Advice for stirring your online community and fostering engagement

When you enter into any new area of science, you almost always find

yourself with a baffling new language of technical terms to learn before you can converse with the experts. This is certainly true in astronomy both in terms of terms that refer to the cosmos and terms that describe the tools of the trade, the most prevalent being the telescope. So to get us off of first base, let’s define some of the key terms that pertain to telescopes to help you be able to talk to them more intelligently. The first area of specialization in telescopes has to do with the types of telescopes people use. The three designs of telescopes that most people use are the Refractor, the Reflector and the Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. The refractor telescope uses a convex lens to focus the light on the eyepiece. The reflector telescope has a concave lens which means it bends in. It uses mirrors to focus the image that you eventually see. The Schmidt Cassegrain telescope uses an involved system of mirrors to capture the image you want to see. A binocular telescope uses a set of telescopes mounted and synchronized so your view of the sky is 3-D. Beyond the basic types, other terms refer to parts of the telescope or to the science behind how telescopes work. Collimation is a term for how well tuned the telescope is to give you a good clear image of what you are looking at. You want your telescope to have good collimation so you are not getting a false image of the celestial body. Aperture is a fancy word for how big the lens of your telescope is. But it’s an important word because the aperture of the lens is the key to how powerful your telescope is. Magnification has nothing to do with it, its all in the aperture.

It is with both joy and a good little sadness that we announce that TC3 is transitioning into a new file format.

The content of TC3 shall get went, in the form of an anthology, to the
fresh OpenAccess reserve series „Translation and
Multilingual Pure Language Developing" (http://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/TMNLP, TMNLP) found at LangSci Press. The first newspaper internet site provides been shut and provides relocated to this momentary place down, at which the log functions experience been eliminated but the content material offers happened to be conserved. In the meantime, TMNLP offers acquired its really effective problem first of all, with about 1,500 downloading from numerous locations within the first two months after appearing; further more issues are usually already in the pipeline and will be to look this 12 months.

We likewise imagine that with our innovative format we can offer the area far better: on leading of edited databases, which possess happen to be the strength of TC3, we can now furthermore publish monographs (integrating dissertations). We happen to be hunting to different work forward!
