Eastern promise

Article Abstract:

Edmond Halley, the professor of geometry from Oxford University surveyed the two churches in east London namely, the Christ Church Spitalfields and St Anne's Limehouse, both joined together by thorough accuracy on the east west axis. However, it appears that Halley coordinated with Hawksmoor to confirm the exact point of alignment by using the declination corrected compass of Edmond Halley.

Inside information

Article Abstract:

Two satellites, CloudSat and CALIPSO that are scheduled for launch in October 2005, will use radar and an equivalent technology based on light waves known as lidar to study the effect that the clouds have on the Earth's climate. The satellites' new observations should help modelers to see whether their simulated clouds are not only over the right region but also at the correct height.
