[Solution to Problem] According to the present invention, the starry sky reproduction apparatus is a laminating sheet that is pasted up N layers (N≧2) of light reducing effect sheet. Under the condition that M and L is integer number, magnitude is N≧M>L≧1, and when the laminating sheet is stacked L layers, the L-Layer light transmittable through hole will be formed. Light beam can go over the sheet passing through the hole. Additionally, M-Layer light transmittable through hole is formed under the condition that the laminating sheet is stacked M layers, and the hole is located in the different position of the L-Layer light transmittable through hole, then the L layer-transit beam, which passes through the L-Layer light transmittable through hole, and the M layer-transit beam, which passes through the M-Layer light transmittable through hole, can be observed as 2 different transmitted light with different brightness magnitude. That can be happened with the difference of the light redaction-ratio between the L and M beams.

Rotating celestial sphere

FIELD: physics.SUBSTANCE: rotating celestial sphere is an astronomical computer-mechanical device simulating actual daily and annual movement, including sunrise and sunset of celestial bodies. It can be used both in scientific research and educational purposes, and for the purpose of recreation. Rotating celestial sphere can serve as a training aid for equipping celestial classes of general and specialized schools and universities. Prototype of the claimed rotating celestial sphere is the known old structure of the armillary sphere - an astronomical device used to determine equatorial or ecliptic coordinates of celestial bodies, the invention of which is attributed to the ancient Greek geometry Eratosthenes (III century BC). Subsequently, armillary sphere was also used as visual teaching aid as model of Celestial Sphere. In contrast to prototype, that is from the armillary sphere, which remained fixed, the claimed invention in the form of a rotating celestial sphere is a computer-mechanical moving model. Armillary sphere disadvantages are caused by its immobility and impossibility due to its use for continuous determination of actual relative location of moving celestial bodies. In contrast to the armillary sphere, the proposed computer-mechanical model of the rotating celestial sphere is intended, after setting its primary orientation, to continuously indicate the actual, constantly changing position of celestial bodies. At that, movement of the horizon relative to the most movable celestial sphere is caused by invariable level of liquid in the local gravitational field of the Earth.EFFECT: rotating celestial sphere not only enables to detect stars from any point of the Earth, including the Sun, determining their projections as corresponding stars, including the Sun, but also determines the observed constantly changing Horizon.1 cl, 2 dwg РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ (19) RU (11) (13) 2 730 227 C1 (51) МПК G09B 27/00 (2006.01) ФЕДЕРАЛЬНАЯ СЛУЖБА ПО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЙ ...

Method for determining orientation by images of starry sky areas

FIELD: astronomy. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods for determining the orientation by the coordinates of the observed stars, mainly for navigation purposes, in particular, for space navigation, by determining the position of the spacecraft relative to the images of stars observed by a stellar orientation device. The essence of the proposed technical solution lies in the fact that when compiling the on-board catalogue of the placement of stars in the feature coordinate space of pairwise distances between stars and when making determinations from the images of the starry sky, the coordinates of the stars in the feature space are represented by the remainders of dividing by the coefficients selected for a decrease for each of the coordinate directions. The remainders from this division form the address of the star in the onboard catalogue, which is used to find the spatial coordinates of the stars in the sky. EFFECT: present method makes it possible to quickly find the spatial coordinates of the observed stars to determine the orientation without enumerating the data of the onboard catalogue. The introduced transformation of the feature space makes it possible to significantly reduce its volume, as well as the required size of the required memory for its storage. In this case, the number of stars in the onboard catalogue does not change significantly. 1 cl, 2 dwg РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ (19) RU (11) (13) 2 749 580 C1 (51) МПК G01C 21/02 (2006.01) G01C 21/24 (2006.01) G09B 27/04 (2006.01) ФЕДЕРАЛЬНАЯ СЛУЖБА ПО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЙ СОБСТВЕННОСТИ (12) ОПИСАНИЕ ИЗОБРЕТЕНИЯ К ПАТЕНТУ (52) СПК G01C 21/025 (2021.02); G01C 21/24 (2021.02); G09B 27/04 (2021.02) (21)(22) Заявка: 2020126098, 05.08.2020 (24) Дата начала отсчета срока действия патента: Дата регистрации: Приоритет(ы): (22) Дата подачи заявки: 05.08.2020 (45) Опубликовано: 15.06.2021 Бюл. № 17 2 7 4 9 5 8 0 R U (56) Список документов, цитированных в отчете о поиске: RU 2638077 C1, 11.12.2017.

Sky at night simulator - has micro computer controlling light sources placed under hemispherical frame

The astronomical simulator is designed to simulate the sky at night. It uses luminous sources placed under a hemispherical frame. Simulation of the displacement of heavenly bodies is exclusively achieved by selective illumination of the luminous sources, without any mechanical movement at the centre of the hemisphere or elsewhere. The simulator may also be used to represent atomic models, crystal networks or galactic models. The same luminous sources are used but they are illuminated according to different programmes provided by a programmable mini computer.

Astrological chart in disc or rectangular form - sums algebraically favourable and unfavourable astral influences for given person

The astrological chart is designed to interpret the astral conditions of a given day for a determined individual. A representation of the astral birth sign of the individual and a similar representation of the damp astral configuration are superposed. One of the two representations is transparent to permit reading. The astral influences and their aspects are balanced on the second representation and are evaluated in at least a house of the astral sign, by summing algebraically the favourable and unfavourable influences which appear.
