SIGN UP ⋅   WEBSITE   The Launchpad (Daniel Puchalski) Mysterious blue spiral spotted over European skies A strange blue spiral lit up the skies over Europe on Monday night (March 24), causing residents of the U.K. and other European countries like Croatia, Poland, and Hungary to flood social media with photos and videos, along with requests to identify this weird light. Some users even speculated that the spiral could be the work of aliens! Read More Space Quiz! How many stars are typical inside a Dwarf Galaxy? Learn the answer here! Hundreds of thousands Around a million A few thousand A few billion (NASA) Artemis websites remove 'first woman, person of color' NASA websites no longer state that the Artemis 3 lunar mission will aim to land the first person of color and the first woman on the moon - a longstanding goal of the Artemis program that the agency has consistently called upon when discussing lunar plans. Read More Skywatching (Starry Night) 'Solar horns' will appear during March 29 solar eclipse For North Americans in the right place at the right time -- and who get clear skies - there's a chance to see the unique spectacle of "solar horns," a phenomenon where the cusps of an eclipsed crescent sun appear as two distinct points above the horizon during sunrise. For observers in the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada aiming to witness this rare event, selecting the optimal location is crucial.

And while you're at it, plop down a stack of doubloons and conjure up visions of Captain Jack Sparrow! Talk about "high crimes" and misdemeanors. The growing pace of space as a commercial resource brings with it the prospect for misdeeds, corruption, piracy, and war. The Center for the Study of Space Crime, Policy, and Governance (CSCPG) is looking into the risks of piracy in space and solutions to this potentially devastating economic and legal problem.

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 28.03 в 11:30 будет заслушан 1 доклад:
1). Кудряшов Сергей Иванович (ФИАН им. П.Н. Лебедева РАН)
Развитие двухтемпературной модели для описания фемтосекундной лазерной абляции материалов с фотогенерацией носителей и экспериментальный поиск ее параметров

Исторически двухтемпературная модель была предложена для описания эволюции температур связанных электронной и ионной подсистем простых металлов, возбужденных ультракоротким лазерным импульсом (длительность — короче времени электрон-ионной релаксации). Позднее, модель усложнялась в плане учета температурных зависимостей ключевых параметров — электронной теплоемкости, температуропроводности и константы электрон-ионной связи от плотности электронных состояний, в том числе — для металлов со сложной структурой спектра (переходные металлы). В последнее время, модель развивалась в применении к материалам с переменной плотностью носителей ( в т.ч. — полупроводников и диэлектриков) включением кинетики их фотогенерации и релаксации, параметры которой обычно неизвестны. В докладе представлены некоторые экспериментальные подходы, позволяющие получить основной набор ключевых параметров для описания фемтосекундной лазерной абляции простых и сложных металлов, полупроводников и диэлектриков в рамках двухтемпературной модели.

ID и пароль онлайн-трансляций в Zoom те же, что и для предыдущих трансляций семинаров и докладов на Ученом совете:

Meeting ID: 968 9936 4518
Пароль: 250319

При числе желающих не менее 5 будет организован автобус.
Для записи на автобус из Москвы в Черноголовку необходимо до 18:00 четверга отправить письмо на адрес электронной почты bus@itp.ac.ru
После этого записавшимся до 20:00 поступит подтверждение об отправке или неотправке автобуса в зависимости от числа записавшихся.
Запись на обратный автобус - на Ученом совете.

Don’t Miss This Week’s Skywatching Highlights – Plus a Partial Solar Eclipse!

Farewell to winter’s night sky, a dazzling eclipse, and a challenge to spot the slim crescent moon Created for znamenski.spacecom@blogger.com | Web Version March 24, 2025 CONNECT WITH NIGHT SKY THIS WEEK      Just Look Up! SIGN UP ⋅   SHARE What's Up This Week? Hello Skywatchers! This week brings a mix of farewells and new celestial sights. The last traces of the winter Milky Way are fading into the western horizon, and the Winter Triangle makes one of its final evening appearances. But the biggest event of the week is the partial solar eclipse on March 29, offering a striking view for skywatchers across Europe, northeastern North America, and beyond — be sure to check out our in-depth guide for all the details! Plus, don't miss the challenge of spotting an ultra-thin crescent moon after sunset on Sunday. Here's what's happening in the night sky this week! Clear skies, Daisy Reference Editor, Space.com (Starry Night) Wednesday, March 26 — Last Look at the Winter Milky Way As twilight fades, the final traces of winter's night sky stretch across the west. Look from Monoceros in the southwest to Cassiopeia in the northwest, and you'll see bright planets and famous constellations glowing against the soft band of the winter Milky Way. Jupiter shines in the west, with Aldebaran and the Pleiades below, Capella to the right, and Mars to the left. Beyond Jupiter, Orion's stars and the dazzling Sirius complete the scene. Find a dark-sky spot and enjoy this view before these winter gems sink below the horizon. More Highlights (Starry Night) Friday, March 28 — The Winter Triangle's Farewell Catch this winter night sight while you can! Just after dark, look south to find Sirius, the brightest star, with Orion's Belt pointing straight at it. Above Sirius, Procyon in Canis Minor shines to the left, and Betelgeuse in Orion glows to the right, forming the Winter Triangle. Extend those lines further, and you'll find Mars and Jupiter, adding to the spectacle.  More Highlights (SOPA Images/Getty Images) Saturday, March 29 — Partial Solar Eclipse A partial solar eclipse will grace the sky today, with the moon covering up to 94% of the sun at its peak. The eclipse will be visible across the northeastern U.S., Canada, Greenland, most of Europe, and parts of Africa and Russia. It begins at 4:50 a.m. EDT (0850 GMT) and reaches its maximum at 6:47 a.m. EDT (1047 GMT) over Hudson Bay, Canada. Remember: Never look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. More Highlights (Starry Night) Sunday, March 30 — A Delicate Crescent Moon Here's a sight few ever catch — a whisper-thin 3% waxing crescent moon just after sunset. Look low in the west, directly below bright Jupiter. It's faint, so binoculars may help reveal it. For skywatchers in the U.K., don't forget — clocks go forward by an hour tonight! More Highlights Moon Calendar (Allison Bailey/Getty Images) Partial Solar Eclipse — Everything You Need to Know The highlight of this week's lunar phases will undoubtedly be the new moon, which coincides with a partial solar eclipse on March 29. During this event, the moon will partially obscure the sun's disk.  The eclipse will be visible across much of Europe and the far eastern regions of North America. The timing of the event varies by location, with the first sighting of the partial eclipse beginning at 4:50 a.m. EDT (0850 GMT). Remember, it is NEVER safe to look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. To view every stage of the partial solar eclipse safely, you'll need specialized solar protection, such as eclipse glasses or a solar filter for telescopes or binoculars. Read More Your Amazing Astrophotos (Miguel Claro) Stunning space photo captures bright blue shock wave around double star system This beautiful deep-field image of the Cassiopeia constellation, bathed in the glow of ionized hydrogen gas, was captured by photographer Miguel Claro. It showcases two remarkable planetary nebulas — Abell 6 (left) and the larger HFG1 (right). These delicate structures are the remnants of dying medium-sized stars, much like our own sun, offering a glimpse into the final stages of stellar evolution.
