How a satellite burns in the atmosphere; The European Space Agency (THAT), together with the German Aerospace Research Center (DLR), performed a test that simulated the entry of a satellite into the atmosphere. The SADM unit (Solar Array Drive Mechanism), which is the most powerful part of the satellite, was placed in a plasma air tunnel, where it burned slowly.
How high can you jump on the planets of the solar system? A 3D simulation of the height to which we can jump according to gravity on the planets of the solar system: the Earth and its natural satellite the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and its satellite Phobos, Ceres, Jupiter and its satellite Ganymede , Saturn and its satellite Titan, Uranus, Neptune and its satellite Triton, Pluto and Eris.
First Interstellar Asteroid Wows Scientists Scientists were surprised and delighted to detect --for the first time-- an interstellar asteroid passing through our solar system. Additional observations brought more surprises: the object is cigar-shaped with a somewhat reddish hue. The asteroid, named ‘Oumuamua by its discoverers, is up to one-quarter mile (400 meters) long and highly-elongated—perhaps 10 times as long as it is wide. That is unlike any asteroid or comet observed in our solar system to date, and may provide new clues into how other solar systems formed.

DRONE Solar System Model- How far is Planet 9? I heart space but sometimes it can be hard to comprehend. I try to fix that in this video with junk you can find lying around your house. Also, if you’ve wondered how there could be a ninth planet that we’ve never noticed till now I try to clear that up too by demonstrating just how impossibly far away it is.

ZVEX Effects Candela Vibrophase ZVEX: Taking a giant leap forward into the past. The Candela Vibrophase is an audio guitar effect that produces a mono output which creates a realistic 3D rotary speaker effect combined with phasing, wah, vibrato and tremolo effects. This hypnotic sound is produced using no batteries or power supply, merely a candle that drives two solar cells and a Stirling heat engine that spins an optical control disc whose design can be controlled by the user.
