Astronotes Armagh Planetarium's Stellar Blog! ... Stars . ... Space Flight . ... Some 13.7 billion years ago, a mere millionth of a second after the Big Bang, the first hydrogen and helium nuclei condensed out of a hot, dense soup of quarks and gluons. ... In the very last few kilometres some of the light was scattered by a myriad of water droplets (containing hydrogen nuclei which had existed almost since the Big Bang) slowly descending through the air following a rainshower. ...

Super Rocket Targets . NPO MOLNIYA has been designing rockets-targets for over 30 years using the great experience in crea-ting anti-aircraft guided rockets (AGR) for C-25M. On the basis of B-300 anti-aircraft rockets which expired their service life, there were designed, tested and put into the serial production the following types of the rocket - ... The analogue of this system successfully passed the state tests with the ZVEZDA-4 rocket-target. ...

... SHORT TERM PREDICTION OF POWER SOLAR FLARES FROM SSRT DATA . The algorithm for short term prediction of powerful solar flares, based on SSRT data, includes microwave emission characteristics in total and polarized flux, the structure of active region (AR) magnetic field at the photospheric level, and H a patrol data. ... During this period, 7 AR's crossed the solar disk, in which 20 flares of importance ? ... Data on AR's and magnetic fields were received from the Sayan observatory by teletype. ...
