crudely wrapped calendric object with smoke curling thickly from it like smokestacks. My friends and I, being only juniors in high school, investigated with curiosity. We know what cigarettes look like, but this peeked our curiosity. The smell came in waves along with the smoke from which seemed to crawl directly towards us. The smell being so pungent told us exactly to what curiosity lead us to, marijuana. Excited and scared our nerves jittered in our bodies as our mind raced with questions. The guys

to understand the ways of the world and exactly what it takes for certain seemingly unnatural events to happen. Geophysics covers a range of ideas from gravity, heat flow, seismic waves that cause vibrations through the Earth’s layers, radioactivity both geothermal and geochronological, electricity, electromagnetic waves and magnetism, fluid dynamics, and even condensed matter physics. So as we see, geophysics is indeed a very broad subject, yet when looked at under specific lights, we see that geophysics

galaxies, and irregular galaxies spiral galaxies : young stars- formed from dust and be blue elliptical galaxies: old stars, reddish to yellowish Most irregular galaxies were once spiral or elliptical galaxies that were then deformed either by gravitational attraction to a larger galaxy or by a collision with another galaxy. Our solar system, including the Sun, Earth, and all the other planets, is within one of the spiral

pictorial evidence of people standing over another making what is assumed hypnotic hand motions, but interpretation of such is difficult, (Waterfield 2004). Modern history starts with Franz Anton Mesmer’s (1733-1815) early notions on ‘universal gravitational fluid’ whereby the planets influence fluid inside the human body. Initial healing used magnets owing Mesmer to change his terminology to ‘animal magnetism.’ Mesmer conceived that an individual would become well again through the transference of

What’s Way Out There? Big Idea: The Hubble Space Telescope image “Hubble Ultra Deep Field” shows a variety of objects in the very distant Universe that can be systematically and scientifically counted, organized, and classified. Computer Setup and/or Materials Needed: a) Access to the image at: http:// www.spacetelescope.org/images/heic0406a/ That originated from http://www.spacetelescope.org/news/html/heic0406.html b) Access to the SkyWalker website at: http://www.aip.de/groups/galaxies/sw/udf/swudfV1

ribbon Reef is a common name for the Great Barrier Reef. The three types are ribbon, platform, and also fringe.The limestone walls that run along Queensland’s coastline create barriers. Those barriers help protect the animals and also they deflect waves for protection. The ribbon reefs are in the northern section of the Great Barrier Reef. Platform reefs are the second kind. They are also commonly named patch reefs. This reef is the most common in the Great Barrier Reef. Two types that demonstrate

Date: Introduction Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) can be defined as heavenly bodies or solar system objects that have been pulled gently by the gravitational force of the Earth bringing them close to into orbits and the Earth’s neighborhood. These NEOs include Near-Earth comets, Near- Earth asteroids, meteoroids and a few solar-orbiting spacecraft huge enough to be trailed in space before hitting the

with this technology, it will be possible to see gas-giant type planets in nearby solar systems in our Milky Way galaxy. Although about 100 such planets have been discovered in recent years, all were detected through indirect means, such as the gravitational effects on their parent stars, and none has actually been detected directly. WHAT IS ADAPTIVE OPTICS ? Adaptive optics refers to optical systems which adapt to compensate for optical effects introduced by the medium between
