An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . SUPERNOVA 1987a . This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the remnant of a supernova a star that blew itself to pieces. We first saw the light of the explosion on Earth in 1987, and this image was taken in 1994. The remnant of the explosion itself is the blob of stuff in the center; the rings are regions of material ejected by the star earlier in its death throes. ... Return to An Ancient Universe . ...

... They normally have 1 hz resolution. hp1: this is the LO for the rf to if1 mixing (1st lo) . hp2: this is used to generate the 2130 Mhz signal for the sband. 250 Mhz from downstairs gets added to this to generate 2380 Mhz which then drives the sband exciter.

To check our setup, we generated a birdie at 8446.231359 Mhz (with the hp83712 synth downstairs). ... hp83712 hp2 as sband synth . ... hp83712: downstairs, agc works, but only has KHz resolution . ...

... Measurements of magnetic fields on scales larger than galaxy clusters are needed to distinguish between fields generated in the primordial Universe and those generated at later epochs, with implications for particle physics, cosmology, and astrophysics. ... In this talk I will review mechanisms for generating magnetic fields across cosmic time, implications for post-recombination physics, and current observational constraints on intergalactic magnetic fields. ...

... He was born in Cholmogory - a village where one generation before him saw the first Russian observatory and Lomonosov was able to use the angle gaude. ... But the atmosphere of Venus was so "rich" that no only during four last years of Lomonosov's life, but even two centuries after his death the astronomers didn't go far away from his investigations. 200 years exactly after "the star year" of Lomonosov in 1961 the Soviet spaceship - the first in the world went to Venus. ...

... In the US and in other mid-latitude countries north of the equator (e.g those of Europe), the sun's daily trip (as it appears to us) is an arc across the southern sky. ... Moss avoids direct sunlight, and with the sun's path curving across the southern sky, the north side of a tree-trunk is the one most shaded. ... In addition, they are invariably tilted at an angle around 450, to make sure that the arrival of the sun's rays is as close to perpendicular as possible. ...

... A test for the determination of the nature of the generation of spiral arms in galaxies is proposed. ... Studies of the dependence of the shape of spiral arms on the nature of the mechanism for their generation (gravitational or hydrodynamic) are currently lacking; as shown in this paper, the locations of vortices relative to the spiral arms, together with the observed rotation curve, may serve as a promising test to address this question. ...
