For many years, CCDs had much higher quantum efficiency in the Red than in the blue because the devices were physically thick (200-300 microns of material). In the blue, the absorption depth for photons in silicon is only about 2000 angstroms (1/2 their wavelength) and typically the electrodes are insulated by poly-silicate gates which are around 5000 angstroms thick. ... In what follows, we offer several examples and images taken with wide field CCD systems. Page 3 . ...

... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...

Magellan to Venus . ... The spacecraft carried a sophisticated imaging radar, which was used to make the most highly detailed map of Venus ever captured during its four years in orbit around Venus from 1990 to 1994. After concluding its radar mapping, Magellan also made global maps of Venus's gravity field. ... The Magellan mission was divided up into "cycles" with each cycle lasting 243 days (the time necessary for Venus to rotate once under the Magellan orbit). ... Magellan Orbiting Venus . ...
