Most scientists believe that pulsars emit their pulses by spinning rapidly. The time between pulses has been believed to be constant, but Drake has found that it is increasing very slightly. The energy the pulsar loses in rotation is given off as radiation; the energy loss of a pulsar is 100,000 times the energy loss...
...crow? a CROW? No, no, no, no, no, my goodness no, not a crow at all. They emit a beautiful sound, a sort of kissing sound-chwink, chwink-which a crow cannot even approach. Pity is that they do it right on my window sill at dawn...
...next six months, OAO is scheduled to study more than 50,000 stars, most of them of the hot, young variety that emit 95% of their energy in heretofore unobservable ultraviolet light. From the ultraviolet TV pictures and data that the satellite transmits, scientists hope to learn more about the chemical composition of the stars, their temperatures, their rate of burning and their total energy emission. These characteristics in turn should help them understand how stars are born out of cosmic dust and gas, how heavy elements are formed in stars and how the universe itself evolved...
Exposure to natural radiation, Moeller said, is nowhere near a dangerous level but has been increasing. Just using brick or concrete instead of wood as a building material exposes people to more radiation, he said. Similarly, some foods emit more radiation than others...
...experience told them exactly how an ant feels walking across a Coca-Cola sign. Then it was on to James Seawright's electronic cathedral, where their movements were recorded by an electronic brain that transmitted signals to each of twelve surrounding black Formica columns, causing them to emit soft, strange organlike notes, eerie wind effects and gentle light patterns...
