heliothermicthermoregulators. Individuals typically spend the night low in shrubby vegetation with body temperatures equal to ambient air, and then climb to the top or edges of their bushes to bask when the sun shines. For most species, body temperatures quickly stabilize between 29 and 32 °C, which they maintain while the sun shines (except C. schubotzi at 19 °C). Preferred temperatures in the

to make one full rotation, so there are 24 sections of right ascension. Right ascension is based off of a point called the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox is zero hours and the hours increase to the east. The vernal equinox is the point where the suns path across the sky (the ecliptic) crosses the celestial

work? In this article, we’ll learn what polarization is and how polarized sunglasses work. We’ll also explore the scientific innovation known as photochromatic sunglasses. First, let’s talk about polarization. Light waves, whether they’re from the sun or from an artificial light source, will vibrate and radiate outward in all directions. When its vibrations are aligned into one single plane of direction, the light is said to be polarized. You see natural polarization every time you look at the sun’s

The expansion of Universe The universe is compose of billions of stars, Milky Way, and Galaxies. The study of these three area of the universe has been done by many scientist. However, a person named Edwin Powell Hubble discovered something beyond Milky Way and Galaxies, which is called the Nebulae. According to Hubble, he stated that “Until recently those outer regions in the realm of speculation … they appear as small faint clouds mingled among the stars and many of them have long been known by

Solar energy is based on the sun's energy. So if there was a day when it was raining and there were clouds all over the sky, the sun would be concealed by the clouds and no sunlight would be able to break through. So if sunlight is not produced, solar energy users would have to conserve energy which costs more money than what fossil fuel users would have to pay. Another reason that

Trip to Florida It was May 1st, 2014. Time for our family’s annual vacation we were getting packed up for the night and our drive down to Florida. We’ve had been to Destin once before. When it was midnight, we loaded the car and drove through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. We stopped at a few places to grab food or gas. It was a long time, but it was worth it when we finally reached our condo. It was beautiful! We went to the balcony to see the ocean and

Upon entering the Hall of Gems and Mineral, you are plunged into the deep recesses of space where meteorites, the gems of space, rule. The roof of the Moon, Meteorites, and the Solar System gallery section was painted pitch black like the night sky. Along the roof, there were lights on tracks so that they could be moved to highlight specific pieces in the exhibit. These lights also seem to represent stars in the night sky, because they were bright, you could see them, but they were out of reach.

For my observing project I chose to do Messier 98 (M98). I chose M98 because I am absolutely fascinated by galaxies, and I think spiral galaxies look the coolest. M98 is located in the constellation Coma Berenices and it is in the Virgo Cluster of galaxies. A French astronomer, named Pierre Mechain, on March 15th 1781, discovered M98 and then Charles Messier measured its position and catalogued it on April 13, 1781. M98, also known as NGC 4192, is located at a Right Ascension of 12h 13m 48s and at

use solar energy? If you never know what solar lights for landscaping in front yard or backyard of your home are, let me tell you what exactly they are. Solar outdoor lighting will be able to use the sun power source like implicated to the name solar. The solar panel will collect energy from the sun and charge is rechargeable because the batteries are included with each landscape light. This solar garden lighting

connect to another through their works. Let’s take a deeper look into the lives of these three men. We can start with Galileo an Italian astronomer. He is known for a few things such as the Copernican theory which basically is the theory that supports sun centered solar system. Also Galileo became interested in astronomy, and after he did he built the first telescope back in 1609. With this new invention it helped him discover things about the planets. For an example it helped him discover
