301: Wind EnergyEffective And Efficient Alternative Power Source
Though it is much less expensive to initially get subscriptions into the local electric company's grid than it is to set up and hook into wind turbines, in the long run one saves money by using the wind for one's energy needs while also becoming more independent. Not receiving an electric bill while enjoying the benefits of the modern electrically-
302: Wind Powered Energy For Alternative Use
There are many reasons why wind powered energy has gained in use in recent years. This form of energy is relatively easy to harvest. Rather than have to dig deep into the earth to obtain it, power companies can create wind farms. Within these locations they place wind turbines in installations. A basic wind turbine works like a fan in reverse. Rath
303: You Can Build Your Own Telescope
It really is easy to build your own telescope, if you are so inclined. Well, we won't say easy because it really depends on what kind of telescope you want to build. It's easy to build your own telescope if you want a simple device that conveys the basic principles of a telescope. If you are wanting a fully functional telescope that you want to
304: A Guide To The Basic Principles Of Fibre Optics
For years information was transmitted using electronic pulses down a copper wire as this was thought to be the most effective method available. This was until 1970 when the application of light refraction science was combined with cutting-edge engineering to create fibre optics. It is a unique triumph of the two disciplines and has revolutionised t
305: All About The Mystery of Black Holes
Black holes are among the strangest objects in the Universe. Hard to find, hard to explain, hard to understand and hard to imagine they defy the known laws of physics at their centre and provide mind boggling results at their edges. A black hole is impossible to see but there has been enough evidence to certify their existence. They are an importan
306: All About The Planet Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System and is the innermost of the gas giants. Named after the Roman King of the Gods the planet is located beyond the asteroid belt. Jupiter orbits between 740 million and 778 million km from the Sun and is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. It is the fourth brightest object in the sky behind the
307: All About The Planet Venus
Named after the Roman Goddess of love, the planet Venus is the second furthest from the Sun. It has been referred to as Earth's twin planet due to its remarkably similar size. Venus is also a rocky planet with a gaseous atmosphere, however it differs from Earth in a number of crucial ways.
Venus is the closest planet to Earth and the brightest o
308: All About The Planets Uranus and Neptune
Uranus and Neptune are known as the ice giants, huge blue planets located in the outer Solar System. They are similar to Jupiter and Saturn in that they are predominantly composed of gases and ice but differ in many key areas. While still dwarfing the inner planets the ice giants are smaller than the other gas giants. Due to their distance from Ear
309: Amazing Facts On the Hubble Telescope
The Hubble Space Telescope is a telescope in orbit around the Earth. It was launched into space on April 25, 1990, and is basically a giant observatory on board a space station. Its position outside the Earth's atmosphere provides a significant advantage over ground based telescopes as the images are not blurred by the atmosphere, there is no bac
310: Asteroid Apophis The End of Our Planet
If you ask anyone if they know what Apophis 99942 is then the answer will likely be a blank one. Ask the same question again in 2029 and then in 2036 then people will most definitely be more aware. Apophis 99942 is a near-Earth asteroid and for a brief while was considered the most likely object to collide with Earth. In 2029 it will make a record-

Australian researcher wants more young people to study science
By James Njoroge
There’s this article about Professor Wynne Jones, of Harper Adams University College in Australia, urging young people to study science. Actually, this is not the main theme of the article: It’s about the controversy surrounding genetically modified GM foods, and how i
313: Backyard Astronomy Without A Telescope
Are you looking to do backyard astronomy? You maybe stuck in a problem. No telescope and you still want to do backyard astronomy! In this article, you will discover some astronomy experiments you can do without the need for a telescope.
The first thing we see, when we look up at the sky, is lots of shinning points of light. These points of light
314: Benefits Of Buying A Reflecting Telescope
If you are looking to buy a telescope, one of the options you will find is the reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes have been popular for many reasons. And has been used by amateur astronomers since Isaac Newton invented it. As you read this article, you will discover why buying a reflector telescope can be one your best decisions.
