Stargate Atlantis - Screen Caps Season 4 Promo

YouTube has a video clip of the season four promo that aired during "Eureka" on July 17th available at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1BoKTbQ43c

And following are some screen caps from the 30 second promo:

SGA - Fourth Season Premieres Friday, September 28th

The SciFi Channel ran a 30 second sneak peek of SGA season four during an episode of "Eureka" (at approximately 9:43pm).

Fortunately, SciFi Channel ran a small banner about 15 seconds before the sneak peek began, so those watching with their VCR's ready could hit the record button.

The banner running during the sneak peak advertised that Season 4 premieres on Friday, September 28th at 9pm.

Shown during the sneak peek were some previously seen (brief) clips of Sam and another SGA person in Atlantis looking at someone/something; Teyla (laying down) on a gurney, screaming; Dr. Keller in Atlantis looking scared; Sheppard and Ronon running in Atlantis with weapons and aiming at someone/something; Ronon in a forest, looking up; McKay in Atlantis, laying down on something (possibly a gurney, looks like an IV stand in the background), looking scared towards something; and Sam, Sheppard and others in the Atlantis Gate receiving area.

There was a brief scene from a season four episode with Sheppard, McKay, Ronon and Dr. Weir inside a Jumper. (Weir, however, didn't speak during this scene, and sat to the right [camera left] of Sheppard.)

Sheppard (piloting): "Rodney? Ready?

Rodney (standing up in the rear, with a lot of cables dropping down from the ceiling): "Did I mention that this might not work? And that we could either drop out of hyperspace prematurely and end up stranded in the middle of deep space, or quite possibly be vaporized the moment I touch that..."

Ronon (sitting behind Sheppard, growls [you can see the bandage on Ronon's right shoulder from the wound he received in "First Strike"): "Just answer the damn question!"

Rodney (resigned): "Yeah, I'm ready."

Also -- David Nykl appears in next week's episode of Eureka, 'Unpredictable,' based on the commercial that ran for next week.

In this week's episode of Eureka, 'Try, Try Again,' (which had similarities to SGA's 'Hide 'N Seek'), Barclay Hope (SG1's Colonel Pendergast), Vincent Gale (SG1's Nightwalkers), and Don Thompson (SG1's Wormhole Xtreme and Stronghold and BSG) guest starred.

Stargate Atlantis - Sneak Peek during "Eureka" July 17th

Don't forget to tune into "Eureka" tonight (beginning at 9pm) on the SciFi Channel, for a sneak peek of SGA's Season Four!

Stargate SG-1: Air Force News: Video - Air Force in Hollywood

From the US Air Force:

http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123060828

Latest 'Today's Air Force' addresses modernization

7/16/2007 - SAN ANTONIO (AFNEWS) -- This week's edition of "Today's Air Force" highlights Air Force initiatives to modernize the force through the introduction of new aircraft and the retirement of designated older models like the F-117 Nighthawk, the world's first stealth aircraft.

And learn how Hollywood producers work to maintain a relationship with the Air Force. Nowhere is that relationship more evident than on the set of Stargate SG-1, and the newly released movie, Transformers. One of the ways Air Force officials build a strong relationship with Hollywood is by allowing movie directors to shoot on their bases.

Plus celebrate an Air Force Week at St Louis, Mo., where the service was highlighted during various events including an enlistment ceremony of 40 men and women at a Cardinals baseball game. St Louis is one of six cities selected to celebrate the Air Force's 60th anniversary. Each Air Force Week is designed to inform and educate the public about the important roles the Air Force plays in support of the nation's defense. Next stop . . . . New England! Stay tuned for dates.

The long-format, weekly news show tells Air Force stories in more depth. The program is made up of three segments and each runs approximately eight minutes. Although each can stand alone, they are related to form a seamless program.

"Today's Air Force" can be seen every day on The Pentagon Channel and via American Forces Radio and Television Service stations all around the world or subscribe to receive the Air Force feed via podcast at:

http://www.af.mil/library/podcast.asp.

Also, more than 100 cable-access stations air the program, which can be obtained either from a satellite feed or through a file-transfer protocol server. If you would like your local public access station to carry this program, send your request to: afnews.marketing@afnews.af.mil.

To submit a story idea for "Today's Air Force," or for any Air Force News products, send an e-mail to storyideas@afnews.af.mil.

AP: Astronomers seek aid for galactic census

From the Associated Press (via Yahoo News):

Astronomers seek aid for galactic census
By RAPHAEL G. SATTER, Associated Press Writer
Wed Jul 11, 5:35 PM ET

LONDON - Scientists want Internet users to help them sort through an unusual digital photo album: pictures of about 1 million galaxies. In a Web statement Wednesday, astronomers asked for volunteers to help classify the galaxies, identifying them as either elliptical or spiral, and noting, where possible, in which direction they rotate.

It would the largest galactic census ever compiled, something scientists say would provide new insight into the structure of the universe.

"We're in the golden era of astronomy," said Bob Nichol, an astronomer at the University of Portsmouth, in southern England, who helped develop the "Galaxy Zoo" Web site where the photographs are posted. "We have more data than we can assimilate, and we need help."

Astronomers say computer programs have been unable to reliably classify the star systems. Without volunteers, it would take researchers years to wade through the photographs, which were taken automatically by a massive digital camera mounted onto a telescope at the Apache Point Observatory near Sunspot, New Mexico, Nichol said. With 10,000 to 20,000 people working to classify the galaxies, the process could take as little as a month.

Volunteers would sign on to the Web site, complete a brief tutorial, and pick through one galaxy after another.

The galaxies would be identified by several people to guard against errors, and scientists would rule on galaxies whose shape or spin was disputed by volunteers.

The catalog would help researchers understand how galaxies interacted and the way in which they formed, Nichol said, explaining that scientists still knew very little about galaxies beyond the fact that some were spiral-shaped while others were elliptical.

"It's a bit of like knowing that there are men and women in the world, but not knowing where they come from or how they're different," he said.

If the volunteers' data showed that galaxies close to each other spun in the same direction, for example, it would suggest that they were formed at the same time from a common source, a potential challengeto the current understanding of how galaxies — and the structure of the universe — came to be.

"At some level, what we learn about these galaxies could tell us something quite fundamental about cosmology and particle physics,"Nichol said.

The project was inspired by similar projects at NASA, such as Stardust(at)home, which enlisted the help of thousands of volunteers to sift through grains of space dust gathered during a 2006 mission. Another such program, SETI(at)home, taps volunteers' computer power to help scientists detect extraterrestrial radio signals.

Galaxy Zoo was developed by researchers from the University of Portsmouth and the University of Oxford in England, and Johns Hopkins University in Maryland.
