Anyone on Freenode?
28 May, 2009 05:03
I am most of the time connected to irc://irc.freenode.org as "vexor". You may sometimes find me in the background of #freebsd usually just taking in information related to FreeBSD, though when the talk is off topic, I will chime in if I am interested.
I am sure many of you also use this resource. How about sharing your handle in the comment area of this post? If you feel like chatting, feel free to message me. See you all on Freenode!

finding water based planets: Doppler wobble, transit searches, interferometric astrometry, direct imaging and the Precision Radial Velocity Spectrometer
31 March, 2009 22:34
This article is a short good read, in my opinion.
"Astronomers may be on the brink of discovering a second Earth-like planet, a find that would add fresh impetus to the search for extraterrestrial life, according to the US journal Science. Astronomers from six major centers, including NASA, Harvard and the University of Colorado, outline how advances in technology suggest scientists are on the verge of being able to detect the presence of small, rocky planets, much like our own, around distant stars for the first time. The planets are considered the most likely habitats for extraterrestrial life." - [The Daily Galaxy]
The article explains several methods for doing such observations, including: Doppler wobble, transit searches, interferometric astrometry, direct imaging and the Precision Radial Velocity Spectrometer.

For those of you wondering what the EINSTEIN@HOME Project is:
Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO gravitational wave detector. It also searches for radio pulsars in binary systems, using data from the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 and an International Year of Astronomy 2009 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.My name is Andy Wright - the founder, but really the creator of Team FreeBSD. If you want me to add any links, or have any questions or inclinations for such things related to our group (or to just say hi) - send me an e-mail: einstein@extracted.org or Skype name: extracted
''It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure'' -- Albert Einstein
