... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...

This diagram illustrates the effects of floating a box. A document window is shown, with 8 lines (numbered 1 to 8), each 24px high.

... It is possible to change the meaning of keywords (to `overload' them), but it can be confusing, primarily because your new commands may not behave the same way that this manual claims. ... If you said box in your macro, then overloaded the keyword, you'd have a macro that called itself. ... Another example is that (when overloaded) lines saves the line numbers used, so that you can write a macro to print the top 10 lines of a file (it's called head ). ...

...

Meteor Streams: the Relation to Hazardous Celestial Bodies . ... Analytically tractable, the evolution of meteor particles' elliptic orbits in a gravitational field of the Sun is considered in view of light pressure, the Poynting Robertson effect, and the corpuscular analogue of Poynting Robertson effect. ... In the context of the perturbed two-body problem, the criterion for the probable meteor particles parent bodies are identified. ...

... 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. ... Figure 1 (not to scale) shows how we can imagine the system Earth-Moon...

The newly discovered planet orbits about six million km from the star Alpha Centauri B, much closer than Mercury is to the Sun in our Solar System.The planet has a mass of a little more than that of the Earth making it one of the smallest exoplanets known.Without a doubt it is a rocky planet , with a barren and cratered surface, on its sunlit side the surface ?аmay reach a temperature of about 1200C.Exoplanets are not ...

Seven months ago, on Mar 19, 2008, at 09:12 Moscow time, a new star appeared on the sky. The Sun had already risen over the Russia, but people of the Western hemisphere might be able to see by their eyes a faint starlet near one of Bootes constellation stars. This starlet appeared and faded by an order of magnitude in a minute. Astronomers named it GRB080319B or, informally, the Naked-Eye Burst, as it was twice as bright as human eye can see a star. ...

... 4.4 Imbedding HTML in a Document . In the following discussion of SPECIAL processing
, I will assume that rtftohtml has not been customized. If it has, the text styles used to create special effects may be different. ... Normally, if your RTF document contained the text "<cite>hello</cite>", the translator would output this as: "&lt;cite&gt;hello&lt;/cite&gt;". ... If, however, you want the <cite></cite> to be interpreted as HTML markup, you must format the tags using Hidden and Shadow. ...

... Astronomy news . ... NASA's Spitzer Images Out-of-This-World Galaxy . ... It is spiral-shaped like our Milky Way, with long, spindly arms of stars. The "eye" at the center of the galaxy is actually a monstrous black hole surrounded by a ring of stars. In this color-coded infrared view from Spitzer, the area around the invisible black hole is blue and the ring of stars, white. ... The ring around the black hole is bursting with new star formation. ...

... There are TPM log files for every night of the dark run except for the nights of 08 October and 14 October 1999. ...

Lunar Libration . Articles | ... Actually, a slight rocking motion, called libration,* makes about 59% of the Moon's surface visible from our planet Earth -- though only 50% at any one time. ... Add to that, the approximate 1.5 degree tilt of the Moon's equator to the ecliptic, and you have the inclination of the Moon's equator to the plane of its orbit around Earth at some 6.5 degrees (5 + 1.5 = 6.5). ...

Next: ZGSC (Compressed GSC) and XSKYMAP . ... This is a preliminary report on an investigation of the quality and properties of plates digitized during creation of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC). The results will be vital for reclassifying GSC objects. ... Many objects are measured on more than one plate, and thus have multiple catalog entries. ... Among the shortcomings of the GSC are: biased magnitudes and incorrect classifications for certain objects, presence of artifact objects. ...

Nickolai Copernic: "making the Sun stop, pushing the Earth". ... The aim of Copernic's investigations is improving the calculating schemes. ... In heliocentric system appeared an opportunity of calculating real proportions of Solar system using the radius of the Earth's orbits as an astronomical unit. Copernic's book "About Rotation of Celestial Bodies" contains a discription of astronomical devices as well as a new more exact catalogue of stable stars. ...
