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.

Shocking Astronomer's Video Of UFO With Alien | Space Videos 2017
"Alien Planet" Channel comes up with Latest UFO/Alien Sightings Videos.UFO sightings in outer space are sightings of unidentified flying objects reported by astronauts while in space that they could not explain at the time. These sightings were claimed as evidence for alien visits by ufologists, although prosaic explanations have since been found for almost all of them. Some of the alleged sightings never occurred: science fiction writer Otto Binder perpetuated a hoax claiming Apollo 11 @Alien09M# Commander Neil Armstrong had encountered UFOs during the mission. @alienplanet#
Do aliens exist? Hundreds of pictures and videos of UFOs are taken every year and enthusiasts believe many of them could be proof or even a hidden conspiracy. While some have been debunked as fake, there are still dozens that have left even the experts scratching their heads and wondering if we really have been visited by creatures from another @Alien09M# planet. @alienplanet#
UFO, the mysterious moving object that appears in the sky occasionally is claimed to have no orthodox scientific explanation regarding its existence. As per the prevailing belief they are flying saucer and the same can be a monster spaceships carrying real extraterrestrials through clouds. Nowadays, UFO sighting has been a matter of amusement rather than a concern, even though there are ample evidences about their scary appearance. However, in postmodern culture, where Alien Videos are common, the movement of UFO needs to be taken as a serious matter. The appearance of flying saucer and their real images caught on tape is a proof of Alien life and the same has ignited the curiosity of NASA. They are in a set @Alien09M# out to find out the hidden secrets of the extraterrestrials in the Universe.@alienplanet#
Some of the main discussions happening related to this topic are alien, ufo, alien sightings, ufo sightings, ufo caught on camera, ufo objects, proof of aliens, Extra terrestrial Life, ufo caught on camera, ufo caught on tape and others are un explained, ufo mystery, nasa alien program, ufo 2017, alien 2017, shocking ufo video. In some instant, Unidentified Flying Objects are reported to have often observed by air force personnel in military during their preparation for encounters. They used to mistake these flying objects as the consequence of the conspiracy of their rival groups. Some of the latest UFO incidents @Alien09M# are caught on video camera and their video footage has generated a big question mark in front of science. @alienplanet#
In our Alien Planet Youtube channel, we have done our best to present the UFO related footage in a splendid manner. In that, you can view @Alien09M# the real scary stories of UFO objects and enjoy yourself by leaving back a thought in your mind. @alienplanet#

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 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.

Atacama Starry Nights: Episode I
Astronomer's Paradise is the first episode of a Atacama Starry Nights timelapse movie series.
So cool: As mentioned by Dr. Brian May here (scroll down a bit): http://brianmay.com/whatsnew.html (Sat. Dec. 1st, 2012)

Cerro Paranal is an astronomers paradise with its stunningly dark, steady and transparent sky. Located in the barren Atacama Desert of Chile it is home to some of the world's leading telescopes.
Operated by the European Southern Observatory (www.eso.org) the Very Large Telescope (VLT) is located on the Paranal mountain, composed of four 8 m telescopes which can combine their light to make a giant telescope by interferometry.
Four smaller auxiliary telescopes, each 1.8 m in aperture, are important elements of the VLT interferometer.
Walking on the desert near Paranal between the scattered stones and boulders on the pale red dust, feels like being on Mars but under the Earth sky.
Paranal was selected for cutting edge astronomical observations also because of the sky transparency and steady atmospheric condition which let astronomers peer into tiny details in the deep cosmos using giant telescopes.
This film is made with footage from the November 2011 TWAN imaging expedition to Paranal assigned by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). We photographed 14 nights in a row from usually 05:30 pm to 08:00 a.m.

Transitions done with Apple Aperture (see http://vimeo.com/35998334). Edited and rendered with Final Cut Pro 10, Motion and Compressor. Some re-edits recently done with LR4 and LRT for testing, fun!. About 35000 TimeLapse images processed, 7500 used for this part of "Astronomers Paradise".
I hope we could at least capture the magic of this very special place a bit - this is how the night sky looks like, if people care about light pollution. And we need more people to do that.
With best regards,

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.

Milky Way
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System. Its name "milky" is derived from its appearance as a dim glowing band arching across the night sky whose individual stars cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. The term "Milky Way" is a translation of the Latin via lactea, from the Greek γαλαξίας κύκλος (galaxías kýklos, "milky circle"). From Earth, the Milky Way appears as a band because its disk-shaped structure is viewed from within. Galileo Galilei first resolved the band of light into individual stars with his telescope in 1610. Until the early 1920s, most astronomers thought that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe. Following the 1920 Great Debate between the astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis, observations by Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies—now estimated to number as many as 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that has a diameter usually considered to be about 100,000–120,000 light-years but may be 150,000–180,000 light-years. The Milky Way is estimated to contain 100–400 billion stars, although this number may be as high as one trillion. There are probably at least 100 billion planets in the Milky Way. The Solar System is located within the disk, about 27,000 light-years from the Galactic Center, on the inner edge of one of the spiral-shaped concentrations of gas and dust called the Orion Arm. The stars in the inner ≈10,000 light-years form a bulge and one or more bars that radiate from the bulge. The very center is marked by an intense radio source, named Sagittarius A*, which is likely to be a supermassive black hole.

European Southern Observatory
The European Southern Observatory (ESO, formally: European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere; French: Observatoire européen austral) is a 16-nation intergovernmental research organisation for astronomy. Created in 1962, ESO has provided astronomers with state-of-the-art research facilities and access to the southern sky. The organisation employs about 730 staff members and receives annual member state contributions of approximately €131 million. Its observatories are located in northern Chile.
ESO has built and operated some of the largest and most technologically advanced telescopes. These include the New Technology Telescope, an early pioneer in the use of active optics, and the Very Large Telescope (VLT), which consists of four individual telescopes, each with a primary mirror 8.2 metre across, and four smaller auxiliary telescopes. The Atacama Large Millimeter Array observes the universe in the millimetre and submillimetre wavelength ranges, and is the world's largest ground-based astronomy project to date. It was completed in March 2013 in an international collaboration by Europe (represented by ESO), North America, East Asia and Chile.

Very Large Telescope
The Very Large Telescope (VLT) is a telescope operated by the European Southern Observatory on Cerro Paranal in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The VLT consists of four individual telescopes, each with a primary mirror 8.2 m across, which are generally used separately but can be used together to achieve very high angular resolution. The four separate optical telescopes are known as Antu, Kueyen, Melipal and Yepun, which are all words for astronomical objects in the Mapuche language. The telescopes form an array which is complemented by four movable Auxiliary Telescopes (ATs) of 1.8 m aperture.
The VLT operates at visible and infrared wavelengths. Each individual telescope can detect objects roughly four billion times fainter than can be detected with the naked eye, and when all the telescopes are combined, the facility can achieve an angular resolution of about 0.001 arc-second (This is equivalent to roughly 2 meters resolution at the distance of the Moon). In single telescope mode of operation angular resolution is about 0.05 arc-second.

Shocking Astronomer's Video Of UFO With Alien | Space Videos 2017 "Alien Planet" Channel comes up with Latest UFO/Alien Sightings Videos.UFO sightings in outer space are sightings of unidentified flying objects reported by astronauts while in space that they could not explain at the time. These sightings were claimed as evidence for alien visits by ufologists, although prosaic explanations have since been found for almost all of them. Some of the alleged sightings never occurred: science fiction writer Otto Binder perpetuated a hoax claiming Apollo 11 @Alien09M# Commander Neil Armstrong had encountered UFOs during the mission. @alienplanet# Do aliens exist? Hundreds of pictures and videos of UFOs are taken every year and enthusiasts believe many of them could be proof or even a hidden conspiracy. While some have been debunked as fake, there are still dozens that have left even the experts scratching their heads and wondering if we really have been visited by creatures from another @Alien09M# planet. @alienplanet# UFO, the mysterious moving object that appears in the sky occasionally is claimed to have no orthodox scientific explanation regarding its existence. As per the prevailing belief they are flying saucer and the same can be a monster spaceships carrying real extraterrestrials through clouds. Nowadays, UFO sighting has been a matter of amusement rather than a concern, even though there are ample evidences about their scary appearance. However, in postmodern culture, where Alien Videos are common, the movement of UFO needs to be taken as a serious matter. The appearance of flying saucer and their real images caught on tape is a proof of Alien life and the same has ignited the curiosity of NASA. They are in a set @Alien09M# out to find out the hidden secrets of the extraterrestrials in the Universe.@alienplanet# Some of the main discussions happening related to this topic are alien, ufo, alien sightings, ufo sightings, ufo caught on camera, ufo objects, proof of aliens, Extra terrestrial Life, ufo caught on camera, ufo caught on tape and others are un explained, ufo mystery, nasa alien program, ufo 2017, alien 2017, shocking ufo video. In some instant, Unidentified Flying Objects are reported to have often observed by air force personnel in military during their preparation for encounters. They used to mistake these flying objects as the consequence of the conspiracy of their rival groups. Some of the latest UFO incidents @Alien09M# are caught on video camera and their video footage has generated a big question mark in front of science. @alienplanet# In our Alien Planet Youtube channel, we have done our best to present the UFO related footage in a splendid manner. In that, you can view @Alien09M# the real scary stories of UFO objects and enjoy yourself by leaving back a thought in your mind. @alienplanet# Subscribe US : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNuf7nY3r6LrLWYONRGv-Xg?sub_confirmation=1 -
3:45How to Become an Astronomer
How to Become an AstronomerHow 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 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. -

24 Hours In The Life Of An Astronomer24 Hours In The Life Of An Astronomer
http://www.facebook.com/ScienceReason ... ESOcast 4: 24 hours in the life of an ESO astronomer. Have you ever wondered what it must be like to be an astronomer? In this fourth episode of the ESOcast, Dr. J takes us behind the scenes at ESOs Very Large Telescope in Chile to show us what a day in the life of an ESO staff astronomer is like. --- Please SUBSCRIBE to Science & Reason: • http://www.youtube.com/Best0fScience • http://www.youtube.com/ScienceTV • http://www.youtube.com/FFreeThinker --- 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.

So cool: As mentioned by Dr. Brian May here (scroll down a bit): http://brianmay.com/whatsnew.html (Sat. Dec. 1st, 2012) On - National Geographic http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2012/02/21/new-time-lapse-gives-rare-glimpse-at-atacamas-starry-nights/ - Nikon Rumours! http://nikonrumors.com/2012/02/27/guest-post-astronomers-paradise-time-lapse-video.aspx/ NEW: Fine Art prints of this movie at: http://christophmalin.zenfolio.com/ Cerro Paranal is an astronomers paradise with its stunningly dark, steady and transparent sky. Located in the barren Atacama Desert of Chile it is home to some of the world's leading telescopes. Operated by the European Southern Observatory (www.eso.org) the Very Large Telescope (VLT) is located on the Paranal mountain, composed of four 8 m telescopes which can combine their light to make a giant telescope by interferometry. Four smaller auxiliary telescopes, each 1.8 m in aperture, are important elements of the VLT interferometer. Walking on the desert near Paranal between the scattered stones and boulders on the pale red dust, feels like being on Mars but under the Earth sky. Paranal was selected for cutting edge astronomical observations also because of the sky transparency and steady atmospheric condition which let astronomers peer into tiny details in the deep cosmos using giant telescopes. This film is made with footage from the November 2011 TWAN imaging expedition to Paranal assigned by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). We photographed 14 nights in a row from usually 05:30 pm to 08:00 a.m. All video rights reserved by Christoph Malin (www.christophmalin.com) and Babak Tafreshi (btafreshi@twanight.org) of The World at Night (TWAN) program (www.twanight.org/tafreshi).

About 35000 TimeLapse images processed, 7500 used for this part of "Astronomers Paradise". I hope we could at least capture the magic of this very special place a bit - this is how the night sky looks like, if people care about light pollution. And we need more people to do that.

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.

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 ...

Night Vision: The Blind Astronomer of Nova Scotia
Tim Doucette is legally blind, yet he sees the stars better than most people. A childhood diagnosis of congenital cataracts forced doctors to remove Doucette's lenses and widen his pupils. That left the amateur astronomer with only about 10 percent of his eyesight, but it also allows his pupils to pick up more light at night. You've never seen the night sky quite like Doucette.

The Dark Island
This film was shot over 11 nights in March on La Palma, Canary Islands. La Palma is often called ‘Europes’ Hawaii’ as it has all the ingredients for a perfect night sky cocktail; altitude, dry air and a lack of light pollution. These elements when combined make for a stunning night sky. Because of it’s clean air and clear skies many of the worlds top observatories have facilities on top of the island. The main goal of this film was to capture the Milky Way rising from the horizon at a low angle across the sky. There are two main factors that affect the position of the Milky Way; latitude and time of year. Latitude is your distance either North or South from the Earth’s equator. In the Northern Hemisphere the closer you are to the equator the higher the central core of the Milky Way wil...

Shocking Astronomer's Video Of UFO With Alien | Space Videos 2017
"Alien Planet" Channel comes up with Latest UFO/Alien Sightings Videos.UFO sightings in outer space are sightings of unidentified flying objects reported by astronauts while in space that they could not explain at the time. These sightings were claimed as evidence for alien visits by ufologists, although prosaic explanations have since been found for almost all of them. Some of the alleged sightings never occurred: science fiction writer Otto Binder perpetuated a hoax claiming Apollo 11 @Alien09M# Commander Neil Armstrong had encountered UFOs during the mission. @alienplanet#
Do aliens exist? Hundreds of pictures and videos of UFOs are taken every year and enthusiasts believe many of them could be proof or even a hidden conspiracy. While some have been debunked as fake, there are still dozens that have left even the experts scratching their heads and wondering if we really have been visited by creatures from another @Alien09M# planet. @alienplanet#
UFO, the mysterious moving object that appears in the sky occasionally is claimed to have no orthodox scientific explanation regarding its existence. As per the prevailing belief they are flying saucer and the same can be a monster spaceships carrying real extraterrestrials through clouds. Nowadays, UFO sighting has been a matter of amusement rather than a concern, even though there are ample evidences about their scary appearance. However, in postmodern culture, where Alien Videos are common, the movement of UFO needs to be taken as a serious matter. The appearance of flying saucer and their real images caught on tape is a proof of Alien life and the same has ignited the curiosity of NASA. They are in a set @Alien09M# out to find out the hidden secrets of the extraterrestrials in the Universe.@alienplanet#
Some of the main discussions happening related to this topic are alien, ufo, alien sightings, ufo sightings, ufo caught on camera, ufo objects, proof of aliens, Extra terrestrial Life, ufo caught on camera, ufo caught on tape and others are un explained, ufo mystery, nasa alien program, ufo 2017, alien 2017, shocking ufo video. In some instant, Unidentified Flying Objects are reported to have often observed by air force personnel in military during their preparation for encounters. They used to mistake these flying objects as the consequence of the conspiracy of their rival groups. Some of the latest UFO incidents @Alien09M# are caught on video camera and their video footage has generated a big question mark in front of science. @alienplanet#

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.

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.

Atacama Starry Nights: Episode I
Astronomer's Paradise is the first episode of a Atacama Starry Nights timelapse movie series.
So cool: As mentioned by Dr. Brian May here (scroll down a bit): http://brianmay.com/whatsnew.html (Sat. Dec. 1st, 2012)

NEW: Fine Art prints of this movie at: http://christophmalin.zenfolio.com/
Cerro Paranal is an astronomers paradise with its stunningly dark, steady and transparent sky. Located in the barren Atacama Desert of Chile it is home to some of the world's leading telescopes.
Operated by the European Southern Observatory (www.eso.org) the Very Large Telescope (VLT) is located on the Paranal mountain, composed of four 8 m telescopes which can combine their light to make a giant telescope by interferometry.
Four smaller auxiliary telescopes, each 1.8 m in aperture, are important elements of the VLT interferometer.
Walking on the desert near Paranal between the scattered stones and boulders on the pale red dust, feels like being on Mars but under the Earth sky.
Paranal was selected for cutting edge astronomical observations also because of the sky transparency and steady atmospheric condition which let astronomers peer into tiny details in the deep cosmos using giant telescopes.
This film is made with footage from the November 2011 TWAN imaging expedition to Paranal assigned by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). We photographed 14 nights in a row from usually 05:30 pm to 08:00 a.m.
All video rights reserved by Christoph Malin (www.christophmalin.com) and Babak Tafreshi (btafreshi@twanight.org) of The World at Night (TWAN) program (www.twanight.org/tafreshi).
The inside vista-observatory video is contributed by Stephane Guisard (www.astrosurf.com/sguisard).
The music is by Carbon Based Lifeforms (carbonbasedlifeforms.net). Song Arecibo extract from the album [Twentythree], write & produced by Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad, published by Ultimae (ultimae.com).
Equipment used by Christoph on assignment:
- 2 Nikon D3s
- 1 Nikon D700
- 1 Nikon D7000
- 2 AFS 12-24/2.8, 1 AFS 24-70/2.8, 1 AF 16/2.8 Fisheye, 1 AF DX 10/2.8 Fisheye
- Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly with MX2
- Astrotrac AT320 X-AG and Merlin with MX2
Transitions done with Apple Aperture (see http://vimeo.com/35998334). Edited and rendered with Final Cut Pro 10, Motion and Compressor. Some re-edits recently done with LR4 and LRT for testing, fun!. About 35000 TimeLapse images processed, 7500 used for this part of "Astronomers Paradise".
I hope we could at least capture the magic of this very special place a bit - this is how the night sky looks like, if people care about light pollution. And we need more people to do that.
With best regards,
Christoph Malin

This film is made with footage from the November 2011 TWAN imaging expedition to Paranal assigned by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). We photographed 14 nights in a row from usually 05:30 pm to 08:00 a.m.

The inside vista-observatory video is contributed by Stephane Guisard (www.astrosurf.com/sguisard).
The music is by Carbon Based Lifeforms (carbonbasedlifeforms.net). Song Arecibo extract from the album [Twentythree], write & produced by Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad, published by Ultimae (ultimae.com).
Equipment used by Christoph on assignment:
- 2 Nikon D3s
- 1 Nikon D700
- 1 Nikon D7000
- 2 AFS 12-24/2.8, 1 AFS 24-70/2.8, 1 AF 16/2.8 Fisheye, 1 AF DX 10/2.8 Fisheye
- Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly with MX2
- Astrotrac AT320 X-AG and Merlin with MX2
Transitions done with Apple Aperture (see http://vimeo.com/35998334). Edited and rendered with Final Cut Pro 10, Motion and Compressor. Some re-edits recently done with LR4 and LRT for testing, fun!. About 35000 TimeLapse images processed, 7500 used for this part of "Astronomers Paradise".
I hope we could at least capture the magic of this very special place a bit - this is how the night sky looks like, if people care about light pollution. And we need more people to do that.
With best regards,
Christoph Malin

This film was shot over 11 nights in March on La Palma, Canary Islands.
La Palma is often called ‘Europes’ Hawaii’ as it has all the ingredients for a perfect night sky cocktail; altitude, dry air and a lack of light pollution. These elements when combined make for a stunning night sky. Because of it’s clean air and clear skies many of the worlds top observatories have facilities on top of the island.
The main goal of this film was to capture the Milky Way rising from the horizon at a low angle across the sky. There are two main factors that affect the position of the Milky Way; latitude and time of year.
Latitude is your distance either North or South from the Earth’s equator. In the Northern Hemisphere the closer you are to the equator the higher the central core of the Milky Way will rise into the sky. La Palma is positioned at 28˚ North, which is a good latitude to photograph the central core of the Milky Way.
Time of year affects the angle in which the Milky Ways appears in the sky. The general consensus is that the Milky Way season starts in March and ends in October. In March the angle in which the Milky Way rises in the Northern Hemisphere is at its’ most acute. As Spring turns into Summer the Milky Ways angle increases tilting until it is upright through the months of June to August, then falls away back on itself slightly through September to November until the core disappears from view through the Winter months.
To achieve the correct angle I had to visit as early as possible in the season and with the new Moon phase of March being the week of the 6th the plan was set. You would think that with La Palma being at a latitude that is on par with Northern Africa the conditions would be favourable any time of the year, but with altitude and the trade winds blowing in, this was not the case.
I was hiking with a heavy pack back at altitude through very high winds, it was possibly the toughest conditions I have ever encountered in my time shooting astrophotography. But funnily enough it was not the wind, altitude or the cold that was the hardest part, the real test was having the endurance to wait out in these conditions for the Milky Way to rise which happens in March at around 3am. It is safe to say that after 11 consecutive nights of hiking from dusk and shooting until dawn I was a little broken, but adventure only truly starts when you are faced with challenges, when you overcome them, you remember these moments with far more clarity over anything else.

“I'm Dr Mark Gallaway, I'm the technical officer at the Bayfordbury Observatory, associated with the University of Hertfordshire.
“So there are 200 billion stars in the galaxy - and our galaxy is a pretty average galaxy. There are about 100 - 200 billion galaxies, so there are a lot of stars. And from current observations we're getting at the moment, it looks like every star has planets. With that many stars, and that many planets, the likelihood is that life has arisen on some of them.
“Astrophysics; 99% of it is a grind. We spend an awful lot of time doing really mundane things. There's a lot of reading, there's a lot of computer coding, there's a lot of running simulations and things like this.
“But about 1% of the time you discover something, and it's completely joyous. I remember as an undergrad I got my first new object, and it's a really amazing moment and that never goes away - when you're sitting there and you think, 'No one in the entire world knows what I know.' It's a really really amazing feeling.
“People like looking up and looking into the heavens and there's incredible beauty out there. I mean, I always say that a science fiction artist couldn't make up the stuff that we see.
“I like to think that our entire knowledge of the universe is like a high brick wall. And every time that we make a discovery we remove a brick out. It's small steps. And eventually, you know you can peer through and see what's on the other side of the wall.
“But it is an absolutely beautiful moment when you'll be able to get that little bit of information, either something completely new or something that confirm what you've been doing, or even actually, disproves it.
“Astrophysics isn't easy. It's difficult to understand. A lot of questions, and a lot of questions that push against people's understanding and pushes against their faith as well sometimes.
“Because time started at the Big Bang, there's no way of knowing what came before it. So, some of these questions are just unanswerable - there will always be questions that have no answer.”

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.

Shocking Astronomer's Video Of UFO With Alien | Space Videos 2017
"Alien Planet" Channel comes up with Latest UFO/Alien Sightings Videos.UFO sightings in outer space are sightings of unidentified flying objects reported by astronauts while in space that they could not explain at the time. These sightings were claimed as evidence for alien visits by ufologists, although prosaic explanations have since been found for almost all of them. Some of the alleged sightings never occurred: science fiction writer Otto Binder perpetuated a hoax claiming Apollo 11 @Alien09M# Commander Neil Armstrong had encountered UFOs during the mission. @alienplanet#
Do aliens exist? Hundreds of pictures and videos of UFOs are taken every year and enthusiasts believe many of them could be proof or even a hidden conspiracy. While some have been debunked as fake, there are still dozens that have left even the experts scratching their heads and wondering if we really have been visited by creatures from another @Alien09M# planet. @alienplanet#
UFO, the mysterious moving object that appears in the sky occasionally is claimed to have no orthodox scientific explanation regarding its existence. As per the prevailing belief they are flying saucer and the same can be a monster spaceships carrying real extraterrestrials through clouds. Nowadays, UFO sighting has been a matter of amusement rather than a concern, even though there are ample evidences about their scary appearance. However, in postmodern culture, where Alien Videos are common, the movement of UFO needs to be taken as a serious matter. The appearance of flying saucer and their real images caught on tape is a proof of Alien life and the same has ignited the curiosity of NASA. They are in a set @Alien09M# out to find out the hidden secrets of the extraterrestrials in the Universe.@alienplanet#
Some of the main discussions happening related to this topic are alien, ufo, alien sightings, ufo sightings, ufo caught on camera, ufo objects, proof of aliens, Extra terrestrial Life, ufo caught on camera, ufo caught on tape and others are un explained, ufo mystery, nasa alien program, ufo 2017, alien 2017, shocking ufo video. In some instant, Unidentified Flying Objects are reported to have often observed by air force personnel in military during their preparation for encounters. They used to mistake these flying objects as the consequence of the conspiracy of their rival groups. Some of the latest UFO incidents @Alien09M# are caught on video camera and their video footage has generated a big question mark in front of science. @alienplanet#
In our Alien Planet Youtube channel, we have done our best to present the UFO related footage in a splendid manner. In that, you can view @Alien09M# the real scary stories of UFO objects and enjoy yourself by leaving back a thought in your mind. @alienplanet#

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 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.

Atacama Starry Nights: Episode I
Astronomer's Paradise is the first episode of a Atacama Starry Nights timelapse movie series.

Cerro Paranal is an astronomers paradise with its stunningly dark, steady and transparent sky. Located in the barren Atacama Desert of Chile it is home to some of the world's leading telescopes.
Operated by the European Southern Observatory (www.eso.org) the Very Large Telescope (VLT) is located on the Paranal mountain, composed of four 8 m telescopes which can combine their light to make a giant telescope by interferometry.
Four smaller auxiliary telescopes, each 1.8 m in aperture, are important elements of the VLT interferometer.
Walking on the desert near Paranal between the scattered stones and boulders on the pale red dust, feels like being on Mars but under the Earth sky.
Paranal was selected for cutting edge astronomical observations also because of the sky transparency and steady atmospheric condition which let astronomers peer into tiny details in the deep cosmos using giant telescopes.
This film is made with footage from the November 2011 TWAN imaging expedition to Paranal assigned by the European Southern Observatory (ESO). We photographed 14 nights in a row from usually 05:30 pm to 08:00 a.m.
All video rights reserved by Christoph Malin (www.christophmalin.com) and Babak Tafreshi (btafreshi@twanight.org) of The World at Night (TWAN) program (www.twanight.org/tafreshi).
The inside vista-observatory video is contributed by Stephane Guisard (www.astrosurf.com/sguisard).
The music is by Carbon Based Lifeforms (carbonbasedlifeforms.net). Song Arecibo extract from the album [Twentythree], write & produced by Johannes Hedberg and Daniel Segerstad, published by Ultimae (ultimae.com).
Equipment used by Christoph on assignment:
- 2 Nikon D3s
- 1 Nikon D700
- 1 Nikon D7000
- 2 AFS 12-24/2.8, 1 AFS 24-70/2.8, 1 AF 16/2.8 Fisheye, 1 AF DX 10/2.8 Fisheye
- Dynamic Perception Stage Zero Dolly with MX2
- Astrotrac AT320 X-AG and Merlin with MX2
Transitions done with Apple Aperture (see http://vimeo.com/35998334). Edited and rendered with Final Cut Pro 10, Motion and Compressor. Some re-edits recently done with LR4 and LRT for testing, fun!. About 35000 TimeLapse images processed, 7500 used for this part of "Astronomers Paradise".
I hope we could at least capture the magic of this very special place a bit - this is how the night sky looks like, if people care about light pollution. And we need more people to do that.

Tim Doucette is legally blind, yet he sees the stars better than most people. A childhood diagnosis of congenital cataracts forced doctors to remove Doucette's lenses and widen his pupils. That left the amateur astronomer with only about 10 percent of his eyesight, but it also allows his pupils to pick up more light at night. You've never seen the night sky quite like Doucette.

This film was shot over 11 nights in March on La Palma, Canary Islands.
La Palma is often called ‘Europes’ Hawaii’ as it has all the ingredients for a perfect night sky cocktail; altitude, dry air and a lack of light pollution. These elements when combined make for a stunning night sky. Because of it’s clean air and clear skies many of the worlds top observatories have facilities on top of the island.
The main goal of this film was to capture the Milky Way rising from the horizon at a low angle across the sky. There are two main factors that affect the position of the Milky Way; latitude and time of year.
Latitude is your distance either North or South from the Earth’s equator. In the Northern Hemisphere the closer you are to the equator the higher the central core of the Milky Way will rise into the sky. La Palma is positioned at 28˚ North, which is a good latitude to photograph the central core of the Milky Way.
Time of year affects the angle in which the Milky Ways appears in the sky. The general consensus is that the Milky Way season starts in March and ends in October. In March the angle in which the Milky Way rises in the Northern Hemisphere is at its’ most acute. As Spring turns into Summer the Milky Ways angle increases tilting until it is upright through the months of June to August, then falls away back on itself slightly through September to November until the core disappears from view through the Winter months.
To achieve the correct angle I had to visit as early as possible in the season and with the new Moon phase of March being the week of the 6th the plan was set. You would think that with La Palma being at a latitude that is on par with Northern Africa the conditions would be favourable any time of the year, but with altitude and the trade winds blowing in, this was not the case.
I was hiking with a heavy pack back at altitude through very high winds, it was possibly the toughest conditions I have ever encountered in my time shooting astrophotography. But funnily enough it was not the wind, altitude or the cold that was the hardest part, the real test was having the endurance to wait out in these conditions for the Milky Way to rise which happens in March at around 3am. It is safe to say that after 11 consecutive nights of hiking from dusk and shooting until dawn I was a little broken, but adventure only truly starts when you are faced with challenges, when you overcome them, you remember these moments with far more clarity over anything else.

The Astronomer’s Universe is a short documentary that attempts to capture the physical, emotional and spiritual space that an astronomer both occupies and explores.

“I'm Dr Mark Gallaway, I'm the technical officer at the Bayfordbury Observatory, associated with the University of Hertfordshire.
“So there are 200 billion stars in the galaxy - and our galaxy is a pretty average galaxy. There are about 100 - 200 billion galaxies, so there are a lot of stars. And from current observations we're getting at the moment, it looks like every star has planets. With that many stars, and that many planets, the likelihood is that life has arisen on some of them.
“Astrophysics; 99% of it is a grind. We spend an awful lot of time doing really mundane things. There's a lot of reading, there's a lot of computer coding, there's a lot of running simulations and things like this.
“But about 1% of the time you discover something, and it's completely joyous. I remember as an undergrad I got my first new object, and it's a really amazing moment and that never goes away - when you're sitting there and you think, 'No one in the entire world knows what I know.' It's a really really amazing feeling.
“People like looking up and looking into the heavens and there's incredible beauty out there. I mean, I always say that a science fiction artist couldn't make up the stuff that we see.
“I like to think that our entire knowledge of the universe is like a high brick wall. And every time that we make a discovery we remove a brick out. It's small steps. And eventually, you know you can peer through and see what's on the other side of the wall.
“But it is an absolutely beautiful moment when you'll be able to get that little bit of information, either something completely new or something that confirm what you've been doing, or even actually, disproves it.
“Astrophysics isn't easy. It's difficult to understand. A lot of questions, and a lot of questions that push against people's understanding and pushes against their faith as well sometimes.
“Because time started at the Big Bang, there's no way of knowing what came before it. So, some of these questions are just unanswerable - there will always be questions that have no answer.”
