Wind blows in a permanent pattern across the surface of the Earth from these high to low-pressure zones. These are called prevailing winds or planetary winds. There are three planetary pressure belts, and hence three types of prevailing winds: the easterlies, the westerlies, and the trade ...
It is fascinating to see the transition between the nebulae stages of the star-forming process to a red supergiant or even a new planetary nebula. The lifecycle of a star (NASA and the Night Sky Network). Binary Stars: Double Star A double star is two stars that appear close to one ...
This originates due to the influence of SE trade winds and flows from East to West. Then it gets bifurcated near New Guinea into the Northern and Southern Branch. The first one turns eastward and flows as a counter equatorial current, and the latter moves into the north direction along the...

Within months, an interstellar fleet can be converted from merchant-men to men-of-war. (ed note: Vector One ships travel in one dimension: the altitude from the planetary surface. Vector Two ships travel in two dimensions: the two dimensional plane of the stellar system's ecliptic. Vector ...
Sand dunes are not exclusive to Earth; they can be found on other planetary bodies as well. For example, Titan, Saturn’s moon, has longitudinal dunes, and Mars has large fields of barchan dunes. Circular sand dunes on Mars. Photo:NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona. ...
‘Hidden’ stars including a new type of elderly giant nicknamed an ‘old smoker’ have been spotted for the first time by astronomers. The mystery objects exist at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy and can sit quietly for decades – fading almost to invisibility – before suddenly p...
planetary haze to hide the white lined aggression in our eyes. in a season of collapsed lungs, there's a dark holiday and we are following straight lines to death. 10) Per Sempre Marciamo I want to sing into your eyes, your dilated eyes die criminal die are you the kind of man...
The following discussion on tides will be somewhat basic in its construct. This is because unless you are a mathematician, or a planetary physicist, or you just really, really love differential calculus; the formulas and complete explanations will leave you more befuddled than you might already be...
and almost everything we discover about it only raises more questions. Although we are naturally drawn to the dramatic sights of supernovae, planetary nebulae, andconstellations in the night sky, the greatest mysteries of space are also on the chemical level. Indeed, far beyond our little blue...
