3C 273 is a quasar located at the center of a giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Virgo. It was the first quasar ever to be identified and is the visually brightest quasar in the sky as seen from Earth, with an apparent visual magnitude of 12.9. [ 2 ]
Chromosome conformation capture. Chromosome conformation capture techniques (often abbreviated to 3C technologies or 3C-based methods [1]) are a set of molecular biology methods used to analyze the spatial organization of chromatin in a cell. These methods quantify the number of interactions between genomic loci that are nearby in 3-D space ...
Titan IIIC. The Titan IIIC was an expendable launch system used by the United States Air Force from 1965 until 1982. It was the first Titan booster to feature large solid rocket motors and was planned to be used as a launcher for the Dyna-Soar, though the spaceplane was cancelled before it could fly. The majority of the launcher's payloads were ...
Launch Complex 36 (LC-36) is a launch complex located at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Historically, it served as a launch pad for Atlas rockets operated by NASA and the U.S. Air Force from 1962 to 2005. [ 1 ][ 2 ] In 2015, Blue Origin leased LC-36 with the goal of developing a new launch site for its orbital rockets.
The location of 3C 286 (circled in blue) 3C 286, also known by its position as 1328+307 (B1950 coordinates) or 1331+305 (J2000 coordinates), is a quasar [3] at redshift 0.8493 with a radial velocity of 164,137 km/s. [4] It is part of the Third Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources (3C Survey). The 3C Survey was conducted at the relatively low ...
Convair YB-60. Convair X-6. The Convair B-36 "Peacemaker"[N 1] is a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 is the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built, although it was exceeded in span and weight by the one-off Hughes Hercules.
3C 236, imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, 10.8 arcseconds (") view. 3C 236 is a Fanaroff and Riley Class II (FR II) radio galaxy. It is among the largest known radio galaxies, with the radio structure having a total linear size in excess of 4.5 Mpc (15 million light years). The galaxy features a "double-double" radio morphology consisting ...
Active: Falcon 9. Retired: Titan. Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40), sometimes referred to as " Slick Forty," is a launch pad located at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Initially opened as Launch Complex 40 (LC-40) and used by the United States Air Force for 55 launches of rockets from the Titan family between 1965 and 2005.
