~2.0 cm/s Jaseja et al. [28] 1964: The frequencies of two He–Ne masers, mounted on a rotating table, were compared. Unlike Cedarholm et al., the masers were placed perpendicular to each other. ~30 m/s Shamir and Fox [29] 1969: Both arms of the interferometer were contained in a transparent solid . The light source was a Helium–neon laser.
The English proper name for Earth's natural satellite is typically written as Moon, with a capital M. [19] [20] The noun moon is derived from Old English mōna, which stems from Proto-Germanic *mēnōn, [21] which in turn comes from Proto-Indo-European *mēnsis 'month' [22] (from earlier *mēnōt, genitive *mēneses) which may be related to the verb 'measure' (of time).
[3] [5] [2] The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner and colder than Earth's having a max density 20g/m 3 (about 2% of Earth’s value) with a temperature generally below zero down to -60 Celsius. The average surface pressure is about 610 pascals (0.088 psi) which is 0.6% of the Earth's value.
Free time often involves enjoying personal hobbies, communicating with family, or gazing out at Earth through the station’s windows. [309] The crew can watch TV aboard the station. [310] When the Space Shuttle was operating, the ISS crew aligned with the shuttle crew's Mission Elapsed Time, a flexible schedule based on the shuttle's launch.
The monthly average carbon dioxide (CO 2) level in Earth's atmosphere exceeds 420 parts per million (ppm) for the first time in recorded history. [ 124 ] [ 125 ] A new approach to reverse of neuropathic pain is demonstrated in animals – a gene therapy for local transgenes encoding for (releasing) GABA which is effective for months at a time.
Researchers find that China's CO 2 emissions surpassed that of all OECD countries combined for the first time in 2019. [174] [175] [176] On 20 May China's CO 2 emissions are found to be 9% higher than pre-COVID-19-pandemic levels in 2021-Q1 with CO 2 emissions from fossil fuels and cement production having grown by 14.5% compared to 2020. [174 ...
The earthquake moved Honshu 2.4 m (8 ft) east, shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 and 25 cm (4 and 10 in), [65] [66] [67] increased Earth's rotational speed by 1.8 μs per day, [68] and generated infrasound waves detected in perturbations of the low-orbiting Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer ...
