George Van Biesbroeck
George A. Van Biesbroeck (or Georges-Achille Van Biesbroeck, January 21, 1880 – February 23, 1974) was a Belgian–American astronomer. He worked at observatories in Belgium, Germany and the United States. He specialized in the observation of double stars, asteroids and comets. He is notable for his long career as an observational astronomer.
Life
He was born in Ghent, Belgium on January 21, 1880 to a family of artists. At his father's request he pursued, and in 1902, he received, the 1st degree of Civil Engineering Construction and began work as a civil engineer for the Brussels Department of Roads and Bridges. But his true vocation is not there, it was astronomy, and while performing his official duties as a civil engineer he joined volunteers at the Uccle Observatory. In 1904 he left civil engineering behind and joined the staff at the Royal Observatory of Belgium at Uccle.
He then enrolled at Ghent University and obtained a degree in theoretical astronomy. He worked at the Heidelberg Observatory, then at the Potsdam Observatory under the direction of Max Wolf, Karl Schwarzschild and others.

1781 Van Biesbroeck
1781 Van Biesbroeck, provisional designation A906 UB, is an asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 17 October 1906 by German astronomer August Kopff at Heidelberg Observatory in southern Germany.
The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.1–2.7 AU once every 3 years and 9 months (1,355 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.11 and is tilted by 7 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. Little is known about the asteroids size, composition, albedo and rotation, despite having a well-observed orbit with the lowest possible uncertainty (a condition code of 0) and an observation arc that spans over a period of more than a century. In addition, it is unknown whether the member of the Vesta family of asteroids is in fact a V/J-type, or if it is an unrelated interloper, as currently assumed to be more likely.
The minor planet was named after renowned Belgian–born observational astronomer George Van Biesbroeck, who naturalized as U.S. citizens in 1922. He specialized in the observation of double stars, variable stars, comets and asteroids, of which he discovered sixteen at the U.S. Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, between 1922 and 1939. In 1961 he published the Van Biesbroeck's star catalog of low-mass, low-luminosity stars. The mountain Van Biesbroeck near the McDonald Observatory, the lunar crater Van Biesbroeck, and most notably the red dwarf Van Biesbroeck's Star, were also named in his honour. There are very few stars stars named after people. The George Van Biesbroeck Prize, awarded by the American Astronomical Society for achievements in astronomy, also bears his name.

Van Biesbroeck (crater)
Van Biesbroeck is a small lunar impact crater that interrupts the southern rim of the lava-flooded crater Krieger, in the Oceanus Procellarum. The crater is circular and symmetrical, with sloping inner walls that run down to a small interior floor. Van Biesbroeck was designated Krieger B before the IAU gave it a unique name.

A conversation with the editors of The Sky is for Everyone: Women Astronomers in Their Own Words
About this event Virginia Trimble and David Weintraub will discuss their book The Sky Is for Everyone, which is a collection of autobiographical essays by women from twenty different countries who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. Before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry. Well into the 20th century, the intellectual skills of women astronomers were often still not enough to enable them to pry open the doors of opportunity. Today, women are closer to "holding up half the sky" than ever before, though probably with some territory still to be claimed. Trimble and Weintraub will describe their work in bringing together these stories and mention some of the highlights readers can look for in the bo...

Dr. Virginia Trimble - "The Impact of World War I on the Sciences"
On Thursday, October 3, 2019, Dr. Virginia Trimble presented "The Impact of World War I on the Sciences" as part of the Lyne Starling Trimble Science Heritage Public Lectures at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California. Abstract: World War II has been called the physicists' war - meaning radar, rockets, and the first fission bombs - and World War I the chemists' war - and you may well think of poison gases. In fact, of course, both wars made enormous changes across the entire face of science and society. I've picked "The Great War" to talk about partly because Andrew Gemant served in it (as a medical student, for Austria-Hungary), partly because of the recently-passed centenaries of the war and of general relativity, and also because no one now living remembers. In addition to poison gases, the ...

Megan Urry: Black Holes, Galaxies, and the Evolution of the Universe
Dr. Urry is an American astronomer, whose research interests focus on active galaxies, hosting accreting supermassive black holes in their centers. She is known worldwide for proposing a unified model to describe radio-loud AGNs in 1995, a milestone on the road to their understanding. She is also known for her research on blazars and the physics and properties of their relativistic jets. Her group, together with collaborators all around the world, makes use of both ground- and space-based instruments to conduct multi-wavelength surveys, measure line widths to derive black-hole masses, and analyze the dominant radiation components. The interpretation of the results leads to the development of models for the evolution of black-hole growth over cosmic time, also with the aid of machine learni...

Jules van Biesbroeck: A collection of 35 paintings (HD)
Description: "He was the son of Jules Evariste van Biesbroeck, a painter of Ghent, but was born in Italy, in Portici, near Naples, while his parents were staying there. (In the 19th century many artists made educational trips to Italy). It was a long visit: the child was two years old by the time the family returned to Ghent.
After a short period of practice with his father, van Biesbroeck was enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. His first painting, "The Shepherd" (French: Le pâtre), was sold at the Triennale in Ghent. In 1888, when he was only 15 years old, he made his debut at the "Salon des Champs-Elysées" in Paris with his monumental work "The Launch of the Argo" (French: Le lancement d'Argo). The very large canvas, 7.5 by 2.6 meters, caused quite a stir because of the nakedness of his figures. When van Biesbroeck was called to Paris, his youth amazed viewers; to everyone's surprise, he obtained a "special mention". However, in order to exhibit the picture publicly, the figures had to be covered with drapery.
In 1895 he began to devote himself to sculpture and his talent was rewarded by various commissions, including a monument to François Laurent for a square in Ghent and another in honour of Jean Volders. In 1897 he came second in the Belgian "Prix de Rome" for sculpture after Henri Boncquet and in 1898 he came second in the section devoted to painting.
When German troops invaded Belgium during World War I, he fled Ghent and went to Bordighera in Italy where he continued to paint and sculpt. He also gave art lessons to foreign residents of the town. In Italy his painting “Deposition" is on display in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Bordighera.
In 1926 he made a trip to North Africa, where he was charmed by Algeria. The light and atmosphere of Maghreb pushed him to use lighter colours and engage with oriental subjects. Algiers had such an influence on him that he lived there for nine years until 1938. His studio, called "La Volière”, became extremely well-known throughout the city.
In 1938 he returned to Ghent where he remained till his death in 1965."

She was the author of the Bright Star Catalogue, a compendium of information on the 9,110 brightest stars in the sky; she also co-authored The General Catalogue of Trigonometric Stellar Parallaxes, containing precise distance measurements to 8,112 stars, information critical to understanding the kinematics of the Milky Way galaxy and the evolution of the solar neighborhood. With Harlan J. Smith, Hoffleit discovered the optical variability of the first-discovered quasar 3C 273.
In 1988, Hoffleit was awarded the George Van Biesbroeck Prize by the American Astronomical Society for a lifetime of service to astronomy. She turned 100 on March 12, 2007, and died a month later

On Thursday, October 3, 2019, Dr. Virginia Trimble presented "The Impact of World War I on the Sciences" as part of the Lyne Starling Trimble Science Heritage Public Lectures at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California.
Abstract:
World War II has been called the physicists' war - meaning radar, rockets, and the first fission bombs - and World War I the chemists' war - and you may well think of poison gases. In fact, of course, both wars made enormous changes across the entire face of science and society. I've picked "The Great War" to talk about partly because Andrew Gemant served in it (as a medical student, for Austria-Hungary), partly because of the recently-passed centenaries of the war and of general relativity, and also because no one now living remembers. In addition to poison gases, the German chemical community produced massive amounts of fertilizer via the Haber-Bosch process (which still feeds 60% or so of the world's population), new explosives, and the first detergents not requiring animal fat or vegetable oil. Stainless steel, duraluminum, and pyrex glass were new inventions. Medicine and dentistry learned new ways of transfusing blood, imaging injuries, fitting protheses, and repairing damaged faces. Damaged minds, then called shell shock, now post-traumatic stress disorder, were a much greater challenge, handled differently among the various combatant nations. Other items turn up in cryptography, geology, IQ testing, and pretty much anything you wonder about. Women went into labs and factories, onto the land, and in some cases out to the front lines, and came back with stronger desire (and arguably a stronger case) for voting rights. The nine million or more who died included poets, composers, artists, and, most likely to be remembered by scientists, Karl Schwarzschild (who worked out the first solution to the Einstein field equations while already in uniform) and Henry Moseley (who was in the process of sorting out the periodic table via X-ray scattering). Both were volunteers. Because I've been teaching the subject for four years, the accumulated images and examples overflow an office, let alone a 50-minute hour, but I'll try to pick out something you already know about, and something you don't.
Speaker Biography:

Dr. Urry is an American astronomer, whose research interests focus on active galaxies, hosting accreting supermassive black holes in their centers. She is known worldwide for proposing a unified model to describe radio-loud AGNs in 1995, a milestone on the road to their understanding. She is also known for her research on blazars and the physics and properties of their relativistic jets. Her group, together with collaborators all around the world, makes use of both ground- and space-based instruments to conduct multi-wavelength surveys, measure line widths to derive black-hole masses, and analyze the dominant radiation components. The interpretation of the results leads to the development of models for the evolution of black-hole growth over cosmic time, also with the aid of machine learning techniques. Throughout her career, she was awarded several prizes for her scientific activity, including the Annie Jump Cannon and George van Biesbroeck prize from the American Astronomical Society, and the Howard R. Lamar award from Yale University. She also stands out for her efforts to make science accessible to women and minorities.

Jules van Biesbroeck: A collection of 35 paintings (HD)
Description: "He was the son of Jules Evariste van Biesbroeck, a painter of Ghent, but was born in Italy, in Portici, near Naples, while his parents were staying there. (In the 19th century many artists made educational trips to Italy). It was a long visit: the child was two years old by the time the family returned to Ghent.
After a short period of practice with his father, van Biesbroeck was enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. His first painting, "The Shepherd" (French: Le pâtre), was sold at the Triennale in Ghent. In 1888, when he was only 15 years old, he made his debut at the "Salon des Champs-Elysées" in Paris with his monumental work "The Launch of the Argo" (French: Le lancement d'Argo). The very large canvas, 7.5 by 2.6 meters, caused quite a stir because of the nakedness of his figures. When van Biesbroeck was called to Paris, his youth amazed viewers; to everyone's surprise, he obtained a "special mention". However, in order to exhibit the picture publicly, the figures had to be covered with drapery.
In 1895 he began to devote himself to sculpture and his talent was rewarded by various commissions, including a monument to François Laurent for a square in Ghent and another in honour of Jean Volders. In 1897 he came second in the Belgian "Prix de Rome" for sculpture after Henri Boncquet and in 1898 he came second in the section devoted to painting.
When German troops invaded Belgium during World War I, he fled Ghent and went to Bordighera in Italy where he continued to paint and sculpt. He also gave art lessons to foreign residents of the town. In Italy his painting “Deposition" is on display in the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Bordighera.
In 1926 he made a trip to North Africa, where he was charmed by Algeria. The light and atmosphere of Maghreb pushed him to use lighter colours and engage with oriental subjects. Algiers had such an influence on him that he lived there for nine years until 1938. His studio, called "La Volière”, became extremely well-known throughout the city.
In 1938 he returned to Ghent where he remained till his death in 1965."

About this event
Virginia Trimble and David Weintraub will discuss their book The Sky Is for Everyone, which is a collection of autobiographical essays by women from twenty different countries who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. Before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry. Well into the 20th century, the intellectual skills of women astronomers were often still not enough to enable them to pry open the doors of opportunity. Today, women are closer to "holding up half the sky" than ever before, though probably with some territory still to be claimed. Trimble and Weintraub will describe their work in bringing together these stories and mention some of the highlights readers can look for in the book.
VIRGINIA TRIMBLE, now Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the University of California, Irvine, is interested in the structure and evolution of stars, galaxies, and the Universe and of the communities of scientists who study them. She is the only person to have been president of two IAU Divisions (Galaxies and the Universe, and Union-Wide Activities). She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Physical Society, a Legacy Fellow of the American Astronomical Society, an inaugural Fellow of Sigma Xi, and an Honorary Fellow of the RAS. She was awarded the J. Murray Luck Prize by the National Academy of Sciences in 1986, the Klopsteg Lectureship by the American Association of Physics Teachers in 2001, the George van Biesbroeck prize in 2010 and Patron status in 2018 by the American Astronomical Society,, the Wm. T. Olcott Distinguished Service Award by the AAVSO in 2018, the Andrew Gemant Award by the American Institute of Physics in 2019, and honorary membership in Sigma Pi Sigma. Her asteroid is 9271 Trimble.
DAVID WEINTRAUB is a Professor of Astronomy, of History, and of the Communication of Science and Technology at Vanderbilt University where he founded and directs the Communication of Science and Technology program and does research on the formation of stars and planets. He was awarded the Klopsteg Lectureship by the American Association of Physics Teachers in 2015. His previous books include Life on Mars: What to Know Before We Go (2018), Religions and Extraterrestrial Life: How Will We Deal With It? (2014), How Old is the Universe? (2010), and Is Pluto a Planet? (2006). He also created and edits the Who Me? series of scientific biographies for middle-school readers, including Who Me? I’m a Bioarchaeologist Now!, Who Me? I’m an Astronomer Now!, and Who Me? I’m a Biomedical Informatics Expert Now!

On Thursday, October 3, 2019, Dr. Virginia Trimble presented "The Impact of World War I on the Sciences" as part of the Lyne Starling Trimble Science Heritage Public Lectures at Cal Tech in Pasadena, California.
Abstract:
World War II has been called the physicists' war - meaning radar, rockets, and the first fission bombs - and World War I the chemists' war - and you may well think of poison gases. In fact, of course, both wars made enormous changes across the entire face of science and society. I've picked "The Great War" to talk about partly because Andrew Gemant served in it (as a medical student, for Austria-Hungary), partly because of the recently-passed centenaries of the war and of general relativity, and also because no one now living remembers. In addition to poison gases, the German chemical community produced massive amounts of fertilizer via the Haber-Bosch process (which still feeds 60% or so of the world's population), new explosives, and the first detergents not requiring animal fat or vegetable oil. Stainless steel, duraluminum, and pyrex glass were new inventions. Medicine and dentistry learned new ways of transfusing blood, imaging injuries, fitting protheses, and repairing damaged faces. Damaged minds, then called shell shock, now post-traumatic stress disorder, were a much greater challenge, handled differently among the various combatant nations. Other items turn up in cryptography, geology, IQ testing, and pretty much anything you wonder about. Women went into labs and factories, onto the land, and in some cases out to the front lines, and came back with stronger desire (and arguably a stronger case) for voting rights. The nine million or more who died included poets, composers, artists, and, most likely to be remembered by scientists, Karl Schwarzschild (who worked out the first solution to the Einstein field equations while already in uniform) and Henry Moseley (who was in the process of sorting out the periodic table via X-ray scattering). Both were volunteers. Because I've been teaching the subject for four years, the accumulated images and examples overflow an office, let alone a 50-minute hour, but I'll try to pick out something you already know about, and something you don't.

Dr. Urry is an American astronomer, whose research interests focus on active galaxies, hosting accreting supermassive black holes in their centers. She is known worldwide for proposing a unified model to describe radio-loud AGNs in 1995, a milestone on the road to their understanding. She is also known for her research on blazars and the physics and properties of their relativistic jets. Her group, together with collaborators all around the world, makes use of both ground- and space-based instruments to conduct multi-wavelength surveys, measure line widths to derive black-hole masses, and analyze the dominant radiation components. The interpretation of the results leads to the development of models for the evolution of black-hole growth over cosmic time, also with the aid of machine learning techniques. Throughout her career, she was awarded several prizes for her scientific activity, including the Annie Jump Cannon and George van Biesbroeck prize from the American Astronomical Society, and the Howard R. Lamar award from Yale University. She also stands out for her efforts to make science accessible to women and minorities.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Montage over het leven en werk van Jules Van Biesbroeck (1873-1965)
George Van Biesbroeck
George A. Van Biesbroeck (or Georges-Achille Van Biesbroeck, January 21, 1880 – February 23, 1974) was a Belgian–American astronomer. He worked at observatories in Belgium, Germany and the United States. He specialized in the observation of double stars, asteroids and comets. He is notable for his long career as an observational astronomer.
Life
He was born in Ghent, Belgium on January 21, 1880 to a family of artists. At his father's request he pursued, and in 1902, he received, the 1st degree of Civil Engineering Construction and began work as a civil engineer for the Brussels Department of Roads and Bridges. But his true vocation is not there, it was astronomy, and while performing his official duties as a civil engineer he joined volunteers at the Uccle Observatory. In 1904 he left civil engineering behind and joined the staff at the Royal Observatory of Belgium at Uccle.
He then enrolled at Ghent University and obtained a degree in theoretical astronomy. He worked at the Heidelberg Observatory, then at the Potsdam Observatory under the direction of Max Wolf, Karl Schwarzschild and others.
