Knowing it’s just color shifted makes me wonder if that white band in the upper right that looks like a reflection off the atmosphere is actually a reflection off the atmosphere. And also what method of color shifting was used. Are the colors representative of anything or did they just pick what made for the best photo?
Very blurry for a powerful telescope. Wonder if it’s because moon is moving fast relative to close telescope so the effective shutter speed needs to be relatively high?
JWST primarily looks at very large objects that are far away. Titan (and really everything in the solar system) is relatively close to us, but are tiny in comparison to galaxies/nebulae, so their actual size as they appear in the sky is a lot smaller.
This is interesting but gun type bombs are not feasible for plutonium. The fission rate is too fast and would destroy the plutonium in a “fizzle” instead of a large explosion. This device could not use plutonium because it would have to be much heavier and longer.
The distance required to accelerate the plutonium to speeds where predetonation would be less likely would mandate a gun barrel too long for any existing or planned bomber. The only way to use plutonium in a workable bomb was implosion—a far more difficult engineering task.
Also, the “shaped charge” plutonium bomb could not be assembled on site. It is too delicate a job for “spies” to do in a hotel room. This would have to be Uranium if assembled on site, and it may not even work then.
I wonder if the magazine knows this. Maybe they were fed incorrect info, since this may have been classified at the time.
Arguably rules and regulations have changed too, to affect this. Back then they also refueled the car during pit stops. This has not been the case since 2010.
I believe that recently they have added a regulation forcing a sort of buffer time between the ready sign and when the car may leave
You can run the car lighter if you can refuel during a pitstop. The extra time it cost to refuel is smaller than the lap time advantage a lighter car gives.
Due to the sports environmental appeal they have moved to much smaller engines, that are way more power efficient than they used to (1.6lit V6 hybrids) . I don’t believe that they actually could run a whole race without refueling, in the earlier eras.
Further more they have added a limit on how many tires they can use per weekend (and per season) as well as how many engines and engine parts. In the “old” days they’d use a brand new engine for qualifying and discard it for a new one for the actual race. I belive that they are down to 3 engines per driver for the whole season.
I should have thought about it, because it’s happened in regular life too: just like regular purpose cars on the street, even Formula One cars have become a lot more efficient and so they can run a lot more with a smaller tank.
It’s amazing how much they’ve improved cars and how it makes cars from the 1990’s appear clunkier (even if they did appear sleek at the time)
Tldr: it’s just a property of concentric circles (and it’s talking about average distance, not the closest passing).
I’ve made a diagram using online Paint on my phone, which I think you’ll agree is nothing short of perfect.
Basically you’re the blue dot (could represent any planet), and the purple is the sun (the middle of the concentric circles). The brown line represents the distance you are from it. The red lines represent orbits closer to it than you. As you can see, the further out the orbit, the more of it lies beyond the brown line. Ergo the closer to the middle the orbit is, the closer it is to you (on average).
I guess many roads are hundreds, if not thousands of years old. There are not many reasons to change the position of an established road, e.g. between cities, so I think the main roads that connect them often started as trails between villages and where upgraded according to the needs of the people. The junction in your city next to your city hall may have been an important trading spot before the middle ages already.
When asked if Reddit will remove the protesting messages [nb: "fuck /u/spez"], spokesperson Courtney Geesey-Dorr pointed to the r/Place canvas rules. One of those rules says that “targeted hate or harassment of private individuals (including mods and admin) and protected groups are violations of our [content] policy (Rule 1) and will be removed. In addition, posts, comments, and imagery that are hateful, graphic, sexually-explicit, and / or offensive are violations of our policy (Rule 6) and will be removed.”
At least I don't see any games I play in those screenshots. Am seeing a lot of the same designs I remember from last year, though, which really drives home why it should be a rare event. How boring.
One, they could be leaving the milder stuff as a plausible deniability thing. Like, “Of course we aren’t steamrolling the negative stuff, look how much is there!” while quietly removing the worse stuff.
Two, and this one is my favorite, with the mods on bad terms with the admins, the admins ironically just may not have the tools to keep up with the rest of the community and are settling for just erasing the worst stuff.
Also, I saw a theory yesterday that bringing back r/place could be a baiting tactic to take names and quietly ban the users who still have ill will towards the admins. If that’s the case, they may be leaving that stuff up intentionally and taking names…
Dragging a physical guillotine out onto the lawn of Steve’s house might be a bit much. Maybe. But this is a purely graphical, metaphorical depiction of people’s frustration. It’s not a real death threat.
