Things you won't find in space
I created the LookUP service to make it easy to find specific astronomical objects. It won't find everything though.
One of the reasons an object isn't found is because the user didn't spell it correctly. To help with that, I've added a 'Did you mean?' option that will learn from successful searches and use those to suggest what you might have meant. This should improve over time. Another reason that a search fails is because the input wasn't something astronomical. Some recent examples include: books, coffee, Jesus, Freemasons, fish food, local news, God, and movies. None of these things were found in an astronomical context. Interestingly, these have all come from people using the iPhone application version.

Bangladesh Astronomical Association has arranged an observation camp at Tentulia to observe the last Total Solar Eclipse of this century (from Bangladesh) on 22nd July, 2009.
Bangladesh Astronomical Association is working on astronomical event for last 21 years. Through these years, besides Space-Fest, Lab for Children, Astro-Olympiad, Sun-Festival we have arranged weekly sky-observation camp, yearly astronomy workshop, Bruno award and various types of competition (in school and college levels). We are regularly publishing our tri-monthly publication âœMohakash Bartaâ, the first and only magazine about astronomy. Besides this, weâ™ve published books like Tara-Porichiti (), Prachin Jotirbiddya (about mythology on various part of the world), Akash Pot, Bangladesh-r Jotir Bigyani-ra (about atro-scientist of Bangladesh), Goniter Moja (about the fun on Mathematics) etc.
Tentulia is the best possible place for this observation. Tentulia (Tetulia) is located at Panchagar district which is the most north-west part of Bangladesh. This Total Solar Eclipse will happen for 3 minutes and 59 seconds (3:59 min) and the total eclipse will happen for two (2) hours.
Scientists, science organizers, artists, singers, photographers, journalists, students and people from various professions will participate in this observation camp. This team will start from Dhaka on 20th July.
It will be our pleasure if you join this team. You and your friends & family are co-coordinately invited to join this team.
