...gather--just as a swimming pool catches more rain than a bucket. So astronomers are looking forward to a ground-based monster with nearly 10 times the light-gathering area of the Keck, a space telescope more than 10 times as big as the Hubble and several radio telescopes with unprecedented sensitivity. Meanwhile, using the basic laws of physics, sophisticated computer simulations and tantalizing hints from existing telescopes, astronomers have put together a plausible scenario of what must have happened during the Dark Ages...
That being the case, a light beam traveling through expanding space is stretched as well, its wavelength getting longer as it goes. Long-wavelength light is red; stretch it out longer and it becomes infrared light and then microwaves and, finally, long-wavelength radio waves. The flash that came from the Big Bang started out as visible light; by now, 13.7 billion years later, it's still streaming through space, but it has been stretched so much that astronomers have to use microwave antennas to detect it. The earliest galaxies came after the Big Bang, so their light...
...spray canister with a six-foot range, and special super-bright headlights that disorient anyone outside. The vehicle also comes equipped with night vision and is surrounded by cameras that allow those inside to see a 360-degree panorama of their surroundings. The cameras, doors, windows, cell phone and radio are all voice activated. While there have been SmarTruck 1, 2 or 3 prototype vehicles, none have actually even been used, according to Brandon Card of ICRC...
...system gets busy and you hear little nuggets of silence. Although the system operates on a powerful version of the Bluetooth wireless networking system - and sounds significantly better than any stereo Bluetooth device I've heard to date - it can also experience interference with Wi-Fi devices and other radio-emitting products in your home. Such are the pitfalls of wireless technology...
...pages devoted to urging annulment; Brazilian MTV ran a spot that was criticized as encouraging youngsters to spoil their ballots; and rock stars have amplified the sedition with passionate pleas from the stage. The idea took hold so quickly that the federal electoral court rushed to counter it with radio and TV ads appealing to voters to make their decision count. "We have to make people realize that they are responsible for the future of Brazil," the court's Mello says of the campaign. "If there is a crisis, the solution is to improve things - and that means getting people...
