16 ASTRONOMICAL INFORMATION | New Zealand Nautical Almanac 2020 – 21ASTRONOMICALPLANET VISIBILITY2020 – 2021The following diagrams show, in graphical form, when the five “naked-eye” planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are visible in the night sky during the period July 2020 – June 2021.Each diagram spans the hours of darkness, covering the period from 16:00 to 08:00 with midnight being represented by the central line across the diagram. For a given date, time runs from the bottom to the top of the diagram. Times are shown in terms of New Zealand Standard Time; one hour must be added when New Zealand Daylight Time is in force. Each diagram is plotted for Wellington; time differences at other locations in New Zealand will generally not exceed an hour.In addition to the planet information, the diagrams show the time of sunset and sunrise as well as the end and start of astronomical twilight which is the time when the Sun is 18° below the horizon. The shaded area of each diagram indicates the range of dates/times that the planet is visible in the

NED - NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database

Image
The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database ( NED ) is an on-line astronomical database for astronomers that collates and cross-correlates astronomical information on extragalactic objects (galaxies, quasars, radio, x-ray and infrared sources, etc.). NED was created in the late 1980s by two Pasadena astronomers, George Helou and Barry F. Madore. NED is funded by NASA and is operated by the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC) on the campus of the California Institute of Technology , under contract with NASA . NED is built around a master list of extragalactic objects for which cross-identifications of names have been established, accurate positions and redshifts entered to the extent possible, and some basic data collected. Bibliographic references relevant to individual objects have been compiled, and abstracts of extragalactic interest are kept on line. Detailed and referenced photometry, position, and redshift data, have been taken from large compilations and from

Schiaparelli EDM lander [skjapaˈɾɛlːi] was the Entry, Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM) of the ExoMars programme—a joint mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian space agency Roscosmos . [4] It was built in Italy and was intended to test technology for future soft landings on the surface of Mars . [5] It also had a limited but focused science payload that would have measured atmospheric electricity on Mars and local meteorological conditions.
