Comet

8:00 P.M. The crowds on the beach were in a festive mood. Thousands had gathered for the big show and the Comet Roman was not disappointing. The comets colors kept shifting as the sunlight hit the giant ball of ice. It had taken on a reddish purple hue and the crowd cheered as the first of the meteorites streaked across the sky. The crowd oohed and aahed every minute or so as a new one appeared. Each meteor’s trail was different, some were white some blue or blue. The favorites were the red.…

Since ultrasound transducers cannot see through air, this will result in a comet tail artifact and will cancel out parts of the image—this is a major con. Another example presented as con with shadowing is when an echo from a side lobe beam becomes strong enough and returns to the receiver. It is ‘assigned’ to the main beam and…

Filmic interpretations of the apocalypse often focus on the anxiety between progress and destruction, because the way we see different technologies is intimately tied to how we see ourselves. Technology is shown alternately as our savior in trying times, a testament to our intelligence, or a testament to our mastery, but also as an accident waiting to happen, an isolating force, or a feeble attempt to raise ourselves to the level of deities. The stories we tell about technology, (especially…

Number 1:The Ordovician Silurian extinction This extinction happened about 439 million years ago because of a drop in sea levels as glaciers formed. An ice age has been blamed for the cause of the extinctions. A large ice sheet in the southern hemisphere caused climate change and a decrease in sea levels. A combination of this lowering of sea level caused a reduction in ecospace on continental shelves, and the cooling caused by the glaciation itself are some of the big factors for the…
