Astronomers of Valpovo's greatest achievement

Klikni za detaljeThe news of the discovery of the supernovae has been published on Zvjezdarnica.com, Croatia's leading web portal on astronomy.

What are supernovae? Supernovae are one of the most energetic and powerful explosions in the universe. They can sometimes be brighter that a whole galaxy in which they are situated! Supernovae last relatively short, appearing visible for only a couple of weeks or months. By discovering supernovea we help answer some of the cosmologists' greatest questions on matery, the beginning and the end of our universe. In average, however, supernovae tend to appear every 100 years in a galaxy the size of our Milky Way.

So how do we find even more supernovae? We need to look into different galaxies. A lot of different galaxies.

How we discovered of a supernova!

It was Sunday evening when I received the sms from Filip (Novoselnik): "We've got it!". I almost fell out of my chair. Within a couple of minutes everyone of us was online searching form someone to confirm the finding. The clouds weren't favourble to us, so Rainer contacted Catalina to check the finding in their own archive -answer A. Drake's still wandering in our minds: "Yes, we captured it too, but our software failed to detect it. Congratulations on the discovery!" A few days later we were watching the IAU list of supernovae, which now had our own: SN 2010AX.

I can barely find the words to describe the feeling of watching the list; alongside projects like Catalina's Sky Survey, PanSTARRSa, LOSS i CHASE there were now our names (which btw are 2 highschool students, 1 graduate studente and a few others from astronomy club "Anonymus", along with myself and the Observatory La Sagra in Spain.

Team members are: F. Novoselnik, D. Vida, R. Gregić, I. Skokić (AD Anonymus) and S. Sanchez, J. Nomen, R. Stoss, B. Yeung, J. Rodriguez, M. Hurtado (LSSS).
Amazing. Congratulations to the team and everyone involved!

"Mama, Mjesec je k'o pravi!" - promatranje u Belišću - 19.03.2010.

Antologija jednog promatranja (KLIK za fotogaleriju)Ima nešto u tome kad prvi puta pogledate kroz teleskop i raširenih očiju uzviknete "Kako je dobar Mjesec!" Vjerojatno se sjećate i sami. Upravo to smo omogućili danas djeci Belišća i okolnih sela (njih 80 otprilike), koji su dovukli roditelje za rukav i gledali zajedno Mjesec i Mars.

Unatoč maglovitom nebu (koje je 1h nakon kristalno čisto naravno, kad smo otišli), bilo je super i sbvi su bili oduševljeni. osobito Gosp. Glasovac koji je ponudio skorašnje suradnje oko predavanja koja će se održavati u Belišću. Dobro je i rekao, teško je ovdje bilio što pokrenuti, a ovo ga je oduševilo i iznenadilo posjećenošću.

Size of the Universe

You can't grasp the size of the Universe? Don't worry, nobody can Wink

It is extremly difficult for human brain to grasp and put in context such tiny dimensions as Planck length (1,616·10−35 m), and even more difficult to imagine the size of the visible Universe (930 Ym, yota=1024 meters) !

Here is an animation to help you: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/525347

Veličina svemira
