Slipher and is
In 1912 Vesto Slipher measured the first Doppler shift of a " spiral nebula " ( spiral nebula is the obsolete term for spiral galaxies ), and soon discovered that almost all such nebulae were receding from Earth.
" Slipher reported the velocities for 15 spiral nebulae spread across the entire celestial sphere, all but three having observable " positive " ( that is recessional ) velocities.
* Large recessional velocities of galaxies by Vesto Melvin Slipher between 1912 and 1914 ( that led ultimately to the realization our universe is expanding ).
As already Vesto Slipher in 1912, Wirtz in 1918 observed a systematic redshift of nebulae, which was difficult to interpret in terms of a cosmological model in which the Universe is filled more or less uniformly with stars and nebulae.
Slipher died in Flagstaff, Arizona and is buried there in Citizens Cemetery.
* The crater Slipher on the Moon is named after Earl and Vesto Slipher, as is the crater Slipher on Mars and the asteroid 1766 Slipher, discovered September 7, 1962, by the Indiana Asteroid Program.
The crater Slipher on the Moon is named after Earl and Vesto Slipher, as is asteroid 1766 Slipher, discovered September 7, 1962, by the Indiana Asteroid Program.
Astride the southwest rim of D ' Alembert is Slipher.
Besides Slipher, the most notable of these craters is D ' Alembert Z intruding into the northern rim.
In the southwest, the floor is more irregular due to the outer rampart and layers of ejecta from Slipher.
Because it overlies D ' Alembert, Slipher is a younger formation and it has undergone much less erosion.
Slipher and lunar
* Slipher ( lunar crater )
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Slipher.
Slipher and crater
Slipher ( crater ) may refer to:
* Slipher ( Martian crater )
Slipher and located
Observers of spiral nebulae such as Vesto Slipher observed that regardless of their position in the sky, these objects ( now known to be separate galaxies ) generally exhibited redshift rather than blueshifts independent of where they were located.
Slipher and on
Slipher first reports on his measurement in the inaugural volume of the Lowell Observatory Bulletin.
* 1922 — Vesto Slipher summarizes his findings on the spiral nebulae's systematic redshifts
* The Royal Observatory, Edinburgh: History, Papers & External Links on V. M. Slipher
Slipher and .
This allowed him to estimate distances to galaxies whose redshifts had already been measured, mostly by Slipher.
In the 1910s, Vesto Slipher ( and later Carl Wilhelm Wirtz ) interpreted the red shift of spiral nebulae as a Doppler shift that indicated they were receding from Earth.
The existence of other galaxies and red shift was actually first discovered by the American astronomer Vesto Slipher.
Using the data collected by Vesto Slipher and his ( Hubble's ) assistant Milton Humason ( a former mule-driver and janitor ), Hubble and Humason found a direct relationship between a galaxy's distance and its relative speed away from the solar system.
Hubble supported the Doppler shift interpretation of the observed redshift that had been proposed earlier by Vesto Slipher, and that led to the theory of the metric expansion of space.
In 1912, Vesto Slipher made spectrographic studies of the brightest spiral nebulae to determine if they were made from chemicals that would be expected in a planetary system.
However, Slipher discovered that the spiral nebulae had high red shifts, indicating that they were moving away at rate higher than the Milky Way's escape velocity.
A third category was added in 1912 when Vesto Slipher showed that the spectrum of the nebula that surrounded the star Merope matched the spectra of the Pleiades open cluster.
Slipher and Edwin Hubble continued to collect the spectra from many diffuse nebulae, finding 29 that showed emission spectra and 33 had the continuous spectra of star light.
In 1929 the observatory's director, Vesto Melvin Slipher, summarily handed the job of locating the planet to Clyde Tombaugh, a 22-year-old Kansas farm boy who had only just arrived at the Lowell Observatory after Slipher had been impressed by a sample of his astronomical drawings.
Upon confirmation, Tombaugh walked into Slipher's office and declared, " Doctor Slipher, I have found your Planet X.
Beginning with observations in 1912, Vesto Slipher discovered that most spiral nebulae had considerable redshifts.
Slipher and Earl C. Slipher, astronomers
His brother Earl C. Slipher was also an astronomer and a director at the Lowell Observatory.
Slipher was born in Mulberry, Indiana, and completed his doctorate at Indiana University in 1909.
Edwin Hubble was generally incorrectly credited with discovering the redshift of galaxies ; these measurements and their significance were understood before 1917 by James Edward Keeler ( Lick & Allegheny ), Vesto Melvin Slipher ( Lowell ), and William Wallace Campbell ( Lick ) at other observatories.
is and lunar
The measured brightness temperature is a good approximation to the brightness temperature at the center of the lunar disk because of the narrow antenna beam and because the temperature distribution over the central portion of the moon's disk is nearly uniform.
The south tides in the Atlantic Ocean are semi-diurnal ; that is, two high tides occur during each 24 lunar hours.
* 1958 – Pioneer 0, America's first attempt at lunar orbit, is launched using the first Thor-Able rocket and fails.
Geologists believed prior to the mission that both of these formations were volcanic in origin ; however, samples returned from the lunar surface have since proven this hypothesis is incorrect.

Oh, that first foot on the lunar surface is super, Tony!
It is based on cycles of years, lunar months, and two-hour periods of the day ( the shichen ).
The parallax angle is given in the box to the right, and the angular diameter is known from lunar occultation measurements ( 41. 3 ± 0. 1 mas ).
Antares B can be observed with a small telescope for a few seconds during lunar occultations while Antares itself is hidden by the Moon ; it was discovered by Johann Tobias Bürg during one such occultation on April 13, 1819.

* A lunar calendar is synchronized to the motion of the Moon ( lunar phases ); an example is the Islamic calendar.
* A " luni-solar calendar " is based on a combination of both solar and lunar reckonings ; examples are the traditional calendar of China, the Hindu Calendar in India or the Hebrew calendar.
* The week cycle is an example of one that is not synchronized to any external phenomenon ( although it may have been derived from lunar phases, beginning anew every month ).
A lunar calendar is one in which days are numbered within each lunar phase cycle.
Because the length of the lunar month is not an even fraction of the length of the tropical year, a purely lunar calendar quickly drifts against the seasons, which don't vary much near the equator.
A lunisolar calendar is a lunar calendar that compensates by adding an extra month as needed to realign the months with the seasons.
