... A new IRAF task has been developed that automatically identifies linear (line-like) features in an image or set of images. ... In order to automatically detect linear features, the first step is to select pixels in the image (Fig. 1 , left panel) that fall within a given data value range. ... Another aspect of extended linear features is that the image space pixels that describe them are in some way adjacent to one another and have a minimum and maximum length. ...

It could be that SETI signals have arrived at the Earth, but are lower then the noise level, and our receivers cannot detect them. ... Fig. ... It follows that two zones form around the star with civilization X: "Zone Yes", where its SETI signal can be detected, and "Zone No", where its signals are hidden by noise (Fig. ... In practice, it is more efficient to use a time factor, since the problem of SETI contact does not limit the duration of the signal element and semantic text. ...

During the second flight they determined the duration of a Mercury day (88 terrestrial days) the day temperature was 510°C and the night one was about 210°C. The heat flood radiated by the surface was also determined. ...
