	M103
		Messier object M103 is a open cluster which is located in the constellation Cassiopeia.
		M103 is located at 01 33.2 right ascension and 60 42 declination.
		M103 is unnamed and has an NGC catalog number of NGC 581.

	Messier Object 103
		Open cluster M103 is one of the "latest additions" (together with M101 and 102) to his catalog, which Charles Messier included from Pierre Méchain's report, but had no occasion and no time to observe before publication.
		Harlow Shapley, who classified M103 as a loose and poor cluster, and thus classified it as of type 'd', once doubted its existance and considered it may be just an accidental grouping of physically unrelated stars at different distances.
		The latter is sometimes mentioned as a candidate to be confused with M103.

	Messier M103 - NGC581; Open Cluster
		M103, is a loose open cluster in Cassiopeia, one of the more remote in Messier's catalogue.
		M103 was discovered by Pierre Méchain in March 1781 and subsequently catalogued by Charles Messier who wrote "(Méchain) `Cluster of stars between Epsilon and Delta of the leg of Cassiopeia' ".
		M103 was the last object to be included in the first publication of Messier's catalogue.

	M103 (NGC 1912)
		M103 has an estimated age of 20 million years.
		However, close to the center of the cluster is a bright star (type M6 III, mag 10.8) that has evolved to the red giant stage.
		In binoculars, M103 is easy to find and appears as a nebulous fan-shaped patch.

	120mm Gun Tank M103
		Perhaps the most striking feature of the M103 heavy tank was its massive turret, in which the commander sat far to the rear.
		The engine exhaust was vented through the rear deck, and a deflecting shield was installed to direct the hot air rearwards and away from the turret bustle, although that feature seems to be missing from this vehicle.
		This vehicle, sitting in the Patton Museum's motor pool, is actually the first pilot T43, the pre-production model of the M103.

		M103 est l'une des "dernières additions" (avec M101 et M102) que Charles Messier inclut dans son catalogue à partir des rapports de Pierre Méchain, mais n'eut pas le temps d'observer avant publication.
		M103 contient une géante rouge, bien visible sur les photos couleur, de magnitude 10,8 et de type spectral gM6, selon Burnham.
		Dans des jumelles M103 est facile à trouver et à identifier, étant bien reconnaissable comme une tache nébuleuse en forme d'éventail.

	M 103
		The M103 was the late offspring of the US heavy tank projects T30 and finally the T43 which led to the M46 and M47 tanks.
		The M103 as it finally appeared bears a strong family resamblance to the M47/ M48 Patton tanks.
		The original M103 powerplant was the same as that of the M47 and early M48 resulting in the 65to tank being heavyly underpowered and mechanically unreliable.

	M103
		M103 is a relatively sparse open cluster, containing only about 40 stars, at a distance of about 9000 light years.
		Although Messier listed this object in his catalog, he based this inclusion on the reports of Pierre Mechain, who discovered this cluster in 1781.
		M103 forms a glittering triangular jewel in a small telescope.

	M103
		M103 é l'ultimo oggetto del Catalogo Messier originale: gli altri oggetti, da M104 ad M110, sono stati aggiunti successivamente, a partire dal 1921, quando Flammarion incluse nel Catalogo M104 sulla base di un manoscritto dello stesso Messier del 1784.
		M103 non é una scoperta di Messier, anzi Messier non la osservò neppure, almeno prima della pubblicazione del Catalogo: la scoperta gli fu passata da Méchain, che la osservò nel 1781.
		M103 ha una velocità di avvicinamento rispetto a noi di circa 37 km/sec.

	M103 3.0 to 3.6 Build Discussion - Page 2 - ShopForum
		The guy I bought the C36 parts from in Germany remains steadfast that he has built a 3.6L M103 and that the problem won't occur if the cylinders are bored to 91mm and C36 pistons are used.
		Problem is with the rods, I thought the m103 2.8 rods would work but they are to long, actually longer than the stock 3.0 rods.
		If the 92.4mm crank pushes the pistons out of the block by 1/16 (1.588mm) then the pistons should stop 4.487mm before the top of the block using the stock 80.25mm crank (the change in TDC position is half the increase in stroke, ie 6.075mm).

		Of the stars that were formed, the brightest, bluest, and most massive have already used up their nuclear fuel and self-destructed in supernova explosions.
		A 20 million-year age for M103 was estimated by finding the brightest main-sequence stars that still survive and theoretically computing their lifetimes.
		In general, yellow stars like our Sun are usually less bright and hence less prominent in open clusters than their massive blue cousins.

	M103 heavy tank - Enpsychlopedia
		The M103 heavy tank was a tank of 65 tons, it was the heaviest and most heavily armed tank in service in the United States Army and the US Marines during the Cold War.
		The successive versions of the M103 shared many components with the M47, the M48 Patton tank and the M60, which were all considered medium tanks.
		The turret of the M103 was larger than that of the M48 or the M60 to make room for the huge 120 mm gun and the two loaders assigned to it, in addition to the gunner and the commander.

	Belt of Venus: M103 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-06-10)
		M103 is one of the more distant open clusters in the Messier catalog.
		It's distance is estimated between 8000 and 9200 light years, with some uncertainty due to an unknown amount of light absorption in the intervening space.
		While the main sequence stars of M103 point to an age of 9 million years, the Sky Catalogue 2000.0 gives a much higher age of 22 million years, and the Geneva team of G. Meynet provide an age of 25 million years.

		Quasi esattamente a metà strada tra e e d Cas, si trova in una regione particolarmente ricca di ammassi galattici; un po’ più di 1,5° a sudest c’è M103, ma molto più vicini sono NGC663 (35’ a sud-sudest) ed NGC659 (1° a sud).

	M103 Heavy Tank
		The M103, the Heavy Tank variant of the M48 series, was designed to counter to the Soviet's JS III heavy tanks, which outclassed all other US tanks during the immediate period following World War II.
		The M103 had one additional road wheel on each side, though unlike the M48 most of the M103's torsion arms had shock absorbers.
		While the M103 hull was similar in shape to the M48, it was longer and wider, and had thicker armor with better ballistic shape in the forward hull.

		The M103 heavy tank was intended to take on the Soviet IS-3 and T-10 series of heavy tanks.
		The improvements made to the tanks finally allowed the design to meet Continental Army Command standards, however by the time the new features were ready to be rolled out the Army had relegated the M103 to standby status and did not plan further production.
		The Marine Corps, however, approved conversion of 219 of their M103s to M103A1 standard in June 1957.

Attention: The M103 course is primarily intended for students who seek only to meet the mathematics requirement for a B.S. degree or for students whose further study of mathematics will be limited to statistics.
		Prerequisite, M101: To be successful in M103 you need to have a working knowledge of the algebra and geometry concepts covered in M101 (intermediate algebra).
		Basically this means you should able to manipulate variable expressions, solve simple equations, work with fractions and exponents, and know the basic properties of simple geometric shapes.
