... 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. ...

When Earth and Mars are on opposite sides of the Sun, Mars appears relatively small. ... Since Mars is always more distant from the Sun than the Earth, Mars never shows a crescent phase to Earthlings. ...

You will need to understand how to set file access permissions numerically before reading this section. Every time you create a file or a directory, its access permissions are set to a predetermined value. ... The values in the mask are subtracted from these values to give a default value for access permissions for the files and directories created by you. For example: 777 (system value for directories) -077 (value of the umask) --- 700 (default access permission of rwx------) . ...
