LIPSKIY-RODIONOVA' LUNAR ANTIPODES AS PRECURSORS OF A REGULAR WAVE PLANETOLOGY G.G.Kochemasov IGEM of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia kochem@igem.ru / Fax: (009)(095)230 21 79 The first observations of the lunar far side allowed to compare it with the near side and draw very important conclusions in the very beginning of planetary studies based on spacecrafts. ... Celestial bodies are dichotomic. ... The concept of celestial bodies includes Sun (a star) as one of them. ...

... Astronomy 101 . ... Astronomers find first evidence of changing conditions on a super-Earth . The ability to peek into the atmospheres of rocky super-Earths and observe conditions on their surfaces marks an important milestone toward identifying habitable planets outside the solar system. ... This is the first time we ve seen such drastic changes in light emitted from an exoplanet, which is particularly remarkable for a super-Earth, said Nikku Madhusudhan of Cambridge s Institute of Astronomy. ...

... STFC Courses in Solar System Plasmas have played an important part in the early training of solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric and ionospheric physicists since the 1980s. The Introductory course, as well as providing a grounding in the theory and the most recent observations relevant to their fields, allows new PhD students and other participants to interact scientifically with each other and with the lecturers, thus strengthening the field as a whole - particularly in the UK. ...

... It is precisely these values that are displayed as O – C. In case computed positions of minor planet for all or some part of moments are found without accounting for perturbations, the corresponding moments are followed by asterisk (without perturbations are computed positions for all minor planets if moments of their observations lie outside the basic interval of 16 months or for ordinary ... The coordinate system and type of computed positions are indicated in status bar. ...

PROJECT SUMMARY (max 3000 characters) The principal goals of the project are the observational and theoretical investigation of complex cosmic objects where the processes of dust scattering, absorption and emission play significant roles. ... Development of light scattering theory and computer codes to calculate the optical properties of non-spherical inhomogeneous particles and laboratory measurements of light scattering characteristics of irregularly shaped particles. ...

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope Technical Note 19971102 . ... Because of the difficulty of visually detecting thin patches of clouds under dark conditions, an infrared (IR) scanner was constructed in 1993 to monitor nighttime cloud cover at Apache Point Observatory. ... The left diagram (Figure 1) shows the scanner coordinate system. ... The loci of points at 15њ intervals in scanner coordinates are plotted on an azimuth-altitude polar plot (Figure 3). ...

... Research . Projects . ... The name of the project APEX is a reduction from words " Active Plasma Experiments " . The core of the project are active experiments with injection of electron and (or) plasma beams from a board of the satellite with simultaneous registration of the phenomena, produced by interaction of injected beam with background plasma. ... Active experiments utilise modulated electron beam accelerator and source of modulated xenon plasma beam on the main spacecraft APEX. ...

... The air just sit there and doesn't get stirred. ... Normally, the air is hottest near the ground and gets cooler as you go up. ... If it weren't for the temperature profile, convection wouldn't occur: Because the temperature decreases with altitude, cold air sits on top of hot air, allowing convection. ... The air above the ground is hot, the air above the water is cold. ... The land cools down faster than the sea, so the air above the ground is colder than the air above the water. ...

... LINKS . ... Contacting and discussing with people sharing your interests, participating in night sky observations with telescopes as well as a large choice of astronomical books, magazines and video-tapes out of our club library. Borrowing of astronomical observation equipment ( telescope, binoculars a.s.o. ) possible after 1 year of membership. ... What does a telescope cost ? ... Therefore a dark site for observing is at least as important for deep sky observation as the diameter of your scope. ...
