Many places let you specify a shipping address that's different from a billing address. For example, I've ordered items off Amazon and had them sent directly to the intended recipients. I've had whole batches of Christmas presents shipped to my in-laws' house where we would be spending the holidays, since there seemed no point in having everything come to my house and then haul it all cross-country on a plane.
I would also add that it's better to find a school you like, with multiple options for mentors than to go somewhere to work with a particular individual. I've witnessed an unfortunate incident where three students enrolled in a particular Ph.D. program in Physics, intending to work with a specific physicist who then promptly left academia to go into industry.
They've been doing this type of thing the whole time with the barrels to gallons conversion and that's all US. The oil spill rate is estimated at e.g. over 10,000 barrels of oil a day, but gets reported as "over 420,000 gallons a day". As if that second digit were significant. Hell, even the first digit isn't well known.
Actually, straight hydrogen gas (H2) has the smallest ratio of carbon to hydrogen at 0 carbons per 2 hydrogens. But it's not as readily available, harder to store and transport. So the next most efficient option, methane, is a more reasonable choice.
Possibly secondaries? When ejecta is thrown out of a crater, it tends to fall along radial lines forming chains of secondary craters. Then again, it looks like there's some tectonics in the area. The "craters" could be sinkholes atop a rift.
It is difficult to get published in Nature and Science. IIRC, only about 10% of submitted manuscripts are accepted for publication. If the editor doesn't think it's awesome enough, it won't even get sent out for peer review. Even those that are reviewed positively may be rejected if the reviews aren't positive enough. I believe they even have disclaimers that say a rejection from them doesn't necessarily mean there's anything wrong with the work.
A colleague of mine once said he had a paper rejected by Nature, took the manuscript and (positive) reviews over to the editor of some other journal (I think it was Geophysical Journal International) and it was accepted that day (because it had already been reviewed, with no major weaknesses identified). So you can't necessarily assess the validity of research by the journal it's in.
You'd probably just be looking at an image on a computer monitor. Your research grade 'scopes won't even have eyepieces. The photons all go onto a CCD.
Indeed right now all the planets (in our Solar System) are on this side of Saturn. Of course, only two of these can ever be on the far side of it from us. That's right, I'm not counting Pluto as a planet.
There always is though, with sufficiently high numbers of votes. Recounts rarely result in exactly the same number of votes as the original count (even though the outcome isn't often overturned). Election results should come with error bars. I expect we'd see that often there is no clear winner.
But for only 206 people, yeah, the error should be +/-0
Fitting your counters properly is extremely important for the look of your kitchen. Otherwise you get parts of the cabinets exposed and the sink doesn't sit right. Also, bits of food can fall down into the crevices where they're nearly impossible to get out.

Well, I'd like to, but the Universal Citrus Hazardometer has not yet been approved for general use by the EPA.

Two days before the day after tomorrow.

But Rock smashes Scissors! And Scissors cut Paper! Kif, we have a conundrum.
And let's not forget the awesome job of imaging and mapping Itokawa. Hayabusa relayed so many observations, it's almost sickening.
Why can't it be both?

It's a good idea, but possibly not; I'm not being indecisive.
If by "cancel", you mean "increase the budget of", then yes. It's only Constellation that's getting canceled. Science is getting a boost.
It's just a name. Like the "Death Zone" or the "Zone of No Return". All the zones have names like that on the Continent of Terror.

That's in the cost range ($2 billion to $3 billion) of a NASA Flagship class mission for solar system exploration.
A lesser person might have just filled out and mailed the original census form.
Fortunately, it's likely that Jesus was born on a different day.

A technicality that will shortly be remedied.
Makes more sense than the fact that every one of my upper-division physics classes had some random non-major taking it "for the easy A".
And put some parentheses around the fractions. if ( (num_yeas / total_votes) >= (2.0/3.0) ) votepass;

I've gotten an extra fifty cents in change from spending a half-dollar when the cashier thought it was a dollar coin.
