Its always fun to go on trips away from the station, especially when there auroras and clear skies like this! #Aurora #astronomy #Nightsky https://twitter.com/SPTelescope/status/1000956640915574784/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/50836 In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments

Stephen Sekula (steve@chirp.cooleysekula.net)'s status on Tuesday, 14-Jul-2015 01:12:54 UTC Stephen Sekula RT from Astronomy Picture of the Day https://pump.jpope.org/apod: Random image from the archives APOD: 2000 September 3 - Henrietta Leavitt Calibrates the Stars http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap000903.html APOD Image http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/image/0009/leavitt_aavso.jpg Humanity's understanding of the relative brightness and variability of stars was revolutionized by the work of Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921). Working at Harvard College Observatory, Leavitt precisely calibrated the photographic magnitudes of 47 stars to which all other stars could be compared. Leavitt discovered and cataloged over 1500 variable stars in the nearby Magellanic Clouds. From this catalog, Leavitt discovered that brighter Cepheid variable stars take longer to vary, a fact used today to calibrate the distance scale of our universe. http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap000903.html #astronomy #picture #space #NASA #APOD In conversation from NavierStokesApp permalink Attachments
