“Somos polvo de estrellas” es el nuevo libro de divulgación escrito de manera amena, sencilla y didáctica por el astrónomo José Maza, Premio Nacional de Ciencias Exactas (1999).
El lanzamiento del libro, editado por el Grupo Planeta, se realizó el viernes 7 de abril a las 20.00 horas, en el mirador más alto de Latinoamerica, Sky Costanera.
El libro fue presentado por la presidenta de la Academia Chilena de Ciencias, María Teresa Ruiz, quien recientemente fue reconocida con el premio For Woman in Science en la categoría Ciencias Exactas, entregado por ‘L’Oreal UNESCO.
Jose Maza
José Maza Sancho nació en Valparaíso en 1948.
En 1964 ingresó a la Escuela de Ingeniería de la Universidad de Chile y en 1966 tomó los primeros cursos de astronomía impartidos por esta Casa de Estudios. Obtuvo el grado de Magister en 1975 y el de Doctor en 1979, ambos con mención en Astrofísica, conferidos por la Universidad de Toronto, Canadá.
En 1987 se le nombró profesor titular de la Universidad de Chile. En 1995 obtuvo una Cátedra Presidencial en Ciencias y entre 1997 y 2000 fue el Director del Departamento de Astronomía de la Facultad de Ciencias Físicas y Matemáticas. Es autor de numerosos trabajos de investigación publicados en revistas internacionales.
José Maza fue parte del grupo de investigadores del proyecto Calán – Tololo (junto a Mario Hamuy), investigación clave en el descubrimiento en 1988 de la aceleración del universo y de la existencia de una nueva componente de energía oscura que constituye el 70% de toda la energía del Universo. Este hecho fue la base para que Brian Schmidt y Saul Perlmutter ganaran el Premio Nobel de Física 2011.
El proyecto Calán – Tololo fue reconocido por la Real Academia de Ciencias de Suecia, como un “scientifc background” del Nobel de Física de ese año.
Sus áreas de investigación son las supernovas y la energía oscura y la telescopía robótica.
Sobre el Premio Nacional
El jurado que lo distinguió como Premio Nacional basó la decisón en su contribución al conocimiento de la velocidad de expansión del universo y a la determinación de la geometría del universo a gran escala, usando supernovas tipo 1a como indicadores de distancia.
Este reconocimiento premió además su destacada trayectoria como educador y divulgador de la astronomía en Chile.
Taken on my iPod on a train journey to Streatham Hill.
As they're not from a sophisticated digital camera with all the necessary care that involves or from an older film camera with the time that requires are these images worth less ?
I took quite a number - these are a selected foursome - using the random 'shake' technique to set the film and lens combination. Are they therefore devalued ?
I had to make the same thoughts and decisons as whenever I make a picture.
Let me know what you think.

"As architects we often work from scale models of our proposals, the usual path is IDEA-MODEL-OBJECT. We liked the idea of reversing this, OBJECT-MODEL-IDEA. As the IDEA is last in the sequence, we can post rationalise the decison to make a scale model, which is this description.
Consequently we have created a perfect paradigm for justification which we hope will be of unlimited use to artists and other creatives struggling to explain why they did what they did. Also we thought a little paddle would be cute.
FVMA is primarily an architects practice but we like to dabble in paddles and other things. FVMA are partners in Camp and Furnace and architects for Baltic Creative. "

Thanks to all those I pestered for or who proffered their opinions. All info was taken onboard, and sifted, weighed and considered.
No thanks whatsoever goto Jessops, who were bloody useless, (except on price!)
Now I just need to find some time to learn how to use it properly. (which may mean locking up/removing the Holga, LC-A, Lubitel et al - out of temptations reach?).

But help me decide.. how should i process this shot?
I've edited it 4 different ways, which do you like the best?
A nice example of a small twin-loophole pillbox on the River Wye. It is one of a pair, the second being across the river facing this one. They appear to protect what may have been an important railway crossing.
The pillbox is made from reinforced cast-concrete to the bullet-proof standard. There are only two loopholes, side by side, and facing south along the railway bridge. There is standing room only, but a generous firing shelf has been provided below the loopholes. This is a solid shelf to ground level, increasing the thickness of the lower front face of the pillbox to around 4 feet; and could be considered shell-proof.
After the initial frenzy of pillbox construction in 1940/1941 the decison was made to abandon the pillbox as a forom of permenant stop-line fortification and to adopt the more adaptable (and cheaper) field fortification. Pillboxes were to be authorised in special circumstances, but would be supported by a network of field defences. By 1941 it was also acknowledged that the original bullet-proof standard of pillbox would perform poorly against the heavier German weapons, and that specification was to be diminished. This pillbox, not built to a recognised standard, is likely to have been build
The state Capitol in Raleigh NC is the scene of Tea Party demonstration on Thursday, April 15, 2010. Over 2,000 people attended this peaceful demonstration. At first they were not allowed to carry the american flag on a pole, but Governor Bevery Purdue stepped in and reversed that decison and allowed demonstrators to display the american flag on poles. No one knew what law, rule or regulation banned the poles or who made the decision to ban demonstrators from displaying the american flag on a pole at this patriotic demonstration.
In the mid-80's, as the manufacturing industries started to be shipped out of the US to countries where labor and costs were cheaper for the owners of the companies, the drug industry moved into some parts of the city. The quality of life quickly deteriorated, and crime, violence and death invaded neighborhoods that were once safe and economically viable. One of the worst hit neighborhoods is in North Philadelphia and is called the Badlands. This is a short visual walk to show the impact of those bad, shortshighted decisons to ship those jobs overseas. Some the results of those decisons are on the walls of the buildings for everyone to see, even though the actual perpetrators, the white-collar politicians and economists, will never be charged.
wrong anime is that how i'm suppose to feel NEVER did geography I"M a middle of the road student..the middle way..oh you so Fucking GOOD aren't you ALAN jones and here's bristow with you degree shore boys PIGGS and teach checks..so does shipley tobey rudolph..and abbot becomes a road schollar under sleephead provison..and prossie just walk into open lecture hall so when they go to TAFE nighschool for teritary training JOB network and certifcate...they are more qulified than you to make such a decison

Time and Date, it rules us. We makes hell lot of decisons based on time and date. It has never stopped fascinated us. Centuries has gone by and our time craze rules us. We wake up on time, we do all our routine things on time (almost every one). The only time we break out of time is when we hang out with someone who you are fond of (I dont want to narrate some other times when you break out of time).
