Our calculations do not take elevation into account; they are based on sea level for each location. If you are not at sea level, this means that theMoon's shadowfalls a little bit closer to the Sun than shown on ourEclipse Map. For example, if the Sun appears in the eastern sky, th...
Additionally, the gears also moved to match the motions of the planets and predicted eclipses! But one thing that is particularly notable is that the mechanism was so precise that it even took into account a particular irregularity in the Moon's orbit—which requires some very complex math to...
Modern computer models can calculate the path of totality for this eclipse with a high degree of accuracy. From this, we can work out the Earth's spin. For instance, if the Earth had been spinning a bit faster at that time, the path of totality would have passed to the west of Babylo...
Although he initially predicted a possible collision in 2126, he examined the historical record and found observations of a comet in a similar track as far back as at least 188 A.D. — allowing him to calculate the comet would pose no harm. "His new calculations show Comet Swift-Tuttle ...
Einstein's General Theory of Relativity predicted that gravity could bend space. This was later confirmed during a solar eclipse when a star's position was measured before, during and after the eclipse. The star's position shifted because the light from the star was bent by the sun's gravity...
"The spotlight will fall very heavily on him,” predicted Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.). “The combination of Gaetz's withdrawal and the latest reports on the Monterey incident, I think, will dramatically increase scrutiny of the SecDef nominee." ...
ofcometsapproaching Earth in 1531, 1607 and 1682. He concluded that these sightings were all of the same comet returning over and over again. Halley predicted the comet would return in 1758. Though he did not live to see the comet's correctly predicted return, it was later named in his ...
Gartner, an IT research firm, has predicted that by 2022, APIs will be the most favored attack vector for hackers looking to breach enterprise Web applications. Educating users on security best practices when consuming an API should be table stakes for all API providers. Okta is another provid...
The disruptive new combinations between technologies and markets are mostly powered by advances in information technology such as artificial intelligence, big data, and so on. However, involvement of IT is not the most essential part of the innovation. Without IT, such disruptive new recombinations ...
