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.

It is moving rapidly () relative to the solar system, and is now almost at its closest point to the Sun.

* Red Dwarf-A server framework originally developed by Sun, now open sourced, commonly used for game development.

The solstice now takes place when the Sun is in Sagittarius.

One of his most memorable exchanges on HIGNFY occurred when he scathingly joked to fellow guest Piers Morgan that the Daily Mirror was now, thanks to Morgan ( then its editor ), almost as good as The Sun.

Chelsea were founded on 10 March 1905 at The Rising Sun pub ( now The Butcher's Hook ), opposite the present-day main entrance to the ground on Fulham Road, and were elected to the Football League shortly afterwards.

They were later verified by observations such as the slight bending of starlight by the Sun during a solar eclipse in 1919, and such considerations are now an integral part of the software that runs the GPS system.

Clemence's 1948 proposal did not adopt a correction of this kind in terms of mean solar time: instead, the same numbers were used as in Newcomb's original uncorrected formula ( 1 ), but now in a reverse sense, to define the time and time scale implicitly, based on the real position of the Sun:

File: Joseph von Fraunhofer. jpg | Joseph von Fraunhofer, ( 1787-1826 ): first to studied the dark lines of the Sun ’ s spectrum, now known as Fraunhofer lines, first to use extensively the diffraction grating ( a device that disperses light more effectively than a prism does ), set the stage for the development of spectroscopy, making optical glass and achromatic telescope objectives.

Energy storage as a natural process is as old as the universe itself-the energy present at the initial formation of the universe has been stored in stars such as the Sun, and is now being used by humans directly ( e. g. through solar heating ), or indirectly ( e. g. by growing crops or conversion into electricity in solar cells ).

* " When The Sun Goes In " a film made for the solar eclipse-as himself ( 1999 ) now posted complete on YouTube.

This has now happened three times in NFL history ; Super Bowls II and III were both played at the Miami Orange Bowl and Super Bowls XLIII and XLIV were played in Florida ( at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa and Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens ).

Even without this, the slowdown to a month-long day would still not have been completed by 4. 5 billion years from now when the Sun will evolve into a red giant and likely destroy both the Earth and Moon.

The story now known as " The Balloon-Hoax " was first printed in The Sun newspaper in New York.

* VirtualBox is an open source ( GPL )/ proprietary virtual machine developed by Sun Microsystems ( originally developed by Innotek GmbH and now owned by Oracle Corporation ).

The latter company was purchased by Sun in April 2007 and now forms the basis of Sun's JavaFX Mobile.

It is widely considered that England created the market for glamour modeling when The Sun established Page 3 in 1969, a section in their newspaper which now features topless models.

Also, some server vendors such as Oracle / Sun now incorporate cryptographic acceleration hardware into their CPUs such as the T2000.

" Sun died in 1925 with no clear successor and leadership of the government, now named the Nationalist Government, rested in a series of Leninist-style dual party and state committees, the most powerful of which was the policy-making Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang.

When chasing a car on a highway in " Marge on the Lam ", he was asked to describe his location, and replied " I'm on a road, looks to be asphalt -- aw jeez, trees, shrubs -- uh, I'm directly under the earth's Sun ... now.

It has previously been home port to the Pacific Sun ( ship ) which is now based in Brisbane.

According to International Astronomical Union boundaries, the Sun now is in Taurus at the June solstice.

One full orbit later, when the Sun has returned to the same apparent position relative to the background stars, the Earth's axial tilt is not now directly towards the Sun: because of the effects of precession, it is a little way " beyond " this.

The Sun Belt then merged with the American South Conference, made up of Arkansas State, Louisiana Tech, Southwestern Louisiana ( now Louisiana – Lafayette ), Texas – Pan American, New Orleans, Lamar, and UCF.

In tropical astrology, the Sun is considered to be in the sign Capricorn from December 22 to January 20, and in sidereal astrology, from January 15 to February 15.

The northern solstice is in June, when the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere, and the southern solstice is in December, when the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere.

These mark the movement of the Sun along a sidereally fixed zodiac ( precession is ignored ) into Makara, the zodiacal sign which corresponds with Capricorn, and into Karkat, the zodiacal sign which corresponds with Cancer, respectively.

Its Southern Hemisphere counterpart, marking the most southerly position at which the Sun may appear directly overhead, is the Tropic of Capricorn.

The Tropic of Capricorn, or Southern tropic, marks the most southerly latitude on the Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead.

Hamilton Basso wrote two novels looking at Long, Cinnamon Seed ( 1934 ) and Sun in Capricorn ( 1942 ).

The Sun is directly overhead at solar noon at the equator on the equinoxes ; at the Tropic of Cancer ( latitude N ) on the June solstice ; and at the Tropic of Capricorn ( S ) on the December solstice.

The term is less frequently used to describe the belt of maximum temperatures encircling the globe which migrates roughly between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, the region known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone, as the Earth orbits the Sun.

Sankranti or Sankranthi marks the transition of the Sun into Makara rashi ( Capricorn ) on its celestial path.

However, the Sankranti festival usually refers to Makara Sankaranti, or the transition of the Sun from Dhanu rashi ( Sagittarius ) to Makara rashi ( Capricorn ).

The movement of the Sun from one zodiac sign into another is called Sankranti and as the Sun moves into the Capricorn zodiac known as Makar in Hindi, this occasion is named as Makar Sankranti in the Indian context.

# According to the Puranas, on this day Surya ( Sun ) visits the house of his son Shani ( Saturn ), who is the lord of the Makar rashi ( Zodiac Capricorn ).

However some believe that this is an Earth Grand Trine with Sun / Moon / Mars / Venus / Mercury in the initial degrees of Virgo, Neptune at 5 degrees of Capricorn, and Jupiter in the last degree of Aries ( anaretic degree ), on the cusp of Taurus.

* Makara Sankaranti: (, Sanskrit: मकर स ं क ् र ा न ् त ि, Bengali: মকর স ং ক ্ র া ন ্ ত ি, Assamese: মকৰ স ং ক ্ র া ন ্ ত ি, Malayalam: മകര സ ാ ന ്‍ ക ് ര ാ ന ് ത ി, Tamil: த ை ப ் ப ொ ங ் கல ், Telugu: మకర స ం క ్ ర ాం త ి, Marathi: मकर स ं क ् र ा न ् त ि, Kannada: ಮಕರ ಸ ಂ ಕ ್ ರ ಾಂ ತ ಿ) or Sankranti or Sankranthi marks the transition of the Sun into Makara rashi ( Capricorn ) on its celestial path.

Every year on the immediately preceding Sunday of Makar Sankranti ( i. e. the Sunday just before the date when the Sun is about to enter the sign of Capricorn as per Indian Astrological / Sidereal calendar ), Swaadhyaaya Bhavan Ashram ( based at Mahalaxmi Nagar, Maheshwar ) organizes Mahaamrityunjaya Rath Yaatraa in the town of Maheshwar.

Normally, during the course of the astrological year, commencing around 21 March at the vernal equinox, the Sun moves through the zodiacal signs commencing with Aries, then Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and, finally, Pisces.

In 1975, he recorded several songs with Crawdad bandmates at Capricorn studios in Macon Georgia which were released in 1987 as One in the Sun ( when the present day Lynyrd Skynyrd band began touring ) by MCA Records and is listed as his only official solo album.

"( To the king ): Oh Ravivarmadeva ( Sthanu Ravi Varman ), now deign to tell us quickly, reading off from the armillary sphere installed ( at the observatory ) in Mahodayapuram, duly fitted with all the relevant circles and with the sign (- degree-minute ) markings, the time of the rising point of the ecliptic ( lagna ) when the Sun is at 10 ° in the Sign of Capricorn, and also when the Sun is at the end of the Sign Libra, which I have noted.

For the same reason, the signs that mark the Sun ’ s summer and winter solstice points ( Cancer and Capricorn ) are described as the ' tropical signs ', since these are the places where the Sun ' turns ' its direction in celestial latitude, ( thereby defining the terrestrial circles of latitude known as the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn ).
