Halo around the Moon. Halo arises when the light beams refracted on the high clouds icy chips ina form of a six side prism. As a result we see a small halo circle with a 22°-radius. The big circle is formed by the beams paased through the side edge and the base of prismochips. Its radius is equal to 46° (nearly). The big circle is observed rarely and is shining weaker but it is easier to observe it near the Sun, if comparing with the small halo invisible in the bright Sun light. ...

... Maxim was one of the leading analysts of Russia space activities, those who set the basis for the open independent analysis of then-Soviet space program. q In the early 1990s the small blue paperback book became a real breakthrough. In the time being, almost everything is allowed; in that time, even the title of the book - The Military . ... I believe that to open Maxim's files and archives for the experts and Russian space program enthusiasts would be a best thing we can do in memoriam. ...

... In this talk we establish the following relation between the categories of representations of the two algebras: we show that the category of modules over the small quantum group is naturally equivalent to the category of modules over the big quantum group, which have a so called Hecke eigen-property with respect to representations lifted by means of the quantum Frobenius map from the category of representations of the Langlands dual Lie algebra. ...

... The Sun has come all of one day away from breaking its record for the longest period of inactivity for the last decade - reaching a mid-summer low and falling into yet another state of "hibernation". Yesterday, on the first day of autumn, new sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun following an absence of almost 50 days. ... The first low lasted 51 days, from 21 July until 11 September last year. ... Now, almost a year later, it seems the Sun has hit a new low almost as "deep" as the first. ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...
