    Collection of Science Jokes P2

    So I just made this post on Facebook and thought it was too funny not to share :D

    Stargazing Is the INTEY Ultra-Clear Telescope a Good Choice for Beginner Astronomers?

    I seem to be missing a screw or something because there's a hole where you put the eyepiece lens in. And the eyepiece lens is loose. :/

    Stargazing Is the INTEY Ultra-Clear Telescope a Good Choice for Beginner Astronomers?

    Yeah mainly Jupiter and Saturn first, and maybe try and make out some slightly faint stars. Was hoping maybe a few of the nearest galaxies, and star clusters.

    I just bought this it will be my first telescope. I won't post the link to the website but I'll post the name and description of the telescope :) INTEY Ultra-Clear Telescope Christmas Gift Portable Astronomy Telescope Entry-level Telescope for Astronomers and Children (with an Additional...

    I Differentiation of sin function where's my mistake?

    I don't know, I just used a table of derivatives :/

    I Differentiation of sin function where's my mistake?

    I haven't done the chain rule yet I'll need to look into that :)

    I Differentiation of sin function where's my mistake?

    I was thinking and came up with this. I know it's wrong but can't find the mistake :( dy/dx sin(x) = cos(x) dy/dx sin(kx) = kcos(kx) So dy/dx sin(3x) = 3cos(3x) Now let Y = 3x dy/dx sin(Y) = cos(Y) = cos(3x) 3cos(3x) = cos(3x) 3 = 1 Where is the mistake?

    B How do astronomers find the "parallax angle" of a star?

    The entire world is divided into 360 degrees. These are then 'projected' onto the celestial sphere https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_sphere?wprov=sfti1

    B How do astronomers find the "parallax angle" of a star?

    We can imagine a line drawn from the star to Earth, and as the star appears to move, the line would appear to rotate through an angle x Once we know the angle and the distance between the Earth and the Sun, we can calculate the distance to the star This might help...

    B How do astronomers find the "parallax angle" of a star?

    It's how much the star appears to move in the sky per six weeks

    Imaginary value for magnetic field?

    These are the equations we used

    Imaginary value for magnetic field?

    So it was 66 micro Teslas

    Imaginary value for magnetic field?

    Our By was parallel to Earth, value of about 0.066 milli Tesla while Bx (parallel) was 0.74 milli Tesla and Bz (perpendicular) was 0.82 milli Tesla (approximately) :/
