... Credit: Cassini Imaging Team , ISS , JPL , ESA , NASA Explanation: What's causing those strange dark streaks in the rings of Saturn? Prometheus . Specifically, an orbital dance involving Saturn's moon Prometheus keeps creating unusual light and dark streamers in the F-Ring of Saturn. ... Prometheus' gravity then pulls the closest ring particles toward the 80-km moon. ... Since Prometheus orbits faster than the ring particles, the icy moon pulls out a new streamer every pass. ...

... 2008 September 10 . The Anthe Arc around Saturn . Credit: Cassini Imaging Team , SSI , JPL , ESA , NASA . ... Since the arc occupies the same orbit as the small moon Anthe , a leading hypothesis holds that the arc was created by, and is replenished by, meteor impacts on Anthe. Similar arcs have been previously discovered, including an arc associated with the small Saturnian moon Methone , one arc related to Saturn's G ring , and several arcs orbiting Neptune . ...

home publications > mercury . ... Rings of Creation . ... In 1755, Immanuel Kant had the remarkable insight that stars and planetary systems form by the gravitational collapse and rotational flattening of interstellar clouds. Later in the 18th century, Marquis Pierre Simon de Laplace refined Kant s idea by suggesting that planets condensed from rings produced at the edge of a contracting disk while the Sun formed at the center a picture thereafter known as the Nebular Hypothesis. ...

... STScI-PRC98-21 A BRIGHT RING OF STAR BIRTH AROUND A GALAXY'S CORE An image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope reveals clusters of infant stars that formed in a ring around the core of the barred-spiral galaxy NGC 4314. ... This close-up view by Hubble also shows other interesting details in the galaxy's core: dust lanes, a smaller bar of stars, dust and gas embedded in the stellar ring, and an extra pair of spiral arms packed with young stars. ... However, they are older than those in the ring. ...

The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... That produces an extra resistance to the flow of current. ...

... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

The File System . This section describes how you can create new files, copy existing files, and delete obsolete files. ... RENAME to change the name of a file. ... Files can be created in several ways: text can be entered from the keyboard via the CREATE command, an editor can create a file, as can a running program, and files can be copied from other directories. ... To delete obsolete files, use the DELETE command followed by a file name or file name template (wildcards). ...

... The blue bubble is a planetary nebula known as Abell 33. Planetary nebulae are created when an aging star blows away its outer layers of gas in a gigantic cosmic bubble. ... Creating the illusion of the cosmic diamond is a bright star along the rim of the nebula. ... The star is about 700 light years away, that is halfway between Earth and the nebula. ... At the centre of the ring, you can see the remains of the star that created this planetary nebula, now a white dwarf . ...

... Aurora from Space . ... Magnetic Storms . ... The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... Why no aurora at the magnetic poles? ...

... Solar System . ... The voyager space craft drifting into interstellar space. ... Some of the highlights included observing Volcanic eruptions from JupiterтАЩs moon Io, viewing Saturn and its rings from behind (a view impossible from Earth), discovering many new moons of Uranus as well confirming the existence of NeptuneтАЩs rings. €аThirty six years later, in September 2013, Voyager 1 continued to make headlines as it now has travelled out of the Solar System and into the realms of interstellar...

. To remove a directory that is a symbolic link that points to another directory use the command: rm directory_name . Notice that the directory does not need to be empty and you do not have to use the rmdir command. You are not really removing a directory, just a named symbolic link that points to the "real" directory.

... epatplot (epatplot-1.15) [xmmsas_20080701_1801-8.0.0] . ... The task reads the event pattern information of an input EPIC pn or EPIC MOS event set . ... The single and double pattern fractions are highly sensitive to pile-up effects in bright sources and in case of deviations from the model curves (at energies of about double the peak energy) wrong spectral fit results are expected. ... epatplot can then be used to verify the event pattern fractions in the remaining area used for the spectrum. ...

The above process keeps the # of protons and the # of neutrons in the early Universe constant. This is extremely important and will result in a testable prediction later. Remember, a free neutron (one that is not bound in an atomic nucleus) will decay into a proton + electron (+ anti-neutrino) in about 900 seconds. ... During this epoch, the proton-to-neutron ratio is 1.0 . ... The Universe consists of protons, neutrons and electrons plus a photon background and a neutrino background. ...
