One Air Force officer, Maj. ... Jacobson was concerned about shuttle launch delays and wanted the MSEs to understand that his mission, i.e., the launch of national security payloads, dwarfed their mission, flights in space by Air Force personnel. ...

. Comment on J1842+7946 . Comparing the brightnesses of the two main features seen in our 5 GHz image with higher frequency VLBI images available in the literature (at 8.4 GHz from the USNO database and at 15 GHz by Kellermann et al. (1998)), one can conclude that the NW component has a steeper spectrum since the SE one becomes relatively stronger as the observing frequency increases. VLBApls home page .

... A non-linear relationship is observed between the sky brightness on clear and overcast nights, with a change in behavior near the rural to urban landuse transition. ... The great variation in skyglow radiance observed from site-to-site and with changing meteorological conditions underlines the need for a long-term international monitoring program. he introduction of artificial light has caused an unprecedented disruption to the nighttime environment over large areas of the Earth. ...
