The Campus Of Bowling Green State University

On October 29th, I attended a speech in the planetarium. The speaker’s name was Crit Callebs, a Native American storyteller. Callebs grew up on the Yakama Nation Indian Reservation and still lives there today. He has been telling stories all his life due to growing up around the elders of his tribe, and listening to all of their stories. His speech was centered on traditional stories of the Eastern Band Cherokee’s. As I mentioned above, the speech was held in the planetarium, which features elevated seats, dark lighting, and a globe ceiling. All of these features contributed to the illusion of floating. However, Callebs took it to another level by projecting the night’s sky on the screen. He turned off the lights completely, so we could not see the people directly next to us, or even him. All we saw were the stars and all we heard was him talking to us. As much as this made the atmosphere more relaxing, it also made the speech have an enervated quality to it. In this paper, I will analyze and discuss the speech’s quality points, as well as the disappointing aspects.

Galileo’s findings from his telescopic observations were revolutionary because he showed that the heavens were not perfect.

Actually observing the sky through the campus Steward Observatory telescope brought perspective to just how lucky we are in Tucson to have such amazing resources to study the sky. The location of the telescope is amazing; right in the middle of our historic campus which allows the general public accessibility to something that might otherwise be reserved for astronomers or scientists. Having a 21” telescope to view the night sky expands the field of view that wouldn’t be as wide-ranging with an ordinary telescope. Having looked through telescopes that were probably 4.5” previously, I wasn’t really sure what to expect looking through a scientific version. Clear weather in late November and having a night sky ordinance in Tucson also allows optimum viewing opportunities year round. “Thanks to a local ordinance that strictly limits artificial-light pollution, Tucson supposedly has the darkest night skies of any city its size in the country.” "Seeing Stars in Tucson 's Brilliant Night Sky." The Washington Post. WP Company, n.d. Web. 05 Dec. 2016. “For a city of 500,000, Tucson is an astonishingly good place for stargazing.” I was already aware that the magnification quality of the telescope influences exactly what is visible through the eyepiece. Knowing a telescope’s optical system captures an image like a camera lens. I realized my eyes had to adjust to the dark. At first I had a difficult time seeing things until I

Meridian has been manufacturing fine telescopes for 80 years and has developed a well-earned reputation for quality craftsmanship. The company itself produces and sells two distinct lines of telescopes, which are produced in its 200,000 square feet facility. Furthermore, both lines have been developed to appeal to distinct target audiences who have an interest in the company’s products. The older line, for which there has been steady demand, consists of small professional telescopes that ultimately have laid the foundation for Meridian’s strong reputation. Following the success of

Bruce Palmquist and I held for them. I was amazed by how captivated the young students were when the planetarium light was dimmed to make the dome pitch black. Their voices in awe are vividly engraved in my memories when the bright stars appeared all around them. As the stars appeared bright on the dome’s wall, I showed them how to find Polaris, and shared with them several Greco-Roman and Navaho stories about constellations. It was a rewarding experience. The students were happy to learn about constellations and stories about the stars, and when the show was over, the students were happy to have been inside the planetarium.

In 3015, an archeologist named Bob was digging around in a place that used to be called The Kingdom of Bowling Green. Bob was about 20 ft. under ground when he came across something really tough. He thought it was something important so he used a hammer and smashed through it. He came upon what he thought was a worshiping temple. He thought it was one because there was a prayer room (2). Also, it had a sacrifice chair (3), a wooden box to lay sacrificed bodies on top of(4), a smaller wooden box with religious books of many different sizes and scented oils to attract the gods(5), a throne for the priests and religious leaders (6) and a holder for the priest's robes(7).

My target audience for this paper is for Juniata College students and staff as well as anyone that would be interested in the happenings at Juniata. These people are the audience, because they would be may be interested in attending or knowing more about the event that is happening in their area.

The samuel oschin planetarium has undergone a total transformation. The innovative grocery store showed the beam from the newest size fiber optic nerve a mark star projector and the first of its kind a digitally animated all dome laser projected invention centered in the universe. it is cinematic experience not to be missed.

Every clear, cloudless night, away from the bright town lights, the night sky treats us to a dazzling spectacle. Countless twinkling stars shine down from the heavens, sprinkled all around like fairy dust. It’s illustrated right above us much like Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. But just like the painting, the display is complex and difficult to understand. There are many different parts of the sky with many different topics to go over. One of those topics is the intricacy of constellations. In order to understand what exactly they are, one must start from the beginning, so the most appropriate place to start off is the birth of a star.

A cultural event that I have attended in the past that has had a memorable affect on my life was a Native American Powwow. This event takes place every year, Thanksgiving weekend in Tucson, AZ. I arrived in the late afternoon, as the sun was going down. I remember seeing many different types of people, from tourists to the different Native American performers. The physical setting of this particular celebration was outside, and based around, one main circle. Drums were beating so loud, you could feel the pound inside your chest. Different activities were going on all around, such as dancers, vendors, and a huge variety of foods to choose from. The circular dancing arena is known as the arbor, this area is blessed before any of the events

In summer of 1609, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) pointed his revolutionary astronomical telescope to the heavens under the starry Venetian sky; his greatly important observations unveiled the mysteries of universe and would end up changing the course of scientific thought forever. Galileo lived in an age where there was much status quo, when scientists and philosophers would accept scientific and religious doctrine that had stood for hundreds, if not thousands, of years instead of challenging the accepted knowledge in favor of intellectual progress. Galileo’s scientific methods lead to significant discoveries explaining key scientific laws, such as the

Galileo Galilei became devoted once hearing about Copernicus’s theory that the earth revolves around the sun and finding proof that it was true. Around the 17th century Galileo made a refracting telescope, which he now is very famous for. The refracting telescope works by bending light through glass lenses so that it forms an image. This telescope focuses on light, making distant objects appear brighter, clearer and more magnified. In the refracting telescope there are two lenses. The larger lens is called the objective lens, and the smaller one, where your eye is closest to and looks through, is called the eyepiece. In One of Galileo’s first discoveries using this telescope he saw four new moons orbiting around

Professor Stephen Zepf is the associate chairman of Astronomy stationed at Michigan State University. The Astronomy Professor spoke on the sixteenth of November in the Abrams Planetarium. The topic he discussed is the SOAR Telescope and our collegiate association with the Chilean Observatory.

In 1609, Galileo Galilei, using “spyglass” which allowed one to see things closer than they appeared, made an early version of the telescope. With it, he observed the skies in a way no one had before. He discovered the moon isn’t perfectly globular, it has craters, the Sun has sunspots, Venus orbits the Sun (contrary to widespread belief in his time), and then he observed four “stars” around Jupiter (“Our Solar System”). Within

I spent as much time as I could observing the stars and constellations for this project, despite the fact that we had several days of bad whether which left us with cloudy, cold skies. There wasn’t any degree of difficulty to this project and I found it rather enjoyable and very informative. I am giving serious consideration towards purchasing a telescope as a result of this project
