Solar System Alignment Explained [Planetary Parade] @NSFScience

National Science Foundation News | Solar System Alignment Explained [Planetary Parade] @NSFScience | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
On June 3rd, a spectacular planetary alignment will be viewable from Earth's sky. Planetary parade is the alignment of 3 to 8 planets on the same side of the sun, on the sky from Earth. We see them lined up more or less in a straight line across the sky. There can be situations where all of the planets in the solar system are lined up on one side of the sun.

Not all of the planets are visible without a telescope, but many of them are. In this particular planetary parade, it's likely that we'll be able to see Mercury, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn but you would need a telescope to see Uranus and Neptune.

$Common Food Dye Turns Skin Transparent | Podcast Imaging is central to biology and medicine, but light refracts and scatters as it hits tissues and lipids. Zihao Ou, associate professor of physics at The University of Texas at Dallas, discusses his paper demonstrating a new technique to achieve optical transparency in live tissue, a project he worked on in Guosong Hongs research group as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University.$

$Tougher Concrete #news #science #concrete In the construction materials used for buildings and infrastructure such as roads, strength relates to the ability to sustain weight while toughness relates to resistance to cracking. But what if there was a building material stronger and tougher than traditional materials. We’ll explore in the U.S. National Science Foundation’s “Discovery Files”. Modern society depends on the resilient materials that make up the civil infrastructure we rely on daily. Durability becomes essential in heavily used roads, buildings, and water systems. NSF-supported engineers from Princeton University have demonstrated a new technique using a cement paste in a tube-like architecture to make materials resistant to cracking and sudden failures. Inspired by the architecture of human bone and its tough outer layer, the cement-based material is 5.6 times more damage-resistant than standard counterparts. In addition to improving fracture toughness, the researchers introduced a new method to quantify the statistical degree of disorder, an important quantity for design. The researchers hope to use advanced fabrication methods such as additive manufacturing to introduce combinations of hard and soft materials into the tube structures. This new approach could further expand the possible applications while helping engineers develop new concrete components.$
