... 2013 November 27 . Comet ISON Rising . Video Credit Copyright: Copyright : Juan Carlos Casado ( TWAN , Earth and Stars ) . Explanation: Will Comet ISON survive tomorrow's close encounter with the Sun? ... Pictured in the above short time lapse video, Comet ISON was captured rising over the Canary Islands just above the morning Sun a few days ago. If the comet's nucleus survives, the coma and the tails it sheds might well be visible rising ahead of the Sun in the next few days or weeks. ...

In 2002 November the Earth will pass near the trails released at the 1866 and 1767 returns, i.e. 4 revolutions and 7 revolutions of the comet ago. The Earth's passage right through the centre of trails is associated with the most spectacular meteor displays (studies show that, as well as how close to the centre of the trail you are, the strength of the display also depends on how far along a trail's length you are). ...

... The parameter pgdev allows the user to specify a pgplot device, but, in contrast to the pgplot standard, the file name should not be included, but instead supplied via the parameter plotfile . ... To write a colour postscript file called op.ps: pgdev=/cps plotfile=op.ps . However note that at present, if a colour postscript device ( pgdev = `/cps'), a fits file ( pgdev = `/fits') or a ppm file ( pgdev = `/ppm') are selected, the task in fact bypasses pgplot and writes the postscript file directly. ...

Next: Introduction . ... A spike immunity method of digital integrating radiometer signals in the jamming environment is described. ... The purpose of the method is real-time signal processing, and the basic is an alternative selection of the least offset signal estimation using nonparametric "Nearest Neighbor" rule. ... The additive spike-like jam makes the "tails" of the distribution "heavier" which leads to different offsets for linear and rank mean estimation on the integrating interval. ...
