We used existing data from the New Horizons LORRI camera to measure optical-band ($0.4\lesssimλ\lesssim0.9{\rmμm}$) sky brightness within seven high galactic latitude fields. The average raw level measured while was 42 45 AU Sun is $33.2\pm0.5{\rm ~nW ~m^{-2} ~sr^{-1}}.$ This $\sim10\times$ darker than darkest accessible {\it Hubble Space Telescope}, highlighting utility of for detecting cosmic optical background (COB). Isolating COB contribution total requires subtracting scattered light...
The trajectories of low‐ and high‐energy ejecta from the Chicxulub impact crater have been computed using a numerical code compared with analyses debris deposited in K/T boundary sections. These calculations indicate that low‐energy produces centimeter‐ to meter‐thick deposits within ∼4000 km point impact, although its azimuthal distribution depends on incident angle projectile surface Earth. or vapor plume rises through atmosphere isotropically expands at top atmosphere. velocity this...
Abstract Geologists have long conducted laboratory experiments to offer a controlled environment for understanding processes that occur in nature and linking those with natural geologic landforms. And, over 70 yr, pilots researchers accessed reduced-gravity microgravity conditions by flying aircraft parabolic arc-shaped trajectories. However, only recently (technically since the 1980s but practically 2010s) has experimental geology begun find home flight application solid-bodied worlds of...
