Ugh. People freaking out about science with no good reason to gives me a headache.

Near space weather balloon

logo

Time lapse video of our engineering project at UMass Amherst. Our weather balloon, named the Shuttlecraft, reached an altitude of approximately 104000 ft. Pictures were taken every 5 seconds during the fight with a Canon a560 digital camera. The balloon traveled west as it gained altitude and then turned east where it climbed to its burst altitude. Upon reaching the maximum altitude, the balloon popped and the capsule descended back to earth. It landed off the coast of Plum Island, MA. The total trip time from launch to splashdown is 2.8 hours. Its ascent took 142 minutes and 20 seconds and it took 25 minutes and 55 seconds for it to descend back to earth. The capsule turned up four days later on the beach where it was found by a self proclaimed “Professional Beach bum” who kindly called us to arrange a pickup. After four days in the Atlantic we managed to retrieve the 8gb SDHC and get the pictures. Pictures include the Connecticut River and surrounding area, Granby MA, Holyoke MA, the former Mount Tom Ski Area, and the Atlantic Ocean. Special Thanks go to the “professional beach bum” who was kind enough to call us and meet us so we could retrieve our project. Without his help, our project would have been lost. We wish him well in his retirement. We would also like to thank Invensys for kindly sponsoring a second launch. We are currently testing the replacement parts and plan on launching it within the next 2 weeks. If you have any questions about our project, feel free

HiRISE Mars 3-D – New Amazing Flyovers

logo

HiRISE – High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment. The High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment Camera is a camera on board the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The 65 kg, $40 million (USD) instrument was built under the direction of the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. It consists of a 0.5 meter reflecting telescope, the largest of any deep space mission, which allows it to take pictures with resolutions up to 0.3 m, resolving objects about a meter across, or the size of a beachball. The HiRISE camera is designed to view surface features of Mars in greater detail than has previously been possible. This allows for the study of the age of Martian features, looking for landing sites for future Mars landers, and in general, seeing the Martian surface in far greater detail than has previously been done from orbit. By doing so, it is allowing better studies of Martian channels and valleys, volcanic landforms, possible former lakes and oceans, and other surface landforms as they exist on the Martian surface. • en.wikipedia.org — Doug Ellison from UnmannedSpaceflight.com has done it again and again and again. Here are new Mars flyover videos Doug has created from data from the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Using DEM (Digital Elevation Model) (also known as DTM Digital Terrain Model) files

This is an audio Deep Trance Meditation (DTM) session by Douglas James Cottrell set to images and subtitles to help summarize and convey the meaning of the words. If you are unfamiliar with Douglas’ work, he is a trance intuitive in the same vein and style as Edgar Cayce.

Vorticity model of an exosolar planet. The planet is in an eccentric orbit and is heated by the star. This movie represents some work I’ve been doing towards understanding and characterizing planets orbits around other stars (exoplanets). This particular planet is very exciting. It is approximately the size of Jupiter but orbits closers to the it’s star than Mercury and the orbit is non-circular (e=0.7). As a result is it heavily irradiated and continuously heating up and displaying dramatic dynamics.
