Region markers can be moved, resized, rotated, zoomed, deleted, and can change geometric type. ... For example, markers placed on astronomical catalog positions should be fixed so that one cannot accidentally move them off the specified position. ... Parameters can be fixed using the fix option of the regions public access point (for fixing classes of markers) or by means of a fix keyword in the definition of an externally loaded marker. ... In the command: echo "regions fix all -position -size" | ...

... To move toward open analysis software, we plan to make the PROS regions subsystem available from processes outside of IRAF. We also plan to make the region descriptor parsing system available for purposes beyond the creation of masks, such as an interface to an image display program, accepting a region descriptor and generating commands to display the region on an image. ... Anticipating two kinds of new requirements, we reconsidered the design of the PROS region descriptor processing subsystem. ...

The night after the John Glenn program, I pitched the terraforming idea to my students. I asked them if they'd like to terraform Mars as a big class project; I wanted to throw the idea to them and see how they would react. Already I had a vision of splitting the class into several groups and having each group take charge of a portion of the project. ... Following my initial idea on how to conduct the project, I split the class into six groups, each student choosing his or her group. ...

... Great oppositions. ... Proxima Centauri. ...

... 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 previous example, Chapter 12, "Expanding Colored Squares Example," illustrates how to expand and contract the clipping region of a layer without changing the wrapping width of the layer.

... The concept of continuous solar wind developed in 1950's. First, Biermann (1951, 1957) observed comet tails as they passed close to the Sun , and explained the observed tail deflection by a continuous flux of protons from the Sun. Then Parker (1959) showed that the solar corona must expand, and called the outward streaming coronal gas 'solar wind'. ... The expanding solar wind drags also the solar magnetic field outward, forming what is called the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) . ...

Next: Scattering properties Up: Polarization properties (transmitted radiation) Previous: Linear polarization: wavelength dependence .

This is also demonstrated by Fig. 19 (lower panel) which shows the wavelength dependence of the factors of linear and circular polarization for particles of magnetite as was done by Shapiro ([ 1975 ]). ...

Thanks to Steven Schoch <schoch@sheba.arc.nasa.gov> we now have a version of telnet and telnetd that can (as long as you enable it with a new server and client option) enable a user to telnet to the telnetd and not be asked for a password if they send a certificate that is signed by a trusted CA (which you naturally configure yourself) for those users in the new /etc/ssl.users file. ...
