The Cepheids of M100 . ... Credit Copyright: NASA , HST , W. Freedman ( CIW ), R. Kennicutt ( U. Arizona ), J. Mould ( ANU ) Explanation: Can this blinking star tell us how fast the universe is expanding? ... Cepheids variable stars are therefore used as distance indicators . By noting exactly how long the blinking period is and exactly how bright the star appears to be, one can tell the distance to the star and hence the star's parent galaxy. ...

When radiusstyle =`contour', the task calculates the source region shape as an elliptical locus which approximates the contour of the PSF at a given flux value. ... Clearly, in order to calculate the shape of such a flux contour, it is necessary firstly to normalize the PSF to the source brightness and secondly to determine the flux level (in `brightness' units per pixel) at which to find the contour. ...

The adopted extinction coefficient of 0.25 mag leads to the conclusion that the catalogue data has been obtained at the middle of 2-nd century b.c. at the latitude of +31 deg. Besides it is quite impossible for the catalogue to be worked out at more northern latitudes or to the south of + 26 deg. nor later than 2-nd century b.c. ...

... Since moonshine is really reflected sunlight, the full Moon is on the average slightly brighter in mid-winter, when Earth is closest to the Sun. In addition, the distance of the full Moon also varies, due to the ellipticity ("eccentricity") of the Moon's orbit. On 22 December, 1999, the two effects combined to produce the brightest full Moon of the century. ... This year will be the first full moon to occur on the winter solstice, Dec. 22nd, commonly called the first day of winter. ...
