Here are a set of pictures which progress from the original through a couple intermediary images to the final, rather 60ish looking final image. This is the original image, created using some PD fonts and some mucking around with the BCG plug-in. The original logo has been extruded a bit using the displace plug-in. A web is created by using the wave plug-in, duplicating it and rotating it 180 degrees, and adding the two pieces together. The original logo is then placed over that. ...

... It is possible to change the meaning of keywords (to `overload' them), but it can be confusing, primarily because your new commands may not behave the same way that this manual claims. ... If you said box in your macro, then overloaded the keyword, you'd have a macro that called itself. ... Another example is that (when overloaded) lines saves the line numbers used, so that you can write a macro to print the top 10 lines of a file (it's called head ). ...

In this case no hysteresis occurs and transitions E -- P and the reverse take place in symmetrical points of the orbit. ... Here EP means a mixed state of the rotator at which it is in the ejector state during one part of the orbit, and in the propeller state during the rest of the orbital cycle. ...

... It was developed co-operatively by scientific institutions in the USA, Great Britain and Russia to carry out studies on the thermal infrared radiation of the Martian atmosphere. ... The Martian atmosphere consists of 95% carbon dioxide. ... Despite the "hidden" water on Mars, its current role in the planet's life is quite significant: it can even be a regulator, which keeps the content of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at a constant level. ... a) how large are the water resources on Mars? . ...

... But light has many more secrets. For example, did you know that the light that we can see with our eyes is only one of many types of light? ... This is because when people are talking specifically about the type that we can see with our eyes, they usually only call it light when they should actually say visible light . While our eyes can only see visible light, special cameras can detect the other types. Things look very different when you photograph them in a different type of light. ...

... Mechanical Orrery by Gilkerson An orrery is a mechanical device designed to illustrate the motions of the planets in their orbits about the Sun. ... Tiles are indicated at 16-day intervals for the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars), at 80-day intervals for Ceres and the two comets, and 160-day intervals for Jupiter and Saturn. ... The most dynamic feature of the Human Orrery is its capacity to explain Kepler's laws of planetary motion in a fun and interesting way. ...

Examples of pipeline processing . ... This page presents examples of "on the fly" processing of FITS astronomical data available on the WEB using the HyperLeda pipeline tools. ... In many cases, raw data are archived and a consisten description of the file (FITS header) allows to process them on the fly. ... This first command makes a "pre-view" display of the image. o=fa:L93111HP1/00147&z=vg . ... The result of a pipeline processing is a FITS file that you can read as a normal disk file. ...

Since the light from galaxies represents the integrated contribution of its consitutient stars, then we can learn about stellar populations in galaxies by modelling their light by summing up individual stellar spectra for different kinds of stars. ... The data cover the wavelength range 3500 - 9000 angstroms. ... Retrieve Digital Stellar Spectra Click on the appropriate spectral type. ... Note that the designation V means main sequence, IV means subgiants, III means giants, I means supergiant. ...

... Right: Corresponding scan tracks for the same date ( red ) and previous dates ( blue ), which cover about 2/3 of the map area (the field was completed on June 15). ... The I-GALFA survey area is divided into several fields with different declination ranges. ... By starting each subsequent night at a different position, we can cover the entire map area by ``weaving'' many such tracks together to build up a complete image of the sky brightness at all positions in the field. ...

An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . THE CHANGING UNIVERSE: EVOLUTION HAPPENS! . b) Changes in Stars . One of the great discoveries of modern science is that stars (like people) live only a measurable life-time and then die. Although the lives of the stars are enormously longer than the span of a human life, we can learn about the life story of the stars by studying them at many different stages in their life cycle, from birth to death. ...

... Bad Astronomy . Misconceptions . ... Bad Astronomy : The Moon only shows one face to us because it is not rotating. Better astronomy : The Moon only shows one face because it is rotating, once every time it revolves around the Earth. ... Place the Moon model on the table about 30 centimeters (one foot) away with the X facing the Earth model. ... You'll see that to keep the X facing the Earth model, you have to rotate the Moon model as it goes around the Earth model . ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...
