... Search . ... ITHACA, N.Y. -- Once considered just your average single asteroid, 2001 SN263 has now been revealed as the first near-Earth triple asteroid ever found. read more .. Neutron stars and black holes aren't all they've been thought to be. In fact, neutron stars can be considerably more massive than previously believed, and it is more difficult to form black holes, according to new research developed by using the Arecibo Observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. read more .. ...

... part 1 | ... The Basic Stages in Earth's Pre-geological Development . ... After fragments of the Vortex sleeves separated, whirlwinds of second and third orders ("NC" - new micro-vortex) were generated- future planet cores and their satellites - all of them developing independently, governed by the common laws of development of cosmogenic vortexes. ... Our planet's core today is comprised of considerably deteriorated cosmogenic vortex; consequently, the Earth has a moderated magnetic field. ...

... The measured bolometric flux and corrected NPOI angular diameter yield an effective temperature of 8600+/-500 K. Least-squares comparisons of synthetic spectral energy distributions from 1220 Г: to 3.6 cm with the observations provide estimates for the effective temperature and the mass-loss rate of ~=8400+/-100 K and (8+/-3)Г-10-7 Msolar yr-1, respectively. ...

The trapping of particles by magnetic fields was first studied by Kristian Birkeland in Norway, starting around 1895. ... Poincare managed to solve the motion of charged particles near an isolated magnetic pole, showing that they spiraled around field lines and that they were repelled from regions of strong field. ... A more realistic problem, of more interest to Birkeland, was particle motion near a compact bar magnet or "dipole", which better approximated the field of the Earth or of his terrella. ...

The rising tides. In 1777 Laplas made a report in the Paris academy about the rising tides and the falling tides. Their first model was considered by Newton and Kepler so that the rising tides and the falling tides were caused by the Moon and the Sun. This theory was developed by I. Bernully, Ailer and d'Alamber. Their scheme about the rising tides following on two directions (one to the Moon and the other to the Sun) was suited the non deep ocean in the stable planet. ...

Educator's Guide to Micrometeorites . ... They are actually small bits of rock and metal that collide with Earth's upper atmosphere and, because of friction, burn up. On rare occasions, man-made satellites and spacecraft parts fall into the atmosphere and burn up the same way. ... That is what is happening to the particles in the upper atmosphere. ... Most meteorites fall into Earth's oceans. ... There is an easy way to collect meteorites, but we must be satisfied with finding small metal ones. ...
