... I am interested in Fano varieties -- those whose some multiple of sheaf of higher holomorphic differentials embeds them to a pro jective space. Mirror conjectures state an existence of a so called dual Landau­Ginzburg model, that is an open smooth Calabi­Yau variety with non-trivial complex-valued function called potential. ... The pro ject has 3 main directions. ... Mirror Symmetry predicts duality between anticanonical sections of Fano variety and fibers of its dual Landau­Ginzburg model. ...

Analysis of Observations of Earth Impact Object 2008 TC3 . ... Central (Pulkovo) Astronomical Observatory of RAS, St. Petersburg, Russia Abstract: . On-line astrometric and photometric observations of asteroid 2008 TC3 , discovered 19 hours before its impact on Earth [1], were carried out with the mirror astrograph ZA-320 пњ at Pulkovo observatory at night of 7 th October, 2009. ... Results of analysis of the of 837 observations taken at 26 observatories worldwide are presented. ...

... Editor's note: Since other stars are so far away, much of the progress we are making in understanding stars in general comes from studying our own "hometown'' star, the Sun. ... We must begin with an important warning: Never look directly at the Sun, especially when using binoculars or a telescope. ... Any specks on the image of the Sun which do not jiggle along with the image when you do this are specks in the binoculars or telescope (or smudges on the screen), and not spots on the Sun itself. ...

The satellites are covered by nearly 1000 small, front-surface aluminum mirrors that are machined by technology students in Utah and polished by tens of thousands of students all over the world. ... And this is only small story about it. ... We will be able to measure the angular position of that satellite by observing sunlight flashes from small mirrors mounted on the surface of the satellite, as it passes across the starry sky before sunrise and after sunset.. ...
