A truly dark sky has a surface brightness of 2 × 10 −4 cd m −2 or 21.8 mag arcsec −2. [9] [clarification needed] The peak surface brightness of the central region of the Orion Nebula is about 17 Mag/arcsec 2 (about 14 milli nits) and the outer bluish glow has a peak surface brightness of 21.3 Mag/arcsec 2 (about 0.27 millinits).

Several notations for the inverse trigonometric functions exist. The most common convention is to name inverse trigonometric functions using an arc- prefix: arcsin(x), arccos(x), arctan(x), etc. [1] (This convention is used throughout this article.)
A ray through the unit hyperbola = in the point (,), where is twice the area between the ray, the hyperbola, and the -axis. The earliest and most widely adopted symbols use the prefix arc-(that is: arcsinh, arccosh, arctanh, arcsech, arccsch, arccoth), by analogy with the inverse circular functions (arcsin, etc.).
mag/arcsec 2 Description 1 Excellent dark-sky site 7.6–8.0 21.76 - 22.0 the zodiacal light is visible and colorful; the gegenschein is readily visible; the zodiacal band is visible; airglow is readily visible; the Scorpius and Sagittarius regions of the Milky Way cast obvious shadows
(The S 10 unit is defined as the surface brightness of a star whose V-magnitude is 10 and whose light is smeared over one square degree, or 27.78 mag arcsec −2.) The total sky brightness in zenith is therefore ~220 S 10 or 21.9 mag/arcsec² in the V-band. Note that the contributions from Airglow and Zodiacal light vary with the time of year ...
Substituting into the formula and re-arranging, we get (/) which gives the required answer. (Problem 5.2 of Galaxies in the Universe: An Introduction ): Show that the central surface brightness of 15 m a g / a r c s e c 2 {\displaystyle mag/arcsec^{2}} in the I band corresponds to 18000 L ⊙ / p c 2 {\displaystyle 18000L_{\odot }/pc^{2}}
Studies show that keeping your head at the appropriate height—about 2 inches (or 5 centimeters) off the bed—helps air flow into the lungs and stabilizes your respiratory function. However ...
A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.
