... Bad Astronomy . ... Keep Bad Astronomy close to your heart, and help make me filthy rich. ... The length of the shadow depends on the height of an object (like a mountain or a human) and how high up the Sun is. ... We can calculate the length of the shadow if we know the Sun's angle above the horizon and the object's height. ... The Earth spins 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it spins 1 degree in 4 minutes; that in turn means the Sun moves 1 degree every 4 minutes in the sky. ...

... This applet generates an observing list based on an observer's location and time. ... To use this program, enter in your location, and the local times at which you wish to begin and end observing. The date you enter should correspond to the calendar day at the time at which you begin observing. For example, if you wish to observe from 9:37 PM October 23, 2007 until 3:21 AM October 24, 2007, you would enter 21:37 for the starting time, 03:21 for the finish time, and 10/23/2007 for the date. ...

... Configuration The dictionary accepts one obligatory parameter - RULES, which has to be set to the file describing parsing rules and output recipes. ... Each non-empty line is either a comment (when started with '#' symbol), or a conversion rule, and in the latter case has to contain whitespace-separated pattern and output recipe. Currently, pattern has to match the _integer_ (one, two or more) number of input tokens; they will be replaced with a single one. ...

... Heracles Triplane and Aerospace Systems . The key characteristics of two-stage aerospace systems are determined according to speed and carrying capacity of the aircraft-carrier used . ... So the SPIRAL system hypersonic carrier was expected to launch the second stage by weight 63 tons at a speed corresponding to 6M; whereas launching weight of the MAKS system orbital stage with the use of the An-225 MRIYA heavy subsonic aircraft reaches 275 tons, and the HERACLES aircraft - 450 tons. ...

... The parameter y   characterizes the ratio between the gravitational and magnetic ``properties'' of a star and will, therefore, be called the gravimagnetic parameter . Two magnetic rotators having quite different magnetic fields, subjected to different external conditions but with identical gravimagnetic parameters, have similar magnetospheres, as long as the accretion rate is quite low ( ). ... For isolated rotators, the accretion rate  yr is assumed. ...
