A star has recently been discovered travelling in a circular orbit around our galaxy (the Milky Way). ItтАЩs orbit is 80 kilo-parsecs out, and it is traveling at a speed of 320 km/s. Deduce the mass of our galaxy from this. Compare your answer to the mass of everything we can see in our galaxy (1.2x10 42 kg). A kilo-parsec is 1000 parsecs, and a parsec is 3.1x10 16 m.

... Early on, our interest in chirping analysis functions was motivated by a different kind of chirping phenomenon: chirping due to perspective. ... Our interest in radar, however, drew us toward processes that are more accurately analyzed by linear-FM chirplets. ... We have also constructed other chirplet transforms, such as a three-parameter Doppler chirplet representation that models a source producing a sinusoidal wave, while moving along a straight line (e.g. a train whistle). ...

The amount of disorder increases . ... You can not go from a disordered system to an ordered system without inputting more energy (this is the most important attribute of the second law) . ... In no way can we recover work of that this disordered system without putting energy into the system. ... More on Thermodynamics . ...

... On Earth, we often see beautiful displays of red, orange and pink in the sky when the sun sets. This is because when the Sun is low in the sky its light bounces off more dust in the atmosphere and is scattered in different directions. ... Dust scatters blue light more than red light. ... But astronomers are clever: They use special telescopes that can see a different type of light that doesn t get scattered or absorbed by big dust particles: infra-red light. ...
