![]() Large meteoroids do not explode in the sense of chemical or nuclear explosives. This confusion is exacerbated by the tendency for airburst energies to be expressed in terms of nuclear weapon yields, as when the Tunguska airburst is given a rating in megatons of TNT. The use of the term explosion is somewhat loose in this context, and can be confusing. Larger or more solid meteorites may explode instead in a meteor airburst. Ram pressure and the very high temperatures it causes are the reasons few meteors make it all the way to the ground and most simply burn up or are ablated into tiny fragments. This is not due to friction, rather it is simply a consequence of many molecules and atoms being made to occupy a smaller space than formerly. As the air in front of the meteoroid is compressed its temperature quickly rises. The meteoroid then experiences what is known as ram pressure. Despite moving through the rarified upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere the immense speed at which a meteor travels nevertheless rapidly compresses the air in its path, creating a shock wave. Meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere from outer space traveling at hypersonic speeds of at least 11 km/s (7 mi/s) and often much faster. Ram pressure and atmospheric entry/re-entry In meteoroids This is an attractive mechanism to explain not only the presence of isolated dwarf galaxies away from galaxy clusters with particularly low hydrogen abundance to stellar mass ratio, but also the compression of gas in the centre of a dwarf galaxy and the subsequent reignition of star formation. Although the typical overdensity within the cosmic web is significantly lower than that found in the environment of galaxy clusters, the high relative speed between a dwarf and the cosmic web renders ram pressure efficient. More recently, it has been shown that ram pressure can also lead to the removal of gas in isolated dwarf galaxies that plunge through the cosmic web (the so-called cosmic web stripping process). ![]() Increased Hα emission, a sign of star formation, corresponds to the compressed CO region, suggesting that star formation may be accelerated, at least temporarily, while ram pressure stripping of neutral hydrogen is ongoing. Recent radio observation of carbon monoxide (CO) emission from three galaxies ( NGC 4330, NGC 4402, and NGC 4522) in the Virgo cluster point to the molecular gas not being stripped but instead being compressed by the ram pressure. Spiral galaxies that have fallen at least to the core of both the Virgo and Coma clusters have had their gas (neutral hydrogen) depleted in this way and simulations suggest that this process can happen relatively quickly, with 100% depletion occurring in 100 million years to a more gradual few billion years. As galaxies fall toward the center of a cluster, more and more of their gas is stripped out, including the cool, denser gas that is the source of continued star formation. Ram pressure stripping is thought to have profound effects on the evolution of galaxies. These ram pressure stripped galaxies will often have a large trailing tail and because of this they are commonly called "Jellyfish galaxies." Evidence of this ram pressure stripping can be seen in the image of NGC 4402. This pressure can strip gas out of the galaxy where, essentially, the gas is gravitationally bound to the galaxy less strongly than the force from the intracluster medium 'wind' due to the ram pressure. P ram = ρ u i u j the speed of the galaxy relative to the medium. It causes a drag force to be exerted on the body. Ram pressure is a pressure exerted on a body moving through a fluid medium, caused by relative bulk motion of the fluid rather than random thermal motion. Note the dust (brown) trailing behind (toward upper right) the galaxy, versus the dust-free (blue-white) leading edge. ![]() Ram pressure stripping in NGC 4402 as it falls towards the Virgo Supercluster (off image, toward bottom left).

![]() The hammer is created when Odin's adopted son Loki cuts off the hair of the goddess Sif as part of a cruel jest, and, when threatened with violence by Thor, promises to fetch replacement hair from the dwarf smiths. Mjolnir's origin in the Marvel Comics continuity mirrors the original Norse legend. The weapon's origin is eventually revealed in Thor Annual #11 (1983), with another version presented in Thor vol. 1966) in a story by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The first use of the hammer's name was in the "Tales of Asgard" feature in Thor #135 (Dec. 1962), being the means by which physician Donald Blake transformed into thunder god Thor Odinson (by striking it on the ground). Mjolnir debuted in print in the Marvel Comics title Journey into Mystery #83 (Aug. Mjolnir, wielded by Thor, as depicted in an 1895 illustration of a battle between Thor and Loki ![]() Conversely, the post-credit scene in Iron Man 2 and a scene from the second episode of the Disney+ TV series What If.? are the only MCU media in which Mjolnir appears while Thor does not. Stormbreaker first appears in Avengers: Infinity War (2018)-also the only MCU film in which Thor does not wield Mjolnir at all-and appears again in Avengers: Endgame, and Thor: Love and Thunder. Mjolnir first appeared in the post-credits scene in Iron Man 2 (2010), and has appeared thereafter in every film featuring Thor except for one, those being Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012), Thor: The Dark World (2013), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Doctor Strange (2016), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). Stormbreaker is an axe, and although it does not have such a worthiness enchantment, its power is such that a mere mortal attempting to wield it would be driven mad. Mjolnir is a hammer, and was enchanted by Thor's father, Odin, so that only those the hammer deemed "worthy" are capable of wielding or even lifting it. Both are melee weapons and were created out of Uru metal forged with the heat of a dying star in the Dwarven kingdom of Nidavellir, with the assistance of the dwarf king and master weapon-maker Eitri. Mjölnir (commonly written without diacritics as Mjolnir) and Stormbreaker, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), are sentient enchanted weapons of choice used by Thor, the Norse god of Thunder.

If a nearby obstruction is just over 5 feet away, that obstruction should be no more than 10 feet tall.Luminaire type LED weather-proof luminaire with IP66 protection for use in applications with high demands on variability, efficiency, quality of light and technology.The rain collector should be placed with at least 5 feet horizontal clearance from the nearest obstruction.In such an event, your station's rain collector is bound to miss a lot of falling rain because of the "shadow" cast by the building. Imagine if there's a building nearby to the west, and it is raining with a west wind. You want the Rain Collector (or, Rain Gauge) to receive rainfall as if it were in the middle of a large field. Hence, make sure the humidity sensor is at least 50 feet away from the nearest tree or body of water. Plants and bodies of water influence humidity measurements. Humidity measurements should reflect the humidity of the general atmosphere in your location. This aluminium sheet should shield the sun at all times and have plenty of ventilation. A cheaper solution if you cannot use a radiation shield is to use a sheet of aluminium mounted about 6 inches from the thermometer.If you purchase from Ambient Weather, use coupon code "wunderground" to receive a 10% discount.

Suggestion - use a radiation shield for your thermometer. The thermometer is at least 50 feet from the nearest paved surface.If the thermometer is placed above grass, again, it should be at least 5 feet above the grass surface.If the thermometer is placed on a roof-top, make sure it is at least 5 feet above the roof-top.The thermometer receives plenty of ventilation and is not blocked from the wind. ![]() The thermometer sensor never receives direct sunlight.When placing your weather staion, make sure: Meteorologists define temperature as the temperature in shade with plenty of ventilation. The most common error in installing a weather station is associated with misplacing the thermometer sensor. In fact, siting influences the accuracy of weather readings much more than the quality of the weather instruments themselves. Siting is the single most important factor in ensuring accurate readings. The process of deciding how and where to install your weather station is called "Siting". In order to report accurate weather information you must take care in deciding where to place your weather station. Your weather station should have good "fetch", or distance from any other tall object. If you place your weather station in an alley, you could very well get a wind tunnel effect on the anemometer, resulting in erroneous wind data. If your weather station is located under a tree or an overhang, the rainfall data measured by the station will not be correct. The location of your weather station is the most important part of installation.

For even while he dispatches his most trusted eyes and ears, including black ops specialist John Clark, to find out the truth of the matter, forces in China are moving ahead with a plan of truly audacious proportions. Were they political enemies, the Russian Mafia, or disaffected former KGB? Or, Ryan wonders, is something far more dangerous at work here? Things are unstable enough in Russia without high-level assassination, but even more disturbing may be the identities of the potential assassins. Newly elected in his own right, Jack Ryan has found that being President has gotten no easier: domestic pitfalls await him at every turn there's a revolution in Liberia the Asian economy is going down the tubes and now, in Moscow, someone may have tried to take out the chairman of the SVR-the former KGB-with a rocket-propelled grenade.

According to Thucydides in his Peloponnesian War (7.33.5) they provided 300 darters and two triremes. Metapontum would eventually destroy Siris and go on to play an important role in the political and military events of the 5th century BCE, notably supporting the Athenian expeditions against Sicily and on the Italian mainland. 497 BCE) who spent the latter part of his life at Metapontum. One notable resident was the philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras (c. The city was protected by an encircling fortification wall. The city proper covered around 150 hectares (370 acres) and had several main roads with the largest measuring 22 metres in width. The wealth and trade conducted by Metapontum are further evidenced by the minting of coinage, which was stamped with an ear of wheat in recognition of the city's debt to agriculture, the presence of dedicated areas of workshops, and the numerous dedications made at Panhellenic sites such as Olympia, where the city had a treasury building, and Delphi. A fully-Greek settlement seems to date from c. ![]() Archaeological evidence points to the presence on the site of an earlier Italian town which then displays evidence of Greek culture. 720 BCE as part of the wave of Greek colonization from the 8th century BCE onwards across the entire region of southern Italy. The city, situated at the mouths of the Bradano and Basento Rivers, was founded by the Achaeans of the Greek Peloponnese c. Metapontum ( Greek: Metapontion, modern name: Metaponto) is located on a fertile plain which stretches along the southern coastline of the Basilicata region of southern Italy.
