		Typically, a Web beacon is a small (usually 1x1 pixels) transparent gif image (or an image of the same color of the background) that is embedded in an HTML page, usually a page on the Web or the content of an e-mail.
		When a user's web browser renders a webpage containing web beacons other information can be gathered by the web site, such as: the IP address of the requesting computer; time the material was viewed; the type of web browser that retrieved the web beacon image; and the existence of cookies previously set by that server.
		Web beacons are used by e-mail marketers, including spammers, to verify that e-mail addresses are valid and that the content of e-mails is actually viewed by users.

	BEACON - Historical Photo of the Month - March 2007
		A low-power, light-weight transmitting beacon was towed by a helicopter at about 10,000 feet, simulating the flight of a satellite in the distance and over the test site.
		A 450-foot nylon rope separated the beacon from the helicopter, to minimize any effects on the experiment.
		The beacon was similar in size and shape to components used less than two years later on Explorer I. Next month's Historical Photo will show further tests of tracking stations in Earthquake Valley.
