... 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. ...

Head [2] and Spudis [1] suggested in their reviews that the existense of the structure identified later as the South Pole - Aitken baasin was first predicted on the basis of a relief analysis of the mountain ridges observed in the libration zone be Hartman and Kuiper [7], i.e. after the first images of the lunar far-side had been obtained. ...

... The Mosaic Data Capture Agent (DCA) plays a central role in connecting the raw data stream from the NOAO CCD Mosaic controller system to the rest of the data handling system (DHS). ... The major subsystems of the DCA at present are the message bus interface, an event loop and event handlers for processing message requests, a distributed shared object implementation, a keyword database system, the TCL interpreter, and a TCL­based keyword translation module. ...

... Just one: a very stringent requirement on the relative positions of Earth and Mars at the time of launch. ... Suppose the spacecraft which has landed on Mars is a robot , which collects a sample and immediately takes off again for its return trip. ... Since Earth and Mars constantly change their relative position, it stands to reason that if we sufficiently delay the return trip, Earth will move from position (2) relative to Mars to position (3), at which time the return trip can begin. ...

About Zones of Resonant Returns of Asteroid Apophis . ... Asteroid Apophis is one of extremely dangerous NEOs. ... Using analytical and numerical tools, we investigate the loss of precision after the Earth approach in 2029 and the possible approach in 2036. ... Possible trajectories of collisions with the Earth have been found analytically and numerically in this chaotic region. To construct these trajectories we used quasi-random intermediate motions, made up from resonant collision orbits. ...

We cannot observe the way the distant universe accelerates cosmic rays or produces energetic photons, but acceleration processes also occur on our Sun , though on a much more moderate scale. ... That is why such events are often missed by cosmic ray detectors near the equator, where the lowest energies are excluded by the Earth's magnetic field. The best detectors for observing solar particles are therefore those sensitive to the lowest energies of the cosmic radiation. ...

... First of all I would like to mention about the vanishing cohomology associated to the Milnor fibre of the isolated hypersurface singularity. We review the results on the Milnor number (local and global) by Kouchnirenko (Inventiones math. 32, No1 (1976), 1-32) and then roughly sketch the formula of Hodge numbers given by Danilov (FAA, 13, No.2(1979),32-47). ... The Hodge structure of the cohomology of an affine hypersurface in an algebraic torus will be discussed. ...

... The storm began quite unexpectedly. The strongest geomagnetic storm for the last seven months began on Earth almost precisely at the same time as the solar eclipse reached its maximal stage, the culmination of which occurred at GMT 02:35 (06:35 Moscow time). ... Oscillations of such amplitude in the magnetic field have not been observed since October, 11th of last year, which is more than seven months ago. ... We can only add that the magnetic storm lasted approximately 9 hours. ...
