CACR’s support staff will be observing Institute holidays and special release days, Dec 25 to Jan 3. During the break, we’ll periodically check e-mail but primarily be watching for support issues of critical nature. Jan 4, we are back to full staff/regular support operations. Wishing you all a peaceful Holiday season!
Skyalert.org will be distributing Santa Sighting Events via Twitter and Facebook over 24 hours from the morning of Dec 24, 2009. Where in the universe will Santa be next?
The stream will be broadcast live at http://twitter.com/skyalert with the tag #SantaAlert, at http://skyalert.org/santa, and also through the Skyalert page on Facebook. Tell your friends!
SkyAlert collects and distributes reports of astronomical transients in near-real time. When looking deeply and frequently, the sky is full of explosions and movement. Examples of such transients include Supernovae, Cataclysmic Variables, Gamma-ray Bursts, and Blazar Eruption, and the discovery rate of such transients is increasing rapidly as new surveys come online. For further information about Skyalert visit http://www.skyalert.org.
