... I normally begin by asking the class what they think would be different if the Moon didn't exist, or if the Sun were closer to Earth, or if a star exploded nearby. ... The winds would be much stronger. ... In using what-if questions in the classroom, it is worth bearing in mind that students extrapolating the effects of new scenarios will encounter two different situations: direct changes to the new version of Earth and indirect changes resulting from the direct changes. ...

The Extended Soft Approximation for Spherical Particles A.Y. Perelman St.Petersburg State Forest Technical Academy and N.V. Voshchinnikov Astronomy Department and Sobolev Astronomical Institute, St.Petersburg University Abstract The soft approximation (SA) gives the possibility to obtain the different optical characteristics of particles from the common point of view [1]. As for the Mie theory, they are expressed in terms of the scattering coefficients $a_n$ and $b_n$. ...

... The NOTE element is designed for use as admonishments such as notes, cautions or warnings, as commonly used in technical documentation. The CLASS attribute specifies the type of the element and is typically associated with different graphics such as a road traffic warning sign. ... The class names: NOTE, CAUTION and WARNING are recommended for standard admonishments. In the absence of the CLASS attribute, a NOTE element is typically rendered indented, without an accompanying graphic. ...

Circling around magnetic field lines. ... The ring current . Because positive ions and negative electrons drift in opposite directions (see drawing), that motion will create an electric current that circulates clockwise around the Earth when viewed from north. ... How then can the radiation belt and ring current arise? ... Electric fields are able to push trapped particles earthward, and unlike the purely magnetic motion described earlier, an electric field can also energize them. ...

... The circumnuclear GASEOUS disks are often decoupled from the circumnuclear stellar disks and are even stronger inclined to the outer disk planes; in fact, we have found a considerable `population' of inner polar rings. Inner gas polar rings are found as in spiral galaxies with the massive outer gas disks co-planar to the main symmetry planes (e.g. NGC 2841, Sil'chenko et al. 1997, and NGC 7217, Sil'chenko & Afanasiev 2000) as well in many lenticular galaxies (Fig. ...

... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Estimation of masses of some minor planets from observations of perturbed bodies O. M. Kochetova Institute of Applied Astronomy, St. Petersburg, Russia The most straightforward method of mass determination of minor planets is the dynamical one which uses the gravitational perturbations produced by minor planet in the motion of other bodies. ... The values of the masses of minor planets (15), (29) and (65) appear to be rather close in both papers. ...
