TEMPERATURE OF REGOLITH IN COLD TRAPS ON THE MOON A.A. Berezhnoi Sternberg Astronomical Institute Moscow, Russia The hypothesis of the existence of the lunar ice in cold traps was stated in (Watson et al., ... Arnold, 1979) estimated the mean temperature on the surface of lunar cold traps as 40-90 K. We plotted the dependence of regolith mean temperature on depth for these two values of mean temperature on the surface (see figure 1). ... Arnold J.R. Ice in the lunar polar regions, J. Geophys. ...

... This year's eclipse is unique in duration. ... Although, at the present time, there are 6 solar observatories belonging to leading space agencies in orbit around the Earth, the eclipse of 22 July, 2009, will only be seen by two of them: the Russian CORONAS-PHOTON satellite equipped with TESIS telescopes and Japan's HINODE satellite fitted with an XRT space telescope. ... TESIS will be the first of the two devices (and the very first on Earth) to witness the solar eclipse. ...
