Use of site data in telescope operation and adaptive optics. ... Recent conferences on this subject (2007, 2008) demonstrated great interest of the community, hence the need for a new meeting. ... Unlike previous recent conferences, this meeting will cover all aspects of site monitoring for optical/IR astronomy. ...

The Russian Parliament will soon consider a bill that would restructure the Russian space program, 35 years after the launch оf Sputnik. ... But the legislation's most striking and controversial feature is a provision that would ban testing and deployment оf space weapons ? including anti-satellite weapons and space-based missile interceptors. ... A draft bill was written by a group of experts within the Moscow Space Club, several of whom now work on space issues with the Russian Parliament. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Mad Science . ... Keep Bad Astronomy close to your heart, and help make me filthy rich. ... I read in your archives that: "The black hole will slowly radiate away?. ... Since this represents energy leaving the black hole, it will slowly release all of its mass in this fashion." ... If a pair of particles is produced which gets its rest mass energy from the gravitational field of the hole, and one particle is lost, then there will be a decrease in the energy of the hole. ...

... During all period of our investigations Dr. N.Sumzina from the Institute of Applied Astronomy of RAS had prepared the Numbered Minor Planet positions from MPC Database for our processing with kind permission of the Director of Minor Planet Center Prof. Braian Marsden. ... Our extensive processing of the MPC data allows us to conclude that CCD observations of the Numbered and Unnumbered Minor Planets have the errors, sometimes very crude. ...

Isaak Newton (1642 - 1727). ... During 1665 - 1667 Newton made his three main discoveries: the method of fluxings and quadratures (differential and integral calculus, explanation of the light nature and the law of gravitation). ... In 1668 Newton built the first reflecting telescope. The big lens telescope gave indistinct image with painted edges. ... The scientist considered this problem indisolved and suggested a mean against chromatic aberration: a mirror must be used instead of objective lens. ...

... Structure of Data . ... Catalog . ... In SAI OCL Catalog, we introduce our work on investigation of the Milky Way system of open star clusters. The main goal of our study is a search for new clusters using huge surveys. 168 new clusters have been already discovered by us using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS point source catalog. ... For 141 new clusters, we found their physical parameters using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS catalog and, for a number of clusters, our UBVRI CCD observational magnitudes. ...

... SUPER RATIO . ... On this page I will present the most important (on my opinion) idea on Intellegence Life in the Universe . ... On the problem of the Super Ratio in astrophysics" . ... As a matter of fact, this is the main problem of the modern natural science. ... Here I shall try to speak about the most important problem of the modern natural science, the problem which is undoubtedly, of more importance than discovery of Blacks Holes, creation of Grand Unification Theory or Artificial...

... Satellite data ] . SMIS ] . The program calculates the satellite orbit using ephemeris data in either predict-telegrams (APT predict, TBUS data) or 2-line NORAD format (TLE data). It determines the start and finish times of acquisition session and stores the data for antenna control during the receipt onto the hard disk. The program creates session schedules, supports selection of specific regions for observation and automatic filtration of satellite passes over the selected regions. ...

... We guess it's almost impossible to create the site nowadays where all space relative philatelic materials (postage stamps, stationary, postal marks etc.) would be registered and presented. ... We tried to make such a step in April 2005, placing at the site first images of postage stamps with portraits of astronauts (cosmonauts, spacionauts, taikonauts:). ... All illustrative material (or simply speaking, all scans of stamps) are grouped in four sections: Countries , Years , Astronauts and Flights . ...

Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the circular polarization of maser radiation from a turbulent, Keplerian disk that is intended to represent the sub-parsec disk at the nucleus of the galaxy NGC4258. ... This turbulence, along with the Keplerian velocity gradients and the blending of the three hyperfine components to form the 6 16 --5 32 masing transition of water, are key ingredients in determining the appearance of the polarized spectra that are calculated. ...
