RUSSIAN . The Centre for Astronomical Data (CAD) of the Institute of Astronomy (INASAN) of the Russian Academy of Sciences was established in 1980 as a branch regional center of the Centre de Donnes Stellaire (CDS) with the purpose of astronomical data dissemination among Soviet and Eastern Europe astronomers and for providing the CDS with Soviet machine readable astronomical catalogues. The CAD archive is based on astronomical catalogues received from Strasbourg since 1980. ...

... The Magnetic Sun . ... Galileo had guessed they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, obscuring some of its light. ... It turned out that the Sun has a polar field somewhat like the Earth's, but that it reverses its polarity during each 11-year cycle. ... Sunspot fields were evidently produced by electric currents, and it was well known that such currents could be generated by a " dynamo process ," by the motion of an electric conductor (e.g. the flow of solar plasma) through a magnetic...

Астрономия и Космос Небесные тела Планеты и их спутники . Видимым парадом планет называется планетная конфигурация, когда пять ярких планет Солнечной системы (Меркурий, Венера, Марс, Юпитер и Сатурн) в своем движении по небосводу подходят друг к другу на близкое расстояние и становятся видны в одно время в небольшом секторе (10 - 40 градусов) неба. ...
