... To move toward open analysis software, we plan to make the PROS regions subsystem available from processes outside of IRAF. We also plan to make the region descriptor parsing system available for purposes beyond the creation of masks, such as an interface to an image display program, accepting a region descriptor and generating commands to display the region on an image. ... Anticipating two kinds of new requirements, we reconsidered the design of the PROS region descriptor processing subsystem. ...

... Moon Phase below . ... ARTICLE: Why the moon always shows us the same face . ... Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ...
