A SALT astronomer takes us through her observing run at the telescope.
Many people think that professional astronomers spend their days gazing up at the night sky through a telescope. But this is far from reality. In this video, I'll show you what a professional astronomer does at work in a typical day and explain why it's much more interesting than simply staring through a telescope.

The countdown for an exciting night with an observation run at the world's most advanced optical telescope, the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), has begun ...
In this ESOcast episode, were going to follow a day in the life of Dieter Nürnberger. Dieter is a staff astronomer at ESO. His job is to support those scientists that have managed to get observing time on ESOs Very Large Telescope at Paranal Observatory in Chile. Dieter spends most of his working days helping the successful few to make ground-breaking discoveries.
Dieter Nürnberger is on his way to meet the visiting scientists to team up for the night to come. The three have been observing together for several nights, today is their final evening and they are keen to get started. Over dinner they discuss plans for the night ahead.
Well before sunset they leave the Residencia and drive up the desert road to the building housing the VLT control room. At the control building they prepare the observations and check the set up of the telescope. Observing time on these great telescopes is precious and delays must be avoided at all costs.
Like a pilot checking his plane before departure, Dieter goes through a detailed check of his instrument, while the telescope operator does the same for the giant telescope. The astronomers have travelled far for a glorious view of the Universe, and here a glorious view of the sunset is included for free! As usual at Paranal, the conditions are perfect and Dieter and the visiting astronomers return with high expectations.

Heidi Hammel says astronomers should be well-rounded especially in math, but no one looks for straight A's.
Topic: How to Become an Astronomer
Heidi Hammel: I remember when I did this big, visible program in Baltimore called "The Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet Crash Into Jupiter." It was a big deal. I was on the nightly news every night for a week. And my local high school in Pennsylvania sent a TV crew down to Baltimore to interview me, and they asked me what was the most important class you took in high school to prepare you to become a world famous scientist? And my answer was Chorus. I had a great Chorus teacher, Sue Shayu [ph?], who was a former Rockette, and she demanded professionalism of her students. And there we were in the chorus, just high school kids, but she made us warm up every time. She told us how to stand, how to hold ourselves, you know, wear lipstick, girls, because the lights will wash you out. She just gave us tips, and she expected us to be professionals. No amateur night in Dixie. And I took that lesson forward with me into whatever I was doing. Whatever I was going into, whether it was going to be chorus or history or astronomy or whatever, do it right. Be a professional. Don't just do a half baked job. Do everything correctly. Get down. Learn the details of what you're going to do. That was by far the most important course for me, Chorus. It also taught me communication skills, and for scientists nowadays, communication skills, whether they are writing skills or oral speaking skills, are incredibly important. So when kids as me what classes do I need to take, I say, "Well, look. You got to take math, because you got to learn the language. And you also have to take communication classes, whether it's an English class or your music classes, band classes to teach you how to cooperate in groups." You don't focus on physics. You make sure you broaden yourself and have a good solid background in many different things. That's what you need to be a good scientist. The science teachers don't like it when I say that. They think you take chemistry, biology. I'm like, yeah, you do need to do those things, but that can come later. Your foundation has to be in basic communication and the basic language skills, and I include math as one of the language skills.
Question: What should budding astronomers study?
Heidi Hammel: Astronomy and astrophysics is a very interesting field, because you can come out at it from many different angles. When I was in college, I didn't like physics a lot, and I really wasn't very good at physics. And there were a lot of people around me who were really good at physics, I mean, scary good at physics. And they weren't much help to me, because I would say, "How do you do this?" They'd say, "Well, the answer's obvious." And I would sit there going, "Hmm, hmm, not to me." So I chose not to major in physics. A lot of astronomers and astrophysicists, has the word "physics" right in there, do major in physics. I chose, instead, to major in earth and planetary science. And so my background was in courses like geology, geophysics, atmospheric chemistry. But, again, a lot of math courses and basic physics courses, things like Newtonian physics, all the way through quantum physics. I did take those courses. I wasn't good at them, but I passed them. I learned them enough to pass. A C is a passing grade is what I learned in college, and something that I tell young people nowadays a lot. C is a passing grade. You don't need straight A's to be a scientist, despite what you may have heard.

The crazy life and crazier death of Tycho Brahe, history's strangest astronomer
http://io9.gizmodo.com/5696469/the-crazy-life-and-crazier-death-of-tycho-brahe-historys-strangest-astronomer
"Science has many colorful figures, but nobody quite like Tycho Brahe. Beyond his astronomy genius, he lost his nose in a math-fueled duel, possibly inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet, and maybe made his even greater successor Johannes Kepler a murderer."
Tycho's Supernova Remnant
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/WISE/multimedia/gallery/pia13119.html
"The red circle visible in the upper left part of the image is SN 1572, often called 'Tycho's Supernova.' This remnant of a star explosion is named after the astronomer Tycho Brahe, although he was not the only person to observe and record the supernova."
Was Tycho Brahe Poisoned? According to New Evidence, Probably Not
http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/11/17/was-tycho-brahe-poisoned-according-to-new-evidence-probably-not/
"For 300 years, the death of Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe death was the stuff of tragicomic legend. Seated at a Prague banquet table in 1601, he consumed copious amounts of alcohol and soon badly needed to visit the restroom."

Astronomers have detected a new planet orbiting the star Proxima Centauri, which is four light years away from Earth. The planet is similar to the size of Earth and the right distance away from the star it orbits to have liquid water. Lisa Kaltenegger, the director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, tells RT America’s Anya Parampil that the new planet “could be another Earth just on our doorstep.”

Astronomer
An astronomer is a scientist in the field of astronomy who studies stars, planets, moons, comets and galaxies, as well as many other celestial objects — either in Observational astronomy, in analyzing the data or in theoretical astronomy. A related but distinct subject, cosmology, is concerned with studying the Universe as a whole. An astronomer researches the world beyond Earth.
Academic
Historically, astronomy was more concerned with the classification and description of phenomena in the sky, while astrophysics attempted to explain these phenomena and the differences between them using physical laws. Today, that distinction has mostly disappeared and the terms "astronomer" and "astrophysicist" are interchangeable. Professional astronomers are highly educated individuals who typically have a PhD in physics or astronomy and are employed by research institutions or universities. They spend the majority of their time working on research, although they quite often have other duties such as teaching, building instruments, or aiding in the operation of an observatory.

Tycho Brahe
Tycho Brahe (/ˌtaɪkoʊ ˈbrɑːhi, ˈbrɑːᵊ/), born Tyge Ottesen Brahe (Danish: [ˈtˢyːə ˈʌd̥əsn̩ ˈb̥ʁɑː]; 14 December 1546 – 24 October 1601), was a Danish nobleman known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical and planetary observations. He was born in Scania, then part of Denmark, now part of modern-day Sweden. Tycho was well known in his lifetime as an astronomer, astrologer and alchemist, and has been described more recently as "the first competent mind in modern astronomy to feel ardently the passion for exact empirical facts."
In his De nova stella (On the new star) of 1573, he refuted the Aristotelian belief in an unchanging celestial realm. His precise measurements indicated that "new stars" (stellae novae, now known as supernovae), in particular that of 1572, lacked the parallax expected in sub-lunar phenomena, and were therefore not tailless comets in the atmosphere as previously believed, but were above the atmosphere and moon. Using similar measurements he showed that comets were also not atmospheric phenomena, as previously thought, and must pass through the supposedly immutable celestial spheres.

In the Life
In the Life was a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) television newsmagazine, broadcast on PBS and produced by In The Life Media. It was created in 1991 by the Emmy Award-winning producer John Scagliotti. Premiering on June 9, 1992, it was the longest running LGBT television program in history.
In September 2012, In The Life Media announced that the December 2012 broadcast would be the last. ITLM said it would work with other organizations to create a web-based archive of historical videos documenting the LGBT rights movement, enhancing the organization's online presence and hopefully broadening its reach.
Hosts
The series was regularly commentated by Harvey Fierstein from 2001 to 2004. Past hosts of the show include Kate Clinton and Katherine Linton. Guest hosts for the series have included Cherry Jones, Paris Barclay, Janeane Garofalo, Lesley Gore, Lea DeLaria, Madonna, Jade Esteban Estrada, Nathan Lane, Howard Dean, Gavin Newsom, Helen Thomas, Nancy Grace, RuPaul, Angela Lansbury, Jerry Herman, Carol Channing, Larry Kramer, Barbara Gittings, Lillian Faderman, Judy Shepard, Susan Sarandon, Billie-Jean King, Lily Tomlin, Melissa Etheridge, Esera Tuaolo, Martina Navratilova, Judith Light, Margaret Cho, Le Tigre, Lady Bunny, Wilson Cruz, Alan Cumming, Bill Brochtrup, Staceyann Chin and Lisa Leslie. In its 18th season, In the Life moved from a hosted format to a documentary style narrated by guest voice-overs.

Crash Course
Crash Course (also known as Driving Academy) is a 1988 made for television teen film directed by Oz Scott.
Plot
Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.
The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.

New planet ‘could be another Earth just on our doorstep’ – astronomerNew planet ‘could be another Earth just on our doorstep’ – astronomer
Astronomers have detected a new planet orbiting the star Proxima Centauri, which is four light years away from Earth. The planet is similar to the size of Earth and the right distance away from the star it orbits to have liquid water. Lisa Kaltenegger, the director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, tells RT America’s Anya Parampil that the new planet “could be another Earth just on our doorstep.” Find RT America in your area: http://rt.com/where-to-watch/ Or watch us online: http://rt.com/on-air/rt-america-air/ Like us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/RTAmerica Follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/RT_America

Quotes:
Sam: So what is your plan? What do you want to do?::Maggie: I just want his dignity, that's all. I want him hopeless, loveless, finished off! I just wish him ill, very very ill.::Sam: How ill are we talking here?::Maggie: I'm not saying I want him dead. But, should that occur... people die every day, why should he be any different? I'm just thinking on my feet, though. I don't have to decide the death part right now, I can just wait and see how I feel once his dignity's a thing of the past.Maggie: You know Sam, French men are very small.::Sam: Yeah?::Maggie: But not this guy. It's like Godzilla's tail! He could take down Tokyo with that thing!
Maggie: What's your name?::Sam: Mike.::Maggie: What's your name, Mike?::Sam: Sam.
Sam: I'm the Milky Way Man, and I know everything!
[watching Anton and Linda on the camera obscura, without sound, Sam and Maggie ad-lib their conversation with French accents]::Sam: Look, my darling, I wanted to show you how well my hands fit on top of my knees, and also to give you a little...::Maggie: Get away from me. Get away from me, please. You are rude.::Sam: Oh, but I love you, my little lamb. I must have you. My love is throbbing at quite a fevered cadence.::Maggie: But you cannot have me. My love is reserved for another.::Sam: You cannot mean...?::Maggie: Yes! The Milky Way Man!::[on the screen, Anton turns away from Linda]::Sam: No, no, no! Anyone but him! No, this is a man who can predict Alpha Cluster emissions. Next to him, I am nothing. I'm a worm, I'm a little...::Maggie: Yes, I love his emissions. Not every man...::[they crack up laughing]::Maggie: ...can be the Milky Way Man.::Sam: No.::[on the screen, Anton sulks]::Maggie: What will you do now?::Sam: Forlorn, I will wander the earth by myself - thinking of you and pausing occasionally to have the sex with the skullses. Heh-heh.::Maggie: That's good. Now be quiet about that, or I will make you...::[Linda stuffs a pecan into Anton's mouth, and then licks her fingers]::Maggie: Eat another one of these pecans!::Sam: I like! Oh, this is very good.::Maggie: Look how I'm licking my fingers. You like that?::Sam: I like everything, I am French.
Sam: Oh my God! Oh my God he's killing her!::Maggie: Yeah, he's killin' her all right, and she's loving every minute of it!
[hearing Anton and Linda screaming with ecstasy]::Sam: No, she's not like that! She likes to make love quiet and slow and gentle...::Maggie: Are you kidding? That girl of yours is a carnival ride!
Sam: Say what you want, Linda and I are in love.::Maggie: Yeah, except for her boning my boyfriend, you two are the perfect couple.::Sam: Listen, Catwoman. At the end of the day, she is coming back to me, and we're gonna be happy! And where are you gonna be? All alone somewhere, plotting some little revenge scheme, that's where!::Maggie: Let me tell you something, Sam. Listen to me very carefully. Are you listening?::Sam: Yes.::Maggie: The only way that girl is coming back to you is if a blast of semen catapults her across the street and through the window.
[last lines]::Sam: So I saw this episode of "Lassie" today. And Lassie was accused of a crime she didn't commit, and the Ranger was coming to put her to sleep.::Maggie: Uh-oh. How's Lassie going to get out of this one?::Sam: Well, the little boy told Lassie that she had to go away, far away.::Maggie: For her own good.::Sam: Yes, but you see, Lassie couldn't leave. Lassie just couldn't leave the boy.::Maggie: What did he do?::Sam: He told her he never liked her. He said, "I hate you, Lassie. I hate you. You're a bad dog."::Maggie: That must have made Lassie sad.::Sam: Yes, it did. Lassie trotted off, very sadly. But you know what happened? Lassie came home, Maggie.::Maggie: Did the little boy make it with Lassie?::Sam: Yes. Yes he did.
Maggie: I sleep naked. It's the only way I'm comfortable, so don't think of it as a come-on, because if you so much as breathe in my direction I will nail your willy to that beam.

Taglines: The power of evil is no longer in the hands of a child. The Last Chapter in the Omen Trilogy The ultimate confrontation between good and evil!
Quotes:
Damien Thorn: Nazarene, you have won... nothing...Damien Thorn: Nazarene, charlatan, what can you offer humanity? Since the hour you vomited forth from the gaping wound of a woman, you have done nothing but drown man's soaring desires in a deluge of sanctimonious morality. You've inflamed the pubertal mind of youth with your repellent dogma of original sin. And now you absolve in denying them the ultimate joy beyond death by destroying me ? But you will fail, Nazarene, as you have always failed. We were both created in man's image, but while you were born of an impotent god, I was concieved of a jackal. Born of Satan, the desolate one. Your pain on the cross was but a splinter compared to the agony of my father. Cast out of heaven, the fallen angel, banished, reviled. I will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcass, you profaner of vices. Cursed Nazarene. Satan, I will avenge thy torment, by destroying the Christ forever.
Damien Thorn: Suffer the little children to come unto me. Your words, Nazarene. Not mine.
Damien Thorn: If Abraham was ready to slay his own son for the love of his God, why won't you do the same for the love of mine?
Damien Thorn: You, my disciples will truly inherit this Earth!
Damien Thorn: Disciples of the Watch; I stand before you; in the name of the one who was cast out from Heaven, but is alive in me.
Damien Thorn: "And it shall come to pass that in the end days the beast shall reign 100 score and 30 days and nights. And the faithful shall cry unto the Lord, 'Wherefore art thou in the day of evil?' And the Lord shall hear their prayers. And out of the Angel Isle he shall bring forth the Deliverer; the holy Lamb of God who shall do battle with the beast. And shall destroy him." Only it won't be the beast that is destroyed, it'll be the Nazarene.
Damien Thorn: Oh my Father, Lord of Silence, Supreme God of Desolation, though mankind reviles yet aches to embrace, strengthen my purpose to save the world from a second ordeal of Jesus Christ and his grubby mundane creed. Show man instead the raptures of Thy kingdom. Infuse in him the grandeur of melancholy, the divinity of loneliness, the purity of evil, the paradise of pain.
Damien Thorn: He was born last night... I feel his presence. Like a virus, a parasite feeding on my energy; trying to drain me of power. For everyday that he lives and grows, my force will weaken.
Damien Thorn: I now command you to seek out and destroy the Nazarene child. Slay the Nazarene... and I shall reign forever. Fail... and I perish.

How to Become an Astronomer
Heidi Hammel says astronomers should be well-rounded especially in math, but no one looks for straight A's. Topic: How to Become an Astronomer Heidi Hammel: I remember when I did this big, visible program in Baltimore called "The Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet Crash Into Jupiter." It was a big deal. I was on the nightly news every night for a week. And my local high school in Pennsylvania sent a TV crew down to Baltimore to interview me, and they asked me what was the most important class you took in high school to prepare you to become a world famous scientist? And my answer was Chorus. I had a great Chorus teacher, Sue Shayu [ph?], who was a former Rockette, and she demanded professionalism of her students. And there we were in the chorus, just high school kids, but she made us warm up ...

New planet ‘could be another Earth just on our doorstep’ – astronomer
Astronomers have detected a new planet orbiting the star Proxima Centauri, which is four light years away from Earth. The planet is similar to the size of Earth and the right distance away from the star it orbits to have liquid water. Lisa Kaltenegger, the director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, tells RT America’s Anya Parampil that the new planet “could be another Earth just on our doorstep.” Find RT America in your area: http://rt.com/where-to-watch/ Or watch us online: http://rt.com/on-air/rt-america-air/ Like us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/RTAmerica Follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/RT_America

Many people think that professional astronomers spend their days gazing up at the night sky through a telescope. But this is far from reality. In this video, I'll show you what a professional astronomer does at work in a typical day and explain why it's much more interesting than simply staring through a telescope.

The countdown for an exciting night with an observation run at the world's most advanced optical telescope, the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), has begun ...
In this ESOcast episode, were going to follow a day in the life of Dieter Nürnberger. Dieter is a staff astronomer at ESO. His job is to support those scientists that have managed to get observing time on ESOs Very Large Telescope at Paranal Observatory in Chile. Dieter spends most of his working days helping the successful few to make ground-breaking discoveries.
Dieter Nürnberger is on his way to meet the visiting scientists to team up for the night to come. The three have been observing together for several nights, today is their final evening and they are keen to get started. Over dinner they discuss plans for the night ahead.
Well before sunset they leave the Residencia and drive up the desert road to the building housing the VLT control room. At the control building they prepare the observations and check the set up of the telescope. Observing time on these great telescopes is precious and delays must be avoided at all costs.
Like a pilot checking his plane before departure, Dieter goes through a detailed check of his instrument, while the telescope operator does the same for the giant telescope. The astronomers have travelled far for a glorious view of the Universe, and here a glorious view of the sunset is included for free! As usual at Paranal, the conditions are perfect and Dieter and the visiting astronomers return with high expectations.

Heidi Hammel says astronomers should be well-rounded especially in math, but no one looks for straight A's.
Topic: How to Become an Astronomer
Heidi Hammel: I remember when I did this big, visible program in Baltimore called "The Shoemaker-Levy 9 Comet Crash Into Jupiter." It was a big deal. I was on the nightly news every night for a week. And my local high school in Pennsylvania sent a TV crew down to Baltimore to interview me, and they asked me what was the most important class you took in high school to prepare you to become a world famous scientist? And my answer was Chorus. I had a great Chorus teacher, Sue Shayu [ph?], who was a former Rockette, and she demanded professionalism of her students. And there we were in the chorus, just high school kids, but she made us warm up every time. She told us how to stand, how to hold ourselves, you know, wear lipstick, girls, because the lights will wash you out. She just gave us tips, and she expected us to be professionals. No amateur night in Dixie. And I took that lesson forward with me into whatever I was doing. Whatever I was going into, whether it was going to be chorus or history or astronomy or whatever, do it right. Be a professional. Don't just do a half baked job. Do everything correctly. Get down. Learn the details of what you're going to do. That was by far the most important course for me, Chorus. It also taught me communication skills, and for scientists nowadays, communication skills, whether they are writing skills or oral speaking skills, are incredibly important. So when kids as me what classes do I need to take, I say, "Well, look. You got to take math, because you got to learn the language. And you also have to take communication classes, whether it's an English class or your music classes, band classes to teach you how to cooperate in groups." You don't focus on physics. You make sure you broaden yourself and have a good solid background in many different things. That's what you need to be a good scientist. The science teachers don't like it when I say that. They think you take chemistry, biology. I'm like, yeah, you do need to do those things, but that can come later. Your foundation has to be in basic communication and the basic language skills, and I include math as one of the language skills.
Question: What should budding astronomers study?
Heidi Hammel: Astronomy and astrophysics is a very interesting field, because you can come out at it from many different angles. When I was in college, I didn't like physics a lot, and I really wasn't very good at physics. And there were a lot of people around me who were really good at physics, I mean, scary good at physics. And they weren't much help to me, because I would say, "How do you do this?" They'd say, "Well, the answer's obvious." And I would sit there going, "Hmm, hmm, not to me." So I chose not to major in physics. A lot of astronomers and astrophysicists, has the word "physics" right in there, do major in physics. I chose, instead, to major in earth and planetary science. And so my background was in courses like geology, geophysics, atmospheric chemistry. But, again, a lot of math courses and basic physics courses, things like Newtonian physics, all the way through quantum physics. I did take those courses. I wasn't good at them, but I passed them. I learned them enough to pass. A C is a passing grade is what I learned in college, and something that I tell young people nowadays a lot. C is a passing grade. You don't need straight A's to be a scientist, despite what you may have heard.

"The red circle visible in the upper left part of the image is SN 1572, often called 'Tycho's Supernova.' This remnant of a star explosion is named after the astronomer Tycho Brahe, although he was not the only person to observe and record the supernova."

Astronomers have detected a new planet orbiting the star Proxima Centauri, which is four light years away from Earth. The planet is similar to the size of Earth and the right distance away from the star it orbits to have liquid water. Lisa Kaltenegger, the director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, tells RT America’s Anya Parampil that the new planet “could be another Earth just on our doorstep.”
