Introductory Astronomy Complete University Course - Space-Based Astronomy

Herein we learn about some of the more prominent space-based observatories, what they see, and how they do what they do. There were sudden copyright issues in the older version that needed to be amended. This is part of my intro Astronomy class taught at Willam Paterson University and CUNY Hunter. https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=103063 Balloon-based Astronomy https://www.osa-opn.org/home/articles/volume_26/november_2015/features/air-quality_monitoring_in_the_mid-infrared/ Infrared viewing through smog https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/messier-16-the-eagle-nebula Hubble's view of M16 https://www.spacetelescope.org/images/opo0019b/ Hubble's view of the Trapezium http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu Spitzer Space Telescope http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/images/3186-sig10-009-Dragon-s-Lair Spitzer's view of the Dragon's Lair https://www.jwst.nasa.gov James Webb Space Telescope http://www.galex.caltech.edu Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) https://www.nustar.caltech.edu Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) http://www.chandra.harvard.edu Chandra X-ray Observatory https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/cgro/index.html Compton Gamma Ray Observatory https://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11342 Fermi's Five-year View of the Gamma-ray Sky https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/integral/pom-generation?p_p_id=48_INSTANCE_cPRGXJw9FQjM&_48_INSTANCE_cPRGXJw9FQjM_iframe_yr=2017&_48_INSTANCE_cPRGXJw9FQjM_iframe_mon=11&_48_INSTANCE_cPRGXJw9FQjM_iframe_extn=jpg Gravitational Waves seen by Fermi and others https://exoplanets.nasa.gov/tess/ Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Music by Matthew Huffaker used by CCL4.0 http://www.youtube.com/user/teknoaxe 0:00 Introduction 2:51 Infrared Astronomy 7:08 NGC 7000 The North American Nebula 8:10 Dragon's Lair: Spitzer Space Telescope 13:16 JWST Launch/Deployment Timeline 17:28 Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) 21:17 X-Ray Astronomy: NuStar 23:02 X-Ray Astronomy: Chandra 25:56 Fermi five-year, all sky map 26:24 Gravitational Wave Pinpoint, 08/17/2017
