Albedo

Albedo is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body.

See 64 Angelina and Albedo

In a poem by the Greek poet Pindar (5th-century BC), Angelia (Ancient Greek: Ἀγγελία ('Message') is mentioned as a daughter of the Greek messenger-god Hermes, where she is understood as "message" personified.

See 64 Angelina and Angelia

Arecibo Observatory

The Arecibo Observatory, also known as the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC) and formerly known as the Arecibo Ionosphere Observatory, is an observatory in Barrio Esperanza, Arecibo, Puerto Rico owned by the US National Science Foundation (NSF).

Asteroid

An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a true planet nor an identified comet— that orbits within the inner Solar System.

See 64 Angelina and Asteroid

Asteroid belt

The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.

See 64 Angelina and Asteroid belt

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

See 64 Angelina and Astronomical unit

Benjamin Valz

Jean Elias Benjamin Valz (May 27, 1787 – April 22, 1867) was a French astronomer.

See 64 Angelina and Benjamin Valz

Comet

A comet is an icy, small Solar System body that warms and begins to release gases when passing close to the Sun, a process called outgassing.

See 64 Angelina and Comet

E-type asteroid

E-type asteroids are asteroids thought to have enstatite (MgSiO3) achondrite surfaces. 64 Angelina and e-type asteroid are e-type asteroids (Tholen).

Franz Xaver von Zach

Baron Franz Xaver von Zach (Franz Xaver Freiherr von Zach; 4 June 1754 – 2 September 1832) was a Hungarian astronomer born at Pest, Hungary (now Budapest in Hungary).

IRAS

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (Dutch: Infrarood Astronomische Satelliet) (IRAS) was the first space telescope to perform a survey of the entire night sky at infrared wavelengths.

See 64 Angelina and IRAS

Julian day

The Julian day is the continuous count of days since the beginning of the Julian period, and is used primarily by astronomers, and in software for easily calculating elapsed days between two events (e.g. food production date and sell by date).

See 64 Angelina and Julian day

Julian year (astronomy)

In astronomy, a Julian year (symbol: a or aj) is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of SI seconds each.

See 64 Angelina and Julian year (astronomy)

Light curve

In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of the light intensity of a celestial object or region as a function of time, typically with the magnitude of light received on the y-axis and with time on the x-axis.

See 64 Angelina and Light curve

Marseille

Marseille or Marseilles (Marseille; Marselha; see below) is the prefecture of the French department of Bouches-du-Rhône and of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

See 64 Angelina and Marseille

Marseille Observatory

Marseille Observatory (Observatoire de Marseille) is an astronomical observatory located in Marseille, France, with a history that goes back to the early 18th century.

Minor-planet designation

A formal minor-planet designation is, in its final form, a number–name combination given to a minor planet (asteroid, centaur, trans-Neptunian object and dwarf planet but not comet).

See 64 Angelina and Minor-planet designation

Orders of magnitude (length)

The following are examples of orders of magnitude for different lengths.

Radar astronomy

Radar astronomy is a technique of observing nearby astronomical objects by reflecting radio waves or microwaves off target objects and analyzing their reflections.

See 64 Angelina and Radar astronomy

Wilhelm Tempel

Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel (4 December 1821 – 16 March 1889), normally known as Wilhelm Tempel, was a German astronomer who worked in Marseille until the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, then later moved to Italy. 64 Angelina and Wilhelm Tempel are Discoveries by Wilhelm Tempel.

44 Nysa

Nysa (minor planet designation: 44 Nysa) is a large and very bright main-belt asteroid, and the brightest member of the Nysian asteroid family. 64 Angelina and 44 Nysa are e-type asteroids (Tholen), minor planet object articles (numbered) and Named minor planets.

See 64 Angelina and 44 Nysa

55 Pandora

Pandora (minor planet designation: 55 Pandora) is a fairly large and very bright asteroid in the asteroid belt. 64 Angelina and 55 Pandora are Background asteroids, minor planet object articles (numbered) and Named minor planets.
