Meteor burst communications (MBC), also referred to as meteor scatter communications, [1] is a radio propagation mode that exploits the ionized trails of meteors during atmospheric entry to establish brief communications paths between radio stations up to 2,250 kilometres (1,400 mi) apart. There can be forward-scatter or back-scatter of the ...
Leonids. The Leonids ( / ˈliːənɪdz / LEE-ə-nidz) are a prolific annual meteor shower associated with the comet Tempel–Tuttle, and are also known for their spectacular meteor storms that occur about every 33 years. [ 5] The Leonids get their name from the location of their radiant in the constellation Leo: the meteors appear to radiate ...
Meteor, or MeteorJS, is a partly proprietary, mostly free and open-source isomorphic JavaScript web framework [ 3] written using Node.js. Meteor allows for rapid prototyping and produces cross-platform ( Android, iOS, Web) code. The server-side MongoDB program is the only proprietary component of Meteor and is part of the Meteor download bundle.
Meteorite. The 60- tonne, 2.7 m-long (8.9 ft) Hoba meteorite in Namibia is the largest known intact meteorite. [ 1] A meteorite is a rock that originated in outer space and has fallen to the surface of a planet or moon. When the original object enters the atmosphere, various factors such as friction, pressure, and chemical interactions with the ...
A 112.2 gram (3.96 oz) Chelyabinsk meteorite specimen, one of many found within days of the airburst, this one between the villages of Deputatsky and Emanzhelinsk. The broken fragment displays a thick primary fusion crust with flow lines and a heavily shocked matrix with melt veins and planar fractures. Scale cube is 1 cm (0.39 in).
Meteor Crater, or Barringer Crater, is an impact crater about 37 mi (60 km) east of Flagstaff and 18 mi (29 km) west of Winslow in the desert of northern Arizona, United States. The site had several earlier names, and fragments of the meteorite are officially called the Canyon Diablo Meteorite , after the adjacent Canyon Diablo .
This is a list of largest meteorites on Earth.Size can be assessed by the largest fragment of a given meteorite or the total amount of material coming from the same meteorite fall: often a single meteoroid during atmospheric entry tends to fragment into more pieces.
Meteor Lake is Intel's codename for the first generation of Intel Core Ultra mobile processors, [3] and was officially launched on December 14, 2023. [4] It is the first generation of Intel mobile processors to use a chiplet architecture which means that the processor is a multi-chip module. [ 3 ]
