... Portrait of Galileo Galilei (in 1636) by Justus Sustermans. ... We are about three-quarters of the way through the IYA, the International Year of Astronomy. It is thus timely to think about the successes of the year and, as this ASP annual meeting title indicates, forge a path to a future of continued public engagement in astronomy. In this context of public understanding and appreciation of science, it is important to note the world view into which Galileo Galilei was born (1564). ...

Prague, August 16, 2006 . ... The GCVS has no IAU financial support since 1994, so we are not discussing money. ... However, it must be finished, with a new modern version prepared for all 'old' GCVS stars, including those from Name-Lists, with current knowledge incorporated and improved classification system applied. ... Also, people like GCVS star names, use them, and want their discoveries to be named. We can ask other people, with better resources than in Russia, to continue. ...

... This document and the attached postscript figure document an analysis that I did to determine the optimum midpoint and required ranges for both the rotator and azimuth for the 2.5 M telescope. ... I simulate a series of drift scans on the sky for tracks that cover the northern survey area. These tracks cover the range in survey latitude of -60 to +60 degrees, spaced by 10 degrees. ... Along each track the azimuth, elevation, and position angle of the CCD is computed at 1 minute intervals. ...

Launched on February 17, 1996, the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) mission is to be the first of NASA's Discovery missions, a series of small-scale spacecraft designed to proceed from development to flight in under three years for a cost of less than $150 million. ... The ultimate goal of the mission is to rendezvous with and achieve orbit around the near Earth asteroid 433 Eros in February, 1999, and study the asteroid for approximately one year. ...

For non-spherical isotropic particles, the classic variant of the RDG approximation does not include the anisotropy of the shape and hence does not give the correct Rayleigh limit, say, for small ellipsoids. ... We call this variant a modified RDG approximation (MRDG). ... First, the MRDG leads to the correct Rayleigh limit. ... The second approach to generalization of the RDG is connected with the use of the Born iterations for the scattering integral equation [ 95 , 124 , 132 , 264 ]. ...

The ring wall, especially well preserved along the southeast shore of the lake, the steep banks and the great depth, all indicated that at one time there had been a powerful explosion here. ... It is possible that the depth may have been 40 meters before but that the slumping of the banks was helping to decrease the depth. ...
