... Kepler's Laws . ... Second Law . 12a. More on 2nd Law . ... Kepler's 2nd law prescribes the way the velocity V of an object orbiting a single center varies around its orbit: . The rate at which the line to the center ("radius vector") covers area does not change around the orbit." As noted in section #12 , this means that the object's velocity V increases when its distance r decreases, and vice versa. ... Because by Kepler's 2nd law, the Earth moves in its orbit a little faster in winter. ...

Race to the Planets Family Event Sample Agendas Family ASTRO Leader Kits and Guides are designed to contain enough materials and activities for two full family events. ... What's Next: As families leave, make sure they know about the date and time for your second Race to the Planets session and that you'll want to know how they did playing the "Surfing the Solar System" game. ... If there are any planets visible in the night sky, a nice follow up to this family event is a planet observing session. ...

Q: Are the magnitudes in the ETCs AB or Vega magnitudes? ... Q: How is the signal to noise defined? A: In optical and infrared imaging, the applications display a signal to noise over the PSF area, which is computed in a circle of radius seeing/plate_scale. ... In optical imaging only, a second signal to noise is computed which is the signal to noise at the central pixel. ... A: The template spectra stored in the database are measured or simulated spectra covering different wavelength range. ...

... 2009 July 30 . 6 Minutes 42 Seconds . ... Explanation: The July 22nd total solar eclipse was the longest of the 21st century . From the point of maximum eclipse along the Moon's shadow track across the Pacific Ocean, the Moon completely blocked the Sun for a total of 6 minutes and 39 seconds. But from the deck of this cruise ship the duration of the total eclipse phase was extended to a whopping 6 minutes and 42 seconds by the ship's motion along the shadow track. ... About APOD | ...

... The first time you acquire an object you must include the overhead for the guide star acquisition. ... If it is larger, then the observer can choose to maintain pointing through the gyros (drop-to-gyro) or re-acquire the guide stars (3 minute overhead per re-acquisition-note that this is not the 6-minute orbit re-acquisition) every time the telescope goes back to the target; with the first option the pointing uncertainty is about 1 milliarcsec/second due to telescope drift. ... Exposure overheads: ....
