Next: J.G. Doyle, Research Astronomer Up: Research Previous: C.J. Butler, Research Astronomer Contents . Dr John Chambers has made detailed computer simulations of the origin and formation of the Earth and the inner planets. These build upon earlier work by Chambers and George Wetherill, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, whose computer calculations had predicted that planets would tend to have elliptical orbits rather than the almost-circular ones we see in the Solar System. ...

... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above. The problem is actually not with Pluto, but with a very large number of other bodies in our Solar System which also satisfy this definition, but which are not called planets. Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...

Geotimes -- November 2005 -- Two more moons for "planet" Pluto http://www.geotimes.org/nov05/WebExtra110305.html Web Extra Thursday, November 3, 2005 Two more moons for Pluto When the New Horizons spacecraft finally reaches Pluto in July 2015, researchers will have more objects to study than previously thought. In addition to Pluto's confirmed moon Charon, astronomers have detected two more orbiting celestial bodies, which could help reveal how the planet and moon system formed. ...

Astronomers Detect Coolest Radio Star . ... The new radio-star is much smaller and colder than our Sun.€а With a surface temperature not much higher than that of a giant planet, and a size comparable to JupiterтАЩs, it is scarcely visible in optical light.€а Yet the radio flares seen at Arecibo show it must have a strong magnetic field, implying that the same could be true of other similar stars. ...

... Over the past 16 years, astronomers have found more than 700 planets outside of our Solar System. We call these distant worlds exo-planets . ... For example, they can observe how a star dims when a planet passes in front of it. ... In this new method, astronomers use stars like magnifying glasses! ... And astronomers can tell if the star that is acting like a magnifying glass has a planet in orbit around it, as the power of the magnification is even greater! ...

The artist's concept depicts Kepler-186f , the first validated Earth-sized planet to orbit a distant star in the habitable zone. The size of Kepler-186f is known to be less than ten percent larger than Earth, but its mass, density and composition are not known. ... Prior to this discovery, the "record holder" for the most "Earth-like" planet went to Kepler-62f, which is 40 percent larger than the size of Earth and orbits in its star's habitable zone. ...

. You can edit any previous command from the history list to create a new command. Suppose that command number 23 in the history list is: 23 lpr part[1-4].ps . Do a preview of the command if you are not sure that it is the right one. To change [1-4] to [5-8] use the command: !23:s/[1-4]/[5-8]/ . This will now run the command: lpr part[5-8].ps . Another way to edit commands in the history list is to move up and down the list until you find the command you are looking for and then edit its command line .

If the mean distance of Earth from the Sun is 1 AU ("Astronomical Unit"), then that of Venus is 0.723 AU, of Mercury 0.387 AU and that of Mars is 1.524 AU. ... By noting (1) where on the Sun's disk is the crossing seen, (2) timing its duration at two far-apart points on Earth, and (3) comparing the times, one can calculate the distance to Venus and from it the scale of the solar system. ...

... The greater the distance, the smaller the parallax. ... That triangle has the same proportions as the much larger triangle ABC, and therefore, if the distance B'C to the thumb is 10 times the distance A'B' between the eyes, the distance AC to the far landmark is also 10 times the distance AB. ... The most distant objects our eyes can see are the stars, and they are very far indeed: light which moves at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, would take years, often many years, to reach them. ...
