Apollo 15 . Return to Apollo 15 . ... AS15-91-12343 (26 July 1971) --- This view of Earth was photographed by the Apollo 15 crew as they sped toward the fourth lunar landing. The spacecraft was between 25,000 and 30,000 nautical miles from Earth when this photo was made. The United States (note Florida), Central America and part of Canada can be seen at the left side, with South America at lower center. Spain and the northwest part of Africa can be seen at right. ...

... In the left part of the screen the items of ephemeris menu are situated. To the right one can see corresponding settings. In case the newly introduced settings are incompatible with each other or with other ones (it can be the result of improper change of previously existed setting or, what is virtually the same, result of violating the order from top down in which settings must be introduced) the warning notice appears on screen and conflicting settings are marked by special symbol. ...

Distributions of RR Lyrae stars in distance (a)from the Sun and (b) from the Galactic plane.The shaded part of the histogram corresponds to stars with known proper motions.The curve in the left histogram is a power-law approximation for the growth of the number of stars with distance in the intial sample for R < 1.75 kpc. is the power-law exponent. The dip in the right distribution near Z ? 250 pc is due to selection effects. discussion in the text | next figure .

... Cost­E#ective System Management Skip Schaller Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Abstract. Quality system management of computer workstations for as­ tronomy can be achieved with relatively small manpower requirements, if the right cost­e#ective administrative design decisions are made. ... The system is designed so that one doesn't depend on four or more hosts, (such as a software server, cpu server, data file server, font server, etc.) to get work done. ...

SCATTERING AND POLARIZATION PROPERTIES OF THE NON-SPHERICAL PARTICLES N.V.Voshchinnikov Astronomy Department and Sobolev Astronomical Institute, St.Petersburg University, St.Petersburg 198504 Russia ABSTRACT The albedo and dichroic polarization of spheroidal particles are studied. ... The consideration is based on the solution to the light scattering problem by the Separation of Variables Method (Voshchinnikov and Farafonov, 1993). The work was partly supported by INTAS (grant 99/652). ...

... The circumnuclear GASEOUS disks are often decoupled from the circumnuclear stellar disks and are even stronger inclined to the outer disk planes; in fact, we have found a considerable `population' of inner polar rings. Inner gas polar rings are found as in spiral galaxies with the massive outer gas disks co-planar to the main symmetry planes (e.g. NGC 2841, Sil'chenko et al. 1997, and NGC 7217, Sil'chenko & Afanasiev 2000) as well in many lenticular galaxies (Fig. ...
