... 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. ...

Atmospheric Discharge in the Tunguska Disaster . ... Based on the fact that an explosion of the Tinguska cosmic body, which caused trees to fall over a wide area, and radiant energy release during the Tunguska disaster were separated in space and in time, it is proposed that these events are interrelated but of different origin. We propose that the emission during the Tunguska disaster was caused by an atmospheric discharge at altitudes of 10-90 km above the Earth's surface. ...

... The obtained results lead to the following conclusions: a) the heavy element enrichment had taken place in the Galaxy in a few bursts of its activity rether than in a continuons manner; b) these bursts occured during the callapse of the early Galaxy; c) the star formation had been inhibited in the time of the bursts; d) the metal enrichment did not proceed in the periods of star formation, between these bursts of activity. ...

... It is found that the correlation coefficients between these two parameters calculated separately inside and outside the sunspot formation zone ±30 have cyclic variation and occur in anti-phase. This suggests different mechanisms of formation of the corona in the fields of small, medium, and large scales. ... The relationship between the coronal green line brightness (CGLB) and the magnetic field strength (MFS) has been investigated by constructing the corresponding synoptic maps for the 1977-2001. ...
