The Cataclysmic Death of Stars
Republished from the pages of National Geographic magazine
Written by Ron Cowen
March 2007
Ever since he was a teenager, Stan Woosley has had a love for chemical elements and a fondness for blowing things up. Growing up in the late 1950s in Texas , "I did everything you could do with potassium nitrate, perchlorate, and permanganate, mixed with a lot of other things," he says . "If you mixed potassium nitrate with sulfur and charcoal , you got gunpowder. If you mixed it with sugar , you got a lot of smoke and a nice pink fire ." He tested his explosive concoctions on a Fort Worth golf course : "I screwed the jar down tight and ran like hell."

Energy - põhjalik referaat energiast

Trucks, airplanes, and railroads can be used to carry people and freight. Barges and pipelines only carry freight. In 2005, 12 there were almost 239 million vehicles (cars, buses, and trucks) in the United States. That's more than three motor vehicles for every four people! Automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, and buses drove nearly 3.0 trillion miles in 2005. That's almost one-twelfth the distance to the nearest star beyond the solar system. It's like driving to the sun and back 13,440 times. Picture 2.11. Energy use for transportation Gasoline is used mainly by cars, motorcycles, and light trucks; diesel is used mainly by heavier trucks, buses, and trains. Together, gasoline and diesel make up 86 percent of all the energy used in transportation. There is currently a push to develop vehicles that run on fuels other than petroleum products, or on blended fuels

Teaduslik revolutsioon

This is so for two reasons. First, medieval man did not see the movement of the heavenly bodies from the standpoint of the mechanics of motion. The heavenly bodies, after all, were composed entirely of aether. Theirs was an organic, living world view rather than our now more familiar mechanical conception. Second, and perhaps of even more importance, medieval man could not understand that the planets or the stars or comets were made of the same stuff as an apple ­ matter. [ aine ] So monumental were his achievements in cosmology, the Scientific Revolution could almost have been called the Copernican Revolution. Born in Poland in 1473, it was the humble astronomer Nicholas Copernicus (14731543) who challenged the geocentrism of Ptolemy with his own heliocentric universe. Ptolemy would never recover neither would the Christian matrix

energies per nucleon of all nuclei. The fusion of two nuclei with lower mass than iron generally releases energy while the fusion of nuclei heavier than iron absorbs energy; vice- versa for the reverse process, nuclear fission. In the simplest case of hydrogen fusion, two protons have to be brought close enough for their mutual electric repulsion to be overcome by the nuclear force and the subsequent release of energy. Nuclear fusion occurs naturally in stars. Artificial fusion in human enterprises has also been achieved, although not yet completely controlled. Building upon the nuclear transmutation experiments of Ernest Rutherford done a few years earlier, fusion of light nuclei (hydrogen isotopes) was first observed by Mark Oliphant in 1932, and the steps of the main cycle of nuclear fusion in stars were subsequently worked out by Hans Bethe throughout the remainder of that decade

Denotative and connotative meanings in motion graphics text

It is associated with trust, hoenesty and loyality. From color pshycology persepctive its reliable, responsible, emits inner security and confidence. Blue is also referred as a sky or even pictured as a Earth atmosphere or a outer space. Therefore, in the video we sense this blue gradiant as a sky or a space. We also could feel that the company might be actually trustworthy. - The white circes on the backround look like stars. Along with the blue gradient of course. These white circes are firstly shaped as circles. And circles, viewing from the far distance, may look like a star. Another thing is their color. When we view the sun for example, or just look at the sky in the night, we see white dots and we know, based on the physics class, that these are the stars. Therefore these white, circled dots are perceived as a stars in this context.

Saturn

Tallinna Tööstushariduskeskus Saturn Referaat Tallinn 2014 Sissejuhatus Saturn is one of the most interesting planets in the solar system. It is the sixth planet in the solar system, and is most famous for its stunning array of rings. It is a very easy planet to pick out in the sky because it is one of the brightest lights in the shy. It also has a very faint greenish color that makes it stand out from the rest of the objects in the sky ("Astronomy for Kids"). Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter being the only planet that is bigger. It also has at least eighteen moons, more than any other planet in the solar system. There have been three voyages to this extraordinary planet, and one is still in process today. The Pioneer II traveled to Saturn in September of 1979, the Voyager missions took place in the 1980's and the Cassini probe began it's voyage in Octo

2-stroke tuners handbook tuners

Two-Stroke TUNER’S HANDBOOK By Gordon Jennings Illustrations by the author Copyright © 1973 by Gordon Jennings Compiled for reprint © 2007 by Ken i PREFACE Many years have passed since Gordon Jennings first published this manual. Its 2007 and although there have been huge technological changes the basics are still the basics. There is a huge interest in vintage snowmobiles and their “simple” two stroke power plants of yesteryear. There is a wealth of knowledge contained in this manual. Let’s journey back to 1973 and read the book that was the two stroke bible of that era. Decades have passed since I hung around with John and Jim. John and I worked for the same corporation and I found a 500 triple Kawasaki for him at a reasonable price. He converted it into a drag bike, modified the engine completely and added mikuni carbs and tuned pipes. John borrowed Jim’s cop
