    Stargazing What's Happening in the Night Sky? Upcoming Astronomy Events to Look Out For!

    Hi, this is a photo from Hungary (Fényi Gyula Observatory, Miskolc), between the third and fourth contact of the Venus transit. MEADE APO EMC 152/1370 with Baader solar filter + CANON EOS 1000D 1/1250 exposure time with ISO200. It was quite cloudy, but finally we managed to see the end of the...

    Stargazing What's Happening in the Night Sky? Upcoming Astronomy Events to Look Out For!

    "When it does turn our way in the days ahead, it should be an "easy target for backyard solar telescopes," according to SpaceWeather.com." Some of my friends told me it is also visible with the naked eye (using protection of course).

    Stargazing What's Happening in the Night Sky? Upcoming Astronomy Events to Look Out For!

    Have you heard about that? A huge meteor (bolida) hit the atmosphere in 28th February somewhere in Hungary or Slovakia, at the border. It is possible that some remnants hit the ground as well. A lot of people heard ans saw the blast, there are seismology data as well. These are now under...

    What is the Difference Between Absorbance and Transmittance?

    Dear Forumers, As a non-English speaker, I am confused about absorbance and absorptance. I found some definitions on the Internet, but I am not sure if understand them well. Oxford dictionary says the following (Oxford Dictionary of Physics, 4th ED. ISBN0-19-860759-8) for abroptance: "Symbol...

    Solve Temperature/Metal Help: Calc Specific Heat & ID

    If all the heat from the metal can only pass into the water: 1. c_metal *_m_metal *delta_T_metal = c_water * m_water * delta_T_water 2. delta_T_water = T_final_water - T_initial_water and so on in the case of the metal From this I think it is possible to answer the 4. question...

    Boiling liquid in a closed vessel

    attempt I can look out the saturation(vapor) pressure from a table. What do you mean about equ. temperature? Here's my attempt to answer the questions: Known quantities: V_vessel - volume of the vessel M_refr - molar mass of the gas m_refr - mass of the refrigerant filled in the vessel...

    Boiling liquid in a closed vessel

    I am afraid I was not clear. Just think about a vessel that contains some kind of a refrigerant, or LN2. Above it there is some vapor and air. The vessel is closed. The temperature is above the boiling point of the system. -What is the pressure inside? -How many gas molecules are in the vapor...

    Solution. . ? After some "googling": find /path/to/interest/ -type f -exec echo rm "{}" \; .. and if you find everything allright, then just remove echo from the command line: find /path/to/interest/ -type f -exec rm "{}" \; Take care! rm can do a lot of harm! Source is here...
