Each day, the Moon moves along an orbit that carries it around the Earth. Ittakes about 29.5 days for the Moon to make a complete trip from one New Moon to the next New Moon. Each day the Moon moves about 1/27th of the sky: 360˚/27.5 days = 13.1˚ per day. This is about...
Restricting our discussion to primary consciousness lets us focus on the minimal criteria for consciousness in plants. There is already abundant evidence that consciousness in animals depends on the presence of a brain and nervous system. However, many proponents of plant consciousness have argued that...
On present-day Earth, the loss occurs very slowly, because the mixing ratio of water vapour in the upper atmosphere is very low. But significant loss of water could occur over geological timescales if the surface temperature were around 70 K warmer than it is today2,3,4. For these high...
[10] With the present-day biological flux, the Archean atmosphere would contain around 3 mbar of methane [Kasting and Howard, 2006]. Based on the biological flux and the escape rate of hydrogen, the amount of methane is estimated to be on the order of 1 mbar during the Archean, with ...
The environmental severity of large impacts on Earth is influenced by their impact trajectory. Impact direction and angle to the target plane affect the volume and depth of origin of vaporized target, as well as the trajectories of ejected material. The asteroid impact that formed the 66 Ma Chic...
The project aims to collect 3D scans of all kinds of art and artifacts so that people can potentially print them for study. Their collection is huge and seems to concentrate on classic sculptures — Michelangelo’s David is there, as are the Venus de Milo, the Pieta, and Rodin’s Thinker...
demonstrating insects to small children at a local environmental event at the annual Nunhead Cemetery Open Day, I took great delight in getting my visitors to smell the mating pairs of the small bronze shieldbug Eysarcoris venustissimus, which many of them were bringing to the bug-identification...
The two remained on the Earth for a time ruling the people with justice. This was during the time of Enoch. And at that time there was a woman, who was the most beautiful woman, just as the beauty of Venus is amongst the rest of the stars. The two of them came to her, spoke ...
