He said it was close to Polaris, the North Star, but he also said it was in the East. ... It's natural, I suppose, to think that such an important star should be bright, but really, that's a conceit, like thinking that the Earth is at the center of the Universe.

The black hole. ... The black holes are generated in the result of a collapse of giant stars with the mass more than three Sun's masses. ... And moreover the gas near the neutron star or the black hole will get hot and will become a source of high energetic electromagnetic radiation in X-rays and gamma range. ... In the majority of double systems, being the sources of X-rays radiation, the invisible component mass does not exceed the two solar masses, so it is a neutron star. ...

... This past spring, as Comet Hyakutake decorated our evening skies, I received a telephone call from an upset parent.

They may be bright overall, but all that light is coming from a big area of space. ... OK, you say, I found Comet Hale-Bopp this evening. ... Does the comet have a tail? ...

... If Earth's sphericity is of prime importance as the ultimate cause of weather and climate, Earth's *ROTATION* is almost as important, although the atmosphere would still exhibit motions even if it wouldn't rotate. ... Take any one of those two conditions away,and these waves become mathematically impossible. ... The Coriolis force is the force directly caused by Earth's rotation, and should be mentioned when going into a more detailed description of the physics of Rossby waves. ...

The Apache HTTP Server provides a mechanism for storing information in named variables that are called environment variables . ... For additional flexibility, the directives provided by mod_setenvif allow environment variables to be set on a per-request basis, conditional on characteristics of particular requests. ...

... The choice of which type of electricity is called "positive" and which "negative" was made around 1750 by Ben Franklin, early American scientist and man of many talents (the stamp on the left commemorates his role as first US postmaster--and colonial postmaster before that). ... Franklin knew of two types of electric charge, depending on the material one rubbed. ... Later, when electric batteries were discovered, scientists naturally assigned the direction of the flow of current to be from (+) to (-...

This artist's concept shows plasma flows around NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft as it gets close to entering interstellar space. Voyager 1's Low-Energy Charged Particle instrument detects the speed of the wind of plasma, or hot ionized gas, streaming off the Sun. It detected the slowing of this wind тАУ also known as the solar wind тАУ to zero outward velocity in a region called the stagnation region. ...

... Very few of us can do something without the feeling that it can be done and done good. So, I want to say several words on the possibility of building the Open society in Russia. ... Even if we can't find long happy periods in the history, but can find ideas, which were original for Russia and the whole world, which were created by Russian philosophers, we can say that we can try to build the Open Society, because Russian way of thinking has something in common with the ideas of the Open society. ...

... In this talk we establish the following relation between the categories of representations of the two algebras: we show that the category of modules over the small quantum group is naturally equivalent to the category of modules over the big quantum group, which have a so called Hecke eigen-property with respect to representations lifted by means of the quantum Frobenius map from the category of representations of the Langlands dual Lie algebra. ...
