... Plate bending . ... The plug-plates of SDSS project are responsible for locating the optical-fiber plugs spatially and for defining the plug tilt with respect to the surface of best focus. ... It can be seen from the graphs that after bending the plate and adding a central suport, the curvature of the plate was quite near that of the desired Kent005 curve. ... Upon adding a central support, however, the slope of the plate decreases to a value slightly less than that of the Kent005 curve. ...

. As you ascend the stairs next to the clubhouse, you get to see the observatory up close. We have an observing table lighted with red lights. Some of our extreme DSO's don't even want them on! . The black box looking thing on the observatory, just below the dome, is actually a speaker so we can pipe in music. Not shown in the picture to the left is the attic above the clubhouse.

These Dreams - Heart Spare a little candle Save some light for me Figures up ahead Moving in the trees White skin in linen Perfume on my wrist And the full moon that hangs over These dreams in the mist Darkness on the edge Shadows where I stand I search for the time On a watch with no hands I want to see you clearly Come closer than this But all I remember Are the dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live ...

The deflection of light induced by the Sun gravity field and measured with geodetic VLBI (1) Titov O., (2)Girdiuk A. (1) Geoscience Australia, Australia; (2) Institute of Applied Astronomy RAS, Russia The Sun's gravitational field deflects positions of close objects in accordance with the formulae of general relativity. ... The geodetic VLBI technique is capable to measure the deflection of the light from distant radio sources anytime and around the whole sky. ...

... The storm began quite unexpectedly. The strongest geomagnetic storm for the last seven months began on Earth almost precisely at the same time as the solar eclipse reached its maximal stage, the culmination of which occurred at GMT 02:35 (06:35 Moscow time). ... Oscillations of such amplitude in the magnetic field have not been observed since October, 11th of last year, which is more than seven months ago. ... We can only add that the magnetic storm lasted approximately 9 hours. ...

The Calendar of Bloody A.tecs. Living in Central Mexico from the XII century to the being of the XVI century warlike A.tecs devoted much time to sciences including astronomy. For needs of agriculture A.tecs, using the knowledge received from the forecomers, developed the exact calendar system. 52 years of the moon-and-the sun cycle formed the basis of it (something like our conception of "a century"). ... A.tecs year was divided into 18 months with 20 days each. ... Mesopotamian astronomy. ...
