The science thread

[Doubar]

I'll try to. Well in general I wouldn't be all too afraid since it's genetics and I really like that one. But with all the other tests I had to write lately I didn't have all too much time to prepare so if the test is going to be tough then I am going to get in trouble ... But, uh well, we'll see. See ya later this afternoon.

You'll be fine. Just do your best. And if you do fall into a trap, today is a good day to die. ;D

Hey, today is the day Pluto was discovered. encyclopedia.tfd.com/Pluto+%28planet%29

"On February 18, 1930, Tombaugh discovered a possible moving object on photographic plates taken on January 23 and January 29 of that year. A lesser-quality photograph taken on January 20 helped confirm the movement."

what kind of clouds are these?
*all her body shivers*



"Explanation: What could create a huge hole in the clouds? Such a hole, likely hundreds of meters across, was photographed last month from a driveway near Mobile, Alabama, USA. Very unusual to see, hole-punch clouds like this are still the topic of meteorological speculation. A leading hypothesis holds that the hole-punch cloud is caused by falling ice-crystals. The ice-crystals could originate in a higher cloud or be facilitated by a passing airplane exhaust. If the air has just the right temperature and moisture content, the falling crystals will absorb water from the air and grow. For this to happen, the water must be so cold that all it needs is a surface to freeze on. The moisture lost from the air increases the evaporation rate from the cloud water droplets so they dissipate to form the hole. The now heavier ice crystals continue to fall and form the more tenuous wispy cloud-like virga seen inside and just below the hole. Water and ice from the virga evaporates before they reach the groun"

and what is this ?

Your first post:
Ah, come on Bryn. The bottom three pictures are typical during tornado formation or really severe storms. And the top picture probably happened because of a cold frontal passage mixed with specific weather conditions. I say a similar ring before. And hehe, have you seen The Day After Tomorrow. Yes, the world is going to end. ;D

Your second post:
Oh, tornadoes. ;D

Cool pictures

[Bryn]

nice pictures, the last one is diffently a formation of a large tornado.
