... We guess it's almost impossible to create the site nowadays where all space relative philatelic materials (postage stamps, stationary, postal marks etc.) would be registered and presented. ... We tried to make such a step in April 2005, placing at the site first images of postage stamps with portraits of astronauts (cosmonauts, spacionauts, taikonauts:). ... All illustrative material (or simply speaking, all scans of stamps) are grouped in four sections: Countries , Years , Astronauts and Flights . ...

... The spectrum of the brightest star, our Sun, shows several dark gaps perpendicular to the flow of it’s colours (figure 1). These so called spectral absorption lines where discovered in 1802 by the English scientist William Wollaston. ... Some stars as Pollux show a spectrum similar to that of our sun with strong Ca II and Fe II lines, others as Sirius or Vega show strong absorption lines of hydrogen, others, as Mira show very complicated spectra due to molecular absorption lines (see figure 5). ...

... Калибровка снимка - это удаление из него паразитной информации, которая включает в себя: темновой шум, горячие пиксели, шум считывания (ток смещения), а также тени от пыли на матрице и оптике. Для калибровки снимка нужно подготовить снимки с паразитной, т.е. нежелательной информацией. В первую очередь нам нужно получить мастер-кадр шума считывания (ток смещения), на западе снимок шума считывания называют Bias или Offset . ... Уровень темнового шума сильно зависит от температуры матрицы. ...
