On www.dangl.at you will find up to date informations about astronomy and spaceflight in more than 7.400 files. The contents of my web pages are measurement data, tables, text, images and videos with results from my astronomical work. The capture, processing and forwarding of scientifical data is the main part of my astronomical work. As an active member of the International Occultation Timing Association / European Section I stay in continuous contact with many astronomers in Europe and on all other continents around the globe. My astronomical work with a scientific background are, the detection of stellar occultations by asteroids and the Earth's moon, astrometry and photometry of asteroids, comets, and spacecrafts, follow-up astrometry of newly discovered near-Earth objects, video astrometry on fast moving asteroids, transit curves of exoplanets, mutual occultations and eclipses of planetary moons, detection of flare events of highly active stars, images of supernovae, meteor showers and a few other astronomical areas. I am pleased that more than 115,000 interested annual visitors from over 115 different countries and all continents are using the contents of my web pages. The amount and contents of this site will be currently expanded. So periodically visits should make sense. The Minor Planet 47494 with the naming "Gerhardangl" more details here ... For cogitation... The Hubble Space Telescope can record parts of the sky as small as the dot at the end of this sentence looks like. By now with todays technic more than 3,000 galaxies are visible in such a small sky area. There are much more than 100 billion galaxies in the current observable universe. And in every of these galaxies there are averaged again much more than 100 billion suns and much more planets...
