The Chilean Astronomer they just killed was responcible for building the largest scope in South America - this is important cause they will soon be able to see Planet X from there and, in fact, they probably just did. Someone needs to make a video of the Dead Astronomers Society... |

Rawlings was found dead in the home of his friend and fellow Oxford academic, Devinder Sivia, in January (See ‘Radio astronomer’s death shocks colleagues‘). Sivia was arrested and released on bail, but the UK Crown Prosecution Service now says that he will not face any charges, reports the BBC, adding that a coroner’s inquest will now seek to determine the cause of Rawlings’s death. Rawlings was a key figure in the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope project. |

Brian Geoffrey Marsden was born on August 5, 1937, he died on November 18, 2010. He was an astronomer américano-British; he was since 1978 the director of Minor Planet Center of the SAO located at Cambridge in Massachusetts. Minor Planet Center, under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union, it is the official organization in charge of the data-gathering of observation for small planets (asteroids) and comets, the calculation of their orbit and the publication of this information via Minor Planet Circulars. Al Rex Sandage was born on June 18, 1926 in Iowa city, Iowa (the United States), and died in San Gabriel (California) on November 13, 2010; it counted among the largest contemporary American astronomers. Born in an Jewish family, it converts towards the end of its life to Christianity. Sandage worked at the observatory of the Palomar Mount. This observatory belongs and is controlled by California Institue off technology (Caltech). One of the important programs allotted to the Palomar mount is the research program of comets and the asteroids géocroiseurs called Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT). the asteroids géocroiseurs are asteroids evolving/moving in the vicinity or in direction of the Earth. To name them one often uses abbreviation ECA, of English Earth-Crossing Asteroids, asteroids whose orbit crosses that of the Earth. Some of these objects being likely to run up against the Earth, they are the subject of a research and a particular follow-up. [link to www.realnewsreporter.com] |

Most of the accidents I hear about have to do with the hazards of traveling to and from observatories and conferences. A recent tragic accident was the death of Prof. David Schramm, a world renound University of Chicago physicist and cosmologist. He died in a private plane accident. A decade ago, an astronomer died at an observatory when a special set of interlock doors in the observatory dome failed to operate properly and he was crushed to death between the inside and outside walls of the rotating observatory dome at Kitt Peak. [link to www.astronomycafe.net] They knew about Planet X in the 80's - the Pioneer Craft was sent specifically to check it out : Wikipedia : Aaronson was killed during an accident in the evening hours of 30 April 1987, in the dome of the 4-m Mayall Telescope of the Kitt Peak National Observatory.[3] Aaronson was killed when he was crushed by the hatch leading out to the catwalk when the hatch was slammed shut on him by a ladder which extended down from the turning telescope dome. A switch on the hatch automatically shut down the dome rotation motor; however, the momentum of the dome kept it moving for a few moments, allowing it to hit the outward opening hatch. This design flaw was corrected after the accident by trimming the ladder and redesigning the hatch to slide sideways, parallel to the dome wall. David Norman Schramm (25 October 1945 – 19 December 1997) was an American astrophysicist and educator, and one of the world's foremost experts on the Big Bang theory. Schramm was a pioneer in the study of Big Bang nucleosynthesis and its use as a probe of dark matter (both baryonic and non-baryonic) and of neutrinos. He also made important contributions to the study of cosmic rays, supernova explosions, and heavy-element nucleosynthesis. |
