... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 14 January 1999, 0950 UT (RR) . Term 'global change' is used to describe the changes of the large scale weather systems on Earth , and especially the surface temperature increase, by man-made increase of atmospheric CO 2 . ... It is the last point that is of importance for space physics, since it is possible that also the changes in Sun 's activity could be causing some changes in terrestrial climate. ...

... Kieran Hickey of Armagh Observatory has been testing the link between increased temperatures in North-West Europe and the frequency of storms, as shown in the historical records of climate at Armagh and elsewhere. This is part of an on-going research project at Armagh into the nature of climate change in North-West Europe using long-term meteorological records. ... Some years have significantly more winter storms than others, possibly as a result of the North Atlantic Climate "Seesaw". ...

This is a copy of a Press Release from E.S.O. The most recent ESO observations of bright Comet Hyakutake have shown rapid changes in the innermost coma, within a few hundred kilometres from the cometary nucleus. This result has only become possible because of the unusual combination of a bright comet being near the Earth, together with the excellent imaging quality of the ESO 3.5-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT). ...
