... Before the modern era of technological astronomy, to know anything about the Universe beyond our planet we relied on light. ... Historically the two rival ideas were that light was either a stream of tiny bullet-like particles or a wave wobbling its way through space. ... The light we see (visible light which is not the tautology it sounds) is only part of the electromagnetic spectrum, a great sweep of radiations which also includes radio, infra-red, ultra-violet, x-rays and gamma rays. ...

... Meta Index / Home Page / Description The earthbarycen task converts times expressed in the local satellite frame to Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB) at a given point on the Earth. ... The conversion of a satellite time tag to TDB requires the knowledge of the satellite's position at that time. ... In addition to the satellite position data, the time conversion algorithm in use by earthbarycen requires the barycentric vectors for the time period in question to be known a priori. ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... Despite vast increase in our understanding of the evolutionary nature of planetary nebulae (PNe) during the last three decades, a central question remains: where is the missing mass? Theoretical evolutionary tracks predict that all stars with masses in the range 1.4-8 M Sun should become PNe. ... Clearly, much of the mass of the planetary nebula shell must remain un-ionized, and much of it may be in molecular form. ... The Magellanic Cloud PNe are ideal for this. ...

The solar system probably formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a giant disk of gas, dust and ice in space. ... All forms of life on Earth require liquid water to survive, so the presence of liquid water is a good criterion for deciding whether other planets in the universe could be habitable. Earth is the only habitable planet in the solar system. Venus, closer to the Sun, is too hot to have liquid water. Planets and moons in the outer solar system are too cold for liquid water. ...
