What is needed, Philip Morrison writes in The Cornell Daily Sun ( October 26 ) is a discontinuity.

One of the most appealing of the rooftop canvases is `` Sun And Wind On The Roof '', with a woman and child bracing themselves against flapping clothes and flying birds.

* Another group is the School of the Military that studied strategy and the philosophy of war ; Sunzi and Sun Bin were influential leaders.

An astronomical unit ( abbreviated as AU, au, a. u., or ua ) is a unit of length equal to exactly or approximately the mean Earth – Sun distance.

An equivalent definition is the radius of an unperturbed circular Newtonian orbit about the Sun of a particle having infinitesimal mass, moving with an angular frequency of radians per day ; or that length such that, when used to describe the positions of the objects in the Solar System, the heliocentric gravitational constant ( the product GM < sub >☉</ sub >) is equal to ()< sup > 2 </ sup > AU < sup > 3 </ sup >/ d < sup > 2 </ sup >.

This is because the distance between the Earth and the Sun is not fixed ( it varies between AU and AU ) and, when the Earth is closer to the Sun ( perihelion ), the Sun's gravitational field is stronger and the Earth is moving faster along its orbital path.

According to Archimedes in the Sandreckoner ( 2. 1 ), Aristarchus of Samos estimated the distance to the Sun to be 10, 000 times the Earth's radius ( the true value is about 23, 000 ).

However, the book On the Sizes and Distances of the Sun and Moon, which has long been ascribed to Aristarchus, says that he calculated the distance to the sun to be between 18 and 20 times the distance to the Moon, whereas the true ratio is about 389. 174.

1st century BCE ), shows how the distance to the Sun can be computed geometrically, using the different lengths of the noontime shadows observed at three places 1000 li apart and the assumption that the Earth is flat.

Arizona State University's Division I athletic teams are called the Sun Devils, which is also the nickname used to refer to students and alumni of the university.

The Sun Devil mascot is named Sparky.

In this case, the absolute magnitude is defined as the apparent magnitude that the object would have if it were one astronomical unit ( AU ) from both the Sun and the observer.

Because the object is illuminated by the Sun, absolute magnitude is a function of phase angle and this relationship is referred to as the phase curve.

# These objects could have had their orbits and perihelion distances " lifted " by the passage of a nearby star when the Sun was still embedded in its birth star cluster.

Whipple envisioned comets as " dirty snowballs ," made up of rock embedded in ice, orbiting the Sun.

Al-Kindi took his view of the solar system from Ptolemy, who placed the Earth at the centre of a series of concentric spheres, in which the known heavenly bodies ( the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and the stars ) are embedded.

When compared to the reference implementation of the Java Virtual Machine written by Sun Microsystems, Kaffe is significantly smaller ; it thus appeals to embedded system developers.

It is a specification put out by Sun Microsystems for the use of Java on embedded devices with very limited displays.

In comparing Oracle Internet Directory with its competitors, Oracle Corporation stresses that it uses as its foundation an Oracle database ; whereas many competing products ( such as Sun Directory and Novell eDirectory ) do not rely on an enterprise-strength relational database, but instead on embedded database engines similar to Berkeley DB.

In their initial paper, Brown, Rabinowitz and colleagues suggested three possible candidates for the perturbing body: an unseen planet beyond the Kuiper belt, a single passing star, or one of the young stars embedded with the Sun in the stellar cluster in which it formed.

It is currently unknown if the Sun is embedded in the LIC, or in the region where the LIC is interacting with the neighboring G-cloud.

< FONT color =" darkred "> section needs to be updated, as Embedded Java covers much more than Java ME and Sun SPOT alone — it also covers embedded use of Java on top of Java platforms such as JavaCard and Java SE </ FONT >

It is said that during the fermentation process, the knowledge of the sun is embedded into the potion, creating the " Elixir of the Sun.

Like most ancient peoples, the Hebrews believed the sky was a solid dome or firmament with the Sun, Moon and stars embedded in it.

Sun Microsystems used Alchemy in its embedded products such as Network processors.

The Sun is currently traveling through the Local Interstellar Cloud, a denser region in the low-density Local Bubble.

Local folklore relates a story about how Sun Quan's grandfather, Sun Zhong, was originally a melon farmer on the islet.

Local legend states that the tavern was more well known than the surrounding village so that by the time the town ’ s first post office was established around 1815, Rising Sun was chosen as the official name.

The definition of the Local time of the ascending node concept for Sun-synchronous spacecraft is only related to the position of the Sun indirectly through Newcomb's formula which gives the angle between the Greenwich meridian and the Vernal equinox in the form

The first album release, Music From The Core was originally released on Matt Hayward's independent label One Movement in 1996 and the first single release, " Summer Sun " produced by John Prior, was frequently played by the DJ by Andy Glitre on Triple J and was followed up by single " Local MP " also achieved high rotation.

In 1947 – 48, the Sun featured a groundbreaking series of articles by Malcolm Johnson, " Crime on the Waterfront ," that won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting in 1949.
