Squeeze Your Mind

  There are 10 cards with numbers 1-10.  You are required to put those numbers into 5 boxes that are labelled with number 9-13.  Each box must have 2 cards in it, and the sum of the numbers on that two cards needs to be equal to the number of the box.  If the card with number 7 is inside the box with number 10, then which box should the card with number 4 belongs?

The night sky in the World

Satellite monitoring of the artificial night sky brightness and the stellar visibility

 

The interest for the protection of the night sky from light pollution is growing every day. A global scale periodic monitoring of the situation is necessary.

Nighttime images of the Earth at night have been obtained from the Defense Metereological Satellite Program (DMSP) of the US Air Force since early '70. The first global image was obtained by Woodruff Sullivan in late '80. 

These images only showed the geographic distribution of the sources on the Earth surface because the satellite detectors were saturated by the strong flux emitted by them and no quantitative measurements were possible.

Since 1998 unsaturated data become available, allowing quantitative measurements of the upward light flux emitted by sources.

However satellite data don’t give any direct information on the effects of this light flux on the night sky due to light pollution propagation. The aim of our work is to study these effects. 

We measure the upward light flux of sources on the Earth surface based on DMSP satellite data and then we compute the effects on the night sky modelling the light propagation in the atmosphere. 

Depending on the kind of map, we account for many details like the scattering of light by molecules and aerosols, the extinction along light paths, the atmospheric aerosol content, the Earth curvature, the altitude of each area, the mountain screening, the observed sky direction, the natural sky brightness, the stellar extinction, the eye capability.

In this site you can find information on our work, maps, scientific publications.

Hmm... STPM examination is getting nearer and nearer! So, i'm just here to wish all of the candidates good lUck! And let us do our best while preparing and during exam!

Thursday,Aug 26 2004, 06:01:36 AMOh, gosh... recently, i'm really "addicted"...

Oh, gosh... recently, i'm really "addicted" to Micheal Phelps, rather than Einstein. Cham Liao....become flower idiot now... Alice, cclia, them always say that i like ahpek coz i like to listen to the Beatles' songs, i like to read about Einstein, and i listen to 民歌. Hey, come on, those songs are nice, so i listen; Einstein is a famous physict, so i read his biography! 

 Haihh..holidays again. i just Hate it! Bored! damn bored! I just wish that the school will reopen soon!  Haiiihh......today, i've been doing nothing but stay in front of the computer screen, online, online online....checking mail, etc.  Actually, i want to go and watch movie, but, i just feel lazy to find friends out. And i just feeling lazy to drive my bubuche. coz of the hot weather.   Besides, piles and piles of homework (maths, chemistry..), and i just dont feel likely to do it! Headache....
