Variations in the sky brightness during a lunar eclipse
A total lunar eclipse is conjectured to have influence on the physical conditions of an environmental area, particularly on the brightness of the sky. The phenomenon might also be relevant on weather parameters change on Earth, such as temperature, humidity and pressure, though a straightforward correlation is not easy to establish. This work mainly aims at measuring the brightness of the sky a...
متن کاملThe transmission spectrum of Earth-size transiting planets
A variety of terrestrial planets with different physical parameters and exotic atmospheres might plausibly exist outside our Solar System, waiting to be detected by the next generation of space-exploration missions. Some of these planets might transit their parent star. We present here the first study of atmospheric signatures of transiting Earth-size exoplanets. We focus on a limited number of...
متن کاملAnomalous orbital-energy changes observed during spacecraft flybys of earth.
We report and characterize anomalous orbital-energy changes observed during six Earth flybys by the Galileo, NEAR, Cassini, Rosetta, and MESSENGER spacecraft. These anomalous energy changes are consistent with an empirical prediction formula which is proportional to the total orbital energy per unit mass and which involves the incoming and outgoing geocentric latitudes of the asymptotic spacecr...
متن کاملGlobal Scheme of Lunar-Earth Information Network
A global scheme of Lunar-Earth Information Network is proposed in this paper. It is composed of a lunar-earth Messenger, a lunar Orbiter and a Lunar Probe net, through which an information collection and communication network is formed. Moreover, the triune exploration and project features are described in detail. Keyword: LunarNet, Messenger, Orbiter, Lunar Probes
متن کاملLunar eclipse observations reveal anomalous thermal performance of Apollo reflectors
Laser ranging measurements during the total lunar eclipse on 2010 December 21 verify previously suspected thermal lensing in the retroreflectors left on the lunar surface by the Apollo astronauts. Signal levels during the eclipse far exceeded those historically seen at full moon, and varied over an order of magnitude as the eclipse progressed. These variations can be understood via a straightfo...
