Planetary Illumination, and Its effect on Climate Models of Earth-like Exomoons Duncan Forgan1,2 , Vergil Yotov1 1 2 SUPA, Institute for Astronomy ... Compared to an Earth-like planet, there are several extra sources and sinks of energy available to an Earth-like exomoon, including: Tidal Heating Planetary Illumination (thermal flux and reflected starlight) Eclipses of the star by the planet (acts as a sink) Circumstellar HZ - Zero Moon ...

... This year's eclipse is unique in duration. ... Although, at the present time, there are 6 solar observatories belonging to leading space agencies in orbit around the Earth, the eclipse of 22 July, 2009, will only be seen by two of them: the Russian CORONAS-PHOTON satellite equipped with TESIS telescopes and Japan's HINODE satellite fitted with an XRT space telescope. ... TESIS will be the first of the two devices (and the very first on Earth) to witness the solar eclipse. ...

... CONTACT . ... Planned space experiments promise a considerable increase in the detections and statistical knowledge arising especially from transit and astrometric measurements over the years 2005­15, with some hundreds of terrestrial-type planets expected from transit measurements, and many thousands of Jupiter-mass planets expected from astrometric measurements. ...
