 Venus information - Search.com (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Venus has an atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide and a small amount of nitrogen, with a pressure at the surface about 90 times that of Earth (a pressure equivalent to a depth of 1 kilometer under Earth's oceans); its atmosphere is also roughly 90 times more massive than ours.
Venus' thick atmosphere causes meteors to decelerate as they fall toward the surface, and even large meteors will strike the surface at too low a speed to form an impact crater if they have less than a certain threshold kinetic energy.
Venus was known to ancient Babylonians around 1600 BC, and to the Mayan civilization (the Mayans developed a religious calendar based on Venus's motion) and must have been known long before in prehistoric times, given that it is the third brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon.

 Moon - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The first manmade object to land on the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959, the first photographs of the otherwise occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year, and the first people to land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969.
It may seem strange that the inclination of the lunar orbit and the tilt of the Moon's axis of rotation are listed as varying considerably.

 Mars K-12 Background Information
This was popularly mistranslated as 'canals', and the myth of the Martian canals began.
They were apparently artificial linear features on the surface that were asserted to be canals, and due to seasonal changes in the brightness of some areas that were thought to be caused by vegetation growth.
A handful of objects are known that are surely meteorites and may be of Martian origin.

In addition to this unusual retrograde rotation, the periods of Venus' rotation and of its orbit are synchronized in such a way that it always presents the same face toward Earth when the two planets are at their closest approach (5.001 Venusian days between each inferior conjunction).
The rotation rate of Venus was first measured during the 1961 conjunction, observed by radar from a 26 m antenna at Goldstone, California, the Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory in the UK, and the Soviet deep space facility in Evpatoriia.
Venus is the location of several Starfleet Academy training facilities and terraforming stations in the fictional Star Trek universe (1966–).

The first man-made object to impact the lunar surface was Luna 2, also in 1959.
The first photographs of the normally occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year.
Color constancy in the visual system recalibrates the relations between colors of an object and its surroundings; however, there is nothing next to the Moon to reflect the light falling on the Moon, therefore it is perceived as the brightest object visible.

 Moon K-12 Experiments & Background Information
The first man-made object to reach the Moon was the unmanned Soviet probe Luna 2, which made a hard landing on September 14, 1959, at 21:02:24 Z. The far side of the Moon was first photographed on October 7, 1959 by the Soviet probe Luna 3.
Luna 9 was the first probe to soft land on the Moon and transmit pictures from the Lunar surface on February 3, 1966.
The last man to stand on the Moon was Eugene Cernan, who as part of the mission Apollo 17 walked on the Moon in December 1972.

This may lead to a situation in which an object is inconsistent from a concurrency control algorithm`s point of view but is valid in the eyes of people working together because it matches the current working situation.
In this object-oriented method I define an object as a mathematical function from its domain of situations onto its range of reactions where a "situation" is the set of stimulus facts and context facts necessary and sufficient to determine the object's reaction to its stimulus.
I partition an object's mathematical function into rules by this equivalence relation on its domain of situations: "is initiated by the same stimulus" and "evokes the same reaction." Thus each rule defines the object's behavior for a class of situations.

 Stirniman's Electrogravitics Reference List
The 'artificial' gravitational field would be generated inside a container made of a superconducting material, said Dr. Douglas Torr, a research professor of physics and director of UAH's Optical Aeronomy Laboratory.
To create the artificial gravitational fields, Torr and Li propose placing a superconducting container in a magnetic field to align ions that are spinning or rotating in tiny circles inside the superconducting material.

The aim of the project is to investigate small objects in the solar system, and study the statistics of asteroids and comets in order to explore the evolution of the solar system.
While this goal covers the larger objects, which could cause global devastation, it is silent on the much more numerous smaller objects (between 50 meters and 1 km diameter) that could cause local or regional damage in an impact.
In this case objects with a diameter of up to 100-150m are destroyed by non-nuclear kinetic module and to attack larger objects it is requiredto use a nuclear explosive device.

 Solar System Anomalies III Index
A new webpage feature devoted to the Ulysses Face and the anomalous possible structures and monuments around it is in the planning and should appear in the near future at the new Solar System Anomalies V site.
The criteria used in determining anomalies are fairly straight forward regarding structures (right angles and other types of clean-edge geometry, along with neatly wide bordered enclosures are common and suspiciously artificial in appearance) and other out-of-place forms and objects.
Regarding the color mapping method, it is rare that color is used to "connect the dots", that is to speculatively create any form that was not clearly visible in the original uncolored image, as double-checking the originals, even unprocessed, can quickly reveal.
