Golden record

The golden record was meant to be a quick guide to the Earth for anyone or anything that came across Voyager 1 or 2 during their journeys across the stars. The pictures on the record were supposed to show what kinds of plants and animals lived on Earth, what the Earth itself looked like, and what humans were like at all ages and... 

Although it did not make it onto the golden record, there is one picture that could have explained all the materials that make up the people, animals, plants, rocks, oceans, and the rest of Earth. That picture is the periodic table of the elements. 

Today, we know that things are made of elements. An element is a basic building block of matter. Matter is the material that makes up everything in the universe, from stars to spacecraft to golden records. The periodic table is a list of all the basic building blocks of matter that are found naturally, along with some building blocks that have been created in the laboratory here on Earth. 

Some of the elements of war have found a place in peacetime. The same kind of reaction in uranium that makes an atomic bomb explode can be controlled to make electricity in a nuclear power plant. The Cassini spacecraft now orbiting the planet Saturn runs on plutonium fuel. Plutonium-based fuel was also used to power devices that the Apollo 14 astronauts left on the Moon, such as a seismometer left to detect movements of the Moons crust. The Voyager spacecraft also sent its golden record out to the stars with...

A great deal of success was attendant on the early application of PM-IRRAS to the gas/solid interface. Golden et ai (1981) reported the development of instrumentation, using conventional dispersive optics, able to record detailed infrared reflection-absorption spectra from molecules adsorbed on single-crystal Pt without any interference from the gas-phase species. 

Aha Now I had a lead, because his birth would be recorded in the Golden Book. 

Figure 3.35 (See color insert following page 390.) X-ray CT imaging shows radial dissociation of a hydrate core. Image number 1 -8 (top number on each image) recorded over 0-245 min (bottom number on each image). The cell pressure was decreased from 4.65 to 3.0 MPa over 248 min. The hydrate core temperature decreased from 277 to 274 K with time, following the three-phase methane hydrate equilibrium line.

The Council of Ten is so named because it consists of seventeen men, except when it is increased to thirty-two. That is typical of the tangle of misnamed and interlocking committees that govern the Republic. All members of all committees are noblemen, those whose names are written in the Golden Book. Commoners cannot be elected to office, but the most senior citizens, whose names are recorded in the Silver Book, are eligible for appointment to bureaucratic posts. Sciara is one of those. 

I ignored the mockery. It is true that I am entitled to put the letters NH before my name they stand for nobile homo and mean that my birth is recorded in the Golden Book, as Sciara s is not. Perhaps that rankled, but at least he had not publicly accused me of sorcery. The captain nodded to one of his men, who went into the guardroom and returned with a lantern and a jingling ring of keys. He crossed the... 

The golden goby Gobius auratus Risso, which was first recorded in the communities of near-shore macrophytes off the Crimea in early 1970-s and now it regularly occurs in the northeastern part of the sea and may also be referred to Mediterranean invaders [76].

I was dressed as an apprentice and carried luggage, but he knew me and knew I was recorded in the Golden Book, so he bowed. I inquired after Danese and was assured that he would be informed directly of the honor of my visit if I would be so gracious as to wait in theandrone. .. 

Formation of S" " is revealed by an orange coloration of the solutions when phenothiazine is electrochemically oxidized in acetonitrile and by a golden color when sulfuric acid is used as an oxidant. Characteristic absorption maxima located at 271, 437 and 515 my. were assigned to this species.The same spectrum is recorded when equivalent quantities of phenothiazine and phenothiazine-5-oxide are dissolved in 66% perchloric acid, " the sulfoxide being first converted by the acid into T+ (see Scheme 2, Section IV,B,2), then reduced to S" " by phenothiazine (R) as shown by Eq. (3) (Section IV,B,1).
