... Following the full moon on Monday, March 24, I was able to make use of a few brief periods totalling about an hour and a half before the Easter weekend to make some 160 galaxy observations at home in Coonabarabran using the 0.41m telescope. ... Because of being on holidays my resources for comparison purpouses were rather limited, and so I had to rely upon amateur contacts in Queensland to verify my memory of this galaxy, and also to obtain visual confirmation of the supernova. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

Linear frequency modulated continuous signals sounding method is relatively simple and has wide application in various special-purpose systems. ... Chirp signals which are applying for ionosphere channel diagnostics usually have10KHz/s -- 1MHz/s.

In Actor Prolog a resident is a special mechanism that helps processes to inspect state of other processes. A resident observes the state of a specified (target) process and if the state of the process changes (for instance, after message handling) it proves a specified predicate of the process. ... Work of the resident. ... Any change of the list of target processes or arguments of resident function results in activation of the resident and repeated collection of information in the target worlds. ...

... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above. The problem is actually not with Pluto, but with a very large number of other bodies in our Solar System which also satisfy this definition, but which are not called planets. Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...

... Shock is a non-linear plasma wave generated by plasma flow (Burgess, 1995). ... Shocks are thus places where plasma and field go through dramatic changes in density, temperature, field strength, and/or flow speed. If there is no plasma flow through the surface (Un <> 0) or there is no dissipation and compression across it, we talk about discontinuity only, not shock. ... Contact discontinuity . ...
