AstroWeb: Astronomy-related Newsgroups

Archive of Starlink Newsgroups

An archive of the Starlink newsgroups, in the uk.org.starlink hierarchy, is kept in Cambridge. This gives read access to the newsgroups to interested parties who do not have the newsgroups on their local news server. The articles in the archive are sorted by subject to make following threads easier.

sci.astro.fits (an unmoderated newsgroup)

which provides a forum for the discussion of all topics concerning the FITS [Flexible Image Transport System] data format. It is interfaced to the Email exploder fitsbits@fits.cv.nrao.edu (send requests to fitsbits-request@nrao.edu) so that traffic originating on either the newsgroup on the exploder is automatically transmitted to the other. This newsgroup replaced newsgroup alt.sci.astro.fits in March 1992.

sci.astro.hubble (a moderated newsgroup concerned with the Hubble Space Telescope)

This newsgroup is intended to complement the substantial efforts of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, where support of the many users of the facility originates. The group will serve as a platform for problems, requests, suggestions and needs of the scientific community as they use the Telescope to further their research. Accordingly input from the Institute to the discussions will be vital, and several members of that facility have indicated their interest and willingness to participate fully.
There is an Archive for the newsgroup. This archive is intended for materials pertinent to the discussions in the newsgroup sci.astro.hubble, part of the USENET news structure. Valid items for placement here are large datasets, public domain software (in compressed tarfile form), imagery (GIF preferred) and Postscript renderings of relevant papers on the topic of data processing in connection with Space Telescope. - README .
The archive contains a form which executes WAIS searches on the archive.

sci.data.formats (an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup)

for discussing the modeling, storage, and retrieval of scientific data. The purpose of the newsgroup is to facilitate discussing use of scientific data formats such as HDF, netCDF, FITS, and various others. Topics of discussion could include problems encountered using specific formats, questions about where to get the code for data format programs, discussions of specific uses of data format programs, etc. Readers of the group are typically scientists (and software developers) who use data formats/models such as HDF, netCDF, and other such programs.
