...this a good time to start an online business? -Deborah Lee, Las Vegas It is a great time if you have some capital to establish yourself, but if you don't, you could run out, and then you gotta go back to looking for a paycheck...
...missions, the telescopes represent major technological achievements. The primary detectors of the scientific instruments on both telescopes have to be kept as cold as possible to be able to obtain high-resolution data while they make their observations. If the instruments or their surroundings reach higher temperatures, then they start to emit infrared themselves, swamping faint emissions from cool celestial objects. That means operating at temperatures of minus 272.7 degrees Celsius (522.9 degrees Fahrenheit), just 0.3 degrees above absolute zero. To do that, they use a cryostat, a giant bottle filled with more than 528 gallons...
...before Planck and Herschel reach their final destination, a gravitational "sweet spot" known as the Lagrange Point 2, where they can stay fixed in the same location relative to the earth and sun. Once there, they will need trillions of samples and bits of raw data before they can start generating their sky maps. But even if they deliver a fraction of the results that the eggheads on Earth are promising, the pictures should still be out of this world...
...stuff to greet the eye is going to be hard-boiled eggs--even though many 9 AM class sufferers and those athletes (who just so happen to have to wake up 3 hours earlier and be 10 times more intense) may need something a little more exciting to start the day. Without the draw of bacon and potatoes to get us up in the morning, we might as well just stay up late to do homework and grab that Red Bull--especially with newly enhanced brain breaks! All the athletes who wake up before dawn will also find it that...
...take pay cuts to save jobs. Other institutions have done just this, but at Harvard these calls go unanswered. Harvard has the reputation of preaching concern for the public good but not practicing such concern when it comes to its own affairs. Unless administrators, faculty, and higher-paid staff start to share some of the sacrifice, instead of foisting it all on those who earn far less, the university will continue to deserve this dubious reputation.
