Catastrophism : . ... During the late 18th and early 19th century, a German mineralogist, Abraham Gottlob Werner, proposed that all of the Earth's rocks were formed by rapid chemical precipitation from a "world ocean," which he then summarily disposed of in catastrophic fashion. Though not directed toward the genesis of landforms in any coherent fashion, his catastrophic philosophy of changes of the Earth had two major consequences of geomorphic significance. ...

... The active time at each angular bin is the sum over frames of the active time contributions from all CCD pixels, within the node-specific telemetry window, which overlap the surface of the bin. ... The active time, per frame, of a normal pixel is the full frame integration time multiplied by the node-specific fractional exposure; bad pixels contribute no active time. ... If an event is rejected for this reason only, then its pixels remain normal in the exposure map. ...
