Cloud Kordylevskogo
Description
Clusters small cosmic dust in the Lagrange points L4 and L5 of the Earth—the Moon.
Was first observed Polish scientist Kazimierz Kordylewski in October 1956 as a bright region with an angular size about 2° and the brightness, is about 2 times smaller than the brightness of protivostoyaniya.
In March and April 1961 Kordylewski made the first photographs of these clusters, which at that time changed their shape and size.
In 1967 Kordylevskogo observations were confirmed by the American scientist Dzh. Wesley Simpson on the equipment of the Observatory Kuiper. Serious proof of the existence of these clouds are also the results obtained by Dzh. Rochem in 1969-1970 on the spacecraft OSO-6.
