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. ...

. This schematic diagram shows how scientists think the universe has evolved from the Big Bang to the present day. Data from the UKIRT, VLT, and Subaru observatories allowed astronomers to take four precise and comparable snapshots of the universe when it was, 2, 4, 6 and 9 billion years old, each containing hundreds of star-forming galaxies. By comparing the different snapshots, astronomers were able to accurately track what has changed over the past 11 billion years. // illustration by CXC/NASA/NOAO/KIPAC

. You can display the line by line difference between two files with the diff command. diff file1 file2 . The information given by the command tells you what changes need to be made for file1 and file2 to match. If there is no difference between the files you are returned to the shell prompt . diff indicates which lines need be added ( a ), deleted ( d ) or changed ( c ). Lines in file1 are identified with a ( < ) symbol: lines in file2 with a ( > ) symbol. Examples . Did You Know? .

... In constructing a long-term scheduler for ESO telescopes, Johnston, Chavan and Albrecht (1995) employed a cost function for installation of the IRSPEC since a one day instrument change time is needed in this case. ... In the case of CFHT, certain instrument changes require a telescope upper-end change (e.g. from cassegrain to coude). ... The scheduling strategy was modified to select observations on the basis of the upper-end and instrument being used. paragraph41em 1ex plus .5ex minus .5ex-1em . ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
