Astronomical seeing refers to the blurring and twinkling of astronomical objects such as stars caused by the Earth's atmosphere. The astronomical seeing conditions on a given night at a given location describe how much the Earth's atmosphere perturbs the images of stars as seen through a telescope. The most common seeing measurement is the diameter (technically Full Width Half Maximum) of the seeing disc. The seeing disc diameter ("seeing") is a reference to the best possible angular resolution which can be achiev ...

Typical short-exposure negative image of a binary star (Zeta Bootis in this case) as seen through atmospheric seeing. Each star should appear as a single point, but the atmosphere causes the images of the two stars to break up into two patterns of speckles (one pattern above left, the other below right). The speckles are a little difficult to make out in this image due to the coarse pixel size on the camera used (see the simulated images below for a clearer example). The speckles move around rapidly, so that each star appears as a sin ...

Although the Holy See is closely associated with the Vatican City, the independent territory over which the Holy See is sovereign, the two entities are separate and distinct. Since medieval times the Holy See has been recognized as a legal personality under international law. After the Italian takeover of the Papal States in 1870, there was some uncertainty among jurists as to whether the Holy See, without territorial sovereignty, could continue to act as an independent personality in international matters. The State of the Vatican Ci ...

Spike's attempted rape of Buffy pushes him to the point where his love for Buffy and his self-disgust lead him to what might be considered the ultimate sacr ...

The switch from the Nerds to Dark Willow as the Big Bad of the season is quite possibly the strongest and best executed surprise of the whole series. The writers take care to set up the rest of the episode to seem perfectly normal, for instance when they take the time to have Xander and Anya work on their feelings for each other. Though it has been pointed out that it is actually impossible for Warren to hit Tara from where he was standing, the plot device itself is believable and ...
