... 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. ...

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: ....

... We have measured this "redshift" for the pink black holes, and allowed for it in our calculations. ... We see this effect in the emission from gas around these pink black holes, but it is far too small an effect to account for the pinkness. Thus the swirling motions of gas around or into the black holes cannot produc the colour. ... At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...
