"The Terratin Incident" is the eleventh episode of the first season of the American animated science fiction television series Star Trek. It first aired in the NBC Saturday morning lineup on November 17, 1973, [1] and was written by American screenwriter Paul Schneider [note 1] who had previously written the Original Series episodes "Balance of Terror" and "The Squire of Gothos".
HVM 3 has a spectral range from 0.6 to 3.6 microns—it is designed to work with high sensitivity (10 nm resolution) right at the center of water's key wavelength region in infrared light (from 2.5 to 3.5 microns) with high enough spectral resolution to differentiate between forms of water.
The size n of the orbit is called the length of the corresponding cycle; when n = 1, the single element in the orbit is called a fixed point of the permutation. A permutation is determined by giving an expression for each of its cycles, and one notation for permutations consist of writing such expressions one after another in some order.
Aqua (EOS PM-1) is a NASA scientific research satellite in orbit around the Earth, studying the precipitation, evaporation, and cycling of water. It is the second major component of the Earth Observing System (EOS) preceded by Terra (launched 1999) and followed by Aura (launched 2004).
Produced by WQED in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in association with the National Academy of Sciences as the centerpiece for a college-credit telecourse, [1] Planet Earth was filmed over a period of four years on all seven continents and from the ocean bottom to earth orbit. [1] The Annenberg/CPB Project and IBM funded production of the series. [2]
Re-narrated Horizon episode, first aired in the UK in 1972. [4]We give you a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a nature film. Oxford Scientific Films Unit shows how it tackles such problems as filming a wood wasp laying its eggs inside trees, the hatching of a chick and the courtship rituals of the stickleback.
Megha-Tropiques was a satellite mission to study the water cycle in the tropical atmosphere in the context of climate change. [4] A collaborative effort between Indian Space Research Organisation and French Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (), Megha-Tropiques was successfully deployed into orbit by a PSLV rocket in October 2011.
Orbital forcing is the effect on climate of slow changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis and shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun (see Milankovitch cycles).These orbital changes modify the total amount of sunlight reaching the Earth by up to 25% at mid-latitudes (from 400 to 500 W/(m 2) at latitudes of 60 degrees).
