... The WFPC2 CCDs have a small b ut significant charge transfer efficiency (CTE) problem which causes some signal to be lost when charge is transferred down the chip during readout. This has the effect of making objects at higher row numbers (more charge transfers) appear fainter than they would if they were at low row numbers. The effect depends on the temperature of the CCDs. ... It is also possible that proportional losses for fainter stars, at least with no background, may be larger. ...

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. ...

The spatial distribution of stars in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 has been studied, using recent positions and deep photometry for about 15,000 stars in the galaxy. Based on photometrical data, OB stars and red stars could be studied separately. Spatial statistical tools have been applied to the analysis of the spatial structure. ...

... 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 ). ...

Imagine that you are doing particle physics experiments. You fire a beam of sub-atomic particles of mass 4.0x10 -24 kg into your detector at a speed of 100 m/s. Most pass straight through undeflected, but one of them came out with its mass reduced to 3.0x10 -24 kg, its speed reduced to 80 m/s, and in a direction which was deflected by 2.4 degrees from its original path. You think that it must have ejected a particle of mass 1.0x10 -24 kg. ...
