... The remote planet Pluto and its moon Charon orbit the Sun at a mean distance of almost 6,000 million kilometres, or nearly fourty times farther out than the Earth. During a recent investigation by an international group of astronomers [1], the best picture ever of Pluto and Charon [2] was secured with the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera at the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). ... The new HST image was taken when Charon was near its maximum elongation from Pluto (0.9 arcseconds). ...

Having studied the solar corona and its radio emissions sunspot cycles ago, I was keen to verify its existence optically during the total solar eclipse of Wednesday, 4 December 2002, the first on Australian soil since 1976. The moon's shadow was to travel from the south-Atlantic west of The Congo, across southern Africa, the Indian Ocean and into the Great Australian Bight, finally making Australian landfall at Ceduna, South Australia (SA). ... The favoured site to observe the eclipse was Ceduna. ...

... But when stars are in a stable star cluster whose physical size is not changing, like the Pleiades , then the apparent motions of the stars within the cluster can be used to determine the distance to the cluster. ... Because a time interval of 100 years can be used to measure d(theta)/dt, precise distances to nearby star clusters are possible. ...

... The force F of gravity between two objects of mass m and M, whose centres are a distance r apart, is given by Newton's famous equation: [pic], where G = 6.67(10-11 N m2 kg-2, and F is measured in Newtons. So, the force in orbit Fo is weaker than the force on the Earth's surface F0 by the ratio: [pic] where the radius of the Earth is 6,400 km, and the orbit is 1000 km above the Earth's surface. ... Energy Considerations Another way to see all this is to consider the energy of an object in orbit. ...
