Hawaii (state) - geography.
limestone along the coast. The volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands are all so-called shield volcanoes, or lava domes. Unlike the volcanoes of Alaska and South America, those of Hawaii were notcreated by very explosive eruptions. Formed mostly by lava flows, they are great rounded mountain masses, rather than steep-sided cones. Mauna Kea, dormant forcenturies, is the highest mountain in the state. It rises to 4,205 m (13,796 ft) above sea level, and its summit is dotted with cinder cones formed by...

Observatory - astronomy.
Ultraviolet radiation, X rays, and gamma rays have shorter wavelengths than visible light has. These types of radiation tell astronomers about the hottest and mostviolent phenomena in the universe. Earth’s atmosphere blocks most of this radiation, so astronomers must send their observatories above the atmosphere aboardballoons, rockets, or satellites. Ultraviolet telescopes are much like visible light telescopes, but X-ray telescopes must have special nested cylindrical mirrors to prevent Xrays...

Telescope - astronomy.
Observatory). In some telescopes designed in the 1990s, the mirror’s weight has been dramatically reduced by sandwiching a honeycomb pattern of glass ribs between a thin, butrigid, concave mirror and a flat back plate. Engineers have even developed meniscus mirrors—mirrors that are too thin to support their own weight. An adjustableframework supports the meniscus mirror, and servomechanical actuators, controlled by computer, continually adjust the shape of the mirror as it tracks celestial tar...

observatoire.
(European Space Agency), a été lancé en 1978. Il comporte un télescope de 45 cm de diamètre qui observe dans le domaine de l'ultraviolet des objets jusqu'à la magnitude 16. De plus, l'instrument peut être facilement commandé du sol par les astronomes à partir de deux postes de commande, situés l'un dans le Maryland aux États-Unis, l'autre près de Madrid en Espagne. L'observatoire de rayons X Uhuru, ou SAS-1, lancé en 1970, a pu cataloguer 340 sources de rayons X. L'observatoire de rayons X Ein...

Astronomy - astronomy.
Telescopes may use either lenses or mirrors to gather visible light, permitting direct observation or photographic recording of distant objects. Those that use lenses arecalled refracting telescopes, since they use the property of refraction, or bending, of light ( see Optics: Reflection and Refraction ). The largest refracting telescope is the 40-in (1-m) telescope at the Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, founded in the late 19th century. Lenses bend different colors of light by d...

Kosmologie - Astronomie.
gegenwärtig gültige Modell des Universums. Auch Lemaître erarbeitete eine Lösung für Einsteins Gleichung. Bekannter aber ist seine These vom „Primitivatom”. Er stellte die Behauptung auf, dass die GalaxienBruchstücke dieses Atoms wären, die bei dessen Explosion weggeschleudert worden sind, was zur Ausdehnung des Universums führte. Das war der Ausgangspunkt für dieTheorie vom Urknall (englisch: Big Bang Theory ) als Ursprung des Universums. Die Geschicke des Friedmann’schen Universums werden vo...
