Our venue was Makanpar-Dhosa, our regular place for observing Meteor Showers. Me, Mr. Narendra Gor and Kartik Pomal travelled through Kartik’s car. Two members joined us later. This year’s meteor shower was less fertile and we saw only 12 meteors from the Leonids and two meteors from Delta Monocerotids. We spent the night on the terrace of a Shiv Temple in the village. We all woke-up at 3:30am and started to count meteors till dawn. I carried my 25x100 binos without stand. As the meteor shower wasn’t showing a good number of Shooting Stars I decided to observe few known galaxies and other deep-sky objects through the binoculars holding by hands. Here is the list of objects I observed,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*NGC 2841&lt;br /&gt;*NGC 2903•&lt;br /&gt;*M97&lt;br /&gt;*M108&lt;br /&gt;*M44&lt;br /&gt;*M67&lt;br /&gt;* M35&lt;br /&gt;*M81&lt;br /&gt;*M82&lt;br /&gt;*NGC 3077&lt;br /&gt;*M51&lt;br /&gt;*NGC 5195&lt;br /&gt;*Saturn &amp;amp; Venus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;I first pointed the binos to &lt;strong&gt;NGC 2841&lt;/strong&gt;. This is a bright and easy object even from my city. The galaxy is located 1 degree 50’ S-SW from Theta Ursa Majoris star. This is a 10th magnitude galaxy with Angular Size of 7.7 Arc Min and Axis Size of 3.6 Arc Min. It appeared as a faint, rather elongated smudge in the Binoculars.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The next galaxy was &lt;strong&gt;NGC 2903&lt;/strong&gt;, a very easy and bright galaxy in Leo. This galaxy lies within 4 degrees SW of Epsilon Leonis. This is a 9.6th magnitude galaxy with an Axis Size of 5.6’. The galaxy appeared beautiful with two 7.6th and 7th magnitude stars in a 3 degree FOV. Also a 4.3rd magnitude orange star Lambda Leonis appeared in the N-NW edge of the FOV. I missed my stand this time!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The third object was a Planetary Nebula &lt;strong&gt;M97&lt;/strong&gt; in the Big Dipper. I saw both the nebula and a galaxy, &lt;strong&gt;M108&lt;/strong&gt; in the same FOV. The nebula was very easy to identify even at first glance. This object is hard to observe from my suburban skies even through my 8-inch Newtonian Telescope. M108, the galaxy was also an easy object through my binos. M108 appeared as elongated fuzz next to two 8.5th and 9th magnitude stars. M108 is just 1.5 degrees NE of Merak or Beta Ursa Majoris.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now at this time at around 4:10am The Beehive Cluster or &lt;strong&gt;M44&lt;/strong&gt; was high in the sky appearing through naked-eye as small fuzz. Through the 25x100 Binos it was a breath taking object, Indeed beehive! It filled the entire Field of View. The brightest star in the cluster is Epsilon Cancri shining at magnitudes 6.28. It wasn’t comfortable observing this beautiful cluster through my bulky 4-inch binos weighting 5kg holding on hands! Thus I couldn’t make the view study for longer time and counted 14 stars. There is a miniature of The Constellation Corvus in this cluster if you look carefully. The star Epsilon Cancri is the brightest star in this miniature version of Corvus making a 9’X7’ sized square of stars.In Cancer, there is another beautiful Open Cluster &lt;strong&gt;M67&lt;/strong&gt;. The cluster is located within 2 degrees West of Alpha Cancri. M67 is also known as “King Cobra” and is one of the most ancient open clusters known making it to be 5 billion year old! It is a bright open cluster containing more than 500 stars, many of which were resolvable through my binos. In the FOV it shared view with 60 Cancri and 50 Cancri stars.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Now, even higher in the sky was constellation Gemini. I pointed toward even more rich Open Cluster &lt;strong&gt;M35&lt;/strong&gt;. This cluster gathering of several hundred stars was a glorious sight in my 25x100s. The star, 5 Geminorum shining at magnitude 5.8 was 30’ from the cluster. After this observation, at around 4:25am I pointed the binos toward a beautiful pair of galaxies, &lt;strong&gt;M81&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;strong&gt;M82&lt;/strong&gt; in Ursa Major. The pair is located roughly 10.5 degrees North-West of Dubhe, Alpha Ursa Majoris. M81 is a bright galaxy shining at magnitude 6.94. Its nearby, M82 is another bright galaxy with a apparent magnitude 8.41. Messier 81 and Messier 82 both can be viewed easily using binoculars. Through my binoculars in a 3 degree FOV, I observed another faint fuzzy galaxy, &lt;strong&gt;NGC 3077&lt;/strong&gt;. This galaxy is a smaller member of the M81 group. The galaxy shines at magnitudes 10.6 and was rather tough to make it out through hand-held binoculars. However, after spending little time I could make it out as a very diffuse glow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;In the North-Eastern sky at around 5:15am, the galaxy &lt;strong&gt;M51&lt;/strong&gt; was well up and I aimed the binos toward its direction. Located nearly 5.5 degrees N-NW of Alkaid (Eta Ursa Majoris), M51 is a bright galaxy and can be easily observed in Binoculars. The galaxy is approximately 23 million light-years away. In my binos I think I had a glimpse of its companion galaxy &lt;strong&gt;NGC 5195&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;At 5:30am, &lt;strong&gt;Saturn&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Venus&lt;/strong&gt; were well up in the eastern sky. I saw Saturn and it appeared as an oval disc. These days Saturn displays the disc of just 16 arc seconds. Venus was nearly 6 degrees above horizon and was within 4 degrees East of Spica. Mr. Narendra Gor somehow fixed the binos steady on the corner of the terrace and pointed toward Venus. It clearly showed the phase of Venus. All members could easily see the phase of Venus. I found from the planetary software that its disc illumination was 12%. I wanted to see the newly discovered comet C/2010 V1 Ikeya-Murakami but due to haziness in the horizon I couldn’t find it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rahul Zota Bhuj&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4714225373695182404-661198523724727320?l=kutchastronomy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/feeds/661198523724727320/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/12/18-november-leonids-observation-report.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/661198523724727320'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/661198523724727320'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/12/18-november-leonids-observation-report.html' title='18 NOVEMBER LEONIDS OBSERVATION REPORT'/><author><name>Narendra Gor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15758623716247702438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/TO9_pDhY90I/AAAAAAAAAd4/btDdj1KxgmI/S220/My%2Bphoto.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/TPjZnOygQgI/AAAAAAAAAeY/6cz4ZLBX0s4/s72-c/Picture%2B442.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714225373695182404.post-7633118792903242761</id><published>2010-11-23T20:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-23T21:27:04.183-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sky Watching Program At Sham e sarahad Hodako</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;ભરત ભાઈ છેડા ( મુંબઈ) એ  શામ એ સરહદ ની મુલાકાત લીધી ત્યારે તેમણે કાળી ચૌદસની કાજળ ઘેરી રાતને આકાશ દર્શન દ્વારા યાદગાર બનાવી હતી. તેમની દિકરી એ નવું નવું જાણવામાં સમજવામાં ખુબ રસ દાખવ્યો હતો.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/TOygJMjiBxI/AAAAAAAAAdw/OUhbshnYmik/s1600/DSCN5070.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;મે નો દિવસ અખાત્રીજનો દિવસ છે. એમ કહેવાય છે કે&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;આ દિવસ લગ્ન જીવન શરુ કરવા માટે શ્રેષ્ઠ દિવસ છે. આથી આ દિવસે હજારો નવ દંપતિ પ્રભુતામાં પગલાં માંડશે. અહી એક પતિ અને પત્નીનું મધુર મિલન થાય છે ત્યારેજ આકાશમાં પ્રેમના પ્રતિક એવા શુક્ર અને ચંદ્રનું મિલન થઇ રહ્યું હશે જે ઘટના ખરેખર અદભૂત હશે.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti; mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;માટે સાદું દૂરબીન કે ટેલિસ્કોપની મદદ લેવી પડશે. સૌ પ્રથમ દિવસના આકાશમાં&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;ત્રીજનો ચંદ્ર શોધવો પડશે. ચંદ્ર સૂર્યથી પૂર્વ બાજુ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;લગભગ ૩૦ અંશ દુર હશે. જો ચંદ્ર દેખાઈ આવે તો તેની બાજુમાં આવેલ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;શુક્રનો ગ્રહ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti; mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;૫૧ મીનીટે  થશે જયારે તેનો અસ્ત રાત્રે ૯ કલાક&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti; mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;૫૫ મીનીટે  થશે. આમ ચંદ્ર શુક્રની યુતિ ચંદ્રના અસ્ત સમય સુધી જોઈ શકાશે. પણ જેમને પીધાન જોવું છે તેઓ બપોરના ૩ કલાક ૩૫&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti; mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;મીનીટે ચંદ્રનો જે ભાગ અપ્રકાશિત છે એટલેકે ચંદ્રની ચળકતી કોરની સામેની બાજુએથી શુક્રને અદ્રશ્ય થતો જોઈ શકશે. આ ઘટના ખરેખર ખુબજ નયનરમ્ય હશે. ચંદ્ર ની પાછળ શુક્રના ગુમ થઇ ગયા બાદ આકાશમાં બન્ને પદાર્થ પોતાની ગતિથી ફર્યા કરતા હોવાથી સાડા ત્રણ વાગ્યે અદ્રશ્ય થયેલો&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;શુક્ર સાંજે પાંચ વાગીને તેર મીનીટે ચંદ્રની ચળકતી કોર પાસેથી બહાર નીકળશે. આમ શુક્રનું અદ્રશ્ય થવું અને ફરીથી દેખાવું આ બન્ને દ્રશ્યો ખગોળ રસિયા તેમજ બારીકાઈથી નિરીક્ષણ કરનારાઓ માટે ખુબજ યાદગાર બની રહેશે. સાંજના ભાગે સૂર્યનો તાપ થોડો ઓછો થયો હોઈ શુક્રનું ફરીથી દેખાવાનું દ્રશ્ય થોડી મહેનત કરવાથી&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;એવા શુક્ર અને ચંદ્રનું મિલન અક્ષય તૃતિયાના દિવસે મધુર&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="AR-SA"   style="font-family:Shruti;mso-ascii-font-family:Arial;mso-hansi-font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;આ ઘટના કોઈ પણ ભય વગર નિહાળવા અપીલ કરવામાં આવે છે.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;

We choose Mirzapar Forest Nursery as our observing site. The site is very close to my city Bhuj. It is only around 5 km away from Bhuj that’s why I had a fear in my mind about the site’s situation and the sky’s darkness especially at east. This was my first experience at this site. We got there at 7:45pm. We were six guys, me, Mr. Narendra Gor, Nishant Gor, Ashwin Vaghela, Fenil Patadiya and a new member Rajesh Doshi. Fenil Patadiya had traveled from Surat to join us in this event. The ground at the venue was uneven and it took 15 minutes to choose the right place to set our equipments. There was a bright lamp in the place and it was disturbing to see the stars high in the eastern sky. After removing the lamp we settled our equipments. We carried my 8-inch reflector, my 25x100 and 10x50 binocs, and Mr. Narendra Gor’s 8x40 binocs. Fenil Patadiya brought his 7x35 Celestron binocs. So we started around 8:15pm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  line-height: 22px; font-family:Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;As we started late we missed 5 objects in the first session. We missed M77, M74, M110, M76 and M52. Nishant located M33 through his 8x40 binocs and I located rest of objects. The first session was as usual less fertile. But then we located every object in the second session and also every object of the first half of the third session. During this session we had few visitors at the site and they liked the view of Saturn, M81-M82 and The Beehive Cluster. I intently left the Virgo-Coma galaxies unobserved because it was on transit and very high overhead. My scope has an alt-azimuth mount and I cannot see exactly overhead through this scope. I decided to wait until pre-dawn when this part of the sky gets towards west so I can get all galaxies later. During this time I set M104, M102, M83 and M68. I observed M102 for the first time in my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  line-height: 22px; font-family:Trebuchet, 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#330033;"&gt;Around 3:30am we decided to have a walk around our observing site of forest nursery. After getting back I finished M13, M92, M57 and M56 and then I decided to hunt the Virgo-Coma galaxies. I took the finder chart and located Rho Virginis star and made a star hop toward M60, M59, M58, M89, M90, M91 and M88. Then M87 was easily located. But I missed M85, M98, M99, M100, M84 and M86. This is for the first time I missed 6 galaxies in this region. Too sad :( .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I was ready to find all objects located in Ophiuchus, Scorpius and Sagittarius region. I used my 10x50 for bright objects and 8-inch scope for faint globulars. Folks presented at this time were really very happy by watching M8-The Lagoon Nebula. They also liked the view of the great globular cluster Omega Centauri through my 25x100 binocs. In the meantime I set my scope to M13 in Hercules and slightly moved it to a very faint galaxy NGC 6207 (mag ~12) which I had seen through a 16-inch Dobsonian at Nainital in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At last the final M-objects rising through the light-polluted eastern skies were difficult to locate. We gave up hope to glimpse them as dawn began. However, I last saw M15 through 10x50 and then I showed it to folks through 25x100 binocs and at the end our last score was 93 objects out of 110. This number was very low than we expected. I am sure our score would be at least 100 if the site was darker. We saw most of objects through my 8-inch and 10x50 binoculars. My 25x100 IF giant bino was useless without a viewfinder. It was just a showpiece for visitors. At the time of windup, a crescent moon attracted everyone and Mr. Narendra Gor took a beautiful video. Nishant Gor, Fenil Patadiya and Ashwin Vaghela were helping hands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4714225373695182404-8648047724995223908?l=kutchastronomy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/feeds/8648047724995223908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/03/messiar-marathon-report-2010.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/8648047724995223908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/8648047724995223908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/03/messiar-marathon-report-2010.html' title='Messiar Marathon 2010 Report'/><author><name>Narendra Gor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15758623716247702438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/TO9_pDhY90I/AAAAAAAAAd4/btDdj1KxgmI/S220/My%2Bphoto.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714225373695182404.post-4349113283010279836</id><published>2010-03-08T23:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-12T07:26:39.506-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MESSIER MARATHON 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  ;font-family:arial;font-size:small;"&gt;Dear friends&lt;div&gt;We are organizing messier marathon this year too&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Date: 15th March 2010&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;from 7.00 pm to 6.30 am next morning&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Place Mirzapur Forest Nursery near Bhuj&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Registration : Required&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last date for registration 13 March 2010&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Reporting Time 17.00 15th March 2010&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Light dinner and 2 time tea will be provided&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;you can see more detail about other program at &lt;a href="http://seds.org/MESSIER/xtra/marathon/mm2010.html"&gt;http://seds.org/MESSIER/xtra/marathon/mm2010.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Interested can mail at narendragor@gmail.com &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4714225373695182404-4349113283010279836?l=kutchastronomy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/feeds/4349113283010279836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/03/messier-marathon-2010.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/4349113283010279836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/4349113283010279836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2010/03/messier-marathon-2010.html' title='MESSIER MARATHON 2010'/><author><name>Narendra Gor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15758623716247702438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/TO9_pDhY90I/AAAAAAAAAd4/btDdj1KxgmI/S220/My%2Bphoto.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714225373695182404.post-3915797058564845963</id><published>2010-03-01T23:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-01T23:13:31.790-08:00</updated><title type='text'>ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS FOR MARCH 2010</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;

type='text'>IC 348 Nebula</title><content type='html'>Making Jupiters&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IC 348 Nebula. &lt;div&gt;Some of the stars in this young cluster could have Jupiter-sized planets orbiting them.&lt;br /&gt;IC348 is a glowing nebula of young stars, hot gas, and cold dust seen in the direction of the constellation of Perseus. It is the nearest rich cluster of young stars to earth, being only about one thousand light-years away. Its proximity has made it an important laboratory for astronomers probing the early stages of stellar evolution and star formation. At an estimated age of only two to three million years, it is also a somewhat young cluster; IC348 did not shine in the night sky of the first hominids. For comparison, our sun is about 4.5 billion years old.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most stars less than about a million years old are still surrounded by the disks of material from which they formed. These primordial disks contain gas and dust that is also the raw material for planets. As the star ages, planets and smaller bodies form out of some of that material; the rest is soon expelled, or accreted onto the star. After about 3-7 million years, the initial disks are gone. But then a new kind of disk begins to develop as orbiting rocky bodies collide with each other to produce a dusty disk of debris that can be seen with infrared instruments.&lt;br /&gt;This is the simple picture, anyway, that astronomers think is the most consistent with their observations to date. The problem is that sensitive new data from the Spitzer Space Telescope, and other telescopes, suggest that primordial disks disappear faster, and debris disks appear sooner, around mid- or high mass stars than they do around stars like the sun or smaller. How and why this could occur is an important part of the story of how planets form in stellar systems.&lt;br /&gt;The stars in IC348 have a range of masses and a median age perfect for probing the timing of disk evolution. SAO astronomers Thayne Currie and Scott Kenyon combined new Spitzer observations of IC348 with spectra taken using the 1.5m Tillinghast telescope at the Fred L. Whipple Observatory, and other archival datasets. They find clear evidence that the primordial disks around high and intermediate mass stars do disappear relatively quickly.&lt;br /&gt;Their results imply that such stars have much less time to form giant gas planets -- those like Jupiter and Saturn -- than do their solar-mass counterparts. Since there is some evidence that Jupiter-like planets commonly exist around larger stars, there must be some very rapid (a few million years) and efficient ways of making them.&lt;br /&gt;Astronomers have only recently begun to propose some ways that might happen. The new observations help lend some credibility to the emerging picture of giant gas planets around massive stars.&lt;br /&gt;Source: Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4714225373695182404-1050879019654284974?l=kutchastronomy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/feeds/1050879019654284974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/08/ic-348-nebula.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/1050879019654284974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/1050879019654284974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/08/ic-348-nebula.html' title='IC 348 Nebula'/><author><name>Narendra Gor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15758623716247702438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/TO9_pDhY90I/AAAAAAAAAd4/btDdj1KxgmI/S220/My%2Bphoto.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714225373695182404.post-1031219609136512530</id><published>2009-08-22T08:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-25T21:01:03.600-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Astro Cultural Interaction Between India and Brazil</title><content type='html'>Astro Cultural Interaction Between India and Brazil&lt;br /&gt;On August 21 at 15.30 pm (IST) students of India and Brazil interact each other and know their astronomical activities and their culture&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The members of Golden Star Astronomy Club of KAAC Bhuj India and Louis Crusls Astronomy Club, Brazil took part in this program&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Marcelo Souza from Brazil and Narendra Gor from India made the interaction possible&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4714225373695182404-1031219609136512530?l=kutchastronomy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/feeds/1031219609136512530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/08/astro-cultural-interaction-between.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/1031219609136512530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/1031219609136512530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/08/astro-cultural-interaction-between.html' title='Astro Cultural Interaction Between India and Brazil'/><author><name>Narendra Gor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15758623716247702438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/TO9_pDhY90I/AAAAAAAAAd4/btDdj1KxgmI/S220/My%2Bphoto.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714225373695182404.post-8975110521646519732</id><published>2009-08-07T19:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-07T19:55:50.951-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Enjoyed Total Solar Eclipse</title><content type='html'>Dear All Friends and Amateur Astronomers,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big event of The Total Solar Eclipse in India is finally over. Indians enjoyed this event with the passions, feel the darkness which we cant see coming 113 years. Some people dissapointed but they enjoyed the darkness..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really miss the Surat. First of all I really congratulations to four founder members Jagdish Thadani, Nikunj Rawal, Charitarth Vyas, Fenil Patadiya of Amateur Astronomers Association of Surat for organizing such a big international workshop on Solar Eclipse. And it got grand success. I m really thanks for this to all you members of AAAS, AGAA, Atmiya Vidhyamandir, and all which is connected to this event. This is really a nice arrangement. I really enjoyed this event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for the eclipse I want to say that it was an amazing moments during darkness. Perhaps it was a big event in my life I ever enjoyed.. Really Amazing....&lt;br /&gt;But just dissapointed because of clouds but it not important for me. Because Life is big and we will organize International tour for Total Solar Eclipse in future !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in short time(on 15th January) The Annular Solar Eclipse is coming and it will be seen in South India(Kanya Kumari), so I think we should organize the tour to South for the eclipse.. So all think on it and just do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In last, You all know that this is the International Year of Astronomy, so do the best activites during this year and feel the Astronomy....!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks and Regards,&lt;br /&gt;-Sumit M.

પણ સુરત ગ્રહણ નિહાળવા ગયેલા ક્લબના પ્રમુખ નરેન્દ્ર ગોરની રનીંગ કોમેન્ટ્રી સાંભળી હતી. ગ્રહણ જોવા અન્યોની સાથે જિલ્લા વિકાસ અધિકારી રાજકુમાર બેનીવાલ પણ તેમના સ્ટાફ સાથે સુરલભીટ્ટ પહોંચ્યા હતા. છતાં વાદળામાંથી ટૂકડે ટૂકડે દેખાતા ગ્રહણ તેમણે જોયું હતું. ગ્રહણ ૬.૨૫ વાગ્યે પૂર્ણાવસ્થામાં પહોંચ્યું ત્યારે આકાશનો લાલશ પડતો પ્રકાશ ઓછો થયો અને સાંજ જેવું અંધારું છવાયું હતું. સુરતથી નરેન્દ્રભાઇએ ગ્રહણની રનીંગ કોમેન્ટ્રી આપી અહીં ઉપસ્થિત રહેલાઓને રોમાંચિત કર્યા હતા. &lt;br /&gt;સુરત પહોંચેલા નરેન્દ્રભાઇ જણાવે છે કે વાદળા અને છાંટા વચ્ચે સૂર્ય દેખાવાની બિલકુલ શક્યતા ન હતી. તેવા સમયે સવારે ૬-૨૧ મિનિટે રાત્રી જેવું ઘનઘોર અંધારું ૩-૩૦ મિનિટ માટે છવાઇ ગયું. વાદળ અને વરસાદ હતો તેથી તારા ન દેખાયા. જો કે આ અંધારાની અનુભૂતિ પણ અનન્ય હતી. સુરતમાં અલગ અલગ જગ્યાએ ગ્રહણ જોવા પહોંચેલા ૫૦ હજારથી વધુ લોકો નિરાશ થયા હતા. સુરતમાં ઓલ ગુજરાત એમેચ્યોર એસ્ટ્રોનોમર્સ એસો. ઓફ સુરત દ્વારા બે દિવસનો વર્કશોપ યોજાયો હતો જેમાં દેશના ખ્યાતનામ વૈજ્ઞાનિકો ડો. નરેન્દ્ર ભંડારી, ડો. રાજમલ જૈન, જે.આર. ત્રિવેદી, હરિઓમ વત્સ તથા ડો. જે.જે. રાવલે પોતાના વક્તવ્યો આપ્યા હતા.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

                   - ગોવીન્દ મારુ અને ભુપેન્દ્ર ઝેડ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        21મી સદીનું લાંબામાં લાંબુ સુર્યગ્રહણ અંગે એમેચ્યોર એસ્ટ્રોનોમર્સ એસોસીએસન ઓફ સુરત(AAAS)અને ઓલ ગુજરાત એસ્ટ્રોનોમર્સ્ એસોસીએશન (AGAA) સંસ્થા દ્વારા કોળી-ભરથાણા મુકામે એક લાઈવ વર્કશોપનું આયોજન થનાર છે. એ જાણી વીજ્ઞાન મંચની ટીમ રોમાંચીત થઈ ગઈ. તા.21/07/૨૦09ના રોજ શ્રી ગોવીંદ મારુની આગેવાની હેઠળ ડૉ. દીપક દેસાઈ, ડૉ. ધનસુખભાઈ પટેલ અને શ્રી ભુપેન્દ્ર ઝેડ.  નવસારીથી સુરત-કામરેજ જવા રવાના થયા.ત્યારે નવસારીમાં અષાઢી મેહુલો મસ્ત-મસ્ત ઝરમર-ઝરમર વરસતો.. અમોને વીદાય આપવા વેસ્મા હાઈ-વે સુધી આવ્યો. મઝા આવી, સાથો-સાથ મનમાં ચિંતા પણ થતી કે સુરતમાં વરસાદ હશે કે નહિ ? વેસ્મા હાઈ-વેથી કામરેજ(જી. સુરત) થઈ અમારી ટીમ કોળી-ભરથાણા ગામની સીમમાં આવેલી અત્યંત સુન્દર અને જાજરમાન ‘આત્મીય વિદ્યા મંદીર’ના કેમ્પસમાં દાખલ થયા ત્યારે વરસાદ ગાયબ થઈ જતાં ફરીથી જાણે હરખનું તેડું આવ્યું હોય તેમ અમોએ રજીસ્ટ્રેશનની પ્રક્રીયા પુર્ણ કરી ગરમા ગરમ ચા-નાસ્તો કરીને શાળાના પવીત્ર અને ચોખ્ખાઈભર્યા માહોલથી અનહદ આનંદ અનુભવીને ‘આત્મીય વીદ્યા મંદીર’ના હોલમાં પ્રવેશ કર્યો. દેશ-વીદેશના વૈજ્ઞાનીકો, શીક્ષકો, જીજ્ઞાસુ મીત્રો અને વીદ્યાર્થી ડેલીગેટસ તેમજ ‘આત્મીય વીદ્યા મંદીર’ના ધોરણ 8-10ના વીદ્યાર્થીઓથી  હોલ છલોછલ ભરાઈ ગયો હોવા છતા નીરવ શાંતિ વચ્ચે અમો મોડા પહોચ્યા- ત્યાંરે  કાર્યક્રમ શરુ થઈ ગયો હતો.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        ‘સુર્યગ્રહણ’ના પ્રથમ પગથીયાનો તેજ લીસોટો જાણીતા ખગોળ વૈજ્ઞાનીક ડૉ. બ્રીજમોહન ઠાકોરે પાડ્યો. તેઓએ “Activities for Solar Eclipse” પર પ્રવચન આપવાનું શરુ કરી ઉપસ્થીત સૌને એક તાંતણે બાંધી દીધા. સુર્યની શક્તી, પ્રકાશ, અંતર, સુર્યના રહસ્યો, આભામંડળ,  સુર્યગ્રહણ, વીષે ઉંડાણથી સરળ અંગ્રેજીમાં સમજ આપી. ત્યાર બાદ કચ્છ એમેચ્યોર એસ્ટ્રોનોમર્સ ક્લબના સેક્રેટરી શ્રી નરેન્દ્ર ગોરએ“સુર્યગ્રહણ સબંધી માન્યતાઓ તેમજ અંધશ્રધ્ધાઓ” અંગે સીધી-સાદી ગુજરાતી-અંગ્રેજી ભાષામાં વાતો કરીને સૌનું મન જીતી લીધું હતું. તેઓના વક્તવ્યને સૌએ તાળીઓના ગડગડાટથી વધાવી લીધા. ત્યાર બાદ          ફીઝીકલ રીસર્ચ લેબોરેટરી(પી.આર. એલ.)ના સીનીયર સાયન્ટીસ્ટ ડૉ. હરી ઓમ વત્સએ‘Shadow Bands‘ અંગે એટલાંટીકમાં કરેલ અનુભવને એનીમેશન ચીત્રો દ્વારા તેમજ શોધ નીબંધને સ્લાઈડ શૉ દ્વારા સમજાવેલ. ત્યાર બાદ ડૉ. જે. આર. ત્રીવેદીએ 36 વર્ષ પહેલા ઉલ્કાઓ ભેગી કરી રીસર્ચ લેબોરેટરીઝને પહોંચાડવાનો વીશ્વવીક્રમ સ્થાપ્યો હતો. તેવા આ સીનીયાર સાઈંટીસ્ટે “Meteorite Collection with Students” વીષય ઉપર સવીસ્તાર વ્યાખ્યાન આપ્યું.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        ત્યાર બાદ પી.આર. એલ.ના એસ્ટ્રોનોમી એન્ડ એસ્ટ્રોફીઝીક્સ ડીવીઝનના પ્રો. ડૉ. રાજમલ જૈનએ“Sun-Earth Relation“ વીષય ઉપર કહ્યું કે,  હું છેલ્લા ત્રણ વર્ષથી સુર્યની પાછળ પડ્યો છું. મને સૂર્યમાં ખુબ જ રસ છે. સુર્યની દીન-પ્રતીદીન, કલાક-મીનીટ, રોજ-બરોજની હીલચાલની નોંધ રાખું છું. છેલ્લા ત્રણ વર્ષના તેઓના સંશોધનમાં સુર્યએ કોઈ મુવમેંટ કરી નથી. ત્રણ વર્ષથી સુર્ય શાંત બેઠો છે- એ વૈજ્ઞાનીકો માટે ચીંતાનો વીષય છે. જો સુર્ય શાંત રહે તો પણ ઉપાધી અને તોફાને ચઢે તો પણ ઉપાધી છે. હમણાનું ગ્લોબલ વોર્મીન્ગ  માનવ સર્જીત છે. પણ ભવીષ્યમાં સુર્ય પણ ગ્લોબલ વોર્મીન્ગ માટે જવાબદાર રહેશે! સુર્યના પરીઘ ઉપર ગોળાકારમાં આપણે એક પછી એક પૃથ્વીઓ ગોઠવીએ તો 1,33,000 પૃથ્વીઓ ગોઠવી શકાય ! અને સુર્યમાં ઉપરથી એક મોટું બાકોરુ(કાણું) પાડીને સુર્યના પેટાળમાં એક પછી એક પૃથ્વી પધરાવીએ તો બે લાખથી પણ વધુ પૃથ્વીઓ સુર્યના પેટાળમાં જાય તો પણ એનો પેટાળો ભરાઈ નહીં !! એક કુતુહલ પ્રેરક વાત પણ કરી કે, ત્રાજવાના એક પલ્લામાં સુર્યને મુકીને વજન કરવું હોય તો આશરે દોઢ લાખથી વધુ પૃથ્વીની જરૂર પડે !!! અર્થાત્ સુર્ય આપણી પૃથ્વી કરતાં અનેક રીતે મોટો- ચઢીયતો છે !!!! આવી વાતો કરી સૌને મંત્રમુગ્ધ કરનાર ડૉ. જૈન સાહેબનું વક્તવ્ય કાબીલે દાદ હતું !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        ત્યાર બાદ ચન્દ્રયાન પ્રોજેક્ટને કો-ઓર્ડીનેટ કરી રહેલ જાણીતા વૈજ્ઞાનીક ડૉ. નરેન્દ્ર ભંડારી એ“Mission to Moon“ વીષય ઉપર ચન્દ્ર ઉપર માનવરહીત ‘ઈસરો’ દ્વારા મોકલવામાં આવેલ ‘ચન્દ્રયાન-1′ તેમજ હવે પછી મોકલવામાં આવનાર  ‘ચન્દ્રયાન -2′ના ચીત્રો સહીતની માહીતીથી સર્વે ડેલીગેટસને અચંબામાં મુકી દીઈને વીસ્તારથી સચીત્ર સમજ આપી હતી. અહેવાલના અંતે ‘ચન્દ્રયાન -2′ નું ચીત્ર સાદર છે.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        એક નાનકડા કાર્યક્રમમાં ડૉ. જે. જે. રાવલ, પ્રમુખશ્રી, ઈન્ડીયન પ્લેનેટરી સોસાયટીની અદ્યક્ષતામાં તેમજ તમામ વૈજ્ઞાનીક/વક્તાશ્રીઓ, ‘આત્મીય વીદ્યા મંદીર’ના આચાર્યશ્રી ડૉ. યોગેશ રાવલના વરદહસ્તે દીપ પ્રાગટ્યથી AAAS સંસ્થાની સ્થાપના કરવામાં આવી, જેને તમામ ડેલીગેટસ તેમજ વીદ્યાર્થીઓએ તાળીઓના ગડગડાટથી વધવવામાં આવેલ. પરંતુ અન્ય રોકાણોને કારણે ડો. જે. જે. રાવલ સાહેબના વક્તવ્યનો લાભ મળ્યો નહી તેનું સર્વેને દુ:ખ રહ્યુ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        21મી જુલાઈએ થયેલ વરસાદે અમોને ભીંજવી દીધા હતા. 22મી જુલાઈએ થનાર ‘ખગ્રાસ સૂર્યગ્રહણ’ દેખાવાની કોઈ સંભાવના ન રહેતા અમારો ઉત્સાહ ઓસરવા લાગ્યો. અમારી વીજ્ઞાનમંચની ટીમ નીરાશ થઈને 22મી જુલાઈનો “live workshop” નો લાભ લઈ શકાય તેમ ન હોય, સાંજે 19-30 કલાકે ‘આત્મીય વીદ્યા મંદીર’ના કેમ્પસથી નવસારી પરત આવવા રવાના થયા ત્યારથી લઈને નવસારી પરત ફર્યા ત્યાં સુધી વરસાદે અમોને સાથ આપ્યો. અમો મીત્રો 8-30 કલાકે છુટા પડ્યા ત્યારે પણ દરેકના મનમાં ગ્રહણ નીહાળવાની ચીંતાઓના પહાડ ખડા થઈ ગયા. AAAS સંસ્થા આયોજીત આ કાર્યક્રમના યજમાન ‘આત્મીય વીદ્યામંદીર’નો ફાળો નાનો-સૂનો ન હતો. વીદ્યા મંદિરના આચાર્ય ડૉ. યોગેશ રાવલ સાહેબ તેમજ ટ્ર્સ્ટીમંડળના સભ્યો અને હરીભક્તોએ વર્કશોપમાં ભાગ લેનાર સર્વે વૈજ્ઞાનીકો, શીક્ષકો, વીદ્યાર્થીઓની ખડે પગે દેખભાળ રાખી એ બદલ એ તમામને ઢગલો ભરીને  અભીનંદન આપીએ તો પણ ઓછા છે..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        22મી જુલાઈના રોજ અમારી ટીમ સુયગ્રહણ જોવા સમયસર એકઠી થઈ પરંતુ પરીણામ શુન્ય રહ્યું. ખગ્રાસ તો ઠીક પણ આંશીક સુયગ્રહણ પણ જોઈ શકાયું નહીં, એ વાતનો અફસોસ રહી ગયો. એ સમયે સમગ્ર પંથકમાં અંધારપટ છવાતાં પશુ-પક્ષીઓની દોડધામ, ચીચીયારી અને નગરજનોનો ઉત્સાહ વચ્ચે અમો ફરીથી ખુશ થયા. તેમજ ટી.વી. ચેનલો દ્વારા તારેગના(આર્યભટ્ટની કર્મભુમી), ગયા, અલ્હાબાદ, સોનભદ્ર, કોહીમા વીગેરેના આંશીક ગ્રહણ તેમજ વારાણસી અને ચીનના ખગ્રાસ ગ્રહણની વીવીધ તસ્વીરો નીહાળીને અનહદ આનંદ માણ્યો. હવે પછી આટલું લાંબુ સૂર્યગ્રહણ એક સદી પછી- એટલે કે 13 જુન, 2132 સુધી થનાર નથી. ત્યારે આપણામાની એક પણ વ્યક્તી જીવીત નહીં હશે !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        જાણીતા સાયન્સ એક્ટીવીસ્ટ શ્રી ધનંનજય રાવલની આગેવાની હેઠળ  યોજાયેલ આકાર્યશીબીર દ્વારા અમોને ખુબ જ જાણવા મળ્યું તેનો આનંદ છે.

Hassaan Ghazali told us about exited people in Pakistan who observed the sky for the first time. They looked at the stars like us and they yelled repeatedly: "We want peace!"” told StarPeace Iran team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To bring peace and science among people, StarPeace cooperators held a public stargazing party from four countries on May 1, 2009: Oman-Iran-Pakistan-India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pasabandar, Iran&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Iran, StarPeace core team in cooperation with Astronomers of Southeast of Iran Society and Astronomy Society of Mehbaang mounted their telescopes among local inhabitants in Pasabandar, a coastal village in the most southeast part of Iran. StarPeace team mounted their telescopes in three locations in the village. Two telescopes were mounted near harbor. A lot of men and boys came there and among them were a lot of seamen; they knew most of constellations and stars in the sky the same way that we know but with different names.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another telescope with a portable photo exhibition of 20 photos of "From Earth to the Universe" cornerstone project was located in the yard of village mosque; worshippers after saying their prayers came and enjoy the Moon and Saturn through the eyepiece and then went on a trip to the Universe, from Earth to the most distant galaxies through FETTU exhibition while one of the members of StarPeace explain them the photos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women and girls in Pasabandar village did not come out of their homes frequently, so StarPeace group brought two telescopes to their homes. In two houses, StarPeace team brought two telescopes and invited women and girls in neighboring houses to came and saw the sky, Moon and Saturn through eyepiece. The reactions were so interesting, some of them scared at first and did not come to see through the eyepiece, but when they saw the Moon finally they were surprised and laughed. There were also some girls who knew a little about astronomy and space and they were so eager to know more. StarPeace team gave the children some postcards and photos of astronauts and space stations which brought them joy and happiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, StarPeace cooperators from Pakistan, Lahore called Iran. They were organized a stargazing party in Lahore SOS children village. Children were so excited and happy and they yelled “We want peace!” Hassan Ghazali and Umair Asim organized the program in Lahore. In south of Pakistan, Khalid Marwat held another program in Karachi harbor. StarPeace in Iran called him and read the StarPeace message for them. StarPeace Iran contacted Manoj Pai in Ahmedabad, India too and shared greetings and peace message with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karachi, Pakistan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Khalid Marwat held stargazing party for inhabitants of Karachi harbor. Around 250 visitors came from near locations to the observing venue on 1st May, Friday. Security situation in Karachi made the number much lesser.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three telescopes and some binaculars were mounted. The most viewed item was Saturn, followed by the Moon. M13, the globular and M57, the Ring Nebula were liked by the late observers. Multiple star (Mizar and Alcor) were appreciated by many. It indeed opened their understanding of additional concepts about stars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Many liked the connection of astrology with astronomy. People with Leo as their astrology star liked to see Leo and appreciated the presence of Saturn in their constellation. " Khalid said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also there was a telescope working session in which Telescopes were handled and managed by volunteers who learnt to handle them the very night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the middle of the observation two lectures have been held: "Lunar Phases" by Mrim Gul, a 11 years old girl, that appreciated a lot by audience, and "Tonight's Sky" presentation in which Mohsin talked about the objects which was visible on that night and their astronomical details. The lectures proceeded by Q&amp;amp;A session which was excellent and very participative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the program Khalid Marwat talked with Hassaan Ghazali from Lahore and Kazem Kookaram from Iran and received StarPeace message, " which was very imaginative, thought provoking and overwhelmingly wonderful", Khalid told.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The observation lasted till 0200 am (Saturday) in local time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The observation on first night of Friday was liked so much by the public that it was continued for the next Saturday evening too. It was the same show but the visitors this time were from farther localities that came to know about the star party. 350 visitors came this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lahore, Pakistan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Banners were set up in Lahore: “One Sun, One Earth, No Borders!” Hassaan Ghazali and Umair Asim in cooperation with two other astronomers mounted three telescopes in the Lahore Planetarium. Planetarium visitors and the public were treated to fantastic views of the planet Saturn and the Moon. People were also mesmerized by views of craters on the Earth's Moon and the seas of solidified lava which are not discernible to the unaided eye. Also with a green laser pointer StarPeace Lahore pointed at the constellations in the sky and explained them to the public. Umair said: “People were very interested to see ‘their’ stars.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also children from Lahore SOS village joined them at the program. They were thrilled to see planets and various craters of the moon. Around 300 people participated in the program that night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the event, Hassaan Ghazali from the Society of the Sun led the exchange of greetings with counterpart astronomers over the phone. “A message of peace from a group of enthusiastic children from SOS children's villages was relayed to them. The message was three simple words uttered by every Pakistani, every day--"We Want Peace!"” Hassaan told.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahmedabad, India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In India Manoj Pai and two other astronomers in Ahmedabad put up one telescope with a pair of binoculars for a group of 30 interested visitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Manoj Pai told: “Not all of the visitors were actually aware that groups in other countries were also observing the same object. They got excited when we told them about it. The interesting thing that some of them had asked was whether the moon looked the same way as it did to all of you. To others it was like people from different countries playing the same game in an international competition like Olympics.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;StarPeace team from Iran called Manoj Pai too; but it was a little late and the program was over. Even though, they shared the peace message: “The moon was looking down at us over here. It was looking down the same way at you too.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bhuj, India&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narendra Sagar Gor in Bhuj, a city near Pakistan and India border held a star party for their group members; they observed the Moon and Saturn and discussed about peace promotion and astronomy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muscat, Oman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Oman, StarPeace covered north and south of the Oman Sea with four countries. Dr. Saleh Said Al-Shidhani held a star party in Muscat for the public. Around 80 visitors enjoyed observing the Moon and Saturn by two telescope which was mounted in a garden. Also lectures about astronomy were held for the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;StarPeace wishes for a borderless world, what is the real face of our Earth; just like the Sky above us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4714225373695182404-3805495031057891282?l=kutchastronomy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/feeds/3805495031057891282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/05/starpeace-event-between-4-countries-we.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/3805495031057891282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4714225373695182404/posts/default/3805495031057891282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kutchastronomy.blogspot.com/2009/05/starpeace-event-between-4-countries-we.html' title='StarPeace event between 4 countries: We Want Peace!'/><author><name>Narendra Gor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15758623716247702438</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/TO9_pDhY90I/AAAAAAAAAd4/btDdj1KxgmI/S220/My%2Bphoto.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4714225373695182404.post-6704006781030212947</id><published>2009-04-19T20:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T20:20:31.140-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Star Party @ Anjar on 18 April 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2jRdOG941yk/Se6M9W2XQqI/AAAAAAAAAQg/Wsabexk8CPY/s1600-h/P4180524.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;
