How does starlight travel trillions of miles through space? Light is a form of wave motion.<br />

Astronomical observations :
An optical <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/luaisph2-20/detail/B0000UMLYI" target="_blank">telescope</a> forms images of distant stars. They are built in 2 types:
<br />
<ol>
<li>Refractor - Galileo first used a refracting telescope in 1897. Refracting telescopes use mirrors and range in size from 60 mm to 40 inches.</li>
<li>Reflector - Newtonian telescopes originated by the British scientist Isaac Newton in 1668 instead use a lense to collect and focus starlight. They range in size from 76 mm (3 inches) to the largest 10.4 m ( 34 feet).</li>
</ol>
Dobsonian telescopes are reflecting telescopes and are very popular, easy to use and inexpensive. Cassegrains telescopes are more expensive but provide good image and resolution quality.
Telescopes come with a variety of eyepieces with different focal lengths so you can adjust the magnifying power when viewing various objects. Each eye piece provides different magnificence.</div>

</span></b>
<img src="http://cdn.cloudfiles.mosso.com/c122611/160a42bf-ca04-4284-913b-b46b772d29d3" /></span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 16.8px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Nissan unveiled its ground-breaking BladeGlider prototype today
in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with Williams Advanced Engineering
playing an important role in the car’s creation as Nissan’s technical
partner.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> First seen as a concept car at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, Nissan utilised Williams Advanced Engineering’s expertise in electric powertrains, aerodynamics and chassis dynamics to build two prototypes at the Williams factory in Grove, Oxfordshire. One will be on static display in Rio de Janeiro at the Olympic Park, while the second will be used in Rio for dynamic rides to select media and VIPs.
The demonstration vehicles feature an advanced three seat conceptual configuration with a narrow front track and wider rear track for enhanced aerodynamic efficiency and chassis dynamics. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The vehicle layout also features a very focused central driving position which further accentuates the sense of driver involvement. The fully electric concept, which was designed as a glimpse into the future of electric vehicles (EVs), features exceptional performance delivered by Williams Advanced Engineering’s battery and motor technology with a top speed in excess of 190km/h, with 0-100km/h taking less than five seconds.
BladeGlider further builds on a successful collaborative relationship between Williams Advanced Engineering and Nissan on a number of previous projects. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Speaking about the project Craig Wilson, Managing Director of Williams Advanced Engineering, said; “At Williams Advanced Engineering we like to use our expertise in automotive engineering to help customers push the boundaries with their new products. This is exactly what Nissan is doing with BladeGlider, a real-life study that shows the potential of EV cars in terms of styling and performance. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We were delighted to be involved with the project and Nissan’s forward-thinking approach to EVs.”
Daniele Schillaci, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., added; “Thanks to the partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering on the BladeGlider project, Nissan has been able to explore the potential for a high performance EV under the philosophy of Nissan Intelligent Mobility. </span><br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">With BladeGlider, we want to challenge the public’s expectations of what an EV could look like and the performance it can deliver.”</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The African continent is economically divided into four categories:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">oil economy</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">transition economy</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Technological learning will serve as the basis for growth in Africa.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Having established relationships with Europe, India and China, Africa is poised to grow significantly as the current idea of intra Africa trade between Northern and Southern Africa becomes more popular. The economies differ significantly. Eventually the f</span><span style="font-size: large;">undamental foundations of the continental economy will be enhanced. T</span><span style="font-size: large;">he difference offers the opportunity to fill a huge gap in the margin of productivity and an increase in the propensity for changes in local economies. </span><br />

<br />
<u>THINK DIFFERENT </u><br />
<br />
In the interview below, Grubb argues that tackling the energy and environmental problems of the 21st century requires three different domains of decision-making to be recognised and connected. These domains are: saticficing, optimising and transforming. Each domain involves different theoretical foundations, draws on different areas of evidence and implies different policies. For example, the theoretical foundations for each domain include behavioural, neoclassical and evolutionary economics respectively. Each is equally important.<br />

<br />
The study, the most comprehensive to date, examined the latest technologies, economics, law and policy related to SMR opportunities and included several recommendations to space agencies and analysis of options to advance this exploration.<br />
<br />
“This study is not about how to leverage space mineral resources, but rather how best to leverage them,” according to Art Dula, co-editor of the study and a faculty member of the Houston Law School where he teaches space law.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Civil and commercial space actors that engage in international endeavors must comply with space technology export controls. In the general discourse, members of the civil and commercial space community have an understanding of their domestic export control regime.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> However, a careful reading of the literature on space technology export controls reveals that certain questions relevant to international engagements have not been identified or answered.
What is the legal-political origin of space technology export controls?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">How do they relate to the current international legal structure? What steps can be taken to evolve our current unilateral paradigm of space technology within the context of peaceful exploration and use of outer space?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In this book, these and other relevant questions on space technology export controls are identified and assessed through an insightful case-study of the U.S. commercial communication export control regime.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The findings of this case-study are used in an international legal-political analysis of international space law, public international law, and international cooperation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Breaking new ground in international legal theory, a self-justified security dilemma that is manifest in international law is identified and explained as the origin for the current paradigm of space technology export controls.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Since then, all space suits worn by Americans have been adorned with the American flag. However, NASA has been supporting a design that may replace the American flag during space travel. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
