An eclipse season is one of only two periods during each year when the Sun, the Moon and Earth are aligned, allowing eclipses to occur. Each season lasts about 35 days and repeats just short of six months later!  2, record 1, English, - eclipse%20season

Pour qu'une éclipse soit possible, la nouvelle lune ou la pleine lune doit avoir lieu lorsque la Lune se trouve près d'un des deux endroits, appelés «nœuds», où son orbite croise celle de la Terre. La ligne des nœuds de l'orbite lunaire pointe alors approximativement en direction du Soleil. Ces périodes favorables surviennent deux fois par année pendant quelques semaines : ce sont les saisons d'éclipses, qui se décalent d'environ 19 jours d'une année à l'autre.  2, record 1, French, - saison%20d%27%C3%A9clipse

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The crust and upper mantle of the Earth are made up of about a dozen large plates and several smaller ones that are constantly moving. The movements are very slow-only a few centimetres per year. Where the plates rub against one another, strain builds up, especially at the edges. When the strength of the rock is exceeded, the Earth's crust may break and suddenly shift by several metres, causing an earthquake.  6, record 2, English, - tectonic%20plate

La croûte terrestre se compose d'environ une douzaine de grandes plaques et de plusieurs petites, qui sont en perpétuel mouvement. Leur déplacement de l'ordre de quelques centimètres par année seulement, est suffisant pour créer des zones sujettes aux éruptions volcaniques et aux tremblements de terre. Les plaques rigides glissent difficilement les unes sur les autres, ce qui engendre des tensions dans la roche, particulièrement aux limites des plaques.  6, record 2, French, - plaque%20tectonique

A "RAW Signal Data" product contains raw or unprocessed radar video baseband data in complex in-phase and quadrature signal(I and Q) format as they are recorded by the spacecraft. The only processing performed to the downlink X-band "raw signal data" is the frame synchronization, meaning re-assembly of the data into contiguous radar range lines in matrix form, and the CEOS [Committee on Earth Observations Satellite] formatting. Each range line of data is represented by one Signal Data Record in the RAW CEOS product.  2, record 3, English, - %5C%22raw%20signal%20data%5C%22%20product

The RAW product can contain any single beam mode, or for ScanSAR any combination of different beam modes, depending on the operation of the SAR instrument during the data reception or recording period. A RAW product cannot, however, combine data from more than one beam mode, i.e. data from two different beam modes are always packaged as two separate products. A RAW product must be SAR processed before it can be displayed as imagery. RAW products are typically produced on 8 mm (Exabyte) tapes. This is the standard medium for exchanging data between network stations.  2, record 3, English, - %5C%22raw%20signal%20data%5C%22%20product

Unlike an unmanned probe, it [a manned spacecraft] requires a crew compartment and life support systems. Manned spacecrafts are either reusable, such as the Space Shuttle, or designed for one time use, such as Soyuz. The latter type is generally modular, such as consisting of a reentry module which houses the crew and a service module which contains propulsion, power supply and life support.

How the solar wind erodes the Martian atmosphere? The Martian atmosphere is a shadow of its former self. Four billion years ago it was thick, similar to the Earth's. Today, atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is only about 7 mbar, or 0. 6% of that on the Earth. Where did the atmospheric gases go? One of the main tasks of the Energetic Neutral Atoms Analyser(ASPERA) on board Mars Express is to find out.  3, record 5, English, - energetic%20neutral%20atoms%20analyser

At this distance the orbital period is 24 hours, keeping the satellite "anchored" above the same spot on Earth. This feature makes the synchronous orbit useful for communication satellites : a satellite transmitting TV programs to the US, for instance, will always be in touch with the US if "anchored" above it, and receiving antennas on the ground only need to point to one fixed spot in the sky.  3, record 6, English, - synchronous%20orbit

Friends of the Earth first proposed environmental certification/labelling of timber when it launched its rainforest campaign in 1985, and discussions on timber labelling initially related principally to tropical timber.... Governments and timber labelling schemes. Only one government-that of Austria-has attempted to establish a mandatory labelling scheme for timber. This scheme was initially intended to apply only to tropical products, and would have required a label to be placed on all tropical timber goods stating the country of origin and giving notice that the product was derived from a tropical forest source. After protests from a number of tropical countries, but particularly from Malaysia, the scheme was dropped, and replaced by a voluntary programme under which companies may apply to a special commission for a 'sustainability’ label for either tropical or non-tropical timber products.  1, record 7, English, - timber%20labelling

La prolifération de programmes d'étiquetage du bois traduit la volonté de nombreux pays de s'assurer que les produits forestiers proviennent de forêts gérées de façon durable. L'étiquetage doit toutefois être accompagné d'un système de certification reposant sur une norme, ce qui soulève un certain nombre de questions : Le système servira-t-il à évaluer les aspects environnementaux ou relatifs au développement durable des produits forestiers de remplacement? Quels organismes se chargeront de la certification? Qui en assumera les frais? À quel niveau de précision doit se faire l'évaluation de l'aspect aménagement durable aux fins du commerce? Faut-il employer les mêmes critères pour les forêts naturelles ou aménagées?

There is one other indicator that the earth is rotating in space. The fact that low pressure regions spin with an anticlockwise motion in the Southern hemisphere, yet in the Northern hemisphere(the high pressure regions) spin with an anticlockwise motion and vice versa raises the question as to what force is being exerted on these winds. Studies of rotating bodies show there is an apparent Coriolis acceleration, which acts sideways on moving objects. Only a Coriolis type acceleration seems to explain the earth's winds and this could only occur if the earth rotates. The fact that the wind direction is always constant is evidence of the earth's consistent rotation.  2, record 8, English, - apparent%20Coriolis%20acceleration

Coriolis (Gustave Gaspard). Ingénieur et mathématicien français [...]. Il a montré, en 1835, que l'expression de l'accélération d'un mobile dans un référentiel donné, en fonction de son accélération dans un second référentiel en rotation par rapport au premier, fait intervenir une accélération complémentaire (appelée aujourd'hui «accélération de Coriolis»), perpendiculaire à la vitesse du mobile dans le second référentiel. C'est ainsi que tous les corps en mouvement à la surface de la Terre sont soumis à une force déviatrice, produite par l'accélération complémentaire due à la rotation terrestre.  2, record 8, French, - acc%C3%A9l%C3%A9ration%20apparente%20de%20Coriolis

Steam thawing is possibly one of the best methods for thawing underground sewers and hydrants. The steam from a portable boiler can be injected into a sewer pipe or hydrant through an opening and utilizing a long steam hose. The steam not only thaws the frozen sewer pipe or hydrant, but it also heats the pipe so that the earth around the pipe is also thawed.  1, record 9, English, - steam%20thawing

Le dégel à la vapeur est probablement l'un des moyens les plus efficaces connus pour dégeler les bornes d'incendie et les tuyaux d'égout enfouis. À l'aide d'un long tuyau souple, on injecte la vapeur produite par une chaudière portative par une ouverture qui donne accès au tuyau ou à la borne d'incendie en question. En plus de dégeler le tuyau ou la borne, la vapeur, en réchauffant l'élément, dégèle également la terre qui l'entoure.  1, record 9, French, - d%C3%A9gel%20%C3%A0%20la%20vapeur
