Nineteenth century astronomy at the US Naval Academy [PDF]
, 2002 During the 1850s the newly-formed U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, acquired a small observatory featuring a 19.7-cm (7.75-in.) Clark refractor, transit telescopes, and an astronomical clock.

924 elementary problems and answers in solar system astronomy
, 1993 This challenging collection of problems is organized into seven carefully crafted, thoughtful chapters on the Sun and the nature of the solar system; the motion of the planets; the Sun, Earth, and Moon; the sky as observed from the rotating, revolving ...

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Regolith samples from the carbonaceous asteroid Bennu were stowed and delivered to Earth in the OSIRIS‐REx spacecraft's Sample Return Capsule (SRC). We applied multiple analytical techniques to study the components of the post‐flight SRC, with a focus on assessing the conditions and any contaminants to which the Bennu samples were exposed ...

The history of astronomy: a very short introduction
, 2003 The History of Astronomy: A Very Short Introduction traces the history of Western astronomy, from prehistoric times to the origins of astrophysics in the mid-nineteenth century and the technical developments since the Second World War. Astronomy, perhaps

Xenoliths in meteorites: Insights into the dynamics of material exchange between asteroids
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract A minor fraction of meteorites contains xenoliths, that is, clasts that were formed on a different parent body than that of the host lithology. The occurrence of xenoliths is direct evidence for the exchange of material between asteroids, including exchanges between asteroids from the carbonaceous (CC) and non‐carbonaceous (NC) reservoirs ...

Solar Wind—Ionosphere Interface at Mars. Ion Dynamics, Asymmetry, Plasma Jets
Geophysical Research LettersWe report on observations made by the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft, in the shocked solar wind‐ionosphere interface of Mars. We observe a strong asymmetry in plasma flow governed by the direction of the motional electric field.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the spatial distribution and spectral characteristics of the broad hydration feature near 3 μm across the surface of asteroid (101955) Bennu using OVIRS (OSIRIS‐REx Visible and InfraRed Spectrometer) data. We analyzed multiple global OVIRS data sets obtained at different times throughout the Bennu day, revealing ...

Thermal history, collisional history, and structure of the CK‐chondrite parent body
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Major chondrite groups (H, L, LL, R, EH, EL, CK) with some members of petrologic type 5 and 6 also have some members of types 3 and 4; they do not have members of type 1 or 2. Their parent bodies had onion‐shell structures and were internally heated by the decay of 26Al.

New Polarimetric Data for the Galilean Satellites: Io and Ganymede Observations and Modeling
The Planetary Science JournalNew high-precision disk-integrated measurements of the polarization of Io and Ganymede in the UBVRI bands are presented. The observations were obtained using polarimeters mounted on the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory and the Peak Terskol Observatory ...
