Because SparkNotes provides study guides for literature that include chapter summaries, many teachers see the website as a cheating tool. [7] These teachers argue that students can use SparkNotes as a replacement for actually completing reading assignments with the original material, [8] [9] [10] or to cheat during tests using cell phones with Internet access.
[14]: 1, 5 [7]: 1 The innermost ring of J1407b's disk extends out to a radius of 0.206 AU (30.8 million km; 19.1 million mi) and is the most opaque region of the disk. [ 14 ] : 9 Assuming the rings have a mass density proportional to their opacity, the total mass of J1407b's disk is roughly 100 lunar masses (1.23 Earth masses ).
It belongs to the Carme group, made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter at a distance ranging between 23 and 24 Gm and at an inclination of about 165°. Kalyke is redder in color (B−V=0.94, V−R=0.70) than other moons of the Carme group, suggesting that it is a captured centaur or TNO , or a remnant of such an object that ...
The first circumbinary planet around a main sequence star was found in 2005 in the system HD 202206: a Jupiter-size planet orbiting a system composed of a Sun-like star and a brown dwarf. [ 6 ] HD 202206 is a Sun-like star orbited by two objects, one of 17 M J and one of 2.4 M J .
It was discovered by a team of astronomers from the University of Hawaii led by Scott S. Sheppard in 2001, and given the temporary designation S/2001 J 11. [ 6 ] [ 1 ] Aitne belongs to the Carme group , made up of irregular retrograde moons orbiting Jupiter at a distance ranging between 23 and 24 Gm and at an inclination of about 165°.
It received the temporary designation S/2003 J 7. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Aoede is about 10 kilometres in diameter, and orbits Jupiter at an average distance of 23,044,000 km in 714.657 days, at an inclination of 160° to the ecliptic (162° to Jupiter's equator), in a retrograde direction and with an eccentricity of 0.4311.
