... ARTICLE: The Adventurous Search For The Astronomical Unit . ... Kepler himself had suggested to use the rare occasions of Venus transiting (crossing) the solar disk to measure our distance to the planet. ... Due to the orbital inclination of Venus against the ecliptic of 3.5°, a Venus transit is so rare that it happens only at intervals of 121.5 years, 8 years, 105.5 years, 8 years and so on. ...

... The paper tracks basic evolution of the Soviet rocket and space industry after the 1946 and analyzes "genealogical trees" of the original enterprises (NII-88, NII-885, OKB-456, etc.) to reveal typical features of this evolution. ... The paper tracks basic evolution of the Soviet rocket and space industry after the 1946, when an original set of institutions was established. ... The study demonstrates, that the evolution of the Soviet rocket and space industry is more complicated, than usually...

... I will touch upon the following points: ­ fast evolution of the sizes of quiescent (elliptical) galaxies between z = 2 and z = 1; ­ prolonged star formation histories of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group; ­ apparent lack of external sources of cold gas accretion for the nearby spiral galaxies; ­ old stellar ages and magnesium overabundance of the large-scale disks of nearby lenticular galaxies. ... This discovery has challenged the recognized scenarios of elliptical galaxy evolution. ...
