... 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. ...

... The active time at each angular bin is the sum over frames of the active time contributions from all CCD pixels, within the node-specific telemetry window, which overlap the surface of the bin. ... The active time, per frame, of a normal pixel is the full frame integration time multiplied by the node-specific fractional exposure; bad pixels contribute no active time. ... If an event is rejected for this reason only, then its pixels remain normal in the exposure map. ...

... They had expected to see impact craters like those on the other terrestrial bodies and from their number per unit area to estimate the age of Io's surface. ... This may have been the most important single discovery of the Voyager missions; it was the first real proof that the interiors of other "terrestrial" bodies are actually hot and active. ... A nalysis of the Voyager images led scienties to believe that the lava flows on Io's surface were composed mostly of various compounds of molten sulfur. ...
