Ever hear the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words?"

With Deepsky Astronomy Software, there's a picture for thousands of deep sky
objects in the database. Over 410,000+ images are on the DVD version and
10,000 are on the CD version! So when you are looking through the Deepsky
database or viewing observing lists, you'll almost always see an image for
any object there. It's an incredibly simple, yet powerful feature for
software in this price range.

This odd story from the Dallas Morning News caught our eye:

County commissioners were discussing problems with the
central collections office that is used to process traffic
ticket payments and handle other paperwork normally done
by the JP Courts.

Commissioner Kenneth Mayfield, who is white, said it seemed
that central collections "has become a black hole" because
paperwork reportedly has become lost in the office.

Commissioner John Wiley Price, who is black, interrupted
him with a loud "Excuse me!" He then corrected his colleague,
saying the office has become a "white hole."

We had never heard of a "white hole," so we wondered if Price knew
something we didn't. And it turns out, according to this Web page at
Cornell [1], there is such a thing as a white hole, but only in theory:

Hi. A group of us are building a sattelite tracking gizmo for a radio
amateur project and someone in the group. (Me) suggested it would arouse
interest if it we could use it to track hubble. We've got the downlink
frequency of hubble but we don't know what the doppler shift is or what
format theinformation downloaded from hubble would come in. Can anyone fill
in these gaps?

Thanks?

IAYC 2008, July 20th - August 9th
44th International Astronomical Youth Camp
Sayda, Germany

The International Astronomical Youth Camp (IAYC) 2008 will take place
in the small town of Sayda, Germany (2.300 inhabitants). Sayda lies in
the federal state of Saxony with the nearest large towns in the
surrounding being Chemnitz (40 km) and Dresden (45 km) in Saxony and
Prague (100 km) in the Czech Republic.

The IAYC is an international youth camp with participants from about
20 different countries. As a participant you work for three weeks in
one of the 8 working groups - together with other young people - on
astronomical projects. The projects vary from night-time observations
to theoretical problems, depending on your own interests. The working
groups will be led by young scientists from the IAYC team. In IAYC
2008 we offer working groups which study a wide variety of topics:
Ancient Astronomy, Astrogenises, Basics of Astronomy, Compact Objects,
Extragalactic astrophysics, Observational Astronomy, Radio Astronomy
and Imaging processing.

I hope these puzzlers are thought-provoking. "Problems" deserve many thanks
in science, since they stimulate it to grow.

The way the universe expansion and deceleration (at least, before negative
energy/cosmological constant) was very elegant when thinking of little
particles on the surface of an expanding balloon, etc....
