... 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. ...

... It is only a matter of time before astronomers find an Earth-sized planet orbiting a distant star. We will naturally ask whether the planet is habitable or bears life. But will we be able to tell if there are bacteria, roaming dinosaurs, or even more advanced life? ... In the past twelve years, scientists have discovered more than two hundred large planets orbiting other stars, yet finding Earth-like planets is a fascinating and substantially more technologically demanding endeavor. ...

... It?s needs solution satellite?s orientation problem for defining location of sources of ionospheric emissions above Earth?s surface with necessary accuracy. There is possibility to define orientation of photometric devices by using TV images of star background. The CCD TV camera is designed for recording of images of star sky, Earth? limb and adjoining part of Earth? surface to fix the orbit point coordinates during the measurements by FAGOT and SICH-F devices. ...
