The measurement of the Lense-Thirring effect is the first scientific goal of the HYPER project (Fig. 3) and will be more detailed in this section. The Lense-Thirring effect consists of a precession of a local reference frame (realized by inertial gyroscopes) and a non-local one realized by pointing the direction of fixed stars. This Lense-Thirring precession is given by ... [Pg.364]

Long-period comets their extended ellipsoidal orbits reach far outside our solar system (up to half the distance to the next fixed star). This group includes the comet Kohoutek, discovered in the 1970s, which requires about 75,000 years for a single orbit. [Pg.59]

Lithium in Natural Waters. In 1825-26 Berzelius determined the lithium content of several mineral waters from Bohemia and found as much as a centigram of lithium carbonate in every bottle of the water from the Kreuzbrunn Spring at Marienbad (58, 59, 60). One of the first spectroscopic analyses ever made resulted in the detection of lithium in sea water. In a letter to Sir Henry Roscoe written on November 15, 1859, Robert Bunsen mentioned that the spectroscope could be used to determine the chemical composition of the sun and fixed stars. Substances on the earth, he added, can be determined by this method just as easily as on the sun, so that, for example, I have been able to detect lithium in twenty grams of sea water (61). [Pg.489]

Fixed star saltpeter 16 parts, sulfur 4, meal powder 4, and antimony (sulfide) 2 parts. [Pg.58]

After Morley s retirement, Miller continued a lonely quest for more than 20 years. He repeated the experiment many times at Cleveland and at Mount Wilson, and typically found a nonnull difference of speed around 10 km/s [53-55]. More importantly, he carried out measurements during a whole calendar day, spaced at intervals of three months. He identified seasonal variations both in the magnitude of the difference of speeds, and in the shape of the daily curve [53]. He ascribed the seasonal variations to a motion of the solar system of 208 km/s relative to the fixed stars. This velocity is of the same order of magnitude as the currently accepted ys- 10 V However, his argumentation was not clear enough at that time. [Pg.343]

Hence, they concluded that Miller s experimentally observed seasonal variations were simple experimental artifacts Evidently, Shankland et al. [56] did not grasp the full meaning of Miller s suggestion that the sun was in motion relative to the fixed stars. [Pg.343]

Know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, whose number no man can compute. [Pg.240]

The gyroscope, or universal or Cardano s suspension at the intersection of each set of circles, where six mechanical bearings allow complete freedom of rotation about three axes. The rotor s motion is maintained electrically to have constant angular velocity the rotor will maintain its spin orientation unchanged in "inertial space" that is, with respect to the "fixed stars. [Pg.44]

Hydrogen gas has been found occluded in meteorites, and also is present in nebulae, fixed stars, and in the Sun. Anders and Grevesse calculated mass fractions of H, He, and heavier elements (Li-U) in the solar system, and derived values of 70.683, 27.431, and 1.886%, respectively. The major planets (Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus) contain large amounts of hydrogen in their atmospheres, along with He, CH4, and NH3. [Pg.1602]

The sidereal orbital period is the mean time for one revolution about the Sun relative to the fixed stars. The tropical orbital period is the mean time for one orbit from the same point to itself (such as equinox to equinox). The time between Venus-Earth oppositions. Retrograde rotation. Median radius = 6,051.64 km, mean radius = 6,051.84 km. Model-dependent constraint from Yoder (1997). The temperature and pressure at the median and mean radii are 738.4 K, 94.5 bar and 736.8 K, 93.3 bar, respectively. [Pg.487]

Spark mixtures are used for cases, constricted at one end, which can be suitably grouped and mounted, so as to be used for cascades of fire, suns,/ans, palm trees, fixed stars, and various other kinds of fireworks. These mixtures are also made up with additions giving a reddish light, and with metal filings those containing metals are known as " brUliant mixtures. ... [Pg.470]

In traditional cosmology, the first things created from the Elements are the Heavens, the Zodiac, the fixed stars and then the seven planets, literally wanderers, each of which has specific qualities that have particular resonances with all things on Earth. [Pg.17]

The fictitious forces are conventionally derived with the help of the framework of classical mechanics of a point particle. Newtonian mechanics recognizes a special class of coordinate systems called inertial frames. The Newton s laws of motion are defined in such a frame. A Newtonian frame (sometimes also referred to as a fixed, absolute or absolute frame) is undergoing no accelerations and conventionally constitute a coordinate system at rest with respect to the fixed stars or any coordinate system moving with constant velocity and without rotation relative to the inertial frame. The latter concept is known as the principle of Galilean relativity. Speaking about a rotating frame of reference we refer to a coordinate system that is rotating relative to an inertial frame. [Pg.723]

The elements in brackets [e.g.( A of A)]arc the nature of the herb, and the elements not in brackets are the elements in which the elements of the nature of the herb operate. The planets and signs in brackets are additional references which I found necessary to include due to the inability of various sources to agree on one planet or sign per herb. The planets and signs in brackets beside the Fixed Stars are those in accordance with such stars. [Pg.36]
