	Kordylewski Clouds
		Extremely faint patches of nebulosity, first reported by the Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski (1903-1981) in the 1950s and hypothesized to be dust that has collected at the stable Earth-Moon Lagrangian points.
		There is some evidence to suggest that they consist of fine lunar material ejected from the Moon by impacts and that they may be variable, acquiring material on the one hand and losing it, through, dynamical ejection, on the other.
		Dust ejected by the Clouds could eventually reach Earth and appear as sporadic meteors.

	Science Fair Projects - Kordylewski cloud
		They were first reported by Polish astronomer Kazimierz Kordylewski in the 1960s but there is still controversy as to whether they actually exist, due to their extreme faintness.
		They were first seen visually by Kordylewski in October 1956, when he saw a glow about 2° in angular size and half as bright as the Gegenschein.
		He then photographed them in 1961 when they seemed to change in size and shape.

		Dispersive ion beams were observed at the magnetopause and at the edges of plasma clouds in the magnetosphere.
		This suggests the gyromotion of ions on the edge of the cloud, and allows one to estimate the spatial scale of observed events.
		The IMF orientation on October 19 (strong northward component and strong negative Y-component) facilitated reconnection on the side of the cusp connected to the dawn sector of the geomagnetic tail.

		Kordylewski Clouds are dust that collects at the Earth-Moon stable L points, as do the Trojans near the Jupiter-Sun points.
		It appears therefore that the Kordylewski clouds are variable.
		The clouds are extremely faint when visible, and they require extreme dark skies.

	(meteorobs) Kordylewski Clouds
		These were discovered in the 1950's by Kordylewski and are dust that collects at the Earth-Moon stable L points, as do the Trojans near the Jupiter-Sun L points.
		So the particles in them have a source and then are dynamically ejected from the system or impact on the moon or become one of the sporadic meteors of the Earth.
		Then a K cloud should appear as a knobby "island" off the "coast" of the zodiacal light.

		In March and April 1961, Kordylewski succeeded in photographing two clouds near the expected positions.
		J. Roach detected these cloud satellites in 1975 with the OSO (Orbiting Solar Observatory) 6 spacecraft.
		In 1990 they were again photographed, this time by the polish astronomer Winiarski, who found that they were a few degrees in apparent diameter, that they "wandered" up to ten degrees away from the "trojan" point, and that they were somewhat redder than the zodiacal light.

		Otóż Kordylewski postawił hipotezę, że w tych obszarach mogą znajdować się niewielkie ciała i mogą to być dodatkowe księżyce ziemi, których nie znamy.
		Kordylewski ogłosił swoją hipotezę w roku 1951-ym i rozpoczął poszukiwania.
		W marcu i kwietniu 1961-ego roku Kordylewski sfotografował kilkakrotnie dwie chmury znajdujące się dość blisko przewidzianych pozycji.

		Clouds of dust, hailed Kordylewski clouds, undifferentiated fainter than the notoriously uncertain gegenschein, are together with started in the L4 and L5 of the Earthâ“Moon system.
		In the sci-fi list Stargate Atlantis there was a defensive Lagrangian satellite, which was largest horizontal positioned at specific of the Langrangian points.

		The Saturnian moon Tethys has two smaller moons in its L4 and L5 points, Telesto and Calypso.

		Also suppose this star is dark or at least very faint, and because of that we haven't noticed it yet.
		This would mean that once every 30 million years that hypothetical companion star of the Sun would pass through the Oort cloud (a hypothetical cloud of proto-comets at a great distance from the Sun).
		During such a passage, the proto-comets in the Oort cloud would be stirred around.

		Apologies, BY - I was actually thinking of Michael Covington's "Astro- photography for the Amateur", which has a section on photographing the ZLP and even these Kordylewski libration clouds, I think.
		So far as I know >there exists no photos of that cloud, and it would be a real challange for >an amateur to take a picture of it.
		Sirko, my German ist night what it used to be, but it seems as though both Kordylewski and J. Wesley Simpson actually photographed these clouds, in addition to their visual observations which are included in the site?

		Title: Energy interconnection between the plasma cloud ejected from the active region and the shock wave Authors: Garczynska, I. N.; Rompolt, B. Affiliation: AA(Obserwatorium Astronomiczne, Wroclaw, Poland), AB(Obserwatorium Astronomiczne, Wroclaw, Poland) Journal: Solar Physics (ISSN 0038-0938), vol.
		Using the Parker model of the propagation of a shock wave, the shock wave velocity has been compared with the plasma cloud velocity.
		In the majority of the investigated cases there exists an energetic interconnection between the plasma cloud and the shock wave.

		The speed, 11,100 feet per second higher than maximum air speed obtained previously, was achieved by firing the model from a light-gas gun into a highspeed jet of air flowing in the opposite direction from a shock-driven wind tunnel.
		June 9: NASA press conference revealed that data from Vanguard III (during November 15-17, 1960) and Explorer VIII (also during November 1960) indicated that high-velocity clouds of micrometeorites moved near the Earth, perhaps in a meteor stream around the Sun.
		---: K. Kordylewski, of the Cracow Observatory in Poland, was reported to have photographed two cloudlike objects, possibly natural satellites of the Earth.
