Our calculations show that although the Newtonian model works very well for almost all practical purposes for the well known showers during present epochs, there could be some exceptional combinations of orbital elements for which the general relativistic precession in argument of pericentre and its influence on nodal distances could become significantly pronounced and decisive for predicting any earth-meteor intersection. ...

According to the # 7.1. of the Acting Statutes/Regulations on the International Astronomy Olympiad there should be an Authorized National Representative (Astronomical) Organization (ANRAO) in every participating state: A national astronomical society, a department (section) of the EAAS or IAU in the state, a leading observatory, an astronomical department of a leading university, a ministry of education or another appropriate competent institution. ...

... This plug-in enables you to add various types of lighting effects to your (RGB) image. ... Directional light . ... Well, you get the idea :) The default settings for this light-type is [-0.5,-0.5,-1.0]. ... Higher values makes your image reflect a lot of light (appear lighter or more intense), while smaller values makes it appear more dull or matte. ... A value of 1.0 makes your image very shiny (bright high-lights) while smaller values makes you image less shiny, making the high-lights dimmer. ...

... Transforms a qpoe file according to the specified parameters. ... Any type of filtering can be applied to the input qpoe file, including region filtering. In addition, the size of the output event record can be different from the size of the input event record. Of course, usually one makes the output record equal to or smaller than the input. If the output record size is made greater than the input record, a warning is issued and the ``extra'' part of the record is undefined.) ...
