Except for the Sun, our Moon is the brightest celestial body in the heavens, and has been a topic of discussion and myth for thousands of years. Regularly visible to the naked eye, the Moon is our closest neighbor and Orbits around us; even to the naked eye, it reveals shaded areas that, under further investigation with your Apochromatic telescope or 10 x 25 BCR Compact Leica Binoculars reveals craters, seas and mountain ranges, as interesting as the Earth's own surface.

The Moon has easily been examined more thoroughly than any other object in our sky. It has highlands and lightly cratered seas that give the moon its texture. The formation of our Moon is one that is a bit singular in the history of our solar system. Other moons formed out of protoplanatary disks, much like the planets. Our Moon, on the other hand, is thought to have been created when an object that was about the size of Mars collided with the earth and shattered; the resulting space debris would then join together into the Moon that we see every night.

When the Moon appears fully in the sky and is not obscured by its position, we can see the lunar maria, the lunar seas that anciently were believed to be full of water. Now we know that the moon is full of ancient solid lava known as basalt. The seas were formed when asteroids hit the Moon's surface. These maria are found primarily on the side of the moon "facing" the earth, with far fewer collisions and impacts having occurred on the far side.

The atmosphere of the Moon is very thin and one of its main sources is outgassing, where gases like radon are formed from the radioactive decay of the minerals in the crust of the Moon's surface. The other source for the Moon's atmosphere is the bombardment of tiny meteorites and ions from the solar wind.

In recent years, it was found that the Moon is the fact it might contain packets of ice water. Due to comets and meteors hitting the moon nearly continuously, water has been brought to the Moon. But we thought the weak gravity and the sunlight would split it down to hydrogen and oxygen and spin it off into space. It was discovered, though, that there are craters on the moon that are in permanent shadow, and that the water that rests in these shadow could be quite stable for long periods of time. The presence of water on the Moon, a subject which has seen hot debate is still undecided at this time.

Other than the Earth, the Moon is the heavenly body in our solar system that we know the most about, but in many ways, it is still a mystery to us. We will continue to learn more about our closest neighbor and our only satellite.

"If the earth goes, we go. And so we should go elsewhere, so that when the earth goes, we have another place to go. And while we're at it, we should take our pets and plants, too. We wouldn't want to be without them, just as they wouldn't want to be without us--even if they don't know it. It's our job to know things, and to act accordingly. And if we fail at that mission, then we really will have failed in upholding our end of the Burkean bargain-that is, partnering not only with the living and the dead, but with those who are yet to be born." James Pinkerton, "The Ultimate Lifeboat," TCS Daily, 2006

Matt has his own website about cheap night vision binoculars and other instruments we can use to view the moon.

Architectural Outsourcing of Building Information Modeling in the Philippines

<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->

Architectural outsourcing services for Building Information Modeling (BIM) is available from the Philippines, provided by DigiScript Philippines, Inc. along with its other architectural outsourcing services such as 2D CAD Production Support, 3D Visualization and Point Cloud Conversion.

 

DigiScript Philippines, Inc. uses state of the art digital software and hardware technology such as the Autodesk software suite's Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, 3DSMax and AutoCAD; Leica Geosystems' Point Cloud, Cloudworx and Cyclone and the Leica Scanstation which is used for High Definition Surveying.

 

The Building Information Modeling services of DigiScript Philippines, Inc. create a virtual information model which is not only a detailed computer visualization of a building but also a step by step documentation of the process of its construction. Such digital representation records all the components used in the building including their respective properties, their quantities, their geometric characteristics, how the elements relate to each other in space and the geographic information on their sources.

 

The virtual information model is very useful for the building owners, contractors and the design team as a means of easy communication and information exchange. With the right software, there is interoperability of all information that is put in. Everyone in the loop can use such information for their particular field of specialization. This gives every member of the team more opportunities to quickly identify any conflicts in design elements. Such conflicts are, therefore, immediately addressed and corrected before costly errors in construction occur.

 

Revit Architecture is the software designed specifically for Building Information Modeling. It goes beyond merely automating the drawing and modeling process, though. The software also minimizes the possibility of errors that are often associated with manual drawing and modeling. This saves time, money and effort for all concerned. Furthermore, the advanced versions of Revit Architecture contain features that can produce specific information on sun position and solar effects that designers and builders need in order to come up with genuinely sustainable designs. The software likewise provides quick feedback covering project design, scope, schedule and budget.

 

Coordination and teamwork are enhanced with the use of Revit Architecture. It allows multiple users to collaborate in a single network, and all project data are in one file. With its bidirectional associativity, any digital change done any section of the digital structure is automatically reflected throughout the entire file. Content management is simplified.

 

In addition to excellent Building Information Modeling services, DigiScript Philippines, Inc. also offers three more digital architectural outsourcing services. These are 2D CAD Production Support, 3D Visualization and Point Cloud Conversion.

 

The 2D CAD Production Support services of DigiScript Philippines, Inc. can encode or convert any image, scanned drawing, sketch, red mark and as-built submitted by its clients into CAD or Revit files. DigiScript can develop and produce full Design Development and Construction Documents as CAD or Revit files from design specifications and preliminary drawings also submitted by its clients.

 

The ArchiVision 3D visualization services of DigiScript Philippines, Inc. can produce 3D imaging such as photorealistic renderings, photomontages, site overlays, site integrations, site animations, rotations, cinematic quality animated walkthroughs and fly-by's, animated presentations and high quality audio visual presentations from design ideas of its clients.

 

The Philippines is now considered a premium provider of architectural outsourcing services for Building Information Modeling (BIM). This is especially exemplified by the architectural outsourcing services provided by DigiScript Philippines, Inc. which also include 2D CAD Production Support, 3D Visualization and Point Cloud Conversion. Any architectural or engineering firm based anywhere around the world will benefit much from these digital services in terms of cost effectiveness, maximization of resources, flexibility and expanded productivity. Architectural outsourcing through DigiScript Philippines, Inc. will help any architectural or engineering firm achieve more.

Is a theodolite proper for observing stars?

The first reason is that the cheapest telescope (and still can`t afford it right now) has a enlarging power of 15X and the theodolite my dad brought me has 20X with LEICA lens.
I`ve been mad about stars since I was little and winter is the only time to see my favorite constellation : Orion.
Can I use it as a telescope?I haven`t had the chance to test it because it was cloudy every evening and I didn`t have time to go on the field for a better view.I`d like to know weather it is good for my favorite activity
Thanks!

I made my first observations with a theodolite.

It was fun, because I was learning spherical trigonometry at the time, and I compared the altitude and azimuth I calculated, with the readings of the theodolite.

I found that if you take time to set it up properly, you can "find your position" quite accurately with a theodolite (and navigation tables).

The other thing I did with it was to observe the Moon and learn the names of all the major features that I could see with the theodolite.

The thing I did which marked me the most was calculating the alt-azimuth position of Venus during the day, then setting up the theodolite (at the specific hour) and finding Venus! Within a few minutes, I could move my eye away (slowly) from the eyepiece -- with both eyes open -- and find Venus in daylight without the telescope.
