Title: HD 65949: The Highest Known Mercury Excess Of Any CP Star?
Authors: Charles R. Cowley, S. Hubrig, G. F. Gonzalez, N. Nunez
ESO spectra of HD 65949 show it to be unlike any of the well-known types within its temperature range ~ 13600K. It is neither a silicon, nor a mercury-...
A meteorite has smashed into the ground in Mexico, leaving a 30 meter wide crater, reports said. The meteorite impact was in the Ahuazotepec Municipality in Central Mexico between the cities of Puebla and Hidalgo. The precise impact area of the meteorite was in a relatively unpopulated area and hit...
Exposure to bright light such as sunlight elicits a sneeze or prickling sensation in about one of every four individuals. This study presents the first scientific examination of this phenomenon, called 'the photic sneeze reflex'. In the present experiment, 'photic sneezers' and controls were e...
