... 2012 November 5 . Saturn's Moon Dione in Slight Color . ... Explanation: Why does one half of Dione have more craters than the other? Start with the fact that Saturn 's moon Dione has one side that always faces Saturn, and one side that always faces away. This is similar to Earth's Moon . This tidal locking means that one side of Dione always leads as the moon progresses in its orbit, while the other side always trails. ... Tomorrow's picture: moon egg . ... About APOD | ...

Allows you to specify a drift scan: motion at a constant velocity along a great circle. ... The path starts at the new object position (though the telescope actually intersects the path later, see Subtleties ). ... Note that the units are always /sec for both axes. ... The velocity along the path is 0.01 /sec. ... The path is assumed to start when you hit the Slew button (more precisely, when the TCC parses the command). However, it takes the telescope awhile to slew to meet the specified path. ...

There are two modes to specify the time interval of ephemeris. ... This mode is applicable if the date of opposition belongs to the basic interval of 16 months from November of the year preceding to the title one to February of the subsequent one.
