... The absolute magnitude of the RCBs in the LMC and the small number of Galactic RCBs implies that they are very rare stars. Together with statistics for related stars, the total number of hydrogen-deficient stars in the Galaxy is estimated to be about 1000 ([ Warner 1967 ]). Whilst the luminosity of RCBs is similar to that of other low-mass stars as they evolve rapidly from the asymptotic giant branch to become white dwarfs, their frequency is much lower. ...

The ultimate force in the universe: Some thoughts about gravity. ... Gravity through the ages Aristotle: Earth, water, fire, air. Earth and water fall `down' to the center of the cosmos (geocentric or earth centered universe). The more earth or water in the object, the faster it is attracted to the center. ... Determines the fate of the universe (expand forever, or contract back in a `"big crunch"). ... Determines the fate of stars when they die (white dwarfs, neutron star, or black hole). ...

... COMPUTER SIMULATION OF RADIOWAVE MULTIPLE SCATTERING EFFECTS IN IONOSPHERE USING MONTE-CARLO METHOD . ... Distribution of reflected radiation on the ground is computed. ... Such influence can be remarkable if the scattering is multiple, i.e. the optical thickness for the scattering process is considerably greater than a unit. ... Radiation energy transfer in the slab is modeled by distribution of some particles carring small portions of radiation energy. ... The isotropic plasma approximation is...

In the regular experiments carried out with the RAS radio telescopes at Pushchino during 1999-2002, the study of the radial dependence of scattering of compact natural radio sources was extended to remote regions of the solar plasma environment. ... The stream in the transalfvenic region displays the same typical radial structure as observed in the transonic region, i.e., the existence of a "precursor" - a narrow band of reduced scattering preceding a wide region of enhanced scattering. ...

How did early astronomers determine the distance form earth to the sun, and what method is used today to determine distances in space? ... Since Huygens knew the Sun-Venus-Earth angle (from the phases), and he could directly measure the Sun-Earth-Venus angle (simply by measuring Venus' apparent distance from the Sun on the sky) all he needed was to know the distance from Earth to Venus. ...

... After all we cannot send a probe to the star Altair to confirm that it is 17 light years away. ... The "Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni was about ten light years away" Earth goes around the Sun in one year, so in six month it is in the opposite position in its orbit. ... In 1838 Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni had a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds and therefore the star was about ten light years away (today the distance is more precisely measured to be 11.4 light years). ...
