This could only happen if they were actually passing through a quite large polar opening, where at one point on the curvature into the interior, our outer sun would shine down directly from above. We will observe this when we go on our expedition to the inner earth. We will use the ...
In order to correct for visible curvature in the original NPM data, second order polynomial curves were fitted to the NPM data. Subtracting the fit curve from the original data yields a flatter data set. Given that the instrument is a technology demonstrator, the sensor mounting hardware ...
Is the apparent curvature of the Earth merely an optical illusion? Is there something in what Shaq’s saying? Luckily I have access to millions of conversations online (through Brandwatch Analytics), so I decided to explore what people are discussing online about the earth being flat, versus ...
When we take the sunlit area of the Earth surface in the Moon-based view as one point, it is difficult to define the viewing zenith angle for this point, because the curvature of the Earth surface leads to variations in the viewing zenith angle for each grid on the Earth surface. The ...
Therefore, taking the curvature radius, conic coefficient, and separation of the two mirrors as the optimization variables, the image height was controlled within 4 mm, and the obstruction rate was expanded to 0.51. The final telescope is a f/1.13 Cassegrain that has a 40 mm diameter ...
The spatial error will be directly projected on the Earth’s surface with a scaling factor referring to the projection angle and Earth’s curvature. The pointing errors attributed to some sources over time are shown in Figure 8. The figure only shows results from 2017, when the sensor was ...
The side-looking mode can maximize the spatial coverage and deformation information while reducing the imaging distortion caused by the curvature of the earth. (3) A large signal bandwidth as well as swath width are required to make full use of the advantages of the lunar platform in observing...
where 𝛼α is the pressure-viscosity coefficient, R′ is the reduced radius of curvature, 𝜂0η0 is the lubricant viscosity at atmospheric pressure and temperature, W is the applied load, E′ is the reduced Young’s modulus, U is the sliding speed, and k is the ellipticity parameter ...
