Saturn will be getting harder to see, as it's now even closer to the Sun than the Venus-Mercury pair, 1 deg 32' away to the lower right (P.A. = 225 deg) The very closest approach of Venus Mercury takes place at 16.45 BST on 27 June; that's still daylight here of course. ... 17.00 BST: sep = 3' 56", P.A. = 220 deg. ... Good Luck! ...

As the Universe expands, gravity pulls on the Universe, and slows the expansion down over time. As we look to great distances, we are looking back in time. If we can measure how fast the Universe is expanding in the past, and compare it to how fast it is expanding now, we can see the total gravitational effect of all matter in the Universe. Here we plot the distance between two galaxies as a function of time. ... Universes with lots of material . ...

These images show Pluto in the latest series of New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) photos, taken May 8-12, 2015, compared to LORRI images taken one month earlier. In the month between these image sets, New Horizons' distance to Pluto decreased from 68 million miles (110 million kilometers) to 47 million miles (75 million kilometers), as the spacecraft speeds toward a close encounter with the Pluto system in mid-July. ...

The visible spectrum of MWC 560 is poor in absorption lines especially near the brightness maximum. In our atlas are visible only the blue-shifted components of , , NaI and FeII(42), interstellar lines NaI, a few diffuse interstellar bands (DIB) and telluric lines of and and, at length, traces of the spectra of the M giant. ...

... SN1998bw was discovered by Galama et al. in the BeppoSAX WFC error box of GRB 980425, by comparing two frames taken at the ESO-NTT telescope on Apr. 28.4 and May 1.3 UT, close to a spiral arm of the barred galaxy ESO 184-G82. ... A few days after its detection, the object was classified as a SN of type Ib and later as a peculiar Ic, due to a complete absence of H lines, no clear HeI detection and the weakness of the SiII 6355A, which is the characterizing feature of type Ia. ...

... On rare occasions (few times a year or so), ground based observations in the morning sector show highly monochromatic amplitude modulated oscillations in the Pc 4 range (see the sample ). ... As these particles circle the Earth and reach the morning hours only when the ExB drift is small, giant pulsations are observed only during geomagnetically quiet times (Chisham, 1996). ...

. You can compare any two versions of a file that is under the control of SCCS with the sccsdiff command: /usr/sccs/sccsdiff -r version -r version s. filename . Using this command produces a line by line difference between the two versions of the file. Results are shown in the same format as that produced by the diff command. Examples .

The theory predicts that the oscillation period should be proportional to the square root of the oscillating mass, including the mass of the clip. Note that gravity plays no part here: the oscillation period would be the same on the Moon or in zero-g. Denoting square root by SQRT, we have . ...
