... Solar System . ... Hill of Infinity . ... The hill extends the scale model of the Solar system to the stars, nearby galaxies and vast structures in the distant Universe. Every 10 metres up the hill represents a tenfold increase in distance from the Sun. ... On the scale of our model Solar System, Polaris would be 240,000 km from Armagh, nearly two thirds the distance to the Moon. ... On the scale of our model solar system, the Orion Nebula would lie at the distance of the Moon from Armagh. ...

... Lets you work with numeric values. The Number object is an object wrapper for primitive numeric values. ... JavaScript 1.3: added toSource method . ... value . ... JavaScript 1.2: Number(x) now produces NaN rather than an error if x is a string that does not contain a well-formed numeric literal. ... The following example uses the Number object's properties to assign values to several numeric variables: biggestNum = Number.MAX_VALUE . ... ECMA-262 JavaScript prints the value Number.NaN as NaN . ...

... Moon . Planets . ... Earth Satellites . ... The majority of travellers venturing outside of our planet have viewed it only from low orbit as is the case for astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS). Only 24 men have viewed the Earth from outside low orbit as they journeyed to the Moon on the Apollo missions of the late 1960s and 1970s (nine missions, each with a crew of three went to the Moon but three astronauts, Lovell, Young and Cernan flew on two different Apollo missions). ...

... The gamma function [not the Gamma -- note upper-case G -- which is related to the factorial] is one of those insanely useful functions that after one finds out about it, one wonders ?why haven?t we been using this all the time?? It is defined only on the positive non-negative real line, is a highly flexible function that can emulate almost any kind of skewness in a distribution, and is a perfect complement to the Poisson likelihood. ...

The TCC supports the following coordinate systems: . ICRS: the current RA/Dec standard. The default date of observation is J2000. ICRS is FK5 J2000 (for all practical purposes) but has no date of equinox . ... The date specifies both the date of equinox (usually J2000) and the date of observation . ... The date specifies both the date of equinox and date of observation . ... Warning: the following coordinate systems are rarely used (except Mount for parking the telescope). ...

In a strange twist of science, astronomers using the Herschel Space Observatory have discovered that a suspected ring at the center of our galaxy is warped for reasons they cannot explain. ... New observations from the Herschel Space Observatory show a bizarre, twisted ring of dense gas at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. ...

... Fractals and multifractals are used to model hierarchical, inhomogeneous structures in several areas of astrophysics, notably the distribution of matter at various scales in the universe. ... It is pointed out that some of the difficulties regarding the convergence rates of algorithms used to determine scaling exponents for a fractal or multifractal, are intrinsically related to its texture, in particular, to its lacunarity . ... Structures with fractal characteristics are important for astrophysics...
