Impact of Annually Variable Dust Activity on the Recession of the Martian South Polar Seasonal Cap

The Astronomical Journal
Suspended dust is a vital component of Martian climatic system and its temporal-spatial variation can influence the recession of the South Polar Seasonal Cap (SPSC).

Pixel-level Terrain Processing of the Martian Surface from Moderate Resolution Images of Tianwen-1

The Astronomical Journal
The moderate-resolution camera (MoRIC) of the Tianwen-1 orbiter, China’s first Mars exploration mission, is a frame-imaging scheme color camera. However, generating a precise digital elevation model (DEM) from these images faces challenges due to the ...

Eclipse Prediction and the Length of the Lunar Month in Mayan Astronomy

Cosmovisiones / Cosmovisões
One of the most remarkable achievements of Mayan calendrical astronomy was the in- vention of a lunar theory that combined a fixed lunar calendar with eclipse predictions. Eclipse predictions are shown in the Dresden Codex on pages 51-58. The lunar calendar is reflected in the Maya Lunar Series, which was attached to the chronological statements of ...

Revisiting Qur’anic Terminology of Lunar Illumination through Modern Astronomy

Maʿālim al-Qurʾān wa al-Sunnah
The relationship between Qur’anic terminology of celestial phenomena and contemporary scientific knowledge continues to attract scholarly attention, particularly regarding the nature of lunar illumination. A longstanding debate concerns whether the Qur’an’s designation of the moon as nūr (light) is compatible with the scientific view that moonlight is ...

Dirt, Gravity, and Lunar-Based Telescopes: The Value Proposition for Astronomy

, 2007
The lunar surface has historically been considered an optimal site for a broad range of astronomical telescopes. That assumption, which has come to be somewhat reflexive, is critically examined in this paper and found to be poorly substantiated. The value of the lunar surface for astronomy may be broadly compelling only in comparison to terrestrial ...
