Una vez finalizada la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética se enfrentaron ideológica y políticamente. El campo de batalla de los dos bloques fue llamado Guerra fría. Las dos super potencias se embarcaron en una carrera por la conquista del espacio en un despliegue de poderío científico, militar y tecnológico. En un comienzo los mayores éxitos fueron de la URSS pero fue EE UU el que logró llevar seres humanos a la Luna. Luego de ese suceso, pasaron varios años hasta que otros países lograron el sueño de llegar a nuestro satélite. LMiUNsiones espacAiales En la actual carrera espacial ingresan nuevos proyectos financiados de manera privada. Las misiones que tuvieron éxito en llegar a la Luna se pueden dividir en: las que sobrevolaron, las que orbitaron, las que descendieron con robots y las que lograron llevar humanos Sobrevuelos/Orbitadores: Luna | Ranger | Zond| Lunar Orbiter | Explorer | Clementine | Lunar prospector | Smart | Kaguya Selene|Chang`e| Chandrayaan| Lunar reconnaissance|Grail| Ladee Landers y Rovers: Luna 9| Surveyour|Luna13|Luna 16/20/24| Luna 17|Lunakhod|Yutu Misiones tripuladas: Apollo 8/10/11/12/14/15/16/17 Fuente: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/programmissions/missions/ Planetario de Buenos AiresPlanetario de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires Galileo Galilei - Av.

2015 Clear Sky Nights by Art Rae
2015 Clear Sky Nights by Art Rae Volume 41, No. 4 Windsor Centre - Here is my tally of clear night skies for 2015 from my location near River Canard, Ontario. This is an unofficial "look out the window" count of all the nights I saw what I considered a "clear sky". Seeing doesn't enter into it. But it gives an idea of what kind of observing year we had this past year. 2015 brought my total up to 93 clear nights, about 25% of the total nightly skies for the year. If you thought we didn't get a lot of clear skies you are probably right. In some recent years we've experi- enced as high as 120 clear nights others as low as 83. 2013 showed 119 open sky nights. Well maybe we will have a better chance in 2016. This year we get an ex- tra day to count.

Apollo Over the Moon: a View from Orbit (Nasa Sp-362)
chl APOLLO OVER THE MOON: A VIEW FROM ORBIT (NASA SP-362) Chapter 1 - Introduction Harold Masursky, Farouk El-Baz, Frederick J. Doyle, and Leon J. Kosofsky [For a high resolution picture- click here] Objectives [1] Photography of the lunar surface was considered an important goal of the Apollo program by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The important objectives of Apollo photography were (1) to gather data pertaining to the topography and specific landmarks along the approach paths to the early Apollo landing sites; (2) to obtain high-resolution photographs of the landing sites and surrounding areas to plan lunar surface exploration, and to provide a basis for extrapolating the concentrated observations at the landing sites to nearby areas; and (3) to obtain photographs suitable for regional studies of the lunar geologic environment and the processes that act upon it. Through study of the photographs and all other arrays of information gathered by the Apollo and earlier lunar programs, we may develop an understanding of the evolution of the lunar crust. In this introductory chapter we describe how the Apollo photographic systems were selected and used; how the photographic mission plans were formulated and conducted; how part of the great mass of data is being analyzed and published; and, finally, we describe some of the scientific results. Historically most lunar atlases have used photointerpretive techniques to discuss the possible origins of the Moon's crust and its surface features. The ideas presented in this volume also rely on photointerpretation. However, many ideas are substantiated or expanded by information obtained from the huge arrays of supporting data gathered by Earth-based and orbital sensors, from experiments deployed on the lunar surface, and from studies made of the returned samples. -
Stars and Their Spectra: an Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89954-3 - Stars and Their Spectra: An Introduction to the Spectral Sequence Second Edition James B. Kaler Index More information Star index Stars are arranged by the Latin genitive of their constellation of residence, with other star names interspersed alphabetically. Within a constellation, Bayer Greek letters are given first, followed by Roman letters, Flamsteed numbers, variable stars arranged in traditional order (see Section 1.11), and then other names that take on genitive form. Stellar spectra are indicated by an asterisk. The best-known proper names have priority over their Greek-letter names. Spectra of the Sun and of nebulae are included as well.
