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. ...

... 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. ...

The turret floor sits on a set of rollers bolted to the feed tower. The rolling surface sits between the bottom of the floor and the rollers. ... The plot shows the roll of the turret floor during a turret spin (.ps) ( .pdf) from 26 to 340 degrees and back (roll is in the direction of rotation). ... If there were 6 sections of rolling surface you might expect this spacing to be 60 degrees (or some beat of the 60 degree spacing and the spacing of the fixed rollers). ...

... Changing a World . ... I was watching a PBS program about John Glenn's 1998 launch on the Space Shuttle when the idea first occurred to me. ... As the program went on to talk about space initiatives and what comes next for NASA, covering topics such as the International Space Station and Mars colonization, I began to realize how common-place some of this must be to my students, nearly all of whom have grown up in the post-Apollo era. ... All of this meant that I knew why I was interested in science....

... Change to Pulse Height Filtering to Mitigate Effects of Gain Sag in the COS FUV Detector . ... Changing Programs & Resolving Problems . ... Detectors . ... The COS FUV detectors convert each ultraviolet photon into a shower of electrons, for which the detector electronics calculate the X and Y coordinates and the total charge, or pulse height. Prolonged exposure to light causes the FUV detectors to become less efficient at this photon-to- electron conversion, a phenomenon called "gain sag." ...

Consequences of Impacts of Cosmic Objects in Circumstances of Changing Climate . ... The consequences of the impacts of asteroids about 1 km in size on the Earth are considered from the viewpoint of their negative effects under conditions when the climate changes. These effects are ejection of greenhouse gases, fires, changes in surface albedo, and global dispersion of asteroid material. ...

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). ...
