This oblateness results from a rotation period of less than 10 hours, shorter than that of any other planet. Jupiter has a mass more than twice that of all the other planets combined but its average density, only 1.3 times that of water, suggests that it contains a high proportion of the...
Venus is the second planet from the Sun, located between Mercury and Earth. It is the most notable light in the sky, after the Sun and Moon, and has been referred to as Earth’s sister planet. Nearly the same size as Earth, Venus orbits around the Sun in a nearly circular path of ...
Last week an exoplanet designated Gliese 163 was discovered. Not far away in galactic terms, seven times the mass of Earth, orbiting a dying red sun -- has it occurred to anyone that we've found Krypton? Zebra Herd Situation: Flags often came in late and there were debatable calls -- ...
The film opens with a long stretch similar to the far superior 1978 version that shows the end of the planet Krypton. What are the differences? Instead of showing an imaginative ice world filled with overly confident scientists whose own arrogance proves to be the destruction of their planet, ...
atomic number 36, Kr, krypton - a colorless element that is one of the six inert gasses; occurs in trace amounts in air atomic number 10, Ne, neon - a colorless odorless gaseous element that give a red glow in a vacuum tube; one of the six inert gasses; occurs in the air in smal...
Lex Luthor has saved the day and done what Superman couldn't by rescuing the Daily Planet and foiling Brainiac's plans. Now, Superman must answer to the JLA for his dereliction of duty, and it won't be pretty!" Deus Ex#5Official summary: "Adam Jensen closes in on his former ally ...
Siegel said as much inSuperman#1: “Superman came to Earth from the planet Krypton whose inhabitants had evolved, after billions of years, to physical perfection!” In Superman’s newspaper comic strip premiere, Krypton is “a distant planet so far advanced in evolution that it bears a civil...
Measurements were performed with a static cup configuration in wet-plasma mode. Instrumental mass fractionation was corrected for within-run following an exponential law and assuming 86Sr/88Sr = 0.1194. Krypton interferences were corrected for, using a value of 86Kr/84Kr = 0.30354. The baseline ...
Come on. If that’s the way God runs things, he’s worse than them! No, that can’t be, at least if all the talk about God being a loving Father has any truth to it. So, yes, Virginia, God is too good to send people to Hell. ...
(Although this is not completely precise because it has been determined that the outer part of the core has the properties of a viscous liquid.) The “solid” earth includes almost the entire mass of the planet (see Table 1). Outside it are the external geospheres—water (the hydrosphere...
