... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week , I talked about the inner ring around Supernova 1987A, and a little bit about what we learned about it from early Hubble observations. ... No one knows exactly when the bulk of the supernova debris will hit the ring. ... If the fastest moving debris had finally hit the ring, we'd expect to see more of the ring get hit! ... As the debris hits the ring, it will light up once again, and we will once again see the ring in all its glory. ...

... The most powerful and widely used methods to calculate the scattering matrix of a fractal cluster are based on the coupled dipoles methods (e.g. the Discrete Dipole Approximation, DDA) and the theory of light scattering by a cluster of spherical particles [2-4]. ... At present the procedure of calculation of the scattering matrix is well developed for both an oriented cluster of spherical particles and for chaotically oriented clusters of such particles [4]. ...
