. Space vehicle "Magellan". The most detailed snapshots of Venus's surface were made with the help of the american apparatus "Magellan", lanched by the astronauts of a Space membership "Atlantis" in May 1989. The regular radiolocation servey, leading for several years, allowed to get the Venus surface survey with resolution not less than 300 m. Back .

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed.

... It is generally accepted that the mechanism, widely known as the Antikythera mechanism, was made in Rhodes at the height of the Roman Republic, as the island was known as the source of interesting mechanical automata. You can tell just by looking at it that the device is part of a larger object, and it is also obvious that there are geared wheels and other rotational elements within it. The device undoubtedly is an early computer and could be seen as the first planetarium. ...
