... Edit the file oyster/usno/cronjob to contain the proper path to the update shell script, and then use the command . crontab cronjob . ... Otherwise, the database usno/mark3.dat obtained with the download will not be updated and eventually will not provide Earth orientation data for the date observed. In this case, a warning message will be displayed, which, however, can usually be ignored in all cases but astrometry. Christian Hummel 2015-04-28 ...

In first order the magnetic field created by this magnet is that of a dipole whose axis is tilted with respect to the spin axis by about 11 degrees. ... The difference between the dipole axis and geographic axis is one of the reasons why there are so many different coordinate systems needed to describe locations in space around the Earth. The area around the Earth governed by its magnetic field is called the magnetosphere . ...
