This form calculates which transits of the 1039 known transiting exoplanets are observable from a given location at a given time. Specify a time window, an observing location (either an observatory from the list or choose "Enter latitude/longitude" at the end of the list), and optionally any filters (e.g. minimum transit depth or elevation). The output includes transit time and elevation, and links to further information about each object, including finding charts and airmass plots. ...

Hubble Finds Oxygen Atmosphere On Jupiter's Moon Europa . Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope (HST) have identified the presence of an extremely tenuous atmosphere of molecular oxygen around Jupiter's second moon, Europa . ... Europa's oxygen atmosphere is so tenuous that its surface pressure is barely one hundred billionth that of the Earth," said Principal Investigator Doyle Hall, of Johns Hopkins. ... The oxygen gas slowly leaks into space and must be replenished continuously. ...

Next: ANALYSE/ROMAFOT Up: The Interactive Path Previous: The Interactive Path . FIND/ROMAFOT frame [cat_tab] . This command works exactly like SELECT/ROMAFOT and therefore needs no detailed explanation. The only difference is that FIND/ROMAFOT , designed to select many stars, stores the positions of the objects in a catalogue table which has a different structure than then the intermediate table created by SELECT/ROMAFOT . This table serves as as input for the command ANALYSE/ROMAFOT . ...

Jupiter's volcano-pocked moon Io has been found by NASA's Galileo spacecraft to have a giant iron core that takes up half its diameter, scientists report in today's issue of Science magazine. The spacecraft also has detected a large "hole" in Jupiter's magnetic field near Io, leading to speculation about whether Io possesses its own magnetic field. ... Galileo scientists also are trying to determine the cause of the hole they found in Jupiter's magnetic field when the spacecraft was closest to Io. ...
