supersonicflow speeds far from the Sun, and vanishingly small pressures at large heliocentric distances. In view of the fluid character of the solutions, Parker called this continuous, supersonic coronal expansion the “solar wind”. The region of space filled by the solar wind is now known as...
These comets are thought to originate in theKuiper Belt, a region of space beyond Neptune's orbit filled with icy bodies. As these bodies collide, some are knocked out of the Kuiper Belt and fall toward the sun. Jupiter, with its massive gravitational pull, grabs some of them and changes ...
Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the region by visiting the Surat Thani City Pillar Shrine. This sacred site is believed to protect the city and its inhabitants, and features intricate architecture and beautiful statues. For a fun-filled day out with the family, head to The ...
of our measurement at the critical phase angle 28∘). They do not allow to appreciate any similarity with comet Hale-Bopp, nor any difference in steepness when compared to the large majority of the other comets of our Solar System, but they suggest the lack of any region of locally ...
A scullery in the old world was, in the case of such houses as ours, a damp, unsavoury, mainly subterranean region behind the dark living-room kitchen, that was rendered more than typically dirty in our case by the fact that into it the coal-cellar, a yawning pit of black uncleanness...
Even if your cell phone is fully charged before a massive power outage, it's possible that it would end up unusable. Many cell towers have generators that only provide a few extra hours of power, and during events like Hurricane Sandy, in 2012, every cell tower in the NYC-region failed...
It was sparked by a find in 2000 by amateur archaeologists who were digging in the area around Lake Chiemsee and found pieces of metal containing minerals not previously seen in the region. Aerial infrared photography established that the distinctive holes in the local countryside had the characteri...
This is the first S+T comet article I've seen that *at last* has stopped assigning the green colour of comets to cyanogen. Even better it correctly notes that the fluorescence is in the deep violet region (right on the UV/violet boundary in fact). For some reason the 'green is ...
We find that pitch angle scattering occurs more slowly than expected with filled shells appearing at 2.5Ã106 km, and that significant energy diffusion does not occur until the bow shock region. Also the shell distributions downstream of the shock flow at the bispherical bulk speed (related...
Every region of the world has now experienced a periodic and profound departure from their traditional weather norms since records have been kept. “Global Climate Change does not accurately describe the planetary predicament; an ongoing worldwide atmospheric apocalypse does … manifesting as localized ...
