If you go out tonight and look up at the full Moon, and you're like most people, you'll probably see the face of a man, or, alternatively, a rabbit superimposed on the bright disk of the Moon. ... When people look at the full Moon, they often see either a Man in the Moon (left) or a rabbit in the Moon (right). ... The Face on Mars is a naturally occurring rock outcropping that just happens to look like a face when lit from the side. ... The Face on Mars,'' Odyssey , October 1991, page 12. ...

... Synchrotron emission of a jet in the strong radial magnetic field of an AGN is analyzed. ... Often observed multi-component structures can be explained by the single jet in the model, if the flow of relativistic particles from the active nucleus varies in time. ... It is concluded that a narrow jet of relativistic particles emitted by the synchrotron mechanism in the strong radial magnetic field of an active galactic nucleus can be a real model for variable extragalactic radio sources. ...

... Up: Software Systems and Tools . ... This case study examines the use of the latest software techniques for merging independent Java applets and applications. STScI's new Java interface to the archive, StarView II, will make use of the ST-ECF stand-alone FITS image viewer JIPA. We discuss how state-of-the-art software techniques like Remote Method Invocation (RMI), multithreading, and the Reflection API influence the design of a common interface between StarView II and JIPA. ...

... part 1 | ... The Basic Stages in Earth's Pre-geological Development . ... After fragments of the Vortex sleeves separated, whirlwinds of second and third orders ("NC" - new micro-vortex) were generated- future planet cores and their satellites - all of them developing independently, governed by the common laws of development of cosmogenic vortexes. ... Our planet's core today is comprised of considerably deteriorated cosmogenic vortex; consequently, the Earth has a moderated magnetic field. ...

... Research objects and scientific purposes . Space scientific program includes development and launch of two supersmall spacecrafts "Universitetskiy" and "Kompas-2" intended for monitoring of radiation conditions near the Earth. ... All the studies conducted in the near-Earth space are characterised by strong radiation fields. ... The circular polar orbits, which cover all the near-Earth space, are the most favorable for comprehensive studies of the radiation conditions near the Earth. ...

... Be Stars . ... Magnetic Stars . ... Magnetic fields in stars are common. ... The earliest star known to have a magnetic field is the O-star 1 Ori C, one of trapezium stars in the central cluster of the Orion nebula of spectral type O6. ... The non-existence of more rapidly rotating magnetic stars was thought to be an immediate consequence of the magnetic field: The field would help the star to get rid of angular momentum by forcing the wind into co-rotation, and so to brake down the star. ...

Such analysis allows detecting whether the sources of the largest anomalies reside within the Earth's core. This is possible if the limit depths of the sources exceed the depths of the core-mantle boundary. ... by Pasinok S.L. Influence of the Earth’s cover on the polar free oscillation of the Earth’s inner core is considered. ...

... GCR and SCR are primary cosmic rays. 10-15 years after the discovery of cosmic radiation (1919) there emerged two main avenues of investigation in the physics of cosmic rays (CR): 1) nuclear - elucidation of the origin of elementary particles and nuclear interactions; and 2) astrophysical (space physics) - solution of the problem related to the origin and variations (changes in intensity) of CR. ... Besides, the CR flux in interplanetary space is, strictly speaking, not isotropic. ...

May 2007 Astronotes 1 Life in Hostile Places by Tom Mason, Director When I was still working as a Geology professor in Africa, I spent a lot of time in Namibia researching ancient river and lake deposits, and finding fossil evidence of life in the Namib Desert when it was a more pleasant place to live, being much wetter than today. ... The critical combination of soil, water and sunlight allows lichens and algae to grow. ... But if there is water, there may be life. ...

... Remote Sensing of Fire Intensity and Burn Severity in Forests of Central Siberia . ... Increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive estimates of burned areas and of active fire areas are being produced using satellite imagery. However, accurate regional estimates of fire intensity, ecosystem fire effects, and fire emissions to the atmosphere require development of accurate remote-sensing based methods for estimating the intensity of active fires and the severity of fire impacts. ...
