At the head of the CDC is an unorthodox, 39-year-old amateur politico, Thomas B. Carvey Jr., whose normal profession is helping develop Hughes Aircraft's moon missiles.

Super-Set No. 2 is made up of similar exercises, but this time done with dumbbells, and using both `` moon '' and flat benches.

The infrared emission could then be assumed to originate at the surface of the moon, while the radio emission originates at some depth beneath the surface, where the temperature variation due to solar radiation is reduced in amplitude and shifted in phase.

The concept of apparent black-body temperature is used to describe the radiation received from the moon and the planets.

The radio radiation of the sun which is reflected from the moon and planets should be negligible compared with their thermal emission at centimeter wave lengths, except possibly at times of exceptional outbursts of solar radio noise.

The ratio of the measured antenna temperature change during a drift scan across the moon to the average brightness temperature of the moon over the antenna beam ( assuming that the brightness temperature of the sky is negligible ) was found, by graphical integration of the antenna directivity diagram, to be 0.85.

The result of the observations is Af where the phase angle, Q, is measured in degrees from new moon and the probable errors include absolute as well as relative errors.

The variation in the 3-cm emission of the moon during a lunation is very much less than the variation in the 8.6-mm emission, as would be expected from the explanation of Piddington and Minnett ( 1949 ).

It is also possible that some of the dust in the vicinity of the Earth originated from meteoritic impacts upon the moon.

A traditional Lao explanation is that the moon was being swallowed by a toad, and the remedy was to make all possible noise, ideally with firearms.

There is a peaceful image of Rieux lying motionless on his back gazing up at the stars and moon, and then when Tarrou joins him they swim side by side, " with the same zest, the same rhythm, isolated from the world, at last free of the town and of the plague.

The gathering of ormers is now restricted to a number of ' ormering tides ', from January 1 to April 30, which occur on the full or new moon and two days following.

Galileo announced his discovery that Venus had phases like the Moon in the form " Haec immatura a me iam frustra leguntur-oy " ( Latin: These immature ones have already been read in vain by me-oy ), that is, when rearranged, " Cynthiae figuras aemulatur Mater Amorum " ( Latin: The Mother of Loves Venus imitates the figures of Cynthia the moon ).

While the sun is similarly described as being aflame, it is not composed of rarefied air like the stars but rather of earth like the moon ; its burning comes not from its composition but rather from its rapid motion .< ref > Kirk, G. S., J. E.

152-153 .</ ref > The moon and sun are likewise considered to be flat and floating on streams of air, and when the sun sets it does not pass under the earth but is merely obscured by higher parts of the earth as it circles around and becomes more distant ; the motion of the sun and the other celestial bodies around the earth is likened by Anaximenes to the way that a cap may be turned around the head .< ref > Fairbanks, Arthur.

Fred Espanak of NASA lists 50 phases of the moon within year 0, showing that it is a full year, not an instant in time.

He is also known as Yarhi from his birthplace ( Hebrew Yerah, i. e. moon, lune ), and he further took the name Astruc, Don Astruc or En Astruc of Lunel.

By eating the meat of the amphisbaena, one could attract many lovers of the opposite sex, and slaying one during the full moon could give power to one who is pure of heart and mind.

This type, often found in east-Asian style gardens, is called a Moon bridge, evoking a rising full moon.

This light is occasionally described by subsequent interpreters as a meteor, sometimes as the moon, and some accounts also mention the barking of dogs.

The latter estimate was based on the angle between the half moon and the Sun, which he estimated as 87 ° ( the true value being close to 89. 853 °).

The comet had apparently passed extremely close to Jupiter on July 7, 1992, just over above the planet's cloud topsa smaller distance than Jupiter's radius of, and well within the orbit of Jupiter's innermost moon Metis and the planet's Roche limit, inside which tidal forces are strong enough to disrupt a body held together only by gravity.

The Gregorian calendar was designed to keep the vernal equinox on or close to March 21, so that the date of Easter ( celebrated on the Sunday after the 14th day of the Moon — i. e. a full moon — that falls on or after March 21 ) remains correct with respect to the vernal equinox.

If the body is close enough to its primary, this can result in a rotation which is tidally locked to the orbital motion, as in the case of the Earth's moon.

Voyager 1 also had the high-priority mission of making a close fly-by of the saturnian moon Titan, which was known to be quite large and to possess a dense atmosphere very much worth studying.

At the precise moment of the new moon and a solar eclipse, five celestial bodies ( the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter ) were clustered within three degrees of each other, with the Earth in close conjunction with them.

Charon is a relatively large moon in comparison to its primary and also has a very close orbit.

If a solar eclipse occurs at one new moon, which must be close to a node, then at the next full moon the Moon is already more than a day past its opposite node, and may or may not miss the Earth's shadow.

However, about 5 or 6 lunations later the new moon will fall close to the opposite node.

The Riverworld has no visible moon, but a great number of stellar objects in the sky, including gas sheets and stars which are close enough to see a visible disk.

Its coma, now close to the zenith for observers at mid-northern latitudes, appeared approximately 1. 5 to 2 degrees across, roughly four times the diameter of the full moon.

* calculating the number of overlaps between sun and moon as 27. 21223, which is very close to 27. 21222 as we know today ; using this number he successfully predicted an eclipse four times during 23 years ( from 436 to 459 ).

File: Pandora ( moon ) PIA 12690. png | Cassini captured this close view of Saturn's moon Pandora during the spacecraft's flyby on June 3, 2010.

No centaur has been photographed up close, although there is evidence that Saturn's moon Phoebe, imaged by the Cassini probe in 2004, may be a captured centaur.

A source close to the brothers said " They were both over the moon when City won and messages were exchanged.

Colored rings close to the moon are a corona, a diffraction phenomenon produced by very small water droplets or ice crystals in clouds.

If the Tarantula Nebula was as close to Earth as the Orion Nebula, it would shine about as brightly as the full moon in the night sky.

In a place called Kundalagrama ( Vaishali district ) situated close to Besadha Patti, 27 miles from Patna in modern day Bihar, India, Mahavira was born in a royal family to King Siddartha and Queen Trishala on the 13th day under the rising moon of Chaitra ( 12 April according to the Gregorian calendar ).

The moon is comparatively close and was detected by radar, soon after the invention of the technique, in 1946.

Without the benefit of moon light, the light horsemen had fired at the flashes of the enemy's rifles until they were close enough to use bayonets.

As 617 Squadron needed a full moon to carry out its mission, it was thought that the only way it could penetrate German anti-aircraft defences was to fly the whole mission as close to the ground as possible.
