... The ancient chronical said about the colour rings around the Sun and the Moon, about three suns in the sky, light columns, bright lightning, different "comets" rushing to the Earth, moving among the stars or round the Earth with the sky. All these occurrences may be divided into three categories: one that occur in the near or far space, processes going on in the Earth atmosphere under the influence of cosmic factors and at last the occurrences connected with the Earth atmosphere. ...

Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. A low altitude polar orbit is widely used for monitoring the Earth because each day, as the Earth rotates below it, the entire surface is covered. ... A different choice was made for MAGSAT, orbited 1979-80 to survey the Earth's own magnetic field near its surface. ...

Next: Reducing the observations Up: PEPSYS general photometry Previous: Influencing the plan . ... If the telescope and instrumentation are unfamiliar to you, you may have trouble keeping to the schedule for the first night or two, so try to work with a previous observer on the equipment for a night or two of training before your observing run. If you fall behind, try to keep as many low-altitude observations of extinction stars as you can, and drop some circumzenithal ones if necessary. ...

... One of these works directly on an event list, avoiding the losses which occur when events are binned into images. ... A much better solution would be to avoid forming images at all and apply maximum likelihood to the raw event list. ... Rapid access to the event data was also essential. ... Simulating a suitably realistic sky with added sources takes long enough in the image domain, the generation of a sufficiently large set of photon-event lists with similar properties would have taken even longer....

... Precisely one month ago, on 11 July 2009, the last active area of the new solar cycle disappeared from the surface of the Sun. Over the 30 days following this, neither observers on Earth nor devices in space have been able to detect the emergence of any sunspots. ... Therefore, it seems that our star has once again returned to a state of deep solar "winter", following several sparks of activity in May-June 2009. ... To date, this period has lasted 30 days. ...

Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ...
