  • Rosetta Craft Makes Historic Comet Rendezvous European Space Agency's Comet-Chasing Mission Arrives After 10-Year Journey
    NATURE | NEWS Rosetta craft makes historic comet rendezvous European Space Agency's comet-chasing mission arrives after 10-year journey. Elizabeth Gibney 06 August 2014 ESA/Rosetta/MPS for OSIRIS Team MPS/UPD/LAM/IAA/SSO/INTA/UPM/DASP/IDA Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, as seen by Rosetta from a distance of 285 kilometres. No one can deny that it was an epic trip. The European Space Agency's comet-chasing Rosetta spacecraft has arrived at its quarry, after launching more than a decade ago and travelling 6.4 billion kilometres through the Solar System. That makes it the first spacecraft to rendezvous with a comet, and takes the mission a step closer to its next, more ambitious goal of making the first ever soft landing on a comet. Speaking from mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, Matt Taylor, Rosetta project scientist for the European Space Agency (ESA), called the space mission “the sexiest there’s ever been”. Rosetta is now within 100 kilometres of its target, comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (or 67P for short), which in July was discovered to be shaped like a rubber duck. After a six-minute thruster burn, at 11:29 a.m. local time on 6 August, ESA scientists confirmed that Rosetta had moved into the same orbit around the Sun as the comet. Rosetta is now moving at a walking pace relative to the motion of 67P — though both are hurtling through space at 15 kilometres per second. Unlike NASA’s Deep Impact and Stardust craft, and ESA’s Giotto mission, which flew by their target comets at high speed, Rosetta will now stay with the comet, taking a ring-side seat as 67P approaches the Sun, and eventually swings around it in August 2015.

SPICE was originally developed and maintained by the Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) team of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA). Ø “Ancillary data” are those that help scientists and engineers determine: ● where the spacecraft was located ● how the spacecraft and its instruments were oriented (pointed) ● what was the location, size, shape and orientation of the target being observed ● what events were occurring on the spacecraft or ground that might affect interpretation of science observations Ø SPICE provides users a large suite of SW used to read SPICE ancillary data files to compute observation geometry. Ø SPICE is open, very well tested, extensively used and provides tons of resources to learn it and implement it. Ø SPICE is the recommended means of archiving ancillary data by NASA’s PDS and by the IPDA Ø The ancillary data (kernels) comes from: The S/C, MOC/SGS, S/C manufacturer and Instrument teams, Science Organizations.

  • Andrea Di Bonaiuto, Thomas Aquinas, and the Unity Of
    http://www.amatterofmind.us/ PIERRE BEAUDRY’S GALACTIC PARKING LOT ANDREA DI BONAIUTO, THOMAS AQUINAS, AND THE UNITY OF OPPOSITES An epistemological experiment of axiomatic change in artistic composition. By Pierre Beaudry, 7/23/17 INTRODUCTION The difference between Raphael de Sanzio and Andrea di Bonaiuto in their artistic treatments of the fundamental differences between Plato and Aristotle is a matter of great importance for the epistemology of axiomatics, because it is timeless. Raphael explicitly represented the two philosophers in his painting, The School of Athens, as two opposite figures, one pointing upward to the domain of ideas and the other pointing downward to the domain of the senses. Almost a hundred and fifty years before, Andrea di Bonaiuto painted three frescos representing the same difference through a process of axiomatic transformation from one to the other in his masterful composition in the Spanish Chapel, in Florence. Imagine yourself entering the Spanish Chapel of Santa Maria Novella in Florence with one idea in mind: experiment the axiomatic change that Andrea di Bonaiuto has set the stage for you in three immense frescos. As you enter, your head will tend to start spinning slowly in a spiral motion around the room, from the floor level upward to the pinnacle of the four gothic arches, which meet into a single point at the summit of the room; and then, your mind will spiral back down, Page 1 of 19 http://www.amatterofmind.us/ PIERRE BEAUDRY’S GALACTIC PARKING LOT by inversion, only to start a similar motion, again, through the experiment of examining in detail each of the three frescos.

My thesis offers the first full exploration of the literature and art associated with the Genoese noblewoman Simonetta Cattaneo Vespucci (1453-1476). Simonetta has gone down in legend as a model of Sandro Botticelli, and most scholarly discussions of her significance are principally concerned with either proving or disproving this theory. My point of departure, rather, is the series of vernacular poems that were written about Simonetta just before and shortly after her early death. I use them to tell a new story, that of the transformation of the historical monna Simonetta into a cultural icon, a literary and visual construct who served the political, aesthetic and pecuniary agendas of her poets and artists.
