Elite Dangerous [a] is an online space flight simulation game developed and published by Frontier Developments. The player commands a spaceship and explores a realistic 1:1 scale , open-world representation of the Milky Way galaxy, with the gameplay being open-ended .
Surface brightness and velocity field of the inner part of Sagittarius A West. Sgr A West has the appearance of a three-arm spiral, from the point of view of the Earth. For this reason, it is also known as the "Minispiral". This appearance and nickname are misleading, though: the three-dimensional structure of the Minispiral is not that of a ...
This is a list of Internet exchange points . There are several sources for IXP locations, including Packet Clearing House , who have maintained the earliest list of IXPs, with global coverage since 1994.
In mathematics, geology, and cartography, a surface map is a 2D perspective representation of a 3-dimensional surface. [1] Surface maps usually represent real-world entities such as landforms or the surfaces of objects. They can, however, serve as an abstraction where the third, or even all of the dimensions correspond to non-spatial data.
A point cloud image of a torus Geo-referenced point cloud of Red Rocks, Colorado (by DroneMapper) A point cloud is a discrete set of data points in space. The points may represent a 3D shape or object. Each point position has its set of Cartesian coordinates (X, Y, Z).
In Mountains's vocabulary, these data types are referred to as "studiables". Most studiables have a dynamic (time-series) equivalent, e.g., the surface studiable z = f ( x , y ) {\displaystyle z=f(x,y)} used to study topography has an associate studiable Series of Surfaces z = f ( x , y , t ) {\displaystyle z=f(x,y,t)} used to study the ...
The game Elite is widely considered to be the breakthrough game of the genre, [1] [2] [3] and as having successfully melded the "space trading" and flight sim genres. [4] Elite was highly influential upon later games of its type, although it did have some precursors. Games similar to Elite are sometimes called "Elite-clones". [5] [6] [7] [8]
A geodetic reference datum is a known and constant surface which is used to describe the location of unknown points on Earth. Since reference datums can have different radii and different center points, a specific point on Earth can have substantially different coordinates depending on the datum used to make the measurement.
