Ausstellung "125 Jahre Astronomie in Potsdam"
----------------------------------------------
Aus Anlass des 125. Jubilaeums der Gruendung des Astrophysikalischen
Observatoriums Potsdam (AOP) auf dem Telegrafenberg am 1.7.1874
praesentiert die "Galerie des Universums" in Potsdam eine Ausstellung mit
dem Titel "125 Jahre Astronomie in Potsdam", die die Bedeutung der
Potsdamer Forschungen auf dem Gebiet der Astronomie und Astrophysik
deutlich machen soll.
Wissenschaftliche Forschung hat immer auch einen historischen Bezug. Das
gilt ebenso fuer die astronomische und astrophysikalische Forschung, die
eine lange Verbindung zur Kulturentwicklung der Menschheit aufweist.
Deshalb lassen sich die Arbeiten in einer bestimmten Epoche und an einem
Ort in gesellschaftliche Zusammenhaenge einordnen. So kann die Bedeutung
dieser Arbeiten besser verstanden werden.
Deshalb waehlt die Ausstellung fuer die Darstellung der Potsdamer
Astronomie den Weg der Einordnung in die Entwicklung eines
Gesamtweltbildes vom Kosmos.
Nach einer Einfuehrung:
- Allgemeine Information ueber Gruendung, Zielstellung und Arbeitsgebiete
des AOP unter Einbeziehung einer Praesentation von in Potsdam taetigen
Astronomen mit einschlaegigen Kurzinformationen
vermittelt die Exposition grundlegende Informationen zu den Themen
- Sonnensystem
- Sterne und unsere Galaxis
- Galaxien und Galaxienhaufen bzw. grossraeumige Strukturen
- Entwicklung des Weltbildes und Kosmologie
In diesem Kontext wird verwiesen auf die Beitraege der Potsdamer Astronomie
- darunter auch bisher kaum bekannte und noch zu wenig gewuerdigte - zum
breitgefaecherten Spektrum der Astrophysik sowie auf die wissenschaftliche
Bedeutung der hier geleisteten Forschung.
Die Ausstellung ist vom 2. Juli bis zum 19. September 1999 in den Raeumen
des Museumshauses in der Hermann-Elflein-Str. 3, 14467 Potsdam, zu sehen.
(geoeffnet Di - So von 10.00 - 17.00 Uhr, sowie jeden ersten Montag im
Monat).

Exhibitions in Britain for the 1999 Total Eclipse
-------------------------------------------------
By Peter D. Hingley, London
Are you visiting Britain / the West Country / the Channel Islands around
the time of the Solar Eclipse on 1999 August 11? If so you may like to
visit one or more of the following exhibitions which have been put on to
coincide with it. All the exhibitions listed contain some material from
the RAS collections and I have described this, but of course they all
include much material from other sources. If contacting any of the Museums
you may like to mention this message. If anyone is producing TV, Radio or
Press coverage of the Eclipse, I am sure the museums in question would be
very pleased to have a mention to give publicity for their exhibitions. I
can provide personal contact details at any of the Museums on request, but
thought it better not to put these in a general message.
TRURO
The Royal Cornwall Museum has mounted an exhibition `The Story of
Astronomy in Cornwall', which opened on 10th July. The opening was
attended by Professor Tony Hewish, himself born in Fowey, and the
exhibition features various aspects of astronomy and of eclipses, the
discovery of Pulsars, and the work of other Cornish-born astronomers such
as Edwin Dunkin and John Couch Adams. The RAS Library has lent various
rare book and archive material, notably the manuscript Autobiography of
Edwin Dunkin, an edition of which is to be published by the Royal
Institution of Cornwall during the run of the exhibition. The exhibition
is open from 10am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, until 11th September, and the
charge for admission to the Museum is pounds 2.50 (with concessions). For
further information please telephone the Museum (01872 272205).
GUERNSEY
The Guernsey Museum and Art Gallery in Candie Gardens, St Peter Port, has
an exhibition `Eclipse 99', which was opened on 17th June by Dr Patrick
Moore. The exhibition covers both the history of astronomy and of eclipse
observation, and includes much modern information on the Sun, including
interactive computer displays. The display also includes a piece of Moon
rock lent by NASA, and outside the Gallery a coelostat projects a real-
time image of the Sun when the latter is visible. (It usually is in
Guernsey). The RAS Library has supplied various images for the exhibition
and loaned a watercolour of an Eclipse in 1870 by the Guernsey born artist
P J Naftel. The exhibition also features prominently the work of the
pioneer astrophotographer Warren de la Rue, born in Guernsey in 1815. The
exhibition is open daily until 26th September 1999, and admission to the
Museum costs pounds 2.50 for adults, 1.25 for senior citizens, children and
students free. For further information please telephone the Museum (01481
726518).
PLYMOUTH
The City of Plymouth Museum and Art Gallery's exhibition `The Dark Side of
the Sun', opened on 8th May. It covers a wide range of the history of
Astronomy and of navigation, as well as `just' eclipses. A considerable
number of significant books and artefacts, not normally on public display,
have been lent from the RAS collection, including the first editions of
Newton's `Principia' and of Copernicus' `De Revolutionibus', Flamsteed's
`Atlas Coelestis', and various other rare books, and several instruments
including a sextant said to have been used by Captain Cook. The exhibition
has received support from the University of Plymouth, European Space
Agency, PPARC, and Orchid Technologies, as well as the RAS. It runs until
23 October and the Museum is open Tuesday to Saturday, and Bank Holiday
Mondays, 10.00 - 17.00. Admission is free. For further infomation please
telephone the Museum (01752 304774).
ST IVES
The Tate Gallery, St. Ives, has mounted an exhibition entitled `As Dark as
Light', mainly of contemporary works of art by Yuko Shiraishi, Gia
Edzveradze, and Garry Fabian Miller. There are also relevant works by
Turner and Whistler. There is a small section of older material and items
lent by the RAS include diagrams and drawings of eclipses, one of Halley's
eclipse maps, and, notably, an album of original photographs of the 1860
eclipse expedition to Spain, probably collected by Warren de la Rue, which
contains both the first concerted attempts at eclipse photography and what
are probably the earliest photos of the participants in an eclipse
expedition. The exhibition is open on Tuesdays to Sundays (and Mondays,
including Bank Holiday Mondays, in July and August) from 10.30 to 17.30 ,
and runs until 30th October. There is a charge for admission, but the Tate
Gallery has asked me not to specify how much it is. For further
information please telephone the Gallery (01736 796226).
There are also two exhibitions outside the area of totality:
LONDON
The Science Museum, South Kensington, has an exhibition `Eclipse99' which
includes artefacts and images on the theme of eclipse observation over the
centuries. Further information can be found on their Web site
http://www.nmsi.ac.uk.
LIVERPOOL
The Liverpool Museum, William Brown St., Liverpool has a small exhibition
of photographs and other material; mainly of current eclipse information
but including some interesting ephemera relating to the 1927 Total Eclipse.
The Museum is open daily, 10 am (Sundays 12) to 5 pm. The charge for
admission is pounds 3.50 but this gives admission to eight museums for a
whole year!

A small exhibition focusing on astrological concepts in Islam, especially
the zodiac, constellations, planets and lunar mansions, has just be opened
in the Islamic galleries of the British Museum. Stunning objects of every
day life with astrological iconography have been displayed next to coins,
manuscripts and scientific instruments, including the two Abd al-Karim
astrolabes, here shown together for the first time.
"Heavenly Houses", British Museum, London, gallery 34, until
3 October 1999.
Information: Silke Ackermann, British Museum MLA, Great Russell Street,
London WC1B 3DG, e-mail: sackermann@British-museum.ac.uk
The special exhibition "Eclipse! The history of eclipse watching to the
present day" in the Science Museum, London, uses telescopes,
spectroscopes, orreries and other scientific instruments to explain solar
eclipses and how they have been viewed past and present. The centrepoint
of the display is the Kew Photoheliograph, used in northern Spain at the
1860 eclipse to show that prominences were part of the Sun.
6 May - 3 September 1999, open daily from 10.00 to 18.00
URL: http://www.nmsi.ac.uk/eclipse/exhibition/museum.html
The exhibition "Cosmos: From Romanticism to the Avant-garde, 1801 to
2001", presented by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts from June 17 to
October 17, 1999, deals with the theme of infinity as expressed by the
human imagination. Cosmos reveals its discoveries chronologically, from
Romanticism's contemplation of the Moon to NASA's breathtaking photos of
Earth taken from beyond the Moon. It is not so much a checklist of
scientific discoveries and the conquest of the space as it is an attempt
to explore the ever-expanding visual frontiers that artists bring within
the grasp of our senses through their visionary creations.
