It is intended for carrying large-sized cargo up to 450 tons or passenger modules with capacity up to 1200 persons at the external suspension. It can be used as an aircraft-carrier for aerospace systems. The HERACLES aircraft can be used on non-class as well as the first class airdromes with improved (if necessary) taxi ways. The use of low pressure pneumatics enables the aircraft operation from prepared ground airfields. ...

We inform the variable-star community that the publication of the "Peremennye Zvezdy" (Variable Stars) journal, founded by Prof. B.V. Kukarkin (1909 1977) in 1928, is planned to be resumed by November, 2005. Currently it is possible for us to publish "Peremennye Zvezdy" only as an electronic journal. ... The main journal will accept original scientific papers containing theoretical results as well as results based on detailed analysis of variable-star observations. ...

... Our supplementary volume owes its origin to the discovery by the authors?F. Richard Stephenson and Michael A. Houlden (1981)? of significant errors in Tuckerman's tabular positions of Mars. Following a query put to one of us (FRS) by the late Professor A.J. Sachs of Brown University, Providence, R.I. regarding the real accuracy of the tables, we made a systematic comparison between Tuckerman's positions for the Sun and planets and those computed from an integrated ephemeris. ...

This plot shows the projected motion of the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri (green line) over the next decade, as plotted from Hubble Space Telescope observations. ... Because Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our Sun, its angular motion across the sky is relatively fast compared to much more distant background stars. This means that in 2014 and 2016 Proxima Centauri will pass in front of two background stars that are along its path. ...
