    Laika's Sacrifice: The Controversy and Consequences of the First Dog in Space

    I don't thing this topic is silly. Consider that Sputnik 2 was not designed to be retrievable, so Laika had always been intended to die. And i ask why to underestimate the life of an animal? Cyrus as you probably understand it is not the same to do medical tests at ''non -conscious''...

    Laika's Sacrifice: The Controversy and Consequences of the First Dog in Space

    Well this poll published in an other forum like this. I won't tell you the final vote result... but i will tell you what was the reason to make this poll here. I heard two days before a lecture about space weather and the prediction of CME's (coronal mass ejections) of the Sun. From that...

    How can you easily add the numbers from 1 to 100?

    I think that the easy way is: 1+2+3+...+100=x (1) 100+99+98+...+1=x (2) combine this two (1)+(2) 101+101+101+...+101=2x x=(100*101)/2=5050

    196-Algorithm (palindromic numbers)

    Thanks ramsay. Very interesting sites. This is my first approach to study number theory and programming. Yes of course search for primes is very useful but one step at a time... Thanks a lot.

    Laika's Sacrifice: The Controversy and Consequences of the First Dog in Space

    Do you think that Laika sacrifice was worthy in the name of "space conquest" ?

    196-Algorithm (palindromic numbers)

    The 196 Algorithm is: Take any positive integer of two digits or more, reverse the digits, and add to the original number. This is the operation of the reverse-then-add sequence. Now repeat the procedure with the sum so obtained. This procedure quickly produces palindromic numbers for most...

    196-Algorithm (palindromic numbers)

    I recently read about the 196-Algorithm problem and i found it extremely interesting. Do you know if there is a computer programme which automatically does the operation of the reverse-then-add sequence and then repeat the procedure with the sum so obtained, checking of course if the number...

    Analemma Visualisation: 3D Graphics & Visualisations

    It is very difficult to find on the internet a 3d simulation program of analemma but you can try to make one of your own using Math programs. If that helps i recommend two programmes of 2d analyses of the analema. http://freeware.intrastar.net/astronomyone.htm...

    Stargazing Optic Quality and Useful Magnification of the Orion Skyview Pro 6 Telescope

    Don't worry yiuscott no question here is newbie. Because the collimation proses has too many details to write it here i send you two usefull pages. 1. http://www.galaxypix.com/Stargazing/collimate.html 2.http://cdcc.sc.usp.br/cda/telescopios/hp-mbartels/kolli/kolli.html The only difficult thing...

    Stargazing Optic Quality and Useful Magnification of the Orion Skyview Pro 6 Telescope

    NO the only thing that you will need for the collimation proses is a 35mm film box with a very tiny whole in the centrer of the cylinder. The further proses of collimation is the same as you probably know. Of course you can photograph with a laptop webcam but you have to replace the lens of...

    Stargazing Optic Quality and Useful Magnification of the Orion Skyview Pro 6 Telescope

    I will agree with the presents posts and the bad collimation that it is said. However a ''good'' observation has a lot of factors that can influence it. I believe most important of all when you observe a planet is the seeing of the sky in which you observe as it is said.The reason of a ''bad...
