Seismometers, tiltmeters, magnetometers, and anemometers are sensors used at LIGO facilities to measure seismic waves, ground tilt, magnetic fields, and wind velocity. Seismometers detect seismic waves using a suspended magnetic mass within coils that induces a current as the coils move. Tiltmeters similarly measure tilt. Magnetometers monitor magnetic fields including from solar storms. Anemometers measure wind speed and direction. Sensors are located at various LIGO sites. Data from individual or multiple sensors can be plotted and analyzed to study earthquakes and seismic wave propagation.
LightSail Solar Sailing
The LightSail spacecraft successfully deployed its solar sail in low Earth orbit in 2015, but was unable to send pictures back due to technical issues. In 2016, LightSail will be released into a higher orbit where it will use solar radiation pressure on its large, ultra-thin sails to raise its orbit without other propulsion. By reflecting photons from sunlight, the sails transfer their momentum to propel the small, cube-shaped satellite as it communicates with and sends photos back to ground stations.
Gravitational waves
Gravitational waves are ripples in the curvature of spacetime that propagate as waves at the speed of light, generated in certain gravitational interactions that propagate outward from their source.these are very much different from all other topics regarding gravitation.
Gravitational wave
Gravitational waves are 'ripples' in the fabric of space-time caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe. Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves in 1916 in his general theory of relativity.

This document discusses upcoming experiments that will push tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity to new limits. Researchers plan to use pulsars, black holes, and gravitational wave detectors to search for deviations from relativity's predictions in extreme gravitational environments. Upcoming experiments include using pulsars to test the strong equivalence principle, directly imaging the black hole at the center of the Milky Way for the first time to test predictions about black hole shadows, and detecting gravitational waves from merging black holes and neutron stars. The results of these ambitious experiments could confirm Einstein's theory or reveal where it may break down and require modification.

Using data from the Moog analysis tool, the ratios of residual intensities in the stellar spectrum of the Ice Breaker Star revealed it to be a Spectral Type K3 ± 1 Giant star. Further analysis with Moog derived the star's effective temperature, surface gravity, and other characteristics. This supported it being a Phoenix Giant, which is formed from the merger of two stars in a binary system through Roche Lobe overflow. Spectra of the dust surrounding the star was also consistent with originating from the merger event.
Michelson-Morley Experiment
Michelson and Morley conducted an experiment using an interferometer to attempt to detect the motion of the Earth through the hypothesized luminiferous aether. Their improved design situated the device on a stable stone slab floating on mercury to reduce vibrations. The experiment found no difference in the travel times of light beams projected in different directions, disproving the existence of the aether and demonstrating that the speed of light is constant regardless of the observer's motion.
Michelson-Morley Experiment
The document summarizes Michelson and Morley's famous 1887 experiment that measured the motion of the Earth through the hypothesized luminiferous aether. Michelson's original design was not sensitive enough due to vibrations skewing the results. He teamed up with Morley to create a more stable design using a large stone slab floating on mercury. Their improved interferometer found no delay in the beams regardless of its orientation, demonstrating that the speed of light is the same in all reference frames and disproving the existence of the aether.

On my research on relativistic astrophysics – Overview: Astrophysics of black holes and gravitational waves – The case of LIGO GW150914
By: Herman J. Mosquera Cuesta (Ph. D. in Astrophysics)
Summary: Relativistic astrophysics is a major field of research on the structure and evolution of the Universe (including its astronomy taxonomical contents) which calls for the theory of gravity introduced by Albert Einstein in 1915. The General Theory of Relativity depicts the inextricable gravitational interaction between any sort of matter-energy and the space-time itself. In this seminar, I will deliver a panoramic overview around my contributions to this field of research. As a timely issue, I will focus mainly on the astrophysics of black holes and gravitational waves, as regards the most recent observations (The Binary Black Hole Merger GW150914) performed by the USA LIGO (laser interferometric gravitational-wave observatories).ILOA Galaxy Forum USA 2013 - Mariska Kriek
This document discusses different types of galaxies including elliptical and spiral galaxies like the Milky Way and Andromeda. It asks how these different galaxy types formed and if they are connected. Specifically, it explores how distant compact galaxies have increased in size over billions of years and if "spirals and ellipticals" underwent a "metamorphosis" or transformation from one type to the other over the lifetime of the universe.
G-waves (Gravitational wave)
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime which are created whenever objects with mass move. They were predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 on the basis of his theory of general relativity.[1] As gravitational waves are not created from stationary objects, they must be detected from moving systems. Sources of detectable gravitational waves include binary star systems composed of white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.
C Ms Intro
This document discusses star formation rates in high redshift galaxy clusters. It describes how the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes are used to study these early galaxy clusters that formed near the beginning of the universe. Studying star formation rates in high redshift galaxies provides insights into the earliest periods of star formation and allows scientists to better understand the development and future of galaxies.
LIGO - General Information
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity that are generated by accelerating masses. The LIGO project uses laser interferometry across 4km arms to detect passing gravitational waves. Sources include merging black holes and neutron stars. Detection of gravitational waves will allow observation of astrophysical events like supernovae and provide a new way to study the early universe and test general relativity in strong gravitational fields.

The document provides resources for educators to use NASA materials in their classrooms, including engineering challenges, opportunities to integrate math concepts about cratering on the moon, and a list of online tools for 21st century teaching including live binders and tiny URLs. Students will estimate crater sizes, compare lunar and classroom craters, and observe how projectile variables affect craters.
Gravitational waves
This document provides an overview of gravitational waves. It begins by explaining that Einstein's theory of general relativity predicted gravitational waves: ripples in spacetime created by accelerating massive objects. The document then discusses the sources of gravitational waves, including black holes and neutron stars, and the different types of gravitational waves they can produce. It describes how the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detects gravitational waves using interferometers, which measure interference patterns to study passing gravitational waves. Finally, it discusses why detecting gravitational waves can provide new insights into the universe and mentions plans to build the LIGO-India detector through a collaboration between US and Indian institutions.
Observation of gravitational waves from a binary black hole merger
On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave
Observatory simultaneously observed a transient gravitational-wave signal. The signal sweeps upwards in
frequency from 35 to 250 Hz with a peak gravitational-wave strain of 1.0 × 10−21. It matches the waveform
predicted by general relativity for the inspiral and merger of a pair of black holes and the ringdown of the
resulting single black hole. The signal was observed with a matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 24 and a
false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203 000 years, equivalent to a significance greater
than 5.1σ. The source lies at a luminosity distance of 410þ160
−180 Mpc corresponding to a redshift z ¼ 0.09þ0.03 −0.04 .
In the source frame, the initial black hole masses are 36þ5
−4M⊙ and 29þ4
−4M⊙, and the final black hole mass is
62þ4
−4M⊙, with 3.0þ0.5 −0.5M⊙c2 radiated in gravitational waves. All uncertainties define 90% credible intervals.
These observations demonstrate the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems. This is the first direct
detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger
Science achievement feb 2016
Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime caused by accelerating massive objects like binary star systems and merging black holes. On February 11, 2016, the LIGO and Virgo collaborations announced the first direct observation of gravitational waves from a merging black hole system over 1 billion lightyears away. Even the strongest gravitational waves have an extremely small effect on Earth, requiring sophisticated detectors like LIGO to detect the tiny changes in length they cause.

Artemis program
The presentation summarizes NASA's Artemis missions to return astronauts to the Moon by 2024. It discusses the goals of establishing a sustainable lunar presence to prepare for future missions to Mars. Key points include testing Orion and SLS on uncrewed Artemis I and II, then landing astronauts on Artemis III. Future missions will establish a lunar Gateway and explore more of the Moon's surface, testing technologies to live and operate in deep space. The Artemis program aims to demonstrate new capabilities needed for deep space exploration and establish a strategic US presence on the Moon.

Artemis program
The Artemis program is an ongoing government-funded crewed spaceflight program that has the goal of landing "the first woman and the next man" on the Moon, specifically at the lunar south pole region by 2024.[2][5] The program is carried out predominantly by NASA, U.S. commercial spaceflight companies contracted by NASA, and international partners such as the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the Australian Space Agency (ASA)[6]. NASA is leading the program, but expects international partnerships to play a key role in advancing Artemis as the next step towards the long-term goal of establishing a sustainable presence on the Moon, laying the foundation for private companies to build a lunar economy, and eventually sending humans to Mars.[7]
The CoRoT Satellite
The CoRoT satellite was launched in 2006 by the French space agency and ESA to study stellar convection, rotation, detect planetary transits, and detect starquakes. It detects planets as small as Earth by measuring the small dips in a star's luminosity caused when a planet passes in front. CoRoT has discovered several exoplanets, including CoRoT-Exo-7b, which is less than twice Earth's size and orbits its star once every 20 hours. Finding small, rocky exoplanets is important to understand if life could exist beyond Earth and how life first arose here.

How a black hole forms
A black hole forms when a massive star collapses in on itself, creating an area of extremely dense matter with intense gravitational pull. Anything that comes too close, including light, gets pulled into the black hole. A drama activity was described where students represented stars that grow close together, then suddenly spread out as if impacted by a supernova explosion. Some students then wore black masks and clothes to portray a black hole, pulling other "stars and planets" into the dark center and disappearing. The activity was intended to help students experience how black holes may form and demonstrate their powerful gravitational forces.
Mars
The document summarizes key facts about Mars, including its atmosphere, temperature, gravity, year and day length, and the possibility of life. The atmosphere is over 95% carbon dioxide, with much lower pressure than Earth. Temperatures range from -133 to 27 degrees Celsius. Gravity is only 38% of Earth's. Methane emissions suggest life could exist, as evidenced by bacteria found in Martian meteorites that landed on Earth, such as the Yamato 000593 and Nakhla meteorites.
fodder crops
The document discusses different types of forages used for feeding domestic animals. Fodders include plants that are cultivated and cut to feed animals indoors, such as guinea grass and fodder maize. Pastures include grasses and legumes grown in pasture lands for animals to graze, like Cenchrus, marvel grass, and spear grass. Forages can also be classified as grasses like maize, sorghum, and guinea grass or legumes like cowpea, cluster bean, and lucerne. The document then provides details on specific forage crops, including guinea grass, Napier grass, Cumbu Napier hybrid, and lucerne.

Cloning involves producing genetically identical individuals through recombinant DNA technology and molecular cloning techniques. There are several types of cloning including DNA cloning, reproductive cloning, and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive cloning uses somatic cell nuclear transfer to generate an animal with the same nuclear DNA as another existing or previously existing animal. Therapeutic cloning produces human embryos for stem cell research to study development and treat diseases. While cloning research has potential benefits, there are also significant health and ethical risks involved especially for reproductive cloning in humans.

A gallery of_planet_hunters
Radial velocity measurement, which detects tiny wobbles in a star's motion caused by an orbiting planet, was the first technique used to detect exoplanets in 1995. It remains a primary method and has discovered hundreds of planets by measuring changes in the star's spectrum over many observations. The Kepler space telescope has also found thousands of planet candidates using the transit method, which detects dips in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front. Other techniques like astrometry, microlensing, and direct imaging aim to directly image planets, but have had limited success so far due to the huge contrast between planet and star signals. Future space telescopes may enable direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets.

In total, there are 48 operating assistants, 125 teachers, and 573 students across the 12 academic units.
Cartoons about Deep Sky
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Activities about light pollution
This document summarizes the activities of a Turkish school's Comenius team focused on raising awareness about light pollution. Some of the activities included student contests to design astronaut outfits, build 3D models of space, and construct balloon rocket experiments. Students collaborated with a local university and media outlets to measure and map light pollution in their city. They created educational materials like a dictionary and cartoon explanations of scientists. The goal was to engage students in learning about light pollution and space through hands-on projects and competitions.
Sun and the Solar System
O documento apresenta uma peça de teatro realizada por alunos sobre o Sistema Solar. A peça mostra os planetas representados como personagens discutindo sobre a destruição da Terra pelos humanos e o medo de outros planetas de sofrerem o mesmo destino. Os alunos também apresentam uma música e dança sobre o Sol.
Sun
This document appears to be a presentation about science and astronomy projects conducted by students in Turkey and Europe. It discusses students participating in a mobility program in Lithuania, then researching topics like the sun, solar and lunar eclipses, and making 3D models of the Earth, Moon, and Sun. The presentation continues describing how students studied sundials, making their own and researching famous sundials in Turkey. It concludes with students making experiments about day and night and constructing amateur telescopes.
The Moon
This lesson plan aims to teach primary school students about the phases of the Moon and its effect on tides. Key points include:
- The Moon orbits Earth approximately every 28 days, appearing in different phases as it circles the planet.
- The changing shapes of the Moon are caused by the varying angles between the Moon, Earth, and Sun as the Moon revolves.
- Gravity from the Moon and Sun causes ocean tides on Earth to regularly rise and fall, with stronger tides occurring during full and new Moons.
Eratosthenes
Eratosthenes was a Greek scholar who calculated the circumference of the Earth using shadows from sticks in Alexandria and Syene. He observed that on the summer solstice, a stick in Alexandria cast a shadow while a stick in Syene did not. Knowing the distance between the cities, he calculated the circumference of the Earth to within a few percent of the actual measurement. Eratosthenes made several other contributions including accurately calculating the tilt of the Earth's axis and inventing the leap day.
Light pollution
This document discusses light pollution, which is excessive or inappropriate artificial light that harms human health and wildlife. It defines light pollution and describes its causes such as inadequate lighting design and incorrect installation. The consequences of light pollution include wasted energy, air and light pollution, and negative impacts on living beings. Wildlife like birds and sea turtles are especially harmed by light pollution disrupting natural behaviors and attracting animals to light sources where they can get injured or die. Prevention methods aim to direct light downward and use efficient bulbs to reduce impacts.
Exoplanets
An exoplanet is a planet that orbits a star other than the Sun. Nearly 2000 exoplanets have been discovered orbiting other stars by detecting their gravitational influence or observing dimming of the star's light as the planet passes in front. The Kepler space telescope has been instrumental in discovering many new exoplanets using the transit method of detection, including some that may be capable of hosting life such as Gliese 581g. As exoplanet discoveries increase, interest in finding signs of life on other worlds outside our solar system continues to grow.
Nebula
Nebulae are giant clouds of dust and gas found in space where stars are formed. They can be light years across and look fuzzy in appearance. When the gas and dust in a nebula collapses under its own gravity, it forms hot, dense cores where stars ignite and shine. Some nebulae glow due to radiation from young stars, called emission nebulae. Others reflect the light of stars, known as reflection nebulae. Planetary nebulae are formed when aging stars blow off their outer layers.
Sun - Our friend or foe
The document discusses the sun's positive and negative effects on humans. Positively, the sun provides warmth, energy through photosynthesis, boosts serotonin levels and immunity. However, ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer, sunburns, weaken the immune system, lead to heat stroke and damage eyes and skin over time. While the sun has benefits, prolonged unprotected exposure to its UV rays poses health risks like skin cancer, so protection is recommended to harness its energy safely.
Sun
The document summarizes information about the Sun, including:
1) It is an average star that produces energy through nuclear fusion in its core and contains over 99% of the mass in the Solar System.
2) Significant variations in solar activity like sunspots and solar flares can be seen from day to day and year to year, arising from the bending and twisting of magnetic fields in the Sun's atmosphere.
3) Coronal mass ejections are powerful explosions that can eject large amounts of plasma from the Sun's corona and impact Earth's environment and technology.
Solar system
The Solar System is comprised of the Sun and objects that orbit it. It formed 4.6 billion years ago from a giant cloud. The inner terrestrial planets like Earth are rocky, while the outer giant planets like Jupiter are much larger and gaseous. The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter, containing millions of objects but only about 1% of the mass of Earth. Ceres is the largest asteroid in the belt.
Life without the Moon
If the Moon suddenly vanished:
- Earth's axis would lose stability and wobble dramatically, causing extreme temperature changes and unpredictable seasons.
- Tides would be much smaller, caused only by the Sun, disrupting marine life and coastal ecosystems.
- Earth's rotation would speed up, with day lengths shortening to 8-10 hours and winds of 160-200 km/h sweeping the surface.
- Life on Earth would struggle to adapt to the entirely different environmental conditions without the stabilizing influence of the Moon.
Space lesson (8 - 10 grade)
The document outlines an integrated English/Astronomy lesson plan for secondary school students about space exploration. It includes vocabulary building, a timeline fill-in-the-blank exercise about major space events, dividing students into groups to write questions about the timeline, and a question/answer activity where students test each other's knowledge in a game format. The lesson aims to teach students about space topics while practicing English vocabulary and questioning skills.
Bulgaria bilateral meeting
This document outlines the program for a bilateral meeting between schools in Bulgaria and Lithuania from July 6-10, 2015. The theme of the visit was to develop integrated astronomy and English lessons for primary and secondary schools. The schedule included a guided visit to Vasil Aprilov Primary School in Ruse, Bulgaria, a workshop for teachers to prepare lesson plans, astronomy lessons for different grade levels, visits to local museums, and an excursion to the Rock Monastery of St. Dimitar Basarbovski.
Evaluation of the project
1. Students and teachers from several European countries participated in a survey to evaluate the Comenius Multilateral Project "Dive in the Sky".
2. The results showed that students found sharing the European project, learning about partner countries, exchanging experiences with foreign students, practicing astronomy and foreign languages to be mostly good or excellent.
3. Teachers rated their relationships with partners, communication, sharing tasks and organizing visits as excellent and found the support from administrators, colleagues and students to be good.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
