... Activity 3: Measuring the Position of the Sun in the Sky . Purpose: To give students the opportunity to measure the position of the Sun in the sky using simple tools and methods. ... Alternatively, you may have students devise their own methods of relative measurement and apply them to measuring the position of the Sun in the sky. ... Rangi is the sky, and when the Sun is near Rangi's head it is summer in New Zealand. ... Read the Maori story to students. ... back to Teachers' Newsletter Main Page ...

Actor Prolog is well adapted for implementation of different methods of visual programming. ... To create a source SADT diagram it is possible to use any diagram tools with IDL format support (like BPwin (TM) PLATINUM technology, Inc. or Design/IDEF (TM) Meta Software Corporation). ... Consequently, Actor Prolog has to create two processes and guarantee the capability of message transmitting between them. ... class 'Receiver': -- entry_i1; value_i1; -- con; -- [ goal:-!. -- show ( _ ) :-!, con ? ...

... Between them, the following points are touched: ICRF-2 structure, ICRF Core sources selection, and some expected user's requirements. ... Suggested total number of sources is close to the number of sources already observed in the IVS and VCS sessions, and for most of them reliable positions are derived, mostly for declination > -40 deg. ... So, results of source position time series analysis heavily depend on method used for time series computation and should be used with care. ...

... 22.Reference Frames . ... Inertial Forces . 23a. The Centrifugal Force . ... When calculating the motions of the oceans and the atmosphere, it is much easier to use reference points on the rotating Earth and add a centrifugal force to all equations. ... The rest arises because the Earth is not a perfect sphere: the centrifugal force of its rotation causes its equator to bulge out , making the surface there more distant from the Earth s center and thus weakening the gravitational pull. ...

... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Regularity and chaos for planetary orbits in binaries D. Benest Observatoire de Nice, Nice, France 1. ... Previous papers showed that stable planetary orbits, around either the lightest or the heaviest component of several nearby binary systems, exist up to distances from their primary of the order of more than half the binary's periastron sep­ aration. ... Chaos: bounded or sticky? It is now well­known that planetary dynamics may include some proportion of chaos. ...
