Hipparchus (and possibly Aristarchus before him) also derived the Moon's distance from the duration of a lunar eclipse . Because the Earth casts a much larger shadow than the Moon, such an eclipse usually darkens the entire Moon, for several hours. ... If the Sun is assumed to be very distant, and if the Moon crosses the middle of the shadow (if not, corrections must be made), the width of the shadow is expected to be about 2r , twice the Earth's radius r . ...

... This review presents the results of Scenario Machine computations aimed at the population synthesis of different types of binary stars in our Galaxy and another galaxies. They demonstrate the ability of this method to make an important gross analysis of the modern scenarios for binary evolution, as well as to give interesting qualitative and quantitative predictions which can be checked observationally. ... The future development of the method can be considered from two different points of view. ...

... A light curve decomposition tool ( LFIT ) developed by Keith Horne and Tom Marsh and its application on HST-data of the eclipsing dwarf nova IP Peg will be presented. ... Our LFIT code decomposes time-resolved spectral data into N components with parameterized light curve shapes, solving for the spectra of each component. ... To apply this algorithm to the HST and UBVRI eclipses of IP Peg, we add an ellipsoidal light curve for the companion star, and a more detailed description of the bright spot. ...

... Observations of the Moon eclipse on 17.09.97 have shown the Moon details contrasts had decreased and the total radio brightness had fallen at all observed frequency range (from 10% at 1.38 sm down to 2.5% at 13 sm). The fall of the Moon radio brightness has been detected during the eclipse at decemeter waves for the first time. ...
