... The <P> element is used to define a paragraph. ... The ALIGN attribute can be used to explicitly specify the horizontal alignment. ... Note: Do not use empty paragraphs to add white space around headings, lists or other elements. ... By convention, the class names are interpreted hierarchically, with the most general class on the left and the most specific on the right, where classes are separated by a period. ... You can then explicitly specify line breaks in paragraphs using the BR element. ...

... 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. ...

... Planets and Brown Dwarfs . ... Mission Definition . Ask anyone on the street to give an example of a planet, and they'll consider you a bit dim. ... Finally, if you ask "What is the exact scientific definition of 'planet'?", it turns out that nobody can answer it, because there really isn't one. ... The word itself means "wanderer" in Greek, and other cultures generally have words for "planet" with a similar meaning. So why isn't that good enough for us today? ...

... sin f = y / r . cos f = x / r . ... They are now viewed as new definitions of the sine and cosine, for the polar angle f given by x and y ( a slightly different way of formulating this definition is described further below ). ... sin 2 f + cos 2 f = 1 . ...

... The zeta function of the classical monodromy transformation of the germ $f$ is a topological invariant of it. Let us consider a parametrization (uniformization) of the curve $(C,0)$. The order of a function on $(C,0)$ as a function in the uniformization parameter defines a decreasing filtration on the ring of functions on the curve singularity. It appears that the Poincare series of this filtration (considered as a rational function) coincides with the zeta function mentioned above. ...
