... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Here's a question for you: if you were to place the Moon randomly anywhere in the sky, on average, how many stars would it cover up? ... We found that the sky is about 40,000 square degrees . ... The area of a circle is pi * radius^2, so the Moon's area is pi * (1/4)^2=0.2 square degrees. So the number of stars in an area the size of the Moon is 0.15 stars/square degree * 0.2 square degrees=0.03 stars per Moon area. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

The Refractive Index Distributions (RID) in GRIN lens preforms are made by multi-stage optimized ion-exchange diffusion between silicate mineral glasses and salt melts. ... In the LAG lenses - L ow A perture GRIN the nature of the changing of refractive index in glass via ion-exchange lies mainly in molecular volume increase. ...

... Planets . ... Stars . Exoplanets . ... Most exoplanets so far discovered fall into the category of тАШhot JupitersтАЩ, these are giant planets orbiting very close to their parent star. ... Note that we have discovered so many hot Jupiters because they are the easiest type of planet to find, they are not necessarily particularly common in the galaxy. ... Subsequently several similar hot and€а fuzzy worlds have been discovered the same way, proving this that this planet is not a one-off oddball. ...

... Four types of galaxy environments are considered: clusters, centers of groups, other places in groups, and the field. ... In order to check whether the mean ages of the stellar populations depend on environment density monotonically, as the hierarchical par­ adigm predicts, in this work I consider four types of environment separately: the cluster galaxies, the brightest (central ) galaxies of groups, the second­ranked group members, and the field galaxies. ...
