This CGI -script calculates a day of week of the given date, Julian date of Greenwich noon JD and extracts from the database indices of solar activity: Wolf number for the day W , monthly W m and yealy means W y of Wolf number for month and year of the date. The prediction of Wolf number (which was made in 1998 and, hence, lost actuality) is also presented. The database uses solar activity data got from server of National Geophysical Data Center . ...

... Bad Astronomy . Misconceptions . ... Bad Astronomy : "We're light years more advanced than our competition!" ... Even the closest astronomical object, the Moon, is 400,000 kilometers away! ... A beam of light will travel 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers in one year. This distance is defined as a light year ; the distance light travels in a year. ... This is another example of Bad Astronomy; like a light year, a parsec is a unit of distance, not time (to be specific, it equals 3.26 light years) . ...

... The tension in members of the telescope changes as we move the dome, ch, azimuth, and tiedown tensions. The lifetime of a beam is counted in the number of times the change in tension goes through a cycle. ... Examples of telescope motion with corresponding unbalanced moment. ... The number of cycles were computed for : 5000, 10000, 15000, 20000 kipFeet momemnt change. ... The number of cycles on the telescope was computed using the change in the unbalanced moment (at a corner). ... cycles . ...

... There are many pitfalls in these kind of comparisons, which are described in great detail in the papers I have used to compare my impact on the field. In the first comparison I use the method described by Pijpers (2006, Astronomy Geophysics, 47, 6.17) , where he compares the total normalized citation rate per paper (i.e., the number of citations of a paper divided by the number of authors) to the total number of papers for different authors in the field of space research. ... 1st year paper . ...
