  2. Earthquake light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_light

    Lab experiments have validated that some rocks do ionise the oxygen in them when subjected to high stress levels. Research suggests that the angle of the fault is related to the likelihood of earthquake light generation, with subvertical (nearly vertical) faults in rifting environments having the most incidences of earthquake lights.

    During the incident, a 138,000 volt coupling capacitor potential device failed, resulting in an arc flash, which in turn burned aluminum, lighting up the sky with a blue-green spectacle visible for miles around and as far as New Jersey. It received the humorous name "Astoria Borealis" due to its resemblance to the northern lights.

  7. List of geological faults of England - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_geological_faults...

    This is a list of the named geological faults affecting the rocks of England. See the main article on faults for a fuller treatment of fault types and nomenclature but in brief, the main types are normal faults, reverse faults, thrusts or thrust faults and strike-slip faults. Many faults may have acted as both normal faults at one time and as ...

  8. List of NGC objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NGC_objects

    Some objects originally thought to be deep sky objects and listed in the NGC have been subsequently shown to be ordinary stars, so their inclusion in the catalog is now considered erroneous. [1] This list of stars is based on the "NGC 2000.0" version of the catalog, which lists the stars in its errata, [ 1 ] supplemented with data on each ...

    The Sky Gnome sender box connected to the main Digibox using the RS-232, audio out and RF2 connections. [2] RS-232 is used to obtain information about the Sky box, such as current channel and time, while the RF2 connection is used for transmitting remote control inputs from the Gnome to the digibox.
