Pulkovo NEO Page . ... NEA Accuracy Estimation . ... The estimation of accuracy of the current CCD observations of asteroids and comets is constantly performed at Pulkovo Observatory. ... The (O-C) values, so called "Observed" minus "Calculated" positions, characterize numerically the observations of any observatory, both professional and amateur, during a short period (one or several close nights). ... So the (O-C) values for these objects nearly entirely define the errors of observations. ...

... The Sun has come all of one day away from breaking its record for the longest period of inactivity for the last decade - reaching a mid-summer low and falling into yet another state of "hibernation". Yesterday, on the first day of autumn, new sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun following an absence of almost 50 days. ... The first low lasted 51 days, from 21 July until 11 September last year. ... Now, almost a year later, it seems the Sun has hit a new low almost as "deep" as the first. ...

A genius makes his own rules, but a `how to' article is written by one ordinary mortal for the benefit of another.. Most things that an article such as this one can say have at least one counterexample in the practice of some natural born genius. Authors of articles such as this one know that, but in the first approximation they must ignore it, or nothing would ever get done. ...

PENTICTON SOLAR RADIO FLUX VALUES (from SGD Explanation of Data Reports) Daily Solar Flux Values - Penticton -- Daily measurements of the integrated emission from the solar disc at 2800MHz (10.7cm wavelength) have been made by the National Research Council of Canada since 1947. ... The data are tabulated in two forms: the "observed flux" (S), and the "adjusted flux" (Sa). ... The "observed flux" values are useful in ionospheric physics and other terrestrial consequences of solar activity. ...
