Today's forecast has both good news and bad news, and since I always prefer the bad news first, you don't have a choice. The bad news is that today the moon is the furthest away from the earth, which means it has little or no effect on fish and wildlife. Fish will not be migrating in a predictable pattern to feed. Instead, they feed when their environment provides the best conditions to successfully...
The Universities Space Research Association (USRA) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for participation in a USRA-NASA sponsored Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) Observation Campaign. USRA is working with NASA's Ames Research Center (ARC) and George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) to coordinate the Observation Campaign for LCROSS. The Observation Campaign is designed...
Astronomers believe a mystery object that gave off 40 visible light flares is a magnetar, which would neutralize all credit cards on Earth from a distance halfway to the moon. Artist’s Impression of a Magnetar Credit: ESO/L.Calcada One way to preserve our fishery commons is to use catch shares, where all fisherman are allowed to take a share [...]
In a post yesterday, I talked about the Moon orbiting the Earth, and the Earth’s gravitational sphere of influence, called its Hill sphere. If you have an object orbiting the Sun (like a planet, say), anything inside that object’s Hill sphere is more affected by that object than it is by the Sun. I knew [...]
It follows the Earth on our yearly trips around the sun. It’s a constant companion, ever changing and moving across the sky. It’s our moon. And it can be one of the trickiest objects to photograph. It’s existence as a wonderful reflector of light, most of the time against a black night sky, and [...]
Europe is participating in a big way in the Indian Space Agency's Chandrayaan-1 mission to the Moon, by contributing three instruments. All these instruments have now been delivered, tested and integrated with the spacecraft. The Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft is now at the Indian Space Research Organisation, ISRO's facilities in Bangalore, India. Delivery for each instrument is completed once the hardware...
Every now and again I get an email from someone who tries to tell me that the moon orbits the Sun more than it orbits the Earth. On the face of it, their claim appears to hold water. For example, they’ll say that if you compare the orbital velocity of the Moon around the Earth (about [...]
Three Chinese astronauts arrived in Beijing to a joyful homecoming parade, after returning from a mission that included China's first spacewalk and put the country closer to building a space station and landing a man on the moon.
(quote) China left its mark in space history Saturday, successfully turbocharging its space program into an orbit that could see a Chinese man walk on the moon before the U.S. has a chance to get back there in 2020. Shenzhou Vll has been successfully orbiting 343 kilometres above Earth every 90 minutes since it blasted off from the Jiuquan launch centre in northwest Gansu province on Thursday night....
