The programming language FORTRAN is the principal language for scientific and technical computations. ... It has recently been carefully revised, resulting in a modern and powerful language, Fortran 90. The intent with this new standard is to make Fortran into a useful and efficient language for the scientific and technical computations also towards the end of this decade. ... This tutorial therefore contains an Appendix on the recent proposed addition to Fortran, High Performance Fortran. ...

... The existing package features many applications which are required for the next generation telescopes under development (e.g., multi-field, multi-scale, and wide field imaging algorithms, full primary beam Stokes I,Q,U,V imaging, automated and interactive statistical data editing, flexible calibration and self-calibration based on the telescope measurement equation; we highlight some of this functionality and discuss the future directions for the applications and underlying technology. ...

... The Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) is now a mature and largely well-characterized instrument. Information already available through the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook and the HST Data Handbook is fairly complete. In this update we provide additional information obtained from recent studies of the instrument, as well as calibration plans for the WFPC2 and a short note on present and planned imaging capabilities for HST. ... Calibration: Calibration of WFPC2 continues. ...

A very important stage in a story of formation of any new science is the shift from discussion of situation which are possible but do not occur in practice due to some reason to recognition of real phenomena of interest. ...

... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...
