... A brand new telescope that is still being built, called ALMA, has already made its first discovery! It has spotted two planets orbiting the star shown in this photograph, which are among the coldest planets ever found. ... Only about a quarter of ALMA s 66 dishes were ready to use when the astronomers discovered these planets. ALMA may be still under construction, but it is already the most powerful telescope of its kind," says Bill Dent, one of the astronomers reporting the new discovery. ...

... These Frontier Fields will combine the power of HST with the natural gravitational telescopes of high-magnification clusters of galaxies. ... We are soliciting gravitational lensing maps for the last four Hubble Frontier Fields clusters (MACSJ0717.5+3745, MACSJ1149.5+2223, AbellS1063, and Abell 370) based upon the exceptionally deep HST FF imaging and other new ancillary data. ... For the full set of proposal instructions and requirements, see the FY16 Frontier Fields Lensing Map Call for Proposals....

... Forum: The Linux Kernel Hackers' Guide . Re : Can I make syscall from inside a kernel module? ... If you want to use a system call within a kernel module then export the system call using EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. A better solution would be to use mlock in the user space before entering the kernel (ie. write a wrapper function for your entry point that would lock pages in for you before it enters the kernel) This in my opinion is a cleaner solution than exporting sys_mlock. ...

... The Sun . Does anyone know how many stars are there in the solar system? Come take a look at the Sun. See that? ... Did you know all the stars you see when you look up are inside our galaxy! ... Did you know that our Sun and solar system were born in a cloud of gas and dust like this. ... We're looking at a place where stars are being born. ... Sharing the Universe is based upon work supported by the Informal Education Division of the National Science Foundation under Grant no DRL-0638873. ...

... The Porpoise Galaxy from Hubble . ... Just a few hundred million years ago, NGC 2936, the upper of the two large galaxies shown, was likely a normal spiral galaxy -- spinning, creating stars -- and minding its own business. ... Its exact full phase (June 23, 11:32 UT) will occur shortly before it reaches perigee, the closest point to Earth in the Moon's orbit, and make it the largest Full Moon of 2013. ... APOD Turns Eighteen . ... The first APOD appeared eighteen years ago today, on 1995 June 16. ...

... The expansion is measured as a number called the Hubble Constant . ... Our value is about 20% lower than the one got with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1994," said Dr Jim Lovell, leader of the team that made the measurement. The Hubble Constant is named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, who in the 1920s found that other galaxies were moving away from ours. ... The Hubble Constant links the galaxy's distance with its speed." ... A short run-down on the Hubble Constant: . ...

Call it a halo, call it an aura, call it anything you like...whatever you call it, it's a SUPER simple effect to do with the GIMP, and it looks pretty damn nice. ... Contrast Autostretch . ... Let's start out with some familiar text in the Frutiger font, 100 pixels, anti-alias 3: . ... Well, we've got the text, and we've got the outline, but that's too boring to combine just yet...let's run a Contrast Autostretch on the image, and then change the Green gamma with the BCG filter: . ... Happy GIMPing! ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

... Using UNIX System Calls and Library Functions . ... To use system calls and library functions in a C program we simply call the appropriate C function. Examples of standard library functions we have met include the higher level I/O functions -- fprintf() , malloc() .. ... For most system calls and library functions we have to include an appropriate header file. e.g. stdio.h, math.h . ... Information on nearly all system calls and library functions is available in manual pages. ...

... Report on Cosmic Call 1999 . ... Cosmic Call Sessions . ... This Report outlines methodology, hard- and software, which were developed to transmit first public Interstellar messages from Evpatoria Deep Space Center (EDSC), and describes four Cosmic Call Sessions, which were fulfilled in EDSC on May 24 and June 30 - July 1, 1999. ... Each Cosmic Call consists of two parts. ... Dutil Message, . ... The software for gathering all messages and creating the Cosmic Call stream, was written on C language. ...

William Gilbert . The north-south pointing property of the compass needle was discovered in China around the year 1000, and in 1600 William Gilbert in London showed that this could be explained by the entire Earth being a huge magnet. As a model for the magnetic Earth he used a spherical magnet, which he called "terrella" , the "little Earth." He moved a small compass over the surface of the terrella and demonstrated that it always pointed towards its magnetic poles. ... Magnetic Fields . ...

... In this paper, we present an interactive signal-processing environment called Grid. ... Grid is a graphical interactive multi-threaded signal-processing environment which allows the creation of complex arrays of algorithms (called units within Grid) by simply choosing the desired units from a selection of toolboxes then graphically wiring them together. Figure: Grid's ToolBox window consists of a section which lists the available toolboxes and another showing its associated tools. ...

... Of course, at the time, I did not realize that the phone call that night would alter the course of my life.It seemed like a normal phone call, nothing out of the ordinary, just a call from Sam asking me to meet him the next day. ...

... After all we cannot send a probe to the star Altair to confirm that it is 17 light years away. ... The "Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni was about ten light years away" Earth goes around the Sun in one year, so in six month it is in the opposite position in its orbit. ... In 1838 Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni had a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds and therefore the star was about ten light years away (today the distance is more precisely measured to be 11.4 light years). ...
