Bright Supernova - Archives On these pages you will find references to Supernovae which have faded into oblivion. ... Finally, in 1999, when I took over the International Supernova Network's Latest Supernovae page I retitled the main page "Latest Supernovae", BUT, it's the "Latest Supernovae" page of the "Bright Supernovae" pages which are also sub-pages of ISN. ...

. Discovery returns to the Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3 where Raffaello, the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module, sits inside. The module, which contains trash and equipment removed from the International Space Station, will be removed from Discovery's payload bay and transferred to the Space Station Processing Facility.

The Cartwheel Galaxy . ... Credit Copyright: NASA, Hubble Space Telescope Explanation: The Cartwheel Galaxy shows a ring that is the result of a collision between a small and a large galaxy. ... When galaxies collide it is rare that any two stars actually collide. Gravity, however, causes density waves to move out through the galaxy which in turn triggers the formation of hot, bright young stars, producing the ring that we see in this picture. ...

... In order to describe the effect of distortion of the trajectory of an electromagnetic wave in atmosphere, it is needed to use the solution of the dispersion equation of moving medium electrodynamics for the spatial case of atmosphere motion. The solution of the dispersion relation for the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is valid for an atomic layer with a thickness on the order of a few wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation. ...

The revision of the MASS/DIMM star catalogue N. Shatsky, V. Kornilov March 16, 2008 Abstract The compilation of the (updated) version of the MASS (MASS/DIMM) device target catalogue is described. ... Then the list was cleaned according to following criteria: I. Remove stars too faint for a MASS device. ... Here the color equation of the Sternb erg device was taken: M AS S mag = V mag + 0.45 (B - V ); stars with M AS S mag > 3.2 were removed. ... This was made based on the GCVS4.2 catalogue data. ...

... After delivery of all engineering models and SRT test sets to LA main ASC activities were moved to LA as well. ... Special attention was paid to the problem of tests on the electromagnetic compatibility between service and scientific on-board payload. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... On Thursday, February 15th 2001 (and replayed on March 19), the Fox TV network aired a program called ``Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?'', hosted by X-Files actor Mitch Pileggi. ... Dust around the lander . ... However, it appeals to our common sense: when the sky is black here on Earth, we see stars. ... Bad: The program claims that when the top half of the lander took off from the Moon to bring the astronauts back into orbit, there was no flame from the rocket. ...

Next: The Gravimagnetic Parameter Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: Nomenclature . ... One can introduce two critical periods and such that their relationship with period p of a magnetic rotator specifies the rotator's type: . ... Instead of , we introduce the potential accretion luminosity L . ... Treating the rotator's magnetic dipole moment and as parameters, we find that an overwhelming majority of the magnetor's stages can be shown on a `` '' diagram (Lipunov 1982a[ 98 ]). ...

The classic solution for homogeneous sphere was suggested in 1899 by A.E.N. Love [ 330 ], in 1908 by G. Mie [ 342 ] and in 1909 by P. Debye [ 199 ]. ... Traditionally the theory of light scattering by a sphere is called the Mie theory. ... The exact solutions of the Mie problem for an optically active sphere (i.e. a sphere of optically active material [ 7 ]) and for a sphere with an optically active mantle were first obtained in 1974-5 by S. Bohren [ 158 , 159 ]. ...

. The same type of result with cells removed so that POs are visible better. This was obtained by averaging the hourly CO concentrations calculated for a year's length. All values for color codes shown at top are in milligrams per cubic meter - here and henceforth. То же самое с удалением ячеек, чтобы концентрации для территорий были лучше видны. Для среднечасовых концентраций CO, усредненных за год. Все значения для цветных кодов приведены в мг/м 3 - здесь и далее.
