Midnight And Noon . Articles | ... Never call 12 Midnight, 12 a.m. Never call 12 Midnight, 12 p.m. Never call 12 Noon, 12 a.m. Never call 12 Noon, 12 p.m. Always refer to the 12 o'clock during the middle of the night as 12 Midnight . ... Hence to express the time from 12 noon to 12 o'clock at night, we use the term p.m. and from 12 o'clock at night to 12 o'clock noon we use a.m. However 12 o'clock midday is neither ante meridian or post meridian. ... www.astronomy.net .

Next: The hardware and software Up: Keeping Time Previous: Keeping Time . ... Since the Earth is round, noon happens at different times in different places. This leads to the concept of local time . ... As soon as you need to communicate with distant places, you'll notice the need for a common time. ... Each local time is called a time zone. ... Other countries do not do this. ... In the US and some other countries, the local time zones have a name and a three letter abbreviation. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

... A good way to keep track of these concepts is the space-time diagram . ... The usual convention is that time runs up the diagram, so the bottom is the past, or early times, and the top is the future, or late times. ... The space-time diagram above shows particles with different velocities. ... The fancy light picture on the left shows both the past and future light cones of the event where the two worldlines cross, while the schematic version on the right is easy to use in more complicated diagrams....

. On the plot the days are shown along X axis and Universal time along Y axis. The regions in the first satellite positions are shown by the regions symbols and colour. The time intervals of the conjugation between considered couple of the satellites during day are shown as a 'wide boxes'. The corresponding numerical file contains the coordinates of both satellites during magnetic conjugations. Dr. Victoria Prokhorenko . Modified 17 June 1999
