A view is a scene observed from a given vantage point... A view must be analyzed and composed with keenly perceptive artistry to utilize even a fraction of the full dramatic potential. Like other landscape features, the view by its handling may be preserved, neutralized, modified, or accentuated... A view is a picture to be framed, an evolving panorama of many blending facets. A view is a theme... A view is a constantly changing mood conveyed by association, light, and color. A view is a limit of visual space. It transcends the boundaries of the site... A view is a backdrop. It may serve as the wall of a garden or as a mural in a room. A view is the setting for architecture.

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
  • The Moon (Astronomy)
DEF

The name given to the second full moon in a given month, which occurs about once every three years.

DEF

Phenomenon caused by the presence of large quantities of suspended particles in the atmosphere which selectively remove the longer lunar ... visible wavelengths more than the blue ... wavelengths.

OBS

... blue moon... For half a century, it's been known as the second full moon in a month... But that's wrong... The magazine [Sky & Telescope] incorrectly defined the term 53 years ago. James Hugh Pruett wrote a 1946 piece for the magazine after apparently misinterpreting a complex 1937 article in the Maine Farmer's Almanac that essentially, but not clearly, said a blue moon occurs when a season has four full moons, rather than the usual three. Pruett mistakenly thought it meant having a second full moon within the same month. Pruett's mistake went unnoticed for decades.... Although Sky & Telescope's editors think Pruett's mistake led to the popular modern mis-definition of "blue moon, "it's unclear where the Maine Farmer's Almanac came up with the rule. The almanac is defunct. Pruett died in 1955.... By either definition--Pruett's or the almanac' s--blue moons occur about every two or three years... Although purists may subscribe to the almanac' s point of view, Sinnott thinks Pruett's error will prevail.

OBS

When a month has two full moons the second is known as a "blue" moon, though it only rarely has a blue tint that unusual atmospheric conditions can supply. Occasionally the moon takes on unusual colors, but most often it tends to be reddish, reports Guy Ottewell of Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina.

OBS

The RADARSAT Antarctic Mapping Mission (AMM) has important significance for the scientific community. Almost 70% of the Earth’s fresh water is contained in the Antarctic region, and changes in this enormous reservoir directly influence world sea levels and climate. The new digital radar map will provide an unprecedented detailed portrayal of the surface form and features of the ice sheet. This RADARSAT based map will help scientists to better understand the dynamic behaviour of the ice sheet and provide them with a greater insight into the effects of human activity on the Southern Continent.

La Mission de cartographie de l'Antarctique par RADARSAT est d'une grande importance pour la communauté scientifique puisque cette région contient près de 70 pour 100 des réserves d'eau douce de la planète et que toute modification touchant cet immense réservoir a une incidence directe sur le climat et le niveau des eaux dans le monde entier. Une mosaïque d'images numériques haute résolution de l'inlandsis et des parties non recouvertes du continent sera constituée à partir d'images RADARSAT. La nouvelle carte radar numérique fournira un relevé d'un niveau de précision sans précédent des caractéristiques et du relief de l'inlandsis. Cette carte constituée à partir d'images RADARSAT aidera les scientifiques à mieux comprendre le comportement dynamique de l'inlandsis ainsi que les répercussions de l'activité humaine sur le continent austral.

Canadian Football League West Division.... The West Division is one of the two regional divisions of the Canadian Football League. Although the CLF was not founded until 1958, the West Division and its clubs are descended from earlier leagues.... Pre-1936. The first organized football club in Western Canada was the Winnipeg Rugby Football Club, later the Winnipeg Football Club, a forerunner of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers which as founded in 1879.... The three provincial unions then in existence soon set out to create a unified Western Canadian competition, with the view that the Western champion should be able to challenge for the Canadian Rugby Union's new championship trophy, the Grey Cup. To this end, the Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta unions formed the Western Canada Rugby Football Union [WCRFU] in 1911.... In 1936, the Western Interprovincial Football Union [WIFU] was formed, succeeding the WCRFU as the West's premier football competition.... The WIFU was re-named the Western Football Conference [WFC] in 1961 and agreed to a partial interlocking schedule with what was by then known as the Eastern Football Conference the same year.... West Division(1980-1994, 1996-present) In 1980, the CFL' s two conferences agreed to a full merger and a full interlocking schedule.

For the SAR mission, the planning is based on a direct and permanent contact with the user in order to schedule image acquisition for the right time and for over the appropriate area of the Earth. This activity is the responsibility of the ERS Central User Service. At the same time, the users of the data collected by the other instruments are also interested in global coverage and are ready to handle all the available production. The mission planning for the other instruments therefore consists of the scheduling of the instruments and the on-board recorder to take full advantage of the recorder's capacity and to protect certain geographic areas used for instrument monitoring against systematic gaps(due to the acquisition of SAR images or to gaps in the data recording), in view of instrument calibration and verification. This activity-the scheduling of the other instruments and the on-board recorder-is called background mission planning.

In the summer of 1994 NASA approved adding an optical-quality nadir-viewing window to the U. S. Laboratory Module of the International Space Station. The window can view 39. 5 degrees forward along the axis of the ISS, 32. 2 degrees aft, and a total of 79. 1 degrees from port to starboard. The window is constructed of three panes of fused silica and a fourth protective kick pane made of glass laminate. From outboard to inboard, the panes are : OUTBOARD-An external debris pane that can be changed by an EVA astronaut if damaged. A redundant pressure pane. A primary pressure pane. A scratch or "kick" pane that protects the primary pressure pane from being damaged if the crew or equipment make contact with the window [and] provides a UV-IR coating to protect the crew members. INBOARD-The kick pane is removed during window research operations to take advantage of the full spectrum of radiation that passes through the fused silica panes. When not in use, the window is protected by the kick pane on the inside, and by an external cover on the outside. The external cover can be rotated in or out of position from within the cabin by an astronaut using a hand crank.
