... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

This is a copy of a Press Release from E.S.O. The most recent ESO observations of bright Comet Hyakutake have shown rapid changes in the innermost coma, within a few hundred kilometres from the cometary nucleus. This result has only become possible because of the unusual combination of a bright comet being near the Earth, together with the excellent imaging quality of the ESO 3.5-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT). ...

... The Sun Changes . ... This recent picture was taken in a very specific red color called Hydrogen-Alpha . Dark spots that might appear on the image are usually sunspots , dark magnetic depressions that are slightly cooler than the rest of the Sun's surface. ... Over the next few years the average number of sunspots and plages will increase until "Solar Maximum" occurs in 2001. ...

... Jitter is usually very small in magnitude and random in effect, and is not expected to lead to systematic throughput changes. ... However, such a change should lead to an obvious decline in the strength of the comparison lines at one end of the spectrum relative to the other and not an overall decline in counts. No such effect is seen (the counts decline evenly from one end of the spectrum to the other). ... The value changes steadily, but not by enough to account for the changes in counts seen. ...

... The Great Nebula in Carina . ... Eta Carinae , the most energetic star in the nebula, was one of the brightest stars in the sky in the 1830s, but then faded dramatically. Eta Carinae is the brightest star near the image center, just left of the Keyhole Nebula . While Eta Carinae itself maybe on the verge of a supernova explosion, X-ray images indicate that much of the Great Carina Nebula has been a veritable supernova factory . Tomorrow's picture: open space . ...

A study of Martian surface characteristics using microwave remote sensing technique at S-L-P bands (6-100 cm wavelengths) is suggested. The method is based on measurements of radar backscattering and brightness temperature variations induced by subsurface temperature, moisture, porosity and surface roughness changes. ...
