... connection points . ... The point P3 is the connection between the horizontal and vertical actuators and is the axis of rotation for the tail gunner motion. processing: survey/020204/reduc We can compute P3,P5 (the moveable points) in dome centerline coordinates if we have the actuator distances and we know the positions of the above connection points in dome centerline coordinates for a given position of the tertiary (say the nominal focus position).(see actuator distances to dome centerline ). ...

... The system is based on two straight lines ("axes"), perpendicular to each other, each of them marked with the distances from the point where they meet ("origin")--distances to the right of the origin and above it, the origin being taken as positive and on the other sides as negative (see drawing below). ... One system (" polar coordinates ") uses the length r of the line OP from the origin to P (i. e. the distance of P distance to the origin) and the angle that line makes with the x-axis. ...

... An OBJECT column gives the name of the object observed (usually a star name). ... In critical cases, it is common practice to measure sky on two or more positions around a target object, and these positions must be identified. ... A general treatment of this problem requires a column called OBJECT, bearing the usual name of the object (as in the star tables); a column labelled STARSKY, to distinguish between star+sky, star alone, or sky alone; and additional columns to identify the sky position. ...

ТљIn written science fiction, one often encounters another navigational convention, where towards the Galactic Centre is described as т??Corewardт??, away from the Centre towards the rim of the Milky Way is т??Rimwardт??, objects in the direction of the Galaxyт??s rotation are т??Spinwardт??, while objects in the opposite direction are т??antispinwardт?? ...

... 2000 October 19 . The Farthest Explosion Yet Measured . ... What is known is that satellites across our Solar System reported on 2000 January 31 a tremendous explosion of gamma rays had occurred towards some previously uninteresting direction. ... The VLT not only recorded an optical counterpart , shown above , but also was able to estimate that the cosmologically-induced redshift was an astonishing 4.5 -- placing GRB000131 farther across the universe than any explosion so measured. ...

... The greater the distance, the smaller the parallax. ... That triangle has the same proportions as the much larger triangle ABC, and therefore, if the distance B'C to the thumb is 10 times the distance A'B' between the eyes, the distance AC to the far landmark is also 10 times the distance AB. ... The most distant objects our eyes can see are the stars, and they are very far indeed: light which moves at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, would take years, often many years, to reach them. ...

Converts from 3D space to a simpler 2D space – orders by magnetic field line (assumes dipole geometry). McIlwain's shell parameter (L) is a measure of “equatorial radius.” ? labels a field line, even in a non-dipole field. Magnetic Field Intensity (B) – measure of “latitude.” L – Undefined for open field lines. B (static field model) doesn’t sufficiently order the XMM data due to dynamic environment . ...
