From: TerryMosel aol.com Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2005 11:43:56 EDT Subject: Deep Impact, Sunspots, Weird Planet, Shuttle Launch Hi all, 1. DEEP IMPACT: As you probably know, the Deep Impact impactor probe is due to smash into comet 9P / Tempel 1 at about 05.50 UT on 4 July. ... WEIRD NEW PLANET: On Thursday a group of astronomers announced finding perhaps the most bizarre extrasolar planet yet: an object with a core of heavy elements that may amount to 65 - 70 times the mass of Earth. ...

... 2007 June 19 . Eris: More Massive than Pluto . ... Explanation: Eris , a dwarf planet currently orbiting the Sun at about twice Pluto's distance, has been measured to have about 27 percent more mass than Pluto. The mass was calculated by timing the orbit of Eris' moon Dysnomia . Images taken with a ground-based Keck telescope , when combined with existing images taken by Hubble Space Telescope , show that Dysnomia has a nearly circular orbit lasting about 16 days. ...

... The star formation rate (SFR) of the current SF episode can be estimated from the total H luminosity. ... For the derived total flux F (H )=5.8 erg s -1 cm -2 we obtain a total H luminosity of 10 39 erg s -1 . ... The total mass of ionized gas can be obtained from the average mass density inside the H II region and its volume. An average mass density corresponding to the average electron density of 1 cm -3 within a volume with a diameter of 0.5 kpc yields a total ionized gas mass of 10 6 . ...

... To save time, I will only provide ephemerides in 2000 coordinates. ... Note: most the orbital elements used to create these ephemerides were obtained from the International Astronomical Union Circulars (IAUCs), Minor Planet Circulars (MPCs) or the ICQ Comet Handbook. ... The following 1-day ephemeris (March 1, 1997 - October 1, 1997) is from Donald Yeomans of JPL and is based on Reference Orbit #55 (March 4, 1997). 2000 coordinates (March - September, 1997) [3/4/97] . ...

... This limited extent suggests that the currents which disturb the field flow somewhere nearby, probably near the auroral arcs. ... Any electric current, however, must flow in a closed circuit, and since it seemed to be caused (like that of the aurora) by processes taking place in distant space, Birkeland proposed that it came down from space at one end of the arc and returned to space at the other end. ... The electric energy needed to drive the current is taken from the motion, which is slowed down....

... The choice of which type of electricity is called "positive" and which "negative" was made around 1750 by Ben Franklin, early American scientist and man of many talents (the stamp on the left commemorates his role as first US postmaster--and colonial postmaster before that). ... Franklin knew of two types of electric charge, depending on the material one rubbed. ... Later, when electric batteries were discovered, scientists naturally assigned the direction of the flow of current to be from (+) to (-...
