Next: M.D. Smith, Research Astronomer Up: W.M. Napier, Emeritus Honorary Previous: W.M. Napier, Emeritus Honorary . Recent years have seen a downgrading of the threat assessment due to impacts from comets and asteroids. ... Bill Napier, however, has been using new approaches to the problem and finds that the celestial hazard due to impacts may be a factor 5 higher these estimates. ... These bodies may constitute the dominant impact hazard in the 100,000 megaton range. ...

A Proton Arc Over Lake Superior . ... Credit Copyright: Ken Williams Explanation: The setting had been picked out -- all that was needed was an aurora. And late last August, forecasts predicted that an otherwise beautiful night sky would be lit up with auroral green . ...

Geomagnetic storms and substorms are a natural hazard similar to hurricanes, floods etc. ... Solar and geomagnetic activity also probably influences the Earth's climate and human health. ... Under southward directed IMF the Earth's magnetosphere is open to input from the solar wind flow. ... Since practical importance of solar wind measurements was recognized, a number of approaches was developed for prediction of the geomagnetic activity basing on the solar wind data. ...

... Because the DMR instrument is differential and every pixel is multiply sampled, sky maps are produced by solving a coupled system of linear equations (the normal equations) to minimize a chi-squared. ... This is reflected in the algebraic form of the normal equations matrix, so that, if one were to diagonalize the matrix, one would find a single eigenvector whose eigenvalue was identically zero, and the associated eigenvector, viewed as a sky map, would have a constant value. ...
