Solar system From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change Jump to: navigation search A to scale picture of the Solar System. Earth is number 3 A solar system is a phrase used in astronomy . It means a collection of planets comets and other objects moving around a star . The best known solar system is the one humans live in, the one Earth is in. The Earth moves around the Sun in an oval shaped, or "elliptical" orbit . The other planets in the solar system also move around the sun in elliptical orbits The biggest objects that go around the Sun are called planets . It took people many years of looking carefully through telescopes to find them. No new big ones have been found for a long time, but more small objects are found every year. Most of the planets have moons that orbit around them. There are 166 of these moons in the solar system.

83. Glish Solar System Client The immediate purposes for solar_system are to track the moon and planets with the The solar_system client program requires three data files in one http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~rfisher/Glish/solar_system.html

Glish Client for Computing Positions of Planets, Pulsar Pulse Delays, LST, Precession, Nutation and Aberration Table of Contents Introduction object track object doppler doppler fraction ... barycentric object XYZ coordinates Introduction This document briefly desribes the events recognized by the glish "solar_system" client program. This client is based on the JPL solar system ephemerides and the StarLink 'slalib' function set. This client is probably a temporary one, which will be superseded by more elaborate functions in the AIPS++ Measures system. The immediate purposes for "solar_system" are to track the moon and planets with the GBT software and to provide a few functions of general utility such as precession/nutation, aberration, UTC to LST and LST to UTC conversion, doppler calculation, and pulsar pulse delay. The client events decribed in more detail below are Event Name Input Value Record object_track [object=, mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=] object_doppler [object=, mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=] doppler_fraction [ra=, dec=, mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=] observer_position_velocity [mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=] pulse_delay [ra=, dec=, mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=] utc_to_tdb [mjd=, utc=] utc_to_last [mjd=, utc=] last_to_utc [mjd=, last=] j2000_to_epoch [ra=, dec=, mjd=, utc=] epoch_to_j2000 [ra=, dec=, mjd=, utc=] add_aberration [ra=, dec=, mjd=, utc=] remove_aberration [ra=, dec=, mjd=, utc=] set_observer_coord [x=, y=, z=] geocentric_observer_track [mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=] barycentric_observer_track [mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=] barycentric_earth_track [mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=] barycentric_object_track [object=, mjd=, utc=, num_pts=, interval=]

Home Latest Popular Nebulae ... About The Colors of the Moon Interested in a print? About This Photograph Is the moon really this colorful? In a way, yes. The lunar surface actually does have quite a bit of color, although in reality it is very subtle. In this photograph, the color saturation has been enhanced to bring out the differences in the colors of the various areas of the surface. The hues are correct, just much more vivid than we usually see them. Aside from making an interesting aesthetic presentation, the colors also give clues as to the mineralogy of the moon's surface. Also, at the sites of many impact craters we can see that deeper material exposed (and in some cases scattered) by the impact is of a different composition than the material on the surface.
