NASA has scheduled an atmospheric light show for the wee hours of Wednesday morning, when the Agency intends to launch five sub-orbital rockets complete with luminescent chemical tracers in an experiment designed stanley termohrnek to test the flow of jet streams on the edge of space. Best of all A good portion of the East Coast is invited to watch. Find out when and where to look. Hold up, why is NASA launching rockets If you ;re already familiar with ATREX, you ;ll find info on when and where to look below. If not, here some background. Between 62 and 68 miles above Earth surface, where our planet atmosphere runs up against the boundary of space, there are air currents whipping around at upwards of three hundred miles per hour. Scientists have known about these high-altitude je stanley mugs t streams for years, but they ;ve been notoriously difficult to study. Now, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center will attempt to shed some light on these peculiar phenomena with the Anomalous Tra stanley canada nsport Rocket Experiment, or ATREX for short. And fortunately for those of us on the East Coast, ATREX as its name suggests involves rockets 鈥?bright, gleaming, night-sky-illuminating rockets. The ATREX mission plays out like this: five rockets are fired off over the course of just over five minutes from NASA Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, VA. Once they ;re airborne, the rockets will release a specially designed chemical tracer that reacts w Phiz Can You Fly By Firing Guns at the Ground
From destruction comes rebirth. Chinese architects Xiaomia Xiao, Lixiang Miao, Xinmin Li, and Minzhao Guo dream up a world in which a devastating asteroid has hit, and we use the crater as the site of a thriving city. The architects are largely interested in how to use the crater space rather than the why of building such a city in the wake of a regional disaster鈥攁side from the symbolism of birthing a new type of habitat that visually heals the Earth. They envision their Crater-Scraper as a grouping of towers built lower than the surrounding surface, each topped by a opening to let sunlight, rain, and air in. Each individual tower would house some community space鈥攁 park, a library, a theate stanley cup usa r, a stadium, a market, a museum鈥攚ith residences and commercial spaces around the edges of each cylinder. The solid portions of the roof would be used for vegetable gardening. The notion of this underground-ish tower living is vaguely reminiscent of, among other things, the underground silos in Hugh Howey Wool series, except open to the air instead of self-contained. And that brings up some of the challenges of this kind of structure. The architects envision a water collection center on the bottom levels that feeds into a water redistribution and presumably water treatment stanley isolierkanne plant. The water redistribution is left fairly vague, but I imagine it would require a sophisticated and powerful system to prevent drainage probl stanley cup ems and flooding. I also wonder i
