... SUN MOON MERCURY VENUS MARS, JUPITER SATURN . ... Mars . ... Marks on martian dunes may be tracks of dry-ice sleds . ... New research points to chunks of frozen carbon dioxide, commonly called dry ice, creating these "linear gullies" on Mars by gliding down sandy slopes on cushions of carbon-dioxide gas sublimating from the dry ice. ... She suspected a role for dry ice in forming linear gullies, so she bought some slabs of dry ice at a supermarket and slid them down sand dunes. ...
... The spectrum of the brightest star, our Sun, shows several dark gaps perpendicular to the flow of it’s colours (figure 1). These so called spectral absorption lines where discovered in 1802 by the English scientist William Wollaston. ... Some stars as Pollux show a spectrum similar to that of our sun with strong Ca II and Fe II lines, others as Sirius or Vega show strong absorption lines of hydrogen, others, as Mira show very complicated spectra due to molecular absorption lines (see figure 5). ...
... The fitting package in STSDAS (Space Telescope Science Data Analysis System) relies on two basic techniques (one linear and one non-linear) for fitting functions to data. ... Results show that both methods may generate biased coefficients (at the ~few percent level), and over or under-estimate error bars (at the ~10 percent level), in particular from low signal-to-noise data. ... Function coefficient errors are computed directly from the covariance matrix. ... Abscissa is signal-to-noise. ...
Winer Observatory P.O. Box 797, Sonoita, Arizona 85637-0797, USA . ... The building is about 106 ft. long by 26 ft. wide and is divided into two parts: a shop area to the north, 54 ft. long by 26 ft. wide with parapet walls containing the control room, and the observatory area 52 ft. long by 26 ft. wide. ... Shop Wall Counterforts . ... The shop roof is suspended between parapet walls, that is, the walls are higher than the roof, to permit the observatory roof to roll unimpeded over the shop roof. ...
Apollo 15 . Return to Apollo 15 . ... AS15-86-11659 (1 Aug. 1971) --- Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, holds the Lunar Roving Vehicle from sliding downhill during the second Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity. ... The rover was parked facing downhill on a 15 to 20 degree slope. Astronaut David R. Scott, commander, took this photograph. Scott was performing other tasks while Irwin held the rover. ... In the foreground a lunar rake lies atop a mound. ...
... This is combined emission from all the gas clouds circling the black hole, between 0.1 and 10 light years out. ... These are the expanding clouds of gas left behind when a massive star comes to the end of its life and explodes, producing a supernova. ... Also known as the Veil nebula, a vast and beautiful whispy nebula left over from an exploding star. ... The Crab Nebula (120kb). ... Carbon Star (120kb) Red giant stars, surrounded by clouds or carbon dust. ... 3500 K star (64kb) , like Aldebaran. ...

S. Loaring,3 L ... We measure highly significant Baldwin effects for most broad emission lines (C IV 1549, C III] 1909, Mg II 2798, H ,H ) and show that they are predominantly caused by correlations with luminosity, not redshift. ... The correlations of log W with log(1 + z ) for each line. ...
