Nearly four centuries ago, Galileo's simple observations of Earth's planetary sibling, Venus, buoyed the proponents of a Copernican universe. ... The Italian astronomer had settled into a new house in Florence and had begun to observe Venus, which in November 1610 would have appeared as an evening star, bright in the western sky after dusk. ... From these two observations, Galileo inferred that Venus must orbit closer to the Sun than does Earth. ...

... In spite of the good potential possibilities, some of the station "Dnepr" design characteristics did not allow us to apply the usual special IS radar measurement methods. ... Thus for IS signal measurements at the "Dnepr" station, we have developed special methods for recording and processing IS signals in order to determine plasma ionospheric parameters. ... Equations (4-5) from the basis for data post processing to obtain ionosphere parameters. ...

System of astrometric databases of Pulkovo observatory. ... The purpose of these observations is the determination of precise coordinates of Solar system bodies, which is necessary for development and improvement of motion theories, and for studying the evolution of the Solar system. ... Accuracy of photographical observations is about 0.2-0.3 arcsec for equatorial coordinates and 0.1-0.3 for relative coordinates of planetary satellites, depending on object and observational conditions. ...

A Terra Hunting Experiment at the INT Rationale To detect smaller mass planets (down to 1Mе) using the radial velocity technique, we need to be able to retrieve a signal in the limit of stellar variability noise. ... Such an observing program is not feasible with a non-dedicated telescope. To address this, we are proposing a "Terra Hunting Experiment" to be performed using a close-copy of the HARPS spectrograph installed on the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) in La Palma. ...
