... The most powerful and widely used methods to calculate the scattering matrix of a fractal cluster are based on the coupled dipoles methods (e.g. the Discrete Dipole Approximation, DDA) and the theory of light scattering by a cluster of spherical particles [2-4]. ... At present the procedure of calculation of the scattering matrix is well developed for both an oriented cluster of spherical particles and for chaotically oriented clusters of such particles [4]. ...

Year after year, beginning in 1826, on every clear day, Schwabe would scan the sun and record its spots, until 17 years later he began to suspect a regular variation . ... Some, led by Rudolf Wolf, examined old records to reconstruct earlier sunspot cycles, while Edward Sabine in England in 1852 found a similar periodicity in magnetic...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... In 1959 the Government Decree enacted OKB-1 to initiate work on the development of ballistic rockets using solid propellant RT-1 with a warhead flight range of 2 500 km, a launch mass of up to 35 t, and a combat charge mass of 500 kg. In parallel, the tasks were pursued to implement work on RT-2 assuming the development of a ballistic rocket with a warhead flight range from 10 000 to 12 000 km and a combat charge mass of up to 500 kg. ...

Large-scale activity in solar powerful eruptive events of November 2004 by SOHO/EIT data, . ... Practically in all 9 events of this series, two recurring system of dimmings (regions of a decreased brightening with life-time of the order of 10–15 h ) were observed: (a) trans-equatorial dimmings connecting the north near-equatorial eruptive center with a south active region; (b) north dimmings covering a large sector between two coronal holes. ...

The discovery of a correlation between the light curve shape and intrinsic brightness has made Type Ia supernovae exceptionally accurate distance indicators out to cosmologically interesting redshifts. ... But supernovae are relatively rare events. ... Type Ia supernovae make excellent distance indicators, so these events at high redshift can be used to map out the history of the expanding Universe. ...
