... Advises . Contact Advises . As an advise for amateurs we would like to underline: if it's possible, try to observe 3 asteroid positions per night and do not neglect to observe the Numbered Minor Planets in your telescope field of view as a "by product" of your observational programs. ... We think such estimations ought to be produced every morning after CCD observations of the moving celestial objects by observer himself. ...

Pulkovo NEO Page . ... NEA Accuracy Estimation . ... The estimation of accuracy of the current CCD observations of asteroids and comets is constantly performed at Pulkovo Observatory. ... The (O-C) values, so called "Observed" minus "Calculated" positions, characterize numerically the observations of any observatory, both professional and amateur, during a short period (one or several close nights). ... So the (O-C) values for these objects nearly entirely define the errors of observations. ...

The large magnetic cloud caused by coronal mass ejection at the Sun on January 6, 1997 came to the Earth at early morning on January 10 and continue to interact with Earth's magnetosphere till January 11 (see for example home page of this event prepeared by Dr. M.Peredo http://www-istp.gsfc.nasa.gov/istp/cloud_jan97/event.html ). ...

The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

... The concept of continuous solar wind developed in 1950's. First, Biermann (1951, 1957) observed comet tails as they passed close to the Sun , and explained the observed tail deflection by a continuous flux of protons from the Sun. Then Parker (1959) showed that the solar corona must expand, and called the outward streaming coronal gas 'solar wind'. ... The expanding solar wind drags also the solar magnetic field outward, forming what is called the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) . ...
