... La preuve, cette annonce de l'ESO (European Southern Observatory), datГїe du 28 mars : "Un nouveau rГїsultat [...] montre que les planГЕtes un peu plus grosses que la Terre sont trГЕs communes dans la zone habitable autour d'Гїtoiles rouges de faible luminositГї. L'Гїquipe internationale qui a conduit cette recherche estime qu'il y a des dizaines de milliards de planГЕtes de ce type, rien que dans la Voie lactГїe, et probablement une centaine dans le voisinage immГїdiat du Soleil." ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...
