Remote sensing is an advanced satellite technique to help hydrologists forecast floods and…

The Volcanic eruption of Mount Sourabaya was captured exclusively by NASA satellites. Volcanic ash and lava may not be the only thing the satellites captured. Aliens may have been watching the eruption even though humans couldn’t get a glimpse of the eruption live. According to NASA Earth Observatory, no humans live near the volcano’s ocean isle. If a UFO were spotted doing a flyby of the Mount Sourabaya eruption, it wouldn’t be the first time. There have been a number of UFO sightings at other…

Explorer 1 was the first unmanned satellite that the U.S. launched into space on January 31st, 1958 ultimately making the U.S. the second nation to make it to space. This was a very important moment for the country considering the one of many unsuccessful attempts at launching anything into space, this was a big confidence booster during the Space Race “(Space.com).” After the success of the launch, It was thought we were finally prepared to explore space. After the successful launch of Sputnik,…

the radio was the indication that the Soviet Union, had the upper hand in the space race successfully putting their first satellite Sputnik into orbit. This lead to a time in the United States that would forever separate the old from the new and bring endless amounts of innovations to science and even redefine the living standards in the United States. When the Soviet satellite Sputnik was launched the United States was at the time a world power and lead the world in several categories, except…

I moved to Yuba City, California approximately twelve years ago and have lived there ever since. I chose to analyze the climate trends of Yuba City because, even though I may move away soon after graduating college, it is where my parents will continue to live and I would like to have an idea of future climate changes in their city. Yuba City is a fairly small town in Sutter County with a population of 65,416 people (United States Census, 2013). It is located on the Feather River 45 miles north…

beds. This facility also houses the community clinic for laboratory tests, and x-ray services. Because of the rural status and the lack of a continuum of care for the community, Pocahontas Memorial Hospital is considering creating a comprehensive satellite health clinic. This clinic would be located closer to the community in Marlinton, WV. An evaluation of the community, such as the needs and environment, recommendations for the clinic, and feasibility of this project will be assessed.…

some impressive feats of technology being developed. The question is, what is the most magificent and high-tech of devices constructed to help advance our research? Some of the best achievements by far have been made in archeologists' technology. Satellites, Ground Penetrating radar, and Light Detection and Ranging are some of the most important discoveries for explorers, reducing the amount of time it takes to salvage ruins and doing so without having to go on foot. Archeologists are often…

is, until the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, into space. Weighing less than 200 pounds, this satellite sparked a new element of the Cold War gain international attention: the Space Race (History). The Space Race is the nickname for the…

According to EUMSTAT, “The first weather satellite, Vanguard 2, was launched on February 17, 1959. On October 13, 1959, Explorer 7 was launched and made the first meteorologicalmeasurements from the satellite Suomi's net flux radiometer.” The first real weather satellite to be considered a success was TIROS-1,launched by NASA on 1 April 1960”. The TIROS-1 lasted 79 days. Nine additional TIRO satellites were launched in 1965. We currently use satellites today to predict the weather. Meteorology…

satellites,minisatellites, and microsatellites largely exist in the form of tandem arrays (these elements originally got their name as "satellites" because they separated from the bulk of nuclear DNA during centrifugation). Sequences repeated in tandem are common at the centromere (where the two halves of a replicated chromosome…
