... Up: Software Systems and Tools . ... This case study examines the use of the latest software techniques for merging independent Java applets and applications. STScI's new Java interface to the archive, StarView II, will make use of the ST-ECF stand-alone FITS image viewer JIPA. We discuss how state-of-the-art software techniques like Remote Method Invocation (RMI), multithreading, and the Reflection API influence the design of a common interface between StarView II and JIPA. ...

... the time of observation . ... Observing the Changing Position of the Sun To Establish Cardinal Directions . ... Observations of the Sun's apparent movement across the sky and its pattern of rising and setting in the east and west horizon helped to establish the cardinal directions. ... The final stage of the Sun's return was marked by the observation that the Sun had reached its highest altitude when the full width of your mitted hand could fill the gap between the Sun and the horizon. ...

While long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) result from the collapse of massive stars, the progenitors of short-duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are still unknown. Although SGRBs are widely thought to result from the in-spiral of compact binaries, this is a conjecture. ...

... Observers looking at an object that is moving away from them see light that has a longer wavelength than it had when it was emitted (a redshift), while observers looking at an approaching source see light that is shifted to shorter wavelength (a blueshift). ... By measuring the amount of the shift to the red, we can determine that the bright galaxy is moving away at 3,000 km/sec, which is 1 percent of the speed of light, because its lines are shifted in wavelength by 1 percent to the red. ...
