... Eugene A. Cernan (Captain, USN, Ret.) NASA Astronaut (former) . ... Cernan subsequently served as backup pilot for Gemini 12 and as backup lunar module pilot for Apollo 7. On his second space flight, he was lunar module pilot of Apollo 10, May 18-26, 1969, the first comprehensive lunar-orbital qualification and verification flight test of an Apollo lunar module. ... Captain Cernan has logged 566 hours and 15 minutes in space-of which more than 73 hours were spent on the surface of the moon. ...

Geomagnetic storms and substorms are a natural hazard similar to hurricanes, floods etc. ... Solar and geomagnetic activity also probably influences the Earth's climate and human health. ... Under southward directed IMF the Earth's magnetosphere is open to input from the solar wind flow. ... Since practical importance of solar wind measurements was recognized, a number of approaches was developed for prediction of the geomagnetic activity basing on the solar wind data. ...

... There are several explanations for these X--ray quiet PMS stars. To examine the explanations, it is proper to divide the PMS stars into three groups: those bluer than R - I = 0.7, those redder than the X--ray sources (R - I > 1.25) and those with colors similar to the X--ray sources. ... A total of 26 of the non--X--ray detected PMS candidates had spectra taken. ... Between V=14 and V=16, I find 25 stars which are X--ray sources and estimate 19 non--X--ray PMS stars. ...

... The Sun is the closest star to us, and a regular object in our Galaxy. Solar activity manifests itself, primarily, in solar flares - episodic explosive energy release in the form of electromagnetic radiation and high energy particles (electrons and protons). The nature of the flares is related to cyclic variations of global and local magnetic fields in the atmosphere of the Sun. ... Such formations are called active regions. ...

The light beams of the Moon’s craters. The centres of the Moon’s beams are the crater Copernic, Kepler, Aristarch. But the most powerful light system has Tikho the crater. ... What substance forms the rays of the Moon craters? ... In 1960 two soviet scientists Kirill Petrovich Stanukovich and Vitally Aleksandrovich Broshtein supposed the following explanation of these beams. The meteorite shock at the Moon’s surface is accomplished by the burst: the kinetic energy is used for gushing out. ...

... A new method for the discrimination of point-like objects in astronomical images is presented. The method makes use of the surface curvature of the image, without any a priori knowledge of the shape of the point-like objects. ... We propose a new approach to the problem based on the properties of surface curvature which is related to peaks, pits and flats in images and therefore contain the key information to discriminate point-like objects. ... The image of means is called the analysis image. ...
