Probably because she just published a book- Before the Big Bang The Origin of the Universe and What Lies Beyond

If you have a pair of red/blue 3D glasses, this 3D image of Example b in Post #10 is defiantly worth a look https://hirise-pds.lpl.arizona.edu/PDS/EXTRAS/ANAGLYPH/ESP/ORB_064400_064499/ESP_064445_1475_ESP_072715_1475/ESP_064445_1475_ESP_072715_1475_RED.browse.png

The starboard wing is deployed and latched. https://blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/01/08/primary-mirror-wings-deployed-all-major-deployments-complete/ The telescope is now structurally fully deployed. Who would have thought it would all work?

I thought glueballs were very well established theoretically and, in fact, required by the Standard Model. And that a number of credible candidates have been observed.

You can get all of the numbers you need from APOLLO BY THE NUMBERS You need to get the various weights from the various tables and do a little arithmetic to get your total, but there should be more than enough information there. Also remember that 11 did it's own DOI so some fuel had already...

Maybe this - APOLLO LUNAR DESCENT AND ASCENT TRAJECTORIES?

Also, it's not uncommon to see muons (and occasionally other cosmic ray related particles) in a cloud chamber. The average flux of muons at sea level is about 1 per square centimeter per minute.

It appears not only that it's alive, but it's well and returned to work! Hubble Returns to Full Science Observations and Releases New Images NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is back in business, exploring the universe near and far. The science instruments have returned to full operation...

It appears that it lives on- July 16, 2021 - NASA Successfully Switches to Backup Hardware on Hubble Space Telescope NASA has successfully switched to backup hardware on the Hubble Space Telescope, including powering on the backup payload computer, on July 15. The switch was performed to...

For anyone curious about the book, but not enough to spend $100. The book was Jurke's dissertation. He makes a pdf copy available on his website https://benjaminjurke.com It's at the bottom of the Academia & Research page under the Theses section.

This should be fairly straight forward. The orbital data from NASA should allow you to calculate the right ascension and declination of an object at the current (or any other) time. Once you have the RA and Dec you can calculate the longitude and latitude of the point on the Earth where the...

I'm more familiar with this as "Hinchliffe's Rule" and can't believe I didn't see it when I wrote the title. I've been known to call others on it.

We usually think of Venus as inhospitable due to its surface conditions- high temperature and atmospheric pressure, and the chemistry of the atmosphere. Generally no thought is given to the possibility of life in its atmosphere. The clouds at an altitude of ~60km are more temperate, with...

If you search for "curvaton" on the arXiv there are almost 400 papers listed. Many are published in high-impact, high-quality journals.

See, for example- A very special run for the LHCb experiment The 4th paragraph describes the proton-Helium collisions as fixed-target mode. But my main point was that LHCb does see collisions.
