The first persistent Web agent that we have created on Actor Prolog is a program that collects information about research groups that develop Prolog and projects in the field of logic programming. The agent looks through a given list of Web sites and calculates some attributes of the sites: the date of recent modification, total size, the number of figures, the number of outside links, the number of error links, the number of given keywords, etc. ... http://www.cplire.ru/Lab144/space/prolog.html . ...

... After all we cannot send a probe to the star Altair to confirm that it is 17 light years away. ... The "Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni was about ten light years away" Earth goes around the Sun in one year, so in six month it is in the opposite position in its orbit. ... In 1838 Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni had a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds and therefore the star was about ten light years away (today the distance is more precisely measured to be 11.4 light years). ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Every few months, one of a series of questions comes up on the USENET group sci.astro involving tides, or the rotation of the Moon, or the recession of the Moon from the Earth. ... Why the Moon's rotation period is the same as the length of time it takes to orbit the Earth (same as number 1, but phrased differently). ... But when this happens, the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once will be slowed to exactly the same time it takes for the Moon to go around the Earth once! ...
