The following pages contain some examples of what you can do with my merge-anim script.. I tried to minimize the size of the images on these pages (all animations are smaller than 50 Kb), but you will probably have to be patient anyway. ... Adding a background to an animation . ... It merges a background (or top) layer with all other layers in an animation. ... I will probably add some options for applying a layer mask to an animation or applying an animated mask to a static layer. ...

... Another significant contribution to the crystal energy of metals is the electron-ion interaction or the electron bandstructure energy (E BS ) which is defined by the interaction of valence electrons and the Brillouin zone (BZ) planes. ... The program BRIZ has been developed for 3D visualization of Brillouin zone configurations and intersections of BZ planes with a Fermi sphere[4]. ... 1.75 (electrons/atom). ... 4] Degtyareva V.F., Smirnova I.S.: BRIZ: a vizualization program for Brillouin zone ? ...

... This experiment makes use of a novel an sophisticated CCD imaging design whereby by 4 2048x2048 detectors are butted together to form a single 4096x4096 pixel detector system. ... Figure 4 (1.1 Megs) shows an example image from one of the LMC fields that is searched for gravitational microlensing amplification of stellar brightness. ... Figure 5 (124 Kbytes) shows an image of NGC 253, taken with this camera and a 320x512 RCA CCD which has 30 micron size pixels. ... Page 5 . ...

An example of galaxy that shows a double-component structure in the HST/ACS image. North is up and east is left. ... The thumbnails of the HST/ACS I band (effective wavelength = 814 nm), the Subaru Telescope/Suprime-Cam NB711 and i'- and z'-bands are shown from left to right. Note that the NB711 image, which captures the Lyman-alpha line emitted by neutral hydrogen, shows spatially extended gas which is ionized by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from many massive stars. ...

Astronomy Picture of the Day . ... Two Armed Spiral Milky Way . ... Spitzer s Milky Way . ... The Spitzer Space Telescope's encompasing infrared view of the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy is hard to appreciate in just one picture. ... The timing of the bright passage was about 10 minutes after the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery on the STS-124 mission from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, in the southeastern US.

Databases (NSDC) of the Natural Planetary Satellites. ... NSDC: Database of astrometric observations of Natural Planetary Satellites . ... They are thoroughly looking for observations in different sources, creating their owndatabases which are then mostly inaccessible to other researchers. ... In the file "content" with explications, the reference is given to the data source as well as the bibliographic reference. ... Data sources. ...

SOHO/EIT AND YOHKOH/SXT CHAINS . ... SOHO/EIT AND TRACE CHAINS . ... Please note that practically all modified Nobeyama, SOHO/EIT, Yohkoh/SXT, and TRACE images are presented here in the grey scale, inverted (negative) form, i.e. the bright sources look as dark, and the absorption features looks as white ones. ...

... You are worried that this light wing structure might not be strong enough to be safe. The article explains that an airplane can fly because the air exerts a force, called "lift," on the wings such that the lift is always perpendicular to the wing surface. ... To turn, the pilot "banks" the plane so that the wings are oriented at an angle to the horizontal. ... The article states that tests show that the new wing structure will support a force 4 times the lift necessary for level flight. ...

Turning the Camera Skyward . A reconfigured camera can take wide-field exposures of astronomical objects (constellations, the Milky Way, zodiacal light, moving artificial satellites, meteor showers, variable stars, etc.) to reveal much fainter objects and structures than seen by naked eye. ... This picture reveals objects more than 2.5 times fainter than can be seen by the naked eye, including not only stars but also the Orion nebula (M42), where new stars are being born. ...

... As a result of BTA observations of 23 chemically peculiar stars with strong magnetic fields, it was found that in 22 of them the longitudinal magnetic field, measured from the hydrogen line cores are considerably lower (by about 1/3) than the value measured from metal lines in the same spectra. ... New approaches need to be developed in order to interpret the data. ... The Zeeman spectrum of a star with a strong magnetic field, 53 Cam. ...
