Leech Lake Summer Solstice – A New Season Begins
Summer is here again in Leech Lake. June 21st, 2018 is Summer Solstice. This is the official first day of Summer and the longest day of the year. Here are a few fun facts about Summer Solstice:
The further north you are, the more sunlight you’ll see during the solstice. Leech Lake is definitely “Up North” and a great place to soak in the extra rays of sunshine. Our beautiful resorts offer limitless opportunities to watch the sunset over the lake.
The name “solstice” comes from the fact that the sun appears to stand still. While the sun will appear to stand still, the sun’s relative position in the sky at noon does not appear to change much during the solstice and its surrounding days.
Many in the Leech Lake area will be dancing the night away. Summer Solstice 2018 falls on the first day of Moondance Jam in Leech Lake. Moondance Jam is an annual rock and classic rock festival held in mid-July in the Leech Lake Area near Walker, Minnesota. It is recognized as Minnesota’s largest rock festival and the premier classic rock festival in the United States. The Jam has gone from being a party for a few hundred family and friends back in 1992, to a rock ‘n’ roll and camping celebration that entertains tens of thousands today. This is mainly due to the fact that it has maintained a clean, safe, and friendly atmosphere, along with open festival seating for general admission ticket holders.
The world’s biggest bonfire was part of a solstice celebration. In 2010, a world record for the tallest bonfire was set in celebration of Summer Solstice! The people of Alesund, Norway created a 132.71 ft. celebratory bonfire!
Although we would discourage visitors to attempt a world record-breaking bonfire, we hope to see more than a few campfires.
Hot weather follows the sun by a few weeks. If solstice is the longest day of the year and gets the most sunlight, doesn’t the weather heat up for a few more weeks? It’s because water, which makes up most of the Earth’s surface, has a high specific heat, meaning it takes a while to both heat up and cool down. Because of this, the Earth’s temperature takes about six weeks to catch up to the sun.
Lucky for Leech Lake our extended forecast for June/July predicts highs in the mid 70’s to low 80’s for the next few weeks!
The Earth is actually at its farthest from the sun during the solstice. Many people think that Solstice is when the earth is closest to the sun in actuality the earth is closest to the sun during Winter in the northern hemisphere.
Winter is also a beautiful time for visitors to head to Leech Lake but let’s not talk about Winter quite yet.
Thousands of people gather at Stonehenge to celebrate. Last year, 37,000 people attended. Many have long believed that Stonehenge was the site of ancient druid solstice celebrations because of the way the sun lines up with the stones on the winter and summer solstices. Despite no proven connection between Celtic solstice celebrations and Stonehenge, these days, thousands of modern pagans gather at the landmark to watch the sunrise on the solstice.
While most of us won’t head to Stonehenge, there are plenty of ways to celebrate in Leech Lake. Choose from one of our amazing lodging options – view the sunset from the lake, the beach or the dock. Maybe head to Moondance Jam in Walker, MN. However, you decide to celebrate we hope you decide to stay with us at Leech Lake!


Research articles on the clock offer loose context for what the device is and what is does, but virtually none tackle the outstanding hard questions - who made it and where did its inherent astronomical and mechanical knowledge come from? A few years ago, John Gleave, an orrery maker based in the United Kingdom, decided to construct a working replica of the original mechanism. In 2013, Hublot presented the «Antikythera SunMoon» watch, a unique edition of 20 pieces featuring a simplified and miniaturised version of the original mechanism, in honour of this masterpiece of Antiquity.The result is a movement containing 295 components and 7 complications.

A number of gears worked together, much like they do in a mechanical clock.The device could predict astronomical positions, eclipses, the motions of the sun, the moon and probably some of the planets. A Classical Wonder: The Antikythera MechanismDivers exploring a Roman shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901 found the remains of a baffling device. The Antikythera Mechanism on display in Athens (via Flickr/Stefan Geens) There were also some truly spectacular finds. The mechanism appears to have been housed in a 20-centimeter-tall rectangular box with dials on the front and back, and a small rotating handle on the side. The Antikythera Mechanismâs Mechanics. It has puzzled and intrigued historians of science and technology since its discovery. NARRATOR: Michael Wright makes things, from musical instruments to a working model of the Antikythera Mechanism. seems likely that the Antikythera Mechanism also displayed some or even all of the ï¬ve planets known in ancient times, but there is considerable debate about thisâ.5 Michael Wright had made a similar proposal and, in a mechanical tour de force, built a working model of the Antikythera mechanism that included pointers for the Virtual model of the (still) mysterious Antikythera Mechanism by Mogi Vicentini based on the theoretical and mechanical model by Michael Wright. Since its discovery in a shipwreck near Greece in 1900, an ancient metallic astronomical clock, called the âAntikythera Mechanismâ still baffles scientists. It was considered to be the first mechanism with gears in human history. The Antikythera mechanism is one of the world's oldest known geared devices. The front of the Antikythera Mechanism shows seven hands (sun, moon, five planets) and a double ring scale (outside: Egyptian calendar, inside: zodiac). [00:41.99] It was in extremely poor condition and in many corroded piecesâ [00:46.90] but once we figured out what it was and reconstructed it, [00:50.82] well, I simply don't have the words to convey how extraordinary this find was. ... Then came the Antikythera mechanism, which is commonly known as the first example of such analogue computers. The parts of the mechanism that have survived are seven large fragments and 75 small pieces, although itâs not entirely clear whether all of these small pieces belong to the mechanism. The Antikythera mechanism on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. How Did the Antikythera Mechanism Work? The Antikythera Mechanism was a marvelous ancient mechanism with more than 37 gears, 17 axis, and 8 pointers. The mechanism was a compilation of more than 30 working gears made from bronze.

The Antikythera mechanism is one of the most mysterious objects in the history of civilisation. The Antikythera mechanism was similar in size to a mantel clock, and bits of wood found on the fragments suggest it was housed in a wooden case. The Antikythera Mechanism Research Project, with experts from Britain, Greece and the United States, detected in July 2008 the word "Olympia" on a bronze dial thought to display the 76 year Callippic cycle, as well as the names of other games in ancient Greece, and probably used to track dates of â¦ Antikythera: A 2,000-year-old Greek computer comes back to life Watch a working model of the ancient clockwork device that some call the world's first computer James Randerson While the Antikythera Mechanism is associated with antiquity, it is far from lacking sophistication.

On this date in 1902, Greek archaeologist Valerios Stais found a corroded chunk of metal which turned out to be part of the world's first computer and became known as the Antikythera Mechanism. The Antikythera Mechanism doesn't work, it can't work, engineers are unanimous in concluding that it's simply impossible to make it work given the physical evidence (the actual gears) and yet there's dozens of working "Reproductions" and countless claims regarding it endless He realised that an X-ray source powerful enough to inspect the Mechanism would have many other, revenue generating, applications. The device is over 2,000 years old. The front face has one large dial.

Appearance and Operation. [00:33.29] The Antikythera Mechanism was found a hundred years ago, underwater in an ancient Greek shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea. It did all that with the work of more than 30 sophisticated gears. The Antikythera Mechanism was found by divers in 1901, and many died while performing the search. The Antikythera mechanism and the astrolabes are considered to be the first analogue calculators (courtesy of National Archaeological Museum, Athens/Costas Xenikakis). Mysterious Antikythera Mechanism Is Even Older Than We Thought This ancient astronomical calculator is now dated to 205 B.C. Mechanism and was convinced that we had to inspect it.

The Face of the Mechanism. A 2,000-year-old computer called the Antikythera Mechanism helped the ancient Greeks understand their universe. We did add a push-button switch that needs to be held down for the mechanism to operate; its lifespan might be shortened if someone left it running all night.

This is the summary of various theories of philosophers and astrophysicists that have been researched over the past hundred years. The present day thinkers, however, concur that current knowledge is not sufficient enough to adequately describe the origin of the universe, and as such, relying on an event that is termed as The Big Bang, which occurred billions of years ago, to have also triggered life on earth is like a shot in the dark. Because here we are talking about a living being having a brain which has the capability and capacity to access, acquire, gain, store and extrapolate knowledge and has a soul which seeks to use that knowledge to explore not only the origin of the universe but its own self too. Moreover, this living being came into existence at least ten billion years after the Big Bang occurred, so where does lie the connection between two of the most important events in the history of the universe? Without a reasonably acceptable explanation of the link between the Big Bang and origin of life, no half-baked theory, which heavily banks upon future research for endorsement, should honestly be considered for scientific ratification.


SpaceX says it will send someone around the Moon on its future monster rocketSeptember 14, 2018
SpaceX has reportedly signed its first customer to fly on the company’s huge new rocket, the BFR. The passenger will fly on the monster ship around the Moon, though there are no details yet regarding when the trip will happen. SpaceX says it will announce who is flying — and why — on Monday, September 17th.
The BFR, or the Big Falcon Rocket, is the giant rocket that SpaceX is currently developing to send humans to the Moon and Mars. According to a presentation by CEO Elon Musk last year, the BFR design consists of a combined rocket and spaceship, or the BFS for Big Falcon Ship. The main rocket will supposedly have 31 main Raptor engines and be capable of sending up 150 tons to low Earth orbit.

I have been interested in photography for years but I have only been using a point-and-shoot and an iPhone. I have been wanting a DSLR camera for the last few years but it didn't land on the priority list until I graduated from college this spring. Just recently we decided we really want a new camera before our wedding and before our honeymoon to Europe. On Black Friday we order the Canon Rebel SL1 from Amazon and yesterday it was delivered! I am already amazed by what a difference using a "real camera" makes and pretty much want to go back to every single place I have visited and take new pictures with out new camera.
Last night we decided to try out photographing the moon, something that is nearly impossible with a point-and-shoot or an iPhone. In order to compare the two, we also took a picture of the moon on my iPhone.
Here is the iPhone moon picture:
Here is the Canon Rebel SL1 moon picture:

A CME is a massive cloud burst of electromagnetic radiation consiting of charged particles such as electrons and protons, along with other elements from the sun's surface. The Earth's magnetic field shields us from these charged particles, but some of them get trapped by the magnetic field, and are then drawn in towards the Earth's poles along magnetic field lines.
As the charged particles from the sun collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, mainly oxygen and nitrogen, the interaction between them produces brilliant colors of light. More information on viewing can be found here, as well as updates on the progess of the CME moving towards the Earth. Clouds will be more abundant Thursday night into Friday morning, so we'll have a higher chance of seeing the northern lights tonight with less cloud cover.

The Lunar New Year begins the year according to the lunar calendar. Unlike the Gregorian calendar generally used in Western countries, the lunar calendar is determined by the cycles and phases of the moon. The Lunar New Year is best known as the Chinese New Year, although this calendar is observed by other cultures as well.
A purely lunar calendar is determined exclusively by the phases and cycles of the moon. Each new year begins on the day of the first new moon of the year, which occurs in late January or early February of the standard Gregorian calendar. Since a lunar calendar follows moon cycles rather than a series of fixed months, dates are movable depending on the actual day the lunar cycle begins. The lunar calendar always consists of 12 lunar months and varies by 11 or 12 days each year.
Most lunar calendars are actually lunisolar calendars, which keep months according to lunar cycles but also add intercalary, or additional, months to eliminate the "drift" of true lunar calendars and synchronize the calendar with the solar year. A solar year has about 12 lunations, or lunar cycles, although some years may have 13. The Lunar New Year as observed by the Chinese and most other cultures is based on a lunisolar calendar.
Observing Lunar New Year
Although the Chinese New Year is synonymous with Lunar New Year, other cultures mark the beginning of the year at this time as well. Vietnamese, Korean and other Asian cultures traditionally follow the lunisolar calendar and the Hebrew and Hindu traditional calendars are also based on moon cycles. Of these, the Islamic version is the only purely lunar calendar, having exactly 12 lunar months.
Celebrating Lunar New Year Around the World
The most familiar of Lunar New Year celebrations, Chinese New Year festivities begin at the new moon marking the first day of the new year and end at the full moon, 15 days later. Solnal, the Korean New Year, and Tet, the Vietnamese New Year, are also celebrated at this time, in late January or early February. Other cultures following a lunar or lunisolar calendar celebrate the New Year at different times. For example, the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, occurs in September, and Songkran, theThai New Year, occurs in April.

However, the first certain observations of Jupiter's satellites were those of Galileo Galilei in 1609. By January 1610, he had sighted the four massive Galilean moons with his 20× magnification.


As Catharine Fay watched a rocket soaring into space from her uncle’s backyard near the Kennedy Space Centre as a child, she never envisioned that one day she would have the opportunity to make materials for aircraft and spacecraft for NASA or be part of the space exploration program. The most exciting part of her job is designing new materials, breaking them, exposing them to extreme environments, and then determining their best applications. Inspiring others in science and research makes the job even better.
In this talk, she will let us in on the boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) development team at NASA.
Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) is a material that might let us make new types of space travel possible. Or how about purifying water in remote places? Maybe it can even destroy cancer cells – how cool would that be? Hear Dr Fay explain it all in this talk about this amazing new material.

Constraining cosmic string abundance with CMB distortion data
students: Madeleine Anthonisen (M.S. '15), Alex Laguë (B.S. '17), Daixi Xia (B.S. '17)
Cosmic strings are topological defects – field configurations in which stress-energy is concentrated in a string-like structure – predicted by many models of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. Cosmic strings can form cusps, much like a kink in a garden hose; these cusps decay by emitting Standard Model particles, particularly photons. If cosmic strings are present in the early universe, the photons they emit through cusp annihilation are out of equilibrium with the photon background and unable to thermalize prior to reionization; as a result, they impart on the cosmic microwave background potentially observable deviations from a black body spectrum. Using simple scaling laws and back-of-the-envelope bounds, we were able to show that the planned PIXIE experiment could rule out cosmic strings with values for the characteristic string tension spanning 3 orders of magnitude. Because the string tension is directly related to the energy scale of the underlying particle physics model, our findings indicate that future experiments would rule out a class of such models.
Higher-spin symmetries in the early universe
student: Renato Costa (Ph.D. '16)
Quantum field theories are difficult to solve. While this statement is true in almost any setting, QFTs are particularly challenging on curved spacetimes such as those which describe the early universe. A QFT becomes more tractable when it contains heightened symmetries -- i.e. symmetries not realized in nature -- whose presence provides additional handles with which to grasp the theory. A classic example of heightened symmetry is higher-spin symmetry. Typically, these symmetries are so constraining that their presence ensures that at least some aspects of the theory may be computed exactly.
In this project we considered the consequences of higher-spin symmetry in QFTs in a de Sitter spacetime. De Sitter space is our simplest (i.e., most symmetric!) model of an inflating universe. We found that, when certain technical conditions are met, the presence of higher-spin symmetries forces the QFT to be essentially "free" (non-interacting) at late times. Such theories yield trivial cosmological spectra. This result may be viewed as an analogue for inflationary cosmology of the celebrated Coleman-Mandula theorem. Cases where our technical conditions are not met open the door to integrable models of interacting QFTs on curved spacetime, particularly for low-dimensional theories.
Exploring big-bounce cosmologies with AdS/CFT
student: Elisa Ferreira (Ph.D. '17)
In a cosmological "big bounce" the universe undergoes an epoch of contraction followed by an epoch of expansion, with a highly quantum interlude at the nadir. Big bounce cosmology could potentially describe the initial conditions generating inflation in our early universe, or even an alternative to the inflation hypothesis. Unfortunately, due to the highly quantum bounce regime, big bounces are notoriously difficult to describe quantitatively.
In this project we analyzed simple bouncing cosmologies within the framework of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Through the AdS/CFT dictionary, certain quantitative details of the bounce region -- which contains strong spacetime curvature and highly quantum-mechanical fields -- may be tackled through its dual description in the gauge theory. Our investigation, while exploratory, reveals the strengths and limits of gauge/gravity duality as a tool to explore the spacelike singularities present in classical bounce geometries.


GAIA is a virtual observatory providing quick access to summary data from satellite and ground-based instruments that remote sense auroral precipitation. Data from riometers, All-Sky Imagers (ASIs), Meridian Scanning Photometers (MSPs), and satellite-based global imagers are included in GAIA. GAIA is the virtual observatory for Gloria
and the Auroral Optical Network
, both of which are elements of the IPY
intiative. GAIA is an international effort being carried out by groups in (at present) Canada, Finland, Sweden, the UK, the US, and Japan. GAIA involves a user interface that will support browsing of summary data, retrieval of summary and full-resolution data, and some synoptic analysis of those data. GAIA has at its core a relational data base, and various scripts that interact with the user interface, the data base, and data providers. To facilitate reliability, GAIA will develop at least two and likely three mirrort sites (one in Fimland, one in the UK, and possibly one in Asia). In the future, the GAIA Legacy Project will undertake to recover and make accessible older data sets from instruments on (for example) ISIS-II, Freja, Viking, as well as various ground-based programs.

UND Faculty Members Awarded for Prestigious Technology Award
Three University of North Dakota faculty members have received a prestigious technology award for their efforts in science education. Tim Young, Physics and Astrophysics, Cindy Grabe and Mark Guy, Education and Human Development were awarded for their work with the Grand Forks Public Schools for teaching astronomy and physics to in-service and pre-service teachers using the Geodome digital planetarium and iPads.
"This technology was a new experience for teachers," said Tim Young. "Teachers could actually instruct in an environment that is totally immersive. We used the planetarium several times to teach classes about the dynamic universe, something that is hard to do in a text book. The planetarium was interactive and lessons were planned around a teacher's curriculum." One amazing feature is that the planetarium can be controlled by the students using a PlayStation game controller.
This project, called SITE or Simulation Immersion in Teacher Education project, was funded by the State of North Dakota during 2009 – 2011. The award was presented at the ASTE (Association of Science Teacher Education) reception on Saturday, January 7. Awardees will present this outstanding concept at a larger conference called SITTE (Society for Informational Technology and Teacher Education) meeting in Austin, TX on March 8, 2012.

Tel Aviv (dpa) – Israel’s Beresheet space probe successfully carried
out another manoeuvrer around the moon as it prepares to descend to
the surface later this week.
The manoeuvrer, which lasted 36 seconds and burned 6 kilograms of
fuel, lowered the orbit of the Beresheet to an altitude range of 211
to 467 kilometres, the mission team said on Monday.
The washing-machine sized spacecraft is set to land on the moon on
Thursday; if it succeeds it will be the first lunar mission by a
non-governmental organization to Earth’s closest neighbour.
The Beresheet, which means Genesis in Hebrew, also would be the
smallest spacecraft ever to reach the moon. Israel would become the
fourth country after the United States, the Soviet Union and China to
make a soft landing on the moon.
The probe, weighing just under 600 kilograms and measuring 1.5 metres
in height, is to place an Israeli flag on the moon and examine its
Its launch in February was the fruit of an eight-year-long project
undertaken by the SpaceIL non-profit organization and Israel
Aerospace Industries (IAI).
Though the IAI is a governmental organization, the funds for the
mission were largely raised independently.


It is really a thrilling time to turn to be a novice astronomer. People who are interested in stargazings have a lot of choices nowadays, regarding the telescope that they can buy. There are a lot of telescopes and equipment that can be purchased, which can sometimes be a problem on its own. If there are a lot of choices when it comes to telescope purchases, then getting one is becoming progressively harder for newcomers to the scene. Normally, this gives the stress of preference: the overwhelming selection can make it difficult for an ignorant customer to help make the correct judgment on what kind of telescope to purchase.
Whether or not you are significantly thinking about purchasing your very first telescope or simply fantasizing regarding it, this guide can help you slim your choices.
- The things you must consider
You should consider the kinds of telescopes accessible in the market, and what their crucial features are. Major features include the dimensions of the main lens or mirror, the mount, ease of mobility, modernization, and add-ons. You must also know the advantages and disadvantages of a telescope prior to buying one.
- Questions to answer before buying a new telescope
Before you purchase anything at all, you should figure out what’s necessary for you. What exactly do you plan on looking in when you have a telescope? Just how dim is your location where you will look from? What kind of experience do you have in terms of watching the stars? What is your spending budget? What space for storage have you got, and what amount of weight would you like to bring? Respond to these crucial queries, become acquainted with exactly what is available on the market, and you will be well on your way to selecting a telescope with the best telescope eyepieces that will fulfill your needs for quite some time.
- Take care of two crucial telescope features
Be sure to buy a great mount for the telescope that you want to buy. Altazimuth mounts are great choices because they can be shifted down and up as well as sideways, and generally needs you to create manual modifications when you are viewing a moving subject within the sky. Another option is an equatorial mount, which uses a single axis lined up parallel to the rotation of the Earth. In case you reside in the Northern Hemisphere, you must set up an equatorial by aiming at the Polaris North Star.
Advanced consumers may want digital telescopes, which features automatic moving in the proper path to trace things above. Computerized telescopes can do that as soon as the telescope is lined up. Generally, you have to enter the date, time and area of your stargazing session prior to using a computerized microscope. A few systems need you to undergo calibration first before using it. This is the best for advanced hobbyist and people who do not mind spending a lot of money.

Lego Space - Set 497 Galaxy Explorer
Image by InSapphoWeTrust
Set 497, Galaxy Explorer, released in 1979, was the flagship of the original Lego Space universe, portraying a large passenger/cargo spaceship with its landing pad on the lunar surface. At 338 pieces and four astronaut minifigures (two red, two white), sprawling over two 25cmx25cm baseplates, this is a spectacular set, with a list price ( in 1979 dollars) to match.
Set 497 was the US-market designation; in Europe, the same set was sold as Set 928, Space Cruiser and Moonbase, and the European set number 928 is imprinted on the sides of the spaceship. It is interesting to note that in the US market, the "Space Cruiser" designation was instead used on Set 487, which was a smaller, simpler, cheaper version of Galaxy Explorer.
Finding a complete Galaxy Explorer is considered the holy grail of vintage Lego Space collecting, and I was able to score one on eBay in March 2013. While the set is complete and the price fair, many pieces do have signs of yellowing from excessive sun exposure, one 6x6 light gray tile has an edge that has cracked off, and one 1x3 black tile was replaced by three 1x1 black tiles. The incorrect and damaged parts can easily be replaced, however, since they are common standard Lego parts.
The completed set. Despite the signs of age, still an awesome sight to behold. The ship has enough space for two (or even three) astronauts plus the moon buggy, making it a perfect vehicle for an exploration trip to the asteroids or a distant planet, or for a vacation run back to Earth.

A constant, unintentionally horrible sales pitch from these young Hmong girls. We winced every time we heard it. :)
I should add that as bad as this looks, all the kids were apparently on summer vacation during our visit, so they could sell little bits of embroidery to help their families. Is it really ethical or good to see? No, but the kids didn't seem to take it all too seriously -- if you said "No", they'd happily bugger off and play.

Ordinary Folks Traveling to Outer Space
Throughout the history of man, it has always been in our blood to travel, take long voyages, and explore new territories of land on Earth. Just about every man, woman, and child living on this planet today, has that curiosity inside of them and we always want to see what is on the other side. Now that we have made it to the 21st century without destroying our race with disease, nuclear weapons, or other things that could put us back into the caveman days. We have just about went to all of the corners of the Earth and there is only a few remote pieces of land we haven’t stepped foot on and the bottoms of our oceans are still a bit of a mystery, but we have conquered Mother Earth for the most part. The only other direction we have left is up and space will be man’s next and biggest challenge ever, when it comes to feeding this curiosity we have about the moons, stars, and other planets; which do exist in our solar system.
Yes, the next big Lewis & Clark adventure will take place in outer space and we already have a lot of good technology in place, that is making space travel possible in the first part of our new millennium. While the space program was invented in the 20th century and very much operational then too, it’s really not that big of a story; when it comes to our abilities to travel away from the Earth in the 21st century. However, only highly trained astronauts and space people were getting the chance to leave the planet and go where very few other men and women have gone before. If you wanted to travel to space in the 20th century, you would have had to complete a high level of education courses and training for the chance to go. The overall numbers are still relatively low for those who have traveled to space compared to the 8+ billion people on our planet who hasn’t been beyond Earth’s gravitational field yet.
Other than a few other high-tech countries, the main launching pad for space travel has always been reserved for the men and women working with NASA. If you ever wanted to go or had dreams about traveling to outer space, you were going to have to get NASA’s permission; not to mention the use of their technology and space shuttles to get you there.
Today the study and technological advancements for outer space and space travel come from a variety of really smart people, private companies, the military for various countries, and the wealthy citizens of the World. All of these modern sources are contributing things and ideas to the astrological equations; which could make traveling to space a real possibility for more than just NASA employees and astronauts.
I find it interesting at the number of wealthy men living in our country and in other parts of the world and how a lot of these filthy rich men want to make the trip into space one day. The 21st century is going to create multiple space vehicles, for multiple paths into the open space that is beyond Earth’s furthest atmosphere from her ground. Some of these billionaires will still be young enough to make the trip and most of them will get a chance to conquer one of the last thing’s in their life, they haven’t conquered yet, because you figured most challenges they have over came to be so rich now.
I haven’t made up my mind yet, if given the opportunity by NASA or a private space travelling company, if I would choose to go. I can tell you one thing for certain. If I had a few million dollars in the bank; then there is no way in the World I would think about travelling to outer space. Why risk it? I know for the rich people out there, they have always had everything they needed or wanted in life (for the most part). I don’t have dreams about taking trips to space, but I do have plenty of dreams and desires of being rich enough, so money wasn’t an issue in my life. I know they say the more money you have, the more problems that come with it. Well I have lived the life of a poor man for almost 4 decades now and the problems I have had to face in life hasn’t been a bowl of cherries. I would like to be given the opportunity to face those rich man’s problems and the ones that come with having a lot of money. I can’t even for one second see how any of those problems would even come close to the everyday problems and real life struggles I have today. So my dream is a simple one. I could make a million dollars last for the rest of my life. I actually figured it out to a smaller number and came up with 680,000 dollars. If I was given or won 680,000 dollars; then I would be able to do enough online work to put with my monthly interest I would earn on that sum of money and could sail through life a million times better than now! Guaranteed!
Now getting back to the trips to outer space. How much would you be willing to spend or what lengths would you go through, just to have the chance to make a trip to space one time? Instead of charging a price for a ticket to space, it looks like the private companies are posing these questions to the men and women, who really want to fly into space one day. The trips to space for common people is going to be a bidding war or work much like an auction does. The ones who have the biggest bank accounts, will be the ones getting those first seats into the dark and never-ending reaches of outer space. I don’t really have a problem with that. Obviously there is going to be a lot more people wanting to go; than these spaceships have the seating capacity for. So something would have been needed to make it a fair chance for all. Money does not equal power, so letting the ones willing to pay the most, is a fair way to choose passengers for space and using money would be in the best interest of these private flights to space companies.
I do look forward to seeing average people making these trips to space. I know most of us should see at least one person we know, go to space in our lifetimes. It’s going to be that common, where a conversation will take place at the water cooler and each employee will have known a neighbor, a relative, a former employee, a friend, or someone who has signed up and taken one of these private trips, toward the stars of the pitch dark sky, which we simply know as outer space. As far as we know, this is truly man’s last frontier…

Google Maps has officially gone extra-terrestrial. Not only can you hunt for places to eat in Colombo: now you can also browse, zoom and explore the barren craters of the Moon and check out Olympus Mons on the Red Planet.
Reaching this is simple: go to maps.google.com, zoom all the way out and hit the tiny “Explore” button on the lower-right-hand corner. A small selection of planetary bodies will appear at the bottom. For now, it’s just got the Moon and Mars, but it looks like the devs have left space for others. Select the Moon or Mars and start zooming in.
Don’t expect to skim over every crater and go “wow” at the detail – none of these bodies have been fully mapped out yet, and imagery is still very sketchy in areas. You’ll find yourself running into alternating pockets of low-res and high-resolution photos – especially on Mars. Nevertheless, it’s a boon to stargazers. The beauty of this is that you don’t need anything special to access all of this – as long as you’ve got internet access and a decent browser, you’re good to go.

The earth is closer to the sun in the winter than the summer
Most people are surprised to learn that in the summer the Earth is much farther from the Sun than in the winter. Earth's orbit around the Sun in not perfectly circular, it forms a slight ellipse. Perihelion, the Earth's closest approach to the Sun, occurs on January 3. Aphelion, the point at which the Earth is farthest from the Sun, occurs on July 4, often one of the hottest days of the year. In fact, in January the Earth is about 3,125,000 million miles closer to the Sun than in summer.
So why is summer hot? Shouldn't we have icicles hanging from our noses because we're so far away from the Sun?
On some planets, you would. But Earth's equator is tilted from the ecliptic (the imaginary plane in which all the planets' orbits rotate). This makes all the difference. Outside the tropics and the polar regions, what we call "seasons" is the result of a temperature oscillation between an (average) single maximum and a single minimum. This oscillation results from the annual variation in the angle at which the Sun's rays reach the Earth's surface and from the annual variation in the duration of sunlight on the Earth surface each day. As the Earth moves in its orbit, its axis maintains a nearly constant orientation in space, inclined about 66°33' to the orbital plane. During the six-month half of each orbit when the North Pole is inclined towards the Sun, a point in the Northern Hemisphere receives the Sun's rays at a angle closer to 90° than does a point in the Southern Hemisphere; this causes greater heating and more hours of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern Hemisphere. During the other six months, the conditions are reversed. There are other factors that influence the average temperature locally, such as the reflectivity (albedo) of different parts of the earth, the greenhouse effect of types of cloud cover, etc, but these factors are de minimus relative to the angle of incidence of the Sun's rays and the duration of that incidence.

The luxury desert resort will offer protective eye-wear, astronomy-themed treats and specialty cocktails for guests viewing the Solar Eclipse.
RANCHO MIRAGE, CA. – August 1, 2017 - On Monday, August 21st, guests of The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage will be offered the chance to experience the highly-anticipated Solar Eclipse as it passes over the Palm Springs Valley.
Guests will be invited to take an experiential journey with the resort beginning on Sunday the 20th - the eve of the Solar Eclipse. Once guests retire to their rooms for the evening, they will be delighted to discover an enticing cosmic treat along with an invitation to the Solar Eclipse Viewing Party taking place the following morning.
For breakfast, State Fare Bar & Kitchen will welcome guests with a menu crafted from authentic California ingredients. Complimentary celestial-themed treats will be available starting at 10am, in addition to a dedicated channel to watch the event indoors. For guests heading outside, protective glasses specifically designed for watching the Solar Eclipse will be provided as even the darkest personal sunglasses are not safe enough to view the sun during the eclipse.
During the approximately 90-minute cosmic exhibition and continuing throughout the day, State Fare Bar will showcase handcrafted specialty cocktails in the theme of ‘all things celestial.’ Purple Lotus Moon, for example, is a fun twist on the classic vodka martini. Served fittingly with spherical ice, the lavender hue of the Crème de Violette is paired beautifully with a refreshing, bright garnish of orange peel.
Additionally, a dedicated Recreation and Astronomy Specialist will be present for the guests to engage and ask questions throughout the experience.


Dating on earth sub
Described as a “hot super Earth with a rocky surface,” Gliese 411b is located in the fourth-nearest star system to the Sun, making it the third-nearest planetary system to the Sun, according to the U.
K.’s University of Hertfordshire, which participated in the research.
Two short-lived phases of incision during the first half of the XIX century were probably caused by a decrease of sediment supply due to a decline in the frequency of heavy precipitation events.A common question concerning the creation-evolution controversy is “What about carbon-14 dating?” This radiometric dating method appears often in the mass media news, probably because it is usually applied to fossil materials, particularly to those connected with ancient human remains.Cumulatively, they are primarily grouped into biological (living things) and physical (non-living things).These four “wonders” of the earth are dependent upon each other and have been used to make the study of biological and physical components of the earth easily comprehendible.
Just how reliable, then, is this radiometric method for estimating the ages of fossils? High-energy cosmic rays (actually sub-atomic particles) from space continually crash into atoms in the earth’s upper atmosphere.

In history, the Middle East has been a place of innovation for a thousand years, and in this modern world, they are taking that innovation to a whole new level with the concept and plan to colonize a city on Mars. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) plans to launch the space mission that by 2117 will have firmly planted a city upon Mars.
This potential colonization of Mars could possibly be the biggest undertaking of our century, as Mars currently has an uninhabitable atmosphere and little life-sustaining potential, but there are few problems that money seem to be unable to fix. Spending 5.4 billion dollars into space technology developments (https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-a-e-plans-to-launch-mars-probe-1430935661), the UAE plans to soon be “a world-class national space sector.” In doing so UAE has shown that they will be joining the world’s superpowers which include the United States, China, Russia, and various European countries, in aerospace technology.
UAE’s space agency is made up mostly of the countries younger generation. The average age of the Emiratis being 27. In a group of just 100 scientists, this young age could be a potential driving force in promoting science for UAE’s new generation of youth. This project ultimately calls for an international collaboration.
The UAE Mars Mission (http://www.uaeusaunited.com/story/emirates-mission-mars/) has begun to collaborate with other international scientists whose aims mirror their own. Critics are skeptical, as one could have a hard time believing in how likely it truly is that the UAE will have colonized a new planet in the next 100 years. Perhaps the new UAE Mars Mission will wind up spurring other global powers into yet another space race, this time of the 21st century, not a mission to the moon, but a mission to Mars.


Close-up photos of dying star
About 550 light-years from Earth, a star like our Sun is writhing in its death throes. Chi Cygni has swollen in size to become a red giant star so large that it would swallow every planet out to Mars in our solar system. Moreover, it has begun to pulse dramatically in and out, beating like a giant heart. New close-up photos of the surface of this distant star show its throbbing motions in unprecedented detail.

Space Shuttle Launch
On February 24, 2011 CHS Technology teacher Barb Tennyson will be traveling to Florida to view the last lift off of the Space Shuttle Discovery from Kennedy Space Center.
On board will be six astronauts, one robot, spare parts for the International Space Station, and some LEGOs! NASA and LEGO have a new 3-year partnership with the goal of "Inspiring Children to Build and Explore the Future".
The launch has special meaning for Barb and the CHS community. Barb, along with fellow robotics teacher Karen Garrison, attended a weeklong robotics training at Tufts last summer through a NASA funded grant. NASA and LEGO are working hard to expand STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education in the elementary and middle schools.
Barb and Karen brought back their experience to CHS and have been teaching robotics and engineering principles to second, third, and sixth graders using LEGOs. In addition, second graders here at CHS are currently studying their "Place in Space" and have been learning about NASA and space travel.

Sub Solar Point
Students are taught that the sun has two apparent motions: a daily motion from east to west and an annual motion from north to south and back. While the first motion is obvious, the second is more difficult to see. At the same time, the north-south motion is one of the main causes of seasons. This model shows the “sub solar point”, the point on the earth’s surface where the sun is exactly overhead at that instant. In June, this point would be close to the Tropic of Cancer and move south to the Tropic of Capricorn in December.
The model is available in two forms, a student version that is made from card and a teacher version that is made from acrylic. Both models have maps of the earth printed on them and are centred at the location of the school; as a result, the kits are designed separately for each location. The acrylic model is specially designed and fabricated as per orders.

|Titel:||Magnetic fields in the intracluster medium||Sprache:||Englisch||Autor*in:||Domínguez Fernández, Paola||Erscheinungsdatum:||2020||Tag der mündlichen Prüfung:||2021-01-22||Zusammenfassung:||
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the Universe from small to large scales. While various theories have been proposed for their generation, their origin is still not well understood. In order to best address this fundamental question, we study the largest gravitationally bound systems that exist: galaxy clusters. Galaxy clusters are rich, astrophysical laboratories that help us understand phenomena in our Universe from the largest cosmological scales down to the micro-scales ruled by plasma physics. The space in between galaxies in galaxy clusters is filled with hot plasma called the intracluster medium (ICM). This plasma emits in X-ray and radio wavelengths. The acceleration of cosmic-ray electrons in magnetic fields with strengths of microGauss produces Mpc--sized structures of diffuse radio emission in the ICM typically grouped into two categories: radio haloes and radio relics. The particle acceleration mechanisms leading to this large-scale emission is not fully understood. In this doctoral thesis I have focused on studying the role of magnetic fields in galaxy clusters. My motivation was to answer the following questions: 1) What are the magnetic amplification mechanisms that lead to today’s observables?, 2) What is the role of galaxy cluster mergers in shaping magnetic fields?, 3) What defines the substructure in the synchrotron and polarised emission in radio relics?. To this end, I have used results from the cosmological MHD code ENZO, the MHD code FLASH and the hybrid MHD-Lagrangian PLUTO code. I have studied a primordial scenario along with a small-scale dynamo amplification in simulated galaxy clusters tackling questions 1) and 2). I have found that such scenario can reproduce cluster magnetic fields of the order of microGauss.Major and minor mergers are sources of both compression and turbulence and therefore play a key role in the magnetic amplification. In particular, they introduce multiple turbulence cascades that affect the growth of an existing small-scale dynamo. I found that major mergers can delay the dynamo amplification for a period of 1 Gyr. I have studied the diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) mechanism to simulate the radio and polarised emission observed in radio relics tackling question 3). I have found that turbulence has a significant impact on the morphology of synchrotron and polarised emission. The observed discrepancy between the Mach number of shocks derived from X-ray and from radio spectra is explained in this framework. Some observed radio relics exhibit a gradient of polarisation fraction which is higher at the shock front and lower at the downstream regions contrary to theoretical expectations. I find that turbulence may be able to explain this gradient.
