Peter Bassett Hill Top Dome at Sacramento Peak Observatory New Mexico, Solar Observatory Physics Sun Sunspot Sunspots, Astrophysics

This picture shows the Hilltop Dome, which sits near the top of the hill. As with the Evans Solar Facility, the roof of the building (with the doors in it) can rotate around to allow the telescope to see the Sun anywhere in the sky. This telescope is used for taking patrol images of the whole Sun. Such images are taken for discovering when something interesting is happening on the Sun, such as a solar flare, and to have a record of what the Sun looks like every day. One of the patrol tasks of the Hilltop Dome is to film the Sun all the time. This image is stored regularly for later study, and is also fed into the local TV system, so everybody who lives in Sunspot (the village that is Sacramento Peak Observatory) can see what the Sun looks like on his or her own TV set. This image is also on display on one of the monitors just inside the entrance to the Vacuum Tower. The Hilltop Dome was completed in 1963. It is not open to the public.

Infrared telescope. The Astrophysical Research Consortium infrared telescope at New Mexico, USA. This reflecting telescope uses a 3.5 metre diam- eter mirror to focus the signal, giving a sharper image than a lens. The detector picks up infrared radiation, which scatters less than visible light and extends the telescope's view. The telescope is operated almost exclusively by remote control, allowing different observers based across the USA to share the facility on any given night. It is located at Apache Point, on the summit of a mountain in southern New Mexico.

OUTER SPACE The Milky Way Galaxy -- Like early explorers mapping the continents of our globe, astronomers are busy charting the spiral structure of our galaxy, the Milky Way. Using infrared images from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, scientists have discovered that the Milky Way's elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars. Previously, our galaxy was thought to possess four major arms. This artist's concept illustrates the new view of the Milky Way, along with other findings presented at the 212th American Astronomical Society meeting in St. Louis, Mo. The galaxy's two major arms (Scutum-Centaurus and Perseus) can be seen attached to the ends of a thick central bar, while the two now-demoted minor arms (Norma and Sagittarius) are less distinct and located between the major arms. The major arms consist of the highest densities of both young and old stars; the minor arms are primarily filled with gas and pockets of star-forming activity. The artist's concept also includes a new spiral arm, called the "Far-3 kiloparsec arm," discovered via a radio-telescope survey of gas in the Milky Way. This arm is shorter than the two major arms and lies along the bar of the galaxy. Our sun lies near a small, partial arm called the Orion Arm, or Orion Spur, located between the Sagittarius and Perseus arms -- Picture by Lightroom Photos / NASA

Peter Bassett This bust is of George Ellery Hale 1868-1938 and is on show at the entrance of Palomar Mountain Observatory. Hale studied physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and while still an undergraduate he invented the spectroheliograph. This instrument is capable of photographing the sun at precise wavelengths and is now a basic tool of solar astronomy. From this interest he formed the Mt Wilson Observatory site. He studied sunspots there and discovered that they possess strong magnetic fields the polarity of which reverse on a 22 year cycle. Hale spent a lot of time persuading various bodies to fund the building of larger telescopes, including the 200 inch Mount Palomar reflector, the second largest telescope in the world.

Peter Bassett Home of Grady L 'Barney' Barnett Flying Saucer witness or Roswell near Socorro New Mexico 709 Park Street Socorro New Mexico USA 1947.

Grady 'Barney' Barnett was a witness of the 1947 UFO crash at Roswell. He testified he saw alien bodies. He and his wife Ruth lived here during the famous incident. 1947; The first witness on the scene was Grady L. "Barney" Barnett, a civil engineer with the US Soil Conservation Service who was on a military assignment at the time. He told some friends that in early July 1947 he had encountered a metallic, disk shaped "aircraft" about twenty-five or thirty feet in diameter. While he was examining it, a small group of people arrived who claimed to be part of an archaeological research team from the University of Pennsylvania. Barnett later told his friends, "I noticed that they were standing around looking at some dead bodies that had fallen to the ground. I think there were others in the machine, which was kind of a metallic...disk It was not all that big. It seemed to be made of a metal that looked like stainless steel. The machine had been split open by explosion or impact." "I tried to get close to see what the bodies were like. They were all dead as far as I could see and there were bodies inside and outside the vehicle. The ones outside had been tossed out by impact. They were like humans but they were not humans. The heads were round, the eyes were small, and they had no hair. The eyes were oddly spaced. They were quite small by our standards and their heads were larger in proportion to their bodies than ours. Their clothing seemed to be one-piece and gray in color. You couldn't se

The Clarke Telescope Dome. The Observatory's original 24-inch (0.61 m) Alvan Clark Telescope is still in use today for public education. Lowell Observatory hosts 70,000 visitors per year at their Steele Visitors Center who take guided daytime tours and view various wonders of the night sky through the Clark Telescope and other telescopes. It was founded in 1894 by astronomer Percival Lowell, and run for a time by his third cousin Guy Lowell of Boston's well-known Lowell family. The current trustee of Lowell Observatory is William Lowell Putnam, grandnephew of founder Percival Lowell and son of long-time trustee Roger Putnam.
