Specifically, he was born and raised in Ishpeming, Michigan -- a small town outside of Marquette. My family took several summer vacation trips to the U.P. when I was a child. I have returned there three times as an adult once for my father internment in 1996, once for my mother internment in 1998, and then again in 2000. It is really a very beautiful part of the country. Like much of the upper mid-west, it has lots of beautiful lakes, forests and wildlife. My paternal great-grandfather emigrated

General article about SETI.
Educated people about environmental degradation, poor working conditions and the effects of consumer culture. The WTO protests in Seattle last year demonstrated this growing frustration and a deep level of cynicism towards big business and government, as well as a willingness on the part of apparently disparate groups to express their frustration through both electronic and physical protest. Electronic protesting these days is a simple matter of downloading easy-to-use software from the Web, or

Is an acronym for Search for Extraterrestrial Radio Emissions from Nearby Developed Intelligent Populations , and like SETI@home, SERENDIP searches the radio band for potential signatures of ETI. Although SERENDIP does not analyze data to the same level of detail as the computing power of SETI@home allows, it scans a broader range of frequencies. The data used in SERENDIP is currently taken using the Arecibo L-band Feed Array (ALFA) on the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico..During the first

Example. A typical, uncompressed high-resolution image requires 8 to 32 million bits of data (for a 1000-by-1000 to 2000-by-2000 pixel image, 8 bits per pixel). Since the signal will have a finite information-carrying capacity (see the Solving the Entropy Paradox section later in this article), this is an unacceptable waste of space. Just as we have a strong incentive to compress images prior to transmitting them across networks, so too will the sender of an interstellar message. Instead of

The BAT flux map is scaled from the Crab rate in the survey and normalized to an assumed Crab spectrum of 10.4 E.sec keV.

Dave Jewitt and Jane Luu using the University of Hawaii 2.2-meter telescope. During the early 1990s, much of the groundbreaking research on the Kuiper Belt was done using the 2.2-meter telescope..Most modern telescopes use mirrors to collect light rather than lenses. The reason for this is that a lens can only be supported around its edges, whereas a mirror can be supported over its entire rear surface. The largest telescope that uses a lens (refracting telescope) has a 1-meter diameter lens.

Clusters. Using Case wide-field Burrell Schmidt telescope, Mihos is surveying the nearby Virgo cluster of galaxies to find the ghostly intracluster light that traces the history of galaxy collisions inside the cluster. Computer simulations of galaxy clusters are being used to probe how these intracluster stars are torn out of cluster galaxies, while other simulations have focused on mergers of galaxies, the triggering of starburst galaxies and quasars, and the transformation of spiral galaxies
