This image from ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) shows the newly discovered planet HD95086 b, next to its parent star. The observations were made using NACO, the adaptative optics instrument for the VLT in infrared light, and using a technique called differential imaging, which improves the contrast between the planet and its dazzling host star. ... The exoplanet appears at the lower left. The blue circle is the size of the orbit of Neptune in the Solar System. ...

When you enter a command it invokes a program. While this program is running it is called a process . It is important to grasp that although there is only one copy of a program held in the file system , any number of processes can be invoked which run this program. When the operating system is started after a boot , a single process is started. ... Any processes that are started from within your shell - such as entering a command - are the children of this process. ...

... A clock is a tool for the time counting. The stable repeating processes are used in clocks. ... The first timepieces were sand glasses; in the 2nd thousand years B.C. there occured water clocks; the first mentions about mechanical timepieces related to the end of the 6th century; the modern mechanical timepieces are created by H. Huigens in 1657; in 70th years of the 20th century there were widespread the electronic quartz watches with numeric indication, for example on the liquid chips. ...

... The author of the cover picture is Vasilisa Verkhodanova. The picture symbolizes our perception of the world. The modified emblem of the SAO unifying the 6-m optical telescope and the raditelescope RATAN-600 of SAO RAS is placed in the center of the radio galaxy isophotes. From the one hand, we can investigate the properties of radio galaxies with these (and other) telescopes, and try to study physical processes providing their activity. ...
