The theory of radiative transfer in inhomogeneous atmospheres was developed ( Yanovytskij E.G. ) . ... Calculations shown that the vertical movement of gas and aerosol in the atmosphere of giant planets with velocity w = (0.1-0.5) m/s determines the capacity of visible clouds and therefore affects their brightness characteristics (A. P. Vidmachenko). ...

... As then we removed from the Earth, we dived into a sky deeper and deeper. ... We saw immense red-hot spheres, liked suns, in illuminator of our spaceship. ...

... This paper presents the TAROT-2 project an automatic, autonomous observatory. Its main objectives are the study of cosmic Gamma-Ray bursts and the detection of extrasolar planets. ... 1999; Bo?r et al. 2000), an automated telescope mainly devoted to the observation of cosmic gamma-ray bursts. This telescope has achieved a high degree of autonomy, being able to process the requests, establish its own schedule, and process the observations to produce a source list matched with several catalogs. ...

... Mike Carr and Jim Gunn prepare the camera, fitting lift fixtures and accomplishing delivery inspections. ... Jim and Mike rotate the camera (on its cart) and remove the cover to inspect the underside. ... Jim and Mike hold a small hands-on workshop on preparing the camera for transport with Dan Long, Jon Davis, and Jon Brinkmann. ... Back at the 3.5m enclosure, Mike, Jim, and French rotate the camera into position for lifting. ...

... If finddead =Y, embadpixfind looks for too dark pixels, rows and columns too. ... The maxratio parameter avoids detecting 'grey' pixels, rows or columns on observations with high statistics. Whatever findbright and finddead , dark and bright columns and rows are always searched for together in order of decreasing significance (either positive or negative). This avoids finding spurious bright columns/rows next to very dark ones, and vice-versa. ...

...
