- 5561: The Big Bang
- ... a portion of this randomness happened to form a bubble, with a temperature in excess of 10 to the power of 34 degrees Kelvin. Being that hot, naturally it expanded. For an extremely brief and short period, billionths of billionths of a second, it inflated. At the end of the period of inflation, the universe may have a diameter of a few centimetres. The temperature had cooled enough for particles of ...

- 5564: Neptune
- ... on the Great Dark Spot. The pinwheel shape of both the dark boundary and the white cirrus suggests that the storm system rotates counterclockwise. Periodic small scale patterns in the white cloud, possibly waves, are short lived and do not persist from one Neptunian rotation to the next. (Courtesy NASA/JPL) Until the Voyager 2 encounter in 1989, the rings surrounding Neptune were thought to be arcs. We now know that ...
- 5565: My Theory of the Universe
- ... be transported to a very strange world, read on if you dare! The planet you are on is a giant disco ball, rotating clockwise. (Earth) This disco ball is in a place that has two stories. It is on the first story ceiling, but the ceiling is made of glass so the disco ball can be seen from both floors. The walls of the room are black. There is a big ...
- 5566: Apollo 13 (AS-508): Houston, we have a problem.
- ... produce water. Spacecraft systems performance was nominal until the fans in cryogenic oxygen tank 2 were turned on at 55:53:18 ground elapsed time (GET). About 2 seconds after energizing the fan circuit, a short was indicated in the current from fuel cell 3, which was supplying power to cryogenic oxygen tank 2 fans. Within several additional seconds, two other shorted conditions occurred. Electrical shorts in the fan circuit ignited ...
- 5567: The Cask Of Amontillado
- The Cask Of Amontillado The Cask Of Amontillado, written by Edgar Allen Poe has introduced to us a character by the name of Montresor. As the main character of this short story, Montresor defines himself as a poor, demented guy who cunningly in his mind takes revenge on his fellow gentleman, Forunato.

- 5568: BETA PICTORIS: PLANETS? LIFE? OR WHAT?
- ... the edge-on disk is not symmetrical around the star (3). This suggests a more intimate relationship between the asymmetry and the properties of the inner disk. As the orbital timescale for particles is relatively short (less than 100 years), one would expect that the irregularities in the disk would have been smoothed out by now (3). Unless, there was something stirring it up, such as a planet (3). If there ...
- 5569: Stars
- ... star's light reaching the Earth; even if the measurements are combined, they give only the part that is not absorbed as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere absorbs all light of short wavelengths below ultraviolet and many of the long wavelengths above red. A theoretical correction can be made, based on the star's temperature, to give a "bolometric" magnitude, m(b), adding the energy absorbed by ...
- 5570: Constantine The Great
- ... had created. The victor in the struggle, his son Constantinus II, was an Arian, but he was no less committed to the Christianization of the empire than his father. Paganism survived, but only during the short reign of Julian the Apostate was it again represented on the imperial throne.
