Aero-Linx: A Pilot's Guide to Ground
Icing
What do you say to a FREE online course that teaches some of the
rudiments of ground icing? NASA has just that, for you. Every pilot
who could encounter ground icing - whether their aircraft needs to
be cleaned or protected from frozen contamination needs to spend
some time with this site.
Aleutian Low
A semi-permanent, subpolar area of low pressure located in the
Gulf of Alaska near the Aleutian Islands. It is a generating area
for storms and migratory lows often reach maximum intensity in this
area. It is most active during the late fall to late spring. During
the summer, it is weaker, retreating towards the North Pole and
becoming almost nonexistent. During this time, the North Pacific
High pressure system dominates.
"Fifteen years ago, we made a film about space
exploration that included Hubble, when it started sending back the
first images. Today, we have Hubble's entire phenomenal legacy of
data to explore. With IMAX 3-D, we can transport people to galaxies
that are 13 billion light years away -- back to the edge of time.
Real star travel is here at last."

Myers, commenting on the IMAX 3-D cameras that are going along,
again, to film the work done on the final servicing mission
tot he Hubble Space Telescope.
