First sight of alien planets
03/23/2005 08:36 PMDavid Pescovitz:
Astronomers used the
NASA Spitzer Space Telescope to see planets outside our
solar system for the first time ever. Previously, scientists have
inferred the existence of more than 100 planets by detecting a
gravity-induced wobble or shift in light in the stars that they orbit.
Yesterday, the astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics and the Goddard Space Flight Center announced that they
directly observed the infrared radiation emitted by two planets 153
and 500 light-years away. (Seen here is a NASA
artist's concept.) From the New York Times:
They said directly measuring light from the planets was a major step
in the quest to understand what alien planets are made of, because
different molecules in the atmosphere absorb infrared light in
characteristic ways and allow scientists to compare these alien
planets to those in the solar system. Ultimately, astronomers would
like to know if Earth, with its ability to evolve and support life, is
unique or common in the universe....
Dr. Geoffrey W. Marcy, a planet hunter at the University of
California, Berkeley, called the results "the stuff of history books"
and added, "With this result, we are closer to understanding our own
human roots, chemically, among the stars."

The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798
The Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798
12/19/2004 03:40 PMLots of interesting comments and questions. Let me go back to the
beginning, to a time less than a decade after the United States
adopted our Constitution. In 1798, there was a bitter political
division in the young nation between the Federalists (led by John
Adams and Alexander Hamilton) and the Republican (led by Thomas
Jefferson and James Madison). In the elections of 1796, the
Federalists had retained control of both houses of Congress and Adams
had defeated Jefferson by a scant three electoral votes. It's
important to understand that at this time in history Americans were
deeply uncertain about the nation's future. Would democracy work?
There was no good precedent. It was truly an experiment, and no one
was sure the nation wouldn't simply fall apart. The Federalists
represented the propertied class. They were very concerned about
stability and security, and were very anxious about the passions and
irresponsibility of the common man. The Republicans exalted liberty
over security and were deeply suspicious of the Federalists.
At this time, a war raged in Europe between England and France. The
United States tried to maintain its neutrality so it could both avoid
war and continue to engage in commerce with both all sides. But in
1798 the United States entered into a treaty with England that
infuriated the French. Adams put the nation on war footing. The
Federalists gave him a larger army and a larger navy. We were on the
brink of declaring war. The Republicans were furious. They were much
more sympathetic to the French (who had overthrown their monarchy) and
much more hostile to the English (who were still ruled by a monarch).
It was in this context that the Federalists enacted the Alien and
Sedition Act.
The Alien Act empowered President Adams to arrest, detain, and deport
any non-citizen he found to be a danger to the security of the nation.
The individual was given no right to a hearing and no right to present
evidence in his defense. The Republicans objected that this was
unconstitutional; the Federalists responded that aliens had no rights
under the United States Constitution because they were not part of "We
the People." The Sedition Act effectively made it a crime for any
person to criticize the President, the Congress or the Government of
the United States. The Republicans vehemently object that the Act
violated the First Amendment; the Federalists argued that in time of
war it was essential to stifle criticism of the government because if
the People lost confidence in the government they would not make the
sacrifices war demands.
The Federalist prosecutors and judges used the Sedition Act
exclusively against Republicans, especially against Republican
congressmen and editors who criticized the President. Although the
Federalists argued that this legislation was necessary because the
nation was on the brink of war, the real reason the Federalists wanted
it was to silence Republican criticism and thus to ensure that Adams
would defeat Jefferson in the election of 1800.
The plan backfired. The American people rose up in protest against
these Act and elected Jefferson. This led to the demise of the
Federalist Party. Jefferson pardoned all those who had been convicted
under the Act. Fifty years later, Congress declared that the Sedition
Act of 1798 was unconstitutional, and the Supreme Court has never
since missed an opportunity to declare that the Act was
unconstitutional in the "court of history."
There are (at least) two lessons we can learn fro this episode: First,
clever politicians will often take advantage of a wartime atmosphere
to enact policies that will serve their partisan ends. Second, it will
often fall to the People themselves to protect their civil lliberties.
They cannot always rely on elected officials or judges to protect them
for them.
Do you think any of this is relevant to the present?
Alien Planets Tell Tales With Colors
Alien Planets Tell Tales With Colors
03/23/2005 07:57 PMTwo teams of Astronomers this week discovered the color of two
planets by using infrared radiation. This break-through will allow
experts to discover what the planet’s surface or
atmosphere are made of. This is a major finding. According to Astronomy Magazine,
Charbonneau's group used the Spitzer Space
Telescope's Infrared Array Camera to home in on the light from TrES-1,
a "hot Jupiter" zipping around a Sun-like star about 500 light-years
from Earth in the constellation Lyra. The astronomers tracked the
intensity of two infrared "colors" as the planet passed behind its
star, an event called secondary eclipse. The team subtracted the
star's radiation from the total seen when the planet was not eclipsed
by the star. Measuring the gas giant's infrared radiation allowed the
team to calculate its temperature — a sizzling 1,450° F
(1,060 kelvins). Charbonneau suspects his group has also found the
spectral fingerprint of carbon monoxide in the planet's atmosphere,
but, he says, "We're going to go back and get more data."
