Astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs can play an active role, especially in the discovery. Amateur astronomers have made and contributed to many important astronomical discoveries, Astronomy means law of the stars. Astronomy should not be confused with astrology, the system which claims that human affairs are correlated with the positions of celestial objects.
Although the two share a common origin, they are now entirely distinct. Generally, either the term astronomy or astrophysics may be used to refer to this subject, however, since most modern astronomical research deals with subjects related to physics, modern astronomy could actually be called astrophysics. Few fields, such as astrometry, are purely astronomy rather than also astrophysics, some titles of the leading scientific journals in this field includeThe Astronomical Journal, The Astrophysical Journal and Astronomy and Astrophysics.
In early times, astronomy only comprised the observation and predictions of the motions of objects visible to the naked eye, in some locations, early cultures assembled massive artifacts that possibly had some astronomical purpose. Before tools such as the telescope were invented, early study of the stars was conducted using the naked eye, most of early astronomy actually consisted of mapping the positions of the stars and planets, a science now referred to as astrometry.
From these observations, early ideas about the motions of the planets were formed, and the nature of the Sun, Moon, the Earth was believed to be the center of the Universe with the Sun, the Moon and the stars rotating around it. This is known as the model of the Universe, or the Ptolemaic system. The Babylonians discovered that lunar eclipses recurred in a cycle known as a saros. Astronautics — Astronautics is the theory and practice of navigation beyond Earths atmosphere.
The term astronautics was coined in the s by J. Rosny, president of the Goncourt academy, because there is a degree of technical overlap between the two fields, the term aerospace is often used to describe both at once.
In , Robert Esnault-Pelterie publishes the first book on the new research field, space launch vehicles must withstand titanic forces, while satellites can experience huge variations in temperature in very brief periods. Extreme constraints on mass cause astronautical engineers to face the constant need to save mass in the design in order to maximize the payload that reaches orbit. The early history of astronautics is theoretical, the mathematics of space travel was established by Isaac Newton in his treatise Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
In spite of this, astronautics did not become a discipline until the midth century. On the other hand, the question of spaceflight puzzled the literary imaginations of such figures as Jules Verne and H. Astrodynamics, the study of orbital motion and those specializing in this field examine topics such as spacecraft trajectories, ballistics and celestial mechanics. Spacecraft propulsion, how spacecraft change orbits, and how they are launched, most spacecraft have some variety of rocket engine, and thus most research efforts focus on some variety of rocket propulsion, such as chemical, nuclear or electric.
Spacecraft design, a form of systems engineering that centers on combining all the necessary subsystems for a particular launch vehicle or satellite. Controls, keeping a satellite or rocket in its desired orbit and orientation. Ufology — Ufology is the study of reports, visual records, physical evidence, and other phenomena related to unidentified flying objects. UFOs have been subject to investigations over the years by governments, independent groups. This article was printed eight years after Edward J. Media hype in the late s and early s following the Arnold sighting brought the concept of flying saucers to the public audience, as the publics preoccupation in UFOs grew, along with the number of reported sightings, the United States military began to take notice of the phenomenon.
If correct, the causing the sightings were thus of importance to national security. Ufology has generally not been embraced by academia as a field of study, even though UFOs were, during the late s and early s. Even among scientifically inclined UFO research efforts, data collecting is often done by amateur investigators, ufology is characterized as a partial or total pseudoscience, which many ufologists reject.
Stanton Friedman considers the attitude of mainstream academics as arrogant and dismissive. Denzler states that the fear of ridicule and a loss of status has prevented scientists of pursuing a public interest in UFOs, J. Allen Hyneks also commented, Ridicule is not part of the scientific method and people should not be taught that it is.

Hynek said of the frequent dismissal of UFO reports by astronomers that the critics knew little about the sightings, Peter A. Sturrock suggests that a lack of funding is a major factor in the institutional lack of interest in UFOs. Scientific UFO research suffers from the fact that the phenomena under observation do not usually make appearances at a time.
The phenomena are observed, occur episodically, are not reproducible and they are not experiments that can be replicated at will at the laboratory bench under controlled conditions. The group was founded in by J. According to ufologist James W. Moseley, CUFOS wasnt a saucer club and, for a while, participation was restricted to scientists and other professionals who donated their time and expertise, Hyneks invisible college.
These materials include books, articles, documents, and sighting reports, second, the Center supports investigators with research materials. Allen Hynek — Dr. Josef Allen Hynek was an American astronomer, professor, and ufologist. In later years he conducted his own independent UFO research, developing the Close Encounter classification system and he is widely considered the father of the concept of scientific analysis both of reports and especially of trace evidence purportedly left by UFOs.
Hynek was born in Chicago to Czech parents, in , Hynek received a B. In , he completed his Ph. He specialized in the study of evolution and in the identification of spectroscopic binary stars. In , Hynek submitted a report on the fluctuations in the brightness and color of starlight and daylight, in , he left to join Professor Fred Whipple, the Harvard astronomer, at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, which had combined with the Harvard Observatory at Harvard.
Hynek had the assignment of directing the tracking of an American space satellite, in addition to over teams of amateur scientists around the world that were part of Operation Moonwatch, there were also 12 photographic Baker-Nunn stations. A special camera was devised for the task and a prototype was built and tested and then stripped apart again when, on Oct. After completing his work on the program, Hynek went back to teaching, taking the position of professor. In response to reports of flying saucers, the United States Air Force established Project Sign in to examine sightings of unidentified flying objects.
Hynek was contacted to act as a consultant to Project Sign.
With or without aliens inbetween. He then was a staff member in the Collectibles and Multimedia areas of Perfil and edited a dozen infomagazines for magazines such as Noticias , Semanario and Caras.

Like every football fan with fantasies of his or her Dream Team, here we are, with the perfect line-up, the ultimate best eleven.
He studied UFO reports and decided whether the phenomena described therein suggested known astronomical objects, when Project Sign hired Hynek, he was skeptical of UFO reports. Hynek suspected that they were made by witnesses, or by persons who had misidentified man-made or natural objects. In , Hynek said that the subject seems utterly ridiculous. For the first few years of his UFO studies, Hynek could safely be described as a debunker and he thought that a great many UFOs could be explained as prosaic phenomena misidentified by an observer.
In his book, Hynek admitted that he enjoyed his role as a debunker for the Air Force and he also noted that debunking was what the Air Force expected of him. This latter development culminated in the papers April seizure by the state, La Prensa was returned to the Gainza Paz family by the succeeding regime in , though its readership never regained its pre levels. Ultimately, the company sold its landmark Avenida de Mayo headquarters in to the city, which converted it into the City Cultural Ministry.

One of the first TV cameras used by Canal 7. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System after Mercury. And we all want to know why things happen to us. Particularly when we hurt. Alejandro Agostinelli has devoted a good part of his life to researching these kinds of cases: I know for a fact that he could write twenty books as good as this one without repeating one single story. As a reader, I would like him to do so.
Through his journey on both sides, Agostinelli discovered that the more his passion grew for alien case studies, the more he held on to our planet and the beings that inhabit it. He started wondering, then, why aliens are seen by those who see them; why these people look up to the sky to see aliens, and why, finally, they find what they were looking for.
Invasores is made out of this wonderful material. It is a book conceived and written to be enjoyed by readers all over the universe, but, above all, by those who reside on Earth. It can also be described as a two-act play: Act I looks back to the early days of the contactee era, which was as active in South America and Europe as it was in North America: When reproved, he would reply: They must be primed first!

The s, a prophet swears he worked with an alien technology inspired by voices from beyond the grave.
A civilian swears he had seen a flying saucer that stole his cellphone, while another claims that ingesting the meat of the mutilated cow gave him superpowers. Who are the invaders? This book affirms, doubts, questions, and reflects on this question. But above all, it relates to us the experiences they have lived, their beliefs, and tells us about the protagonists of an alien Argentina.
Real stories about extraterrestrials in Argentina Sudamericana Ed. A key name in the study of things ufological in Argentina is Alejandro Agostinelli, a journalist by trade. Historias reales de extraterrestres en la Argentina Invaders: Through personal, moving interviews with the personages themselves he documents not only the lives of odd characters associated to singular experiences, but also the visions and beliefs from which are woven the tapestry of the cult of the extraterrestrials in Argentina.
You can read more information and lots of comments at: Journalist Alejandro Agostinelli has published a book that reopens the legendary UFO case that bewildered Mendoza in It is being displayed today in our province. This documentary history is a review of Argentinean sightings that involve Chupacabras, little green dwarves and spiritism. There is a revival of alien culture: The invaders are among us once more. His book is somewhere between the pleasure of the chronicle and the flashback of an archive.
A journalist may delight in sleuthing across the paranormal landscape; for he protagonists of these events —the contactees— it is an exhumation of an extreme experience. The reader may enjoy the recollections and experiences of their protagonists while having solid historical data at hand. None of the stories is unreal. All of these have appeared in the press, in newscasts and eventually in books on the subject.
Thus, with several first-person accounts that are sheer narrative gold, Agostinelli chose 11 invasions. What will be the outcome of reading this book, now that the subject of aliens feels slightly retro? It may be, perhaps, a fine opportunity for taking out the folding chair and watching the skies again. It is clear that this is a work charged with comparative paranoia, hallucination and longing. Furthermore, these accounts include the Chupacabras, [the subterranean city of] Erks, tours of Mount Uritorco and strange abductions like that of Zulma Fayad.
And a constant appears. Unlike other countries, which point to Mars or Venus as the alien homeland, Argentineans connect more closely with visitors from Ganymede, one of the Jovian satellites. How did you know that these were the stories, and not others? Furthermore, by having worked on TV documentaries, I have a rather visual training. I know which stories are the most attractive, involving and suggestive.
My criteria for selection were double.
