... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . The Armagh Human Orrery is the first large-scale outdoor exhibit to show with precision on the ground the positions of the main planets, a dwarf planet and two comets. It is an innovative education and learning tool designed to explain the motion of the planets around the Sun and the changing position of Earth, relative to those planets, as it too revolves around the Sun. ...

... A document window is shown, with 8 lines (numbered 1 to 8), each 24px high. The text of the "outer" box (at the end of line 1, halfway into line 2, and halfway into line 3) is shifted upward 12px. The text of the "inner" box, thought shifted upward as well, has been relatively positioned so that it lies in its normal flow position at the end of line 2. ... The lines, as they appear in the image, contain: Start 1 Beginning of body contents. 2 of outer contents. Inner contents. ...

... Just one: a very stringent requirement on the relative positions of Earth and Mars at the time of launch. ... Suppose the spacecraft which has landed on Mars is a robot , which collects a sample and immediately takes off again for its return trip. ... Since Earth and Mars constantly change their relative position, it stands to reason that if we sufficiently delay the return trip, Earth will move from position (2) relative to Mars to position (3), at which time the return trip can begin. ...

... Abstract Compute the geometric position of a target body relative to an observing body. ... Detailed_Output pos contains the position of the target body, relative to the observing body. ... Particulars spkgps_c computes the geometric position, T(t), of the target body and the geometric position, O(t), of the observing body relative to the first common center of motion. Subtracting O(t) from T(t) gives the geometric position of the target body relative to the observer. ... Link to routine source . ...

... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...

A typical radio dataset might be a 3-dimensional "cube" named AURORA, with axes RA, DEC and FREQ. ... These can be specified by giving the axis name(s) and grids for each subset. For instance, AURORA specifies the whole 3-dimensional ``cube''; AURORA FREQ 3 specifies the subset FREQ=3 (i.e. the RA-DEC plane at FREQ grid 3) of the set AURORA. ... Specifying only the axis name, and no grids, selects all subsets along that axis: AURORA FREQ selects all RA-DEC planes in AURORA. ... axis centre. ...

... The first column shows the kinematical diagrams, where is the angle between the line of sight on the object and the vector of rotation about Z -axis, and V S is objects line-of-sight velocity relative to an observer at rest at the position of the Sun. The straight lines are regression fits, whose slopes yield the subsystem’s rotation rate. The second column shows the relations between metallicity and distance from the Galactic plane. ... privious figure | next figure . ...

... The experience of determination of the link between radio sources and dynamical reference frames is presented. To obtain this connection we used a series of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the spacecraft Phobos-2 and angularly nearby quasars. ... The dynamical reference frame is determined by equator and equinox of these ephemerides. ... References . ... The relative orientation of the radio and dynamical reference frames can be described by a sequence of three rotations . ...
