... The Round Earth . ... Aristarchus around 270 BC derived the Moon's distance from the duration of a lunar eclipse (Hipparchus later found an independent method). ... Let R be the radius of that circle and T the time it takes the Moon to go around once, about one month. ... Viewed from Earth, a "new Moon" (occuring between the time a thin crescent is last seen before sunrise and the time one is seen shortly after sunset) happens when the Moon in its apparent motion around the sky overtakes the Sun. ...

... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

. F IGURE . 10. Dependence of cluster metallicity on (a) Galactocentric distance and (b) distance from the Galactic plane. The filled and open circles correspond to the young and old halos, respectively, and the straight lines are the corresponding rms regressions. The small square shows the old-halo cluster excluded from computations based on a 3 criterion. discussion in the text | privious figure | next figure .
