canada. I am a member of the chapter and we have a 24" instrument along with other smaller portable telescopes. The Chapter is very active in the community and provides many educational opportunities to the general public as well as viewing sessions when the weather permits. The observatory is very well equipped including classroom space and fully powered and data wired pier mounts on an outside patio. I host the web site for the observatory and have done so for over a decade.

Please visit out web site at http://vts.bc.ca/pgrasc

You are quite welcome!


[quote="Céline Richard"][quote="vichug"]Thank you Celine! the 2d youtube video seems related to what i'm looking for maybe. And for the first one, i've listened once to a radio cast about a canadian recording similar sounds... was very interesting indeed !
i shall dig into this.[/quote]

I am happy if it could give you some sounds you like :)
This is a so creative and original project!

I have had a look to Jaksichj's link: it is impressing!
I enjoyed to listen to it, although i am not able to compose, thank you!

[quote="vichug"]Hello,

i'm a student composer and very interested in astronomy, and i am currently looking for sounds of planet... not actual recording for sure, but maybe radiations waves turned into sounds ? i was told once of such a website but cant remember where. And the sounds of landing spacecrafts too... are there things like that "open source", wich i could reuse in electroaccoustic compositions ? anyway i think sounds [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3fqE01YYWs]like that[/url] are really inspiring :)[/quote]

Hello Vichug :)

I wish you to be successful as a student composer. It looks so original and interesting :D

I just have two places i would like to suggest you, in Youtube.
Listening to Northern Lights: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHvdZdsIZxg[/url]
Intergactic wandering and sounds of the Universe: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glb2aBs8g6s[/url]

I know there was a concert about Astronomy, especially sounds in the Universe, last year, for the International Year of Astronomy (2009), in Madrid. But i don't know if musicians were showing real sounds of the Universe :|

Have a very good day!
