Ananke (moon)

Ananke is a retrograde irregular moon of Jupiter.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Ananke (moon)

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 Seth Barnes Nicholson and Asteroid

Astronomer

An astronomer is a scientist in the field of astronomy who focuses their studies on a specific question or field outside the scope of Earth.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Astronomer

Astronomical Society of the Pacific

The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) is an American scientific and educational organization, founded in San Francisco on February 7, 1889, immediately following the solar eclipse of January 1, 1889.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Astronomical Society of the Pacific

Astronomy

Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and the phenomena that occur in the cosmos.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Astronomy

Bruce Medal

The Catherine Wolfe Bruce Gold Medal is awarded every year by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific for outstanding lifetime contributions to astronomy.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Bruce Medal

Carme (moon)

Carme is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Carme (moon)

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 Seth Barnes Nicholson and Comet

Drake University

Drake University is a private university in Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Drake University

Eclipse

An eclipse is an astronomical event which occurs when an astronomical object or spacecraft is temporarily obscured, by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Eclipse

Edison Pettit

Edison Pettit (September 22, 1889 – May 6, 1962) was an American astronomer.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Edison Pettit

Ganymede (moon)

Ganymede, or Jupiter III, is the largest and most massive natural satellite of Jupiter and in the Solar System.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Ganymede (moon)

George Ellery Hale

George Ellery Hale (June 29, 1868 – February 21, 1938) was an American astrophysicist, best known for his discovery of magnetic fields in sunspots, and as the leader or key figure in the planning or construction of several world-leading telescopes; namely, the 40-inch refracting telescope at Yerkes Observatory, 60-inch Hale reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory, 100-inch Hooker reflecting telescope at Mount Wilson, and the 200-inch Hale reflecting telescope at Palomar Observatory.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and George Ellery Hale

Hale's law

In solar physics, Hale's law, also known as Hale's polarity law or the Hale–Nicholson law, is an empirical law for the orientation of magnetic fields in solar active regions.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Hale's law

Infrared

Infrared (IR; sometimes called infrared light) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than that of visible light but shorter than microwaves.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Infrared

Jupiter

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Jupiter

Lick Observatory

The Lick Observatory is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the University of California.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Lick Observatory

List of craters on Mars: H–N

This is a partial list of craters on Mars.

Los Angeles

Los Angeles, often referred to by its initials L.A., is the most populous city in the U.S. state of California.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Los Angeles

Lysithea (moon)

Lysithea is a prograde irregular satellite of Jupiter.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Lysithea (moon)

Moon

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite.

Myrtle L. Richmond

Myrtle Leila Richmond (September 30, 1882 – January 2, 1973) was an American astronomical researcher, a computer who worked at the Mount Wilson Observatory from 1913 to 1947.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Myrtle L. Richmond

Natural satellite

A natural satellite is, in the most common usage, an astronomical body that orbits a planet, dwarf planet, or small Solar System body (or sometimes another natural satellite).

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Natural satellite

Nicholson (lunar crater)

Nicholson is a lunar impact crater located at the western limb.

See Seth Barnes Nicholson and Nicholson (lunar crater)

Orbit

In celestial mechanics, an orbit (also known as orbital revolution) is the curved trajectory of an object such as the trajectory of a planet around a star, or of a natural satellite around a planet, or of an artificial satellite around an object or position in space such as a planet, moon, asteroid, or Lagrange point.
