The array was designed to detect compact radio sources such as these by virtue of the fact that they would scintillate (twinkle) when observed from the Earth through the interplanetary medium ? ... One of Antony Hewish?s research students, Jocelyn Bell, was set the task of operating the telescope and inspecting the daily charts for the kind deflections in the trace which occurred when a scintillating source passed over the array. ...

Many people don't realize that argon makes up a full 1% of our atmosphere, while carbon dioxide is only a fraction of a percent of our atmosphere. ... COMET: An object moving about the sun in an eccentric orbit and composed of materials which, on warming up near the sun, form a "tail" which always points away from the sun. ...

... The storm began quite unexpectedly. The strongest geomagnetic storm for the last seven months began on Earth almost precisely at the same time as the solar eclipse reached its maximal stage, the culmination of which occurred at GMT 02:35 (06:35 Moscow time). ... Oscillations of such amplitude in the magnetic field have not been observed since October, 11th of last year, which is more than seven months ago. ... We can only add that the magnetic storm lasted approximately 9 hours. ...

This search system is designed for generating the necessary information on series of pointings (observations of each source consist of sets of exposures with different filters and sometimes with different exposure times) for observed sources. Search results appear at the separate page as a table with the following data: . DATE - real (not evening!) observations date (in YYYY-MM-DD format); . ... Bin - minimal CCD binning mode (may vary during the observations); . ...
