The term "astronaut" derives from the Greek words meaning "space sailor," and refers to all who have been launched as crew members aboard NASA spacecraft bound for orbit and beyond. Since the inception of NASA's human space flight program, we have also maintained the term "astronaut" as the title for those selected to join the NASA corps of astronauts who make "space sailing" their career profession. ...

... Active Region 1002 on an Unusually Quiet Sun . ... Credit Copyright: SOHO Consortium , EIT , ESA , NASA Explanation: Why has the Sun been so quiet recently? ... Our Sun has shown few active regions -- that house even fewer associated sunspots -- for over a year now, and such a period of relative calm is quite unusual. ... A few days ago, however, a bona-fide active region -- complete with sunspots --appeared and continues to rotate across the Sun's face. ... A Filament Across the Sun . ...

LARGE-SCALE PHENOMENA AT THE SUN ASSOCIATED . WITH FILAMENT ERUPTIONS OUTSIDE ACTIVE . ... Considering the 12.09.1999 event as an example, we analyze manifestations of large-scale disturbances associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) caused by filament eruptions outside of active regions. ... The filament eruption occurred in relatively weak magnetic fields, but it was accompanied by larger-scale phenomena than flare events do. ...

We present UV and optical spectropolarimetry of two highly polarized IRAS-selected quasi-stellar objects (QSOs), IRAS 13349+2438 and the broad absorption line QSO (BALQSO) IRAS 14026+4341. ... We construct full radiative transfer models of these systems consisting of a dusty sphere of modest optical depth illuminated axisymmetrically from within by a power-law QSO spectrum. We show that this simple model successfully reproduces the qualitative polarization properties of the objects. ...

In this report, we discuss an approach to construction of information searching systems based on dynamic chaos and intended to operate in computer networks, local area or Internet. Also we discuss an application of this technology to the problems of searching for information in unstructured text databases with natural-language requests. ...

The total radiative power output from the hot outer layers of six late-type stars (of different spectral types and luminosity class) is derived via an emission measure technique. This analysis was based on observational data from the spectral range 100A to 3000A obtained as a result of three separate satellite missions, i.e. Hubble Space Telescope, International Ultraviolet Explorer and the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer. ...
