As for the Little Dipper, it is circumpolar â always above the horizon â as far south as the tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north latitude). Stars in the Big Dipper via EarthSky Facebook friend Ken Christison. He captured this photo on September 9, 2013.
dwell time (usually uncountable, plural dwell times) (chiefly engineering) The period of time that a system or element of a system remains in a given state. The drone has a dwell time of about six hours when operating from an in-theater airfield. The part needs a total dwell time in the autoclave of 95 minutes. (military) The duty time soldiers have at their domestic home base between foreign deployments.
Those that have not deployed, but have been wanting to, are going to possibly get your chance sooner than you may think. All thanks to Dwell Time. Dwell Time on the ERB may be to the military what the Draft is to civilians. It is a good thing for those with very short amounts of Dwell time though.
