Apollo Images
From: chrisl@lpl.arizona.edu (Chris Lewicki) Newsgroups: sci.space Date: 4 May 1994 00:31:49 GMT Organization: SEDSSome "new" images are available from the Apollo mission. The images are originally from the excellent historical section of WWW site at KSC. They are now available by FTP, WWW, Gopher (no ftpmail yet), and telnet at SEDS.LPL.Arizona.EDU.
If travelling by FTP, you will find them at /pub/images/apollo/apollo-XX
If travelling by gopher, you will find them through:
Menu Choice Number 1. "ANONYMOUS FTP"
Menu Choice Number 5. "images/"
and then Menu Choice Number 2. "apollo/"
If travelling through the Web, you can find them at: ftp://SEDS.LPL.Arizona.EDU/pub/images/apollo
If don't have access to any of these services, but can access a telnet account via modem, you can use SEDS' gopher or lynx clients by telnetting to SEDS.LPL.Arizona.EDU and then logging in as either "gopher" or "www." You may then follow the previous instructions and transfer the files via X/Y/Zmodem or Kermit.
The image descriptions are still being created, so use the 00Index.gif files that show all the images in the directory...
Enjoy!

Northwestern University Astronomy Group
April 7, 1994The Northwestern University Astronomy Group would like to announce its new WWW server. Contents include information on undergraduate studies and graduate studies, who we are, what we do, and our gallery of gamma-ray bursts as observed by the Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on board the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO).
The AstroWeb Consortium
April 7, 1994The AstroWeb Consortium would like to announce a new World Wide Web resource AstroWeb which contains links to Internet Resources of use to the Astronomy community. AstroWeb is available at: NRAO, CDS, MSSSO, ST-ECF, and STScI. It merges the resource listings which have been maintained at CDS, MSSSO, NRAO, STECF, and STScI. This merging of effort provides a more complete resource listing and eliminates the need to check several different listings. The AstroWeb database currently contains about 650 resource records, about 185 kilobytes of text. Each resource is categorized, e.g., Data and Archive Centers, Astronomy Departments, Space Agencies, ... Many resources have a paragraph describing the resource and containing links to other URLs. There is a searchable version of the merged resource listing. There are HTML forms by which new resources can be added and existing resources can be edited.
The Daily PlanetFrom: kemp@uiatma.atmos.uiuc.edu (John Kemp) Newsgroups: comp.infosystems.announce Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: The Daily Planet Date: 30 Mar 1994 15:16:05 GMT Organization: University of Illinois, Urbana-ChampaignThe Atmospheric Science Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is pleased to announce the official opening of its new WWW server, The Daily Planet.
The Daily Planet (TDP) is planned to be a full-scale Environmental Information Server. It is a logical extension to the work we originally started with the UofI Weather Machine. With the powerful and flexible functionality provided by HTML and the NCSA Mosaic interface, we hope to offer new and useful capabilities to the Atmospheric Sciences community.
Currently it features current weather information (see Weather World below), a collection of lists of other weather servers and sources of weather data, atmospheric sciences community info, local information about our department, plus a look at some online hypermedia instructional modules for atmospheric sciences under development.
Weather World, accessible from The Daily Planet menus, is our WWW version of the popular UofI Weather Machine. We're just getting started, but we've already got over 170 current images, 600 archived images and 60 MPEG animations...many updated hourly (twice daily for some products) that include current satellite imagery, surface maps, upper air maps and plots, and forecast maps with the text products currently found in the Weather Machine gopher server available soon also. To get to Weather World, start with The Daily Planet, take a right at "Weather Data" and then pick "Weather World."

High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research CenterFrom: oneel@athena.gsfc.nasa.gov (Bruce O'Neel) Newsgroups: comp.infosystems.announce Subject: Reannouncing the HEASARC Gopher & WWW servers (NASA/Goddard) Date: 21 Mar 94 12:15:02This is a reannouncement of the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center gopher at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. We had announced it previously but have moved it and hopefully made it work much better. In the mean time we've learned a few things about serving a gopher tree of 200000 files, 6000 directories, 18 gig of data spread accross 6 machines on both hard disks as well as optical jukeboxes. We archive XRAY and Gamma Ray astrophysics data and produce tools to analyze this data.
Please write if there are any problems.
From: richmond@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov (Alan Richmond) Date: 28 Feb 1994 17:05:39 +0100 Newsgroups: comp.archives [comp.infosystems.www]The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center, HEASARC, at NASA/GSFC can be accessed through the WWW. The HEASARC server allows access to a vast selection of data from X-ray and Gamma-ray astronomy missions including ROSAT, ASCA, Compton GRO, Einstein and EXOSAT. There is a beta release astronomical forms interface to the HEASARC database management system, which allows browsing of various astronomical catalogs and archival datafiles. Best results can be obtained by following the configuration instructions , and by using NCSA's Mosaic for X, for forms support.
University of Alabama Astronomy GroupFrom: keel@hera.astr.ua.edu (Bill Keel) Date: 10 Jan 1994 14:42:34 +0100 Newsgroups: comp.archives [sci.astro]Announcing the formal debut of the University of Alabama Astronomy Group ftp/World-Wide Web site: crux.astr.ua.edu.
So far, the best access is via WWW browser such as Mosaic. Largely through the efforts of Debe Crocker and Ray White, we have a linked version of the annual report, information on our graduate program (including an electronic information request form), and information on our Research Experience for Undergraduares (REU) program (again, I believe, including an electronic form). I have put a few of my greatest-hits CCD images as color or B/W GIF files as well to get things started. More to come...
