Projectile Motion: In Aristotle's view, objects moved parallel to the Earth's surface until it was time (i.e. it was their destiny) to fall back to the earth . Aristotle believed that the "natural" state of massive objects was to seek the center of the Earth. When a stone is launched, an impetus is given to it to disturb it from its natural condition. ... Archimedes' catapults lobbed quarter-ton stones at the attacking Roman ships, quickly destroying the clumsy Roman siege engine. ...

... Email: chaos@mail.cplire.ru . ... We investigate phenomena on the edge of spatially homogeneous chaotic mode and spatiotemporal chaos in a lattice of chaotic 1-D maps with local connections. We show that spatially homogeneous chaotic mode cannot exist in a lattice with local connections if the Lyapunov exponent of the isolated chaotic map is greater than some critical positive value. We propose a few schemes that make spatial synchronization possible in large lattices. ...

Sky watchers will witness a total lunar eclipse in the early hours of Thursday 21st February, subject to weather conditions. For a total lunar eclipse to occur, the Moon in its orbit around the Earth must pass fully into the cone-shaped shadow of the Earth in space. ... The Moon does not usually go completely dark because the Earth's atmosphere refracts direct sunlight around the edge of the shadow on to the Moon's surface. This causes the Moon to turn a dark, blood-red or copper colour. ...
