After all, it involves being in a place where few or none have been before, whether it is the top of a mountain, the bottom of the ocean, or the surface of another world. Historically, part of the reason that exploration is so difficult is because most... Read more

node node
node in astronomy, point at which the orbit of a body crosses a reference plane. One reference plane that is often used is the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun ( ecliptic ). Since the moon's orbit has an inclination of 5°9′ to the plane of the ecliptic, there are two nodes in... Read more
radar astronomy radar astronomy
radar astronomy application of radar to the determination of distances and planetary features within the solar system, such as rotation rates. A short burst of radio waves is transmitted in the direction of the object under study. The object reflects the radio waves back to earth, where they are... Read more
