... The greater the distance, the smaller the parallax. ... That triangle has the same proportions as the much larger triangle ABC, and therefore, if the distance B'C to the thumb is 10 times the distance A'B' between the eyes, the distance AC to the far landmark is also 10 times the distance AB. ... The most distant objects our eyes can see are the stars, and they are very far indeed: light which moves at 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second, would take years, often many years, to reach them. ...

... The change in the temperature dependence of the resistance, R ( T ), of ceramic YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 - x as oxygen is removed from the sample has been studied. The superconducting transition temperature shifts progressively downward in the process. ... The temperature dependence of the resistivity, ( T ), is linear, with a progressively increasing slope, only at T > 400 K. It is suggested that oxygen condenses on Cu-O chains at T 400 K.

Watching the Detective Although a lot is happening during the seasons, the facts seem to fit together. ... From these facts, we should be able to figure out the cause of the seasons. ... Facts 4, 5, and 8 indicate that the seasons have something to do with the Sun. ... Although the angle varies by the same amount at every latitude (see figure 4 ), the effect of this variation on solar heating increases with latitude, a fact you can confirm with a little trigonometry (see Geometry of the Seasons ). ...
