Saturn through telescope 20217/28/2023 Now look in the opposite direction from the Moon a little less far, and just a bit up from there, and you're at the brightest two or three stars of Aries. ■ This evening, spot orange Aldebaran about two fists at arm's length lower left of the Moon. How late into the night, and into the advancing season, can you keep Altair in view? The Triangle's third star, Altair, is farther to Vega's left or lower left. Start by spotting bright Vega, magnitude zero, in the northwest right after dark. ■ The Summer Triangle is sinking lower in the west as the season turns, and Altair is the first of its stars to go (as seen from mid-northern latitudes). See Bob King's Precious Hours with the Geminids. Want to do more? This year the International Meteor Organization is asking for help in determining the effect of bright moonlight on meteor activity, by means of careful counts for at least one hour and careful determinations of your limiting magnitude. Layer up even more warmly than you imagine you'll need remember about radiational cooling! Find a dark open spot with no local lights to get in your eyes, lie back in a reclining lawn chair, and gaze up into the stars. But those that do appear will be Earth-grazers skimming far across the top of the atmosphere. In early evening the meteors will be fewer because the shower's radiant point (in Gemini) will be low. Under suburban light pollution, maybe more like one a minute. Under a really dark sky during that time, you might see two or three meteors per minute on average. You have about three excellent dark-sky hours between then and the first light of dawn. By then the shower will be in full force, with its radiant high overhead. The light of the waxing gibbous Moon will wash out faintest meteors until the Moon sets around 3 a.m. ■ The Geminid meteor shower, often the best of the year, should be at its peak late tonight. By that time Cassiopeia has wheeled over to the high northwest and stands nearly upright on the bright end of its W shape. ![]() It's entirely below the north horizon if you're as far south as Miami.īut by 11 or midnight the Dipper stands straight up on its handle in fine view in the northeast. ■ The Big Dipper lies shyly down at its lowest just after dark, due north. By 9 or 10 he displays himself high in the southeast in full wintry glory. ■ Orion strides up clear of the east-northeast horizon by 7 p.m. ■ Have you seen any early Geminid meteors yet? The shower is due to peak in two days, late on the night of December 13-14. All this means that Pluto, at magnitude 14.4, is 50 million times fainter that Venus! And it's a lot farther from the illuminating Sun as well as from us. ■ Not that you'd have any possible way to see it, but this evening Pluto is less than 1° from Venus, 100 times farther in the background. It will continue to do so into the beginning of January. Venus, on the other hand, is enlarging while becoming a thinner, more dramatic crescent. Jupiter and Saturn are far past opposition, so don't be disappointed by the less-than-optimal telescopic views. As twilight fades, dimmer Saturn emerges between them. ■ Venus and Jupiter continue to blaze during and after twilight in the southwest and south-southwest, respectively. ■ Algol, high overhead in Perseus after dark, should be at minimum light (magnitude 3.4 instead of its usual 2.1) for a couple hours centered on its mid-eclipse time of 8:27 p.m. At dusk the Moon shines far off the upper-left end of the Venus-Saturn-Jupiter line, turning it into an immense, gently curving series of four objects. ■ First-quarter Moon tonight (exactly so at 8:36 p.m. ![]() For the world's mid-northern latitudes, tomorrow morning is your last chance to catch it at peak brightness in a dark sky. Later this week the comet will reappear very low in the west during evening twilight see December 16th below. On Sunday morning the 12th Comet Leonard may be just a trace brighter, but it'll be much lower and more involved in morning twilight. ![]() Use the finder chart at the bottom of See Comet Leonard at its Best to help you locate the exact place among the stars you need to examine. You'll almost certainly need binoculars or a wide-field telescope to detect it. The comet will be about 10° above horizontal. Go out just before the very first light of dawn, meaning about 90 or 100 minutes before your sunrise time. ■ Comet Leonard (C/2021 A1) is right now at its best! It's about magnitude 5.5, low due east tomorrow morning the 11th.

Oobleck non newtonian fluid7/28/2023 ![]() The table below summarises four types of non-Newtonian fluids. ![]() Some non-Newtonian fluids react as a result of the amount of stress applied, while others react as a result of the length of time that stress is applied. What youll need to make the easy oobleck. It is a type of substance called a non-Newtonian fluid. Not all non-Newtonian Fluids behave in the same way when stress is applied – some become more solid, others more fluid. Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid because it acts like a solid when squeezed and acts like a liquid when it is relaxed. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck, simultaneously has properties of both a solid and a liquid. Playing with oobleck is great fun for both children and adults. The liquid becomes a solid when pressed, hit, or shaken and then returns to its liquid state when the stress is removed. ![]() In this case, the oobleck’s viscosity or resistance to flow increases with applied stress. 6:28 PM EST Green oobleck Andrew Curran, via flickr, CC BY-ND 2.0 License What Is Oobleck Oobleck is a strange and very entertaining material. You can roll it into a solid ball in your hand, but if you stop moving it, it reverts to liquid and oozes out through your fingers. You can hit a bowlful with a hammer, and instead of splashing everywhere, the particles lock together. This liquid is a runny goo until you apply stress to it, and then it suddenly acts like a solid. Oobleck is a mixture of cornflour and water (similar to uncooked custard) named after a substance in a Dr Seuss book. In this case, the sauce’s viscosity decreases and it gets runnier with applied stress. This causes the tomato sauce to become more liquid and you can easily squirt some out. So what do you do? You shake or hit the bottle. You know there is some in there, but when you turn the bottle upside down, nothing comes out. Say you want to get some tomato sauce out of the bottle. Remove the stress (let them sit still or only move them slowly) and they will return to their earlier state. If you apply a force to such fluids (say you hit, shake or jump on them), the sudden application of stress can cause them to get thicker and act like a solid, or in some cases it results in the opposite behaviour and they may get runnier than they were before. Non-Newtonian fluids change their viscosity or flow behaviour under stress.
