The other day my Blu-Ray remote control ceased to function. I had just changed the batteries a few weeks before but i opened the cover anyway to see what was happening. One of the Kirkland (Costco) AAA batteries (there were two inside) had leaked white powder into the compartment.
I noticed that the jugs of water we use at the compounding pharmacy have an expiration date. This got me thinking, does water expire? The first thing I checked was whether or not the government requires expiration dates on bottle water.
The SpaceX Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship is an ocean barge equipped with station keeping engines that has a large platform for landing the first stage rockets for reuse.
Mary Ann or Ginger?
We all know her best as Mary Ann Summers, stranded on Gilligan’s Island from September 26, 1964, to April 17, 1967. She was born in Reno, Nevada October 18, 1938, and in 1959 would be crowned Miss Nevada and compete for Miss America in 1960. She made her acting debut on ABC’s The Roaring ’20s and the movie The New Interns.
SiriusXM’s SXM 7 spacecraft, built by Maxar in Palo Alto, California, was lifted into space Sunday December 13, 2020 by a SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket. Another successful launch, for the partially reusable Falcon-9, surpassing the speed of sound in one minute and the first stage landing perfectly on the SpaceX’s drone ship “Read the Instructions” marking the booster’s, B1051, seventh trip into space and back.
The video below shows a speed comparison of spacecraft and spaceships from TV series, Movies, Games, and NASA, which means all real and fictional spaceships.
This is the full length video of a guy that has a lot of extra time and designed a squirrel obstacle course because they were defeating his “squirrel proof” bird feeders. I love all the science and technology involved and the guy is hilarious, even naming all the squirrels.
Ever time we use the Coal Tar Topical solution at our compounding pharmacy it takes me back to when I was a kid. The smell is the same as telephone poles or walking alongside the railroad tracks. I thought I would do a little research on this product. This Coal Tar Solution is used to treat eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and other skin disorders. What I was smelling at the railroad tracks was Coal Tar Creosote.
The gas giant, Jupiter, is an extreme planet with turbulent weather, magnetic fields and mega storms. NASA sent Juno on a 4 year, 10 month, 28 day trip to expand on the data we knew of this spectacular planet. The Lockheed Martin Juno space probe left Earth atop the Atlas V (AV-029) using a Russian built RD-180 main engine (powered by kerosene and liquid oxygen) and 5 solid rocket boosters.
This phenomenon occurs in most (if not all) cats
This is the scientific term that, my friend, Katie’s father has observed in cats. He is a retired nuclear physicist who worked for EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) conducting testing at their nuclear plants. He has determined that this phenomenon occurs in most (if not all) cats. My cat, Cort, proves this theory over and over.
Continue reading “Sudden Cat Acceleration”Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
