Where Does All Earth’s Gold Come From? | #Geology #GeologyPage #Gold

During the formation of Earth, molten iron sank to its centre to make the core. This took with it the vast majority of the planet’s precious metals — such as gold and platinum.

THIS LITTLE TURD IS THE PROBLEM IN WASHINGTON

NOT HONEST ABOUT HIMSELF
OR ANYTHING HE TOUCHES......

White Baneberry's berries look like creepy eyeballs. One of its common names is also "Doll's Eyes." These berries are extremely poisonous if you eat them, according to the Missouri Botanical Garden. That's why many animals avoid the plant. Humans should, too.

Going, going — nope, it's still just going, NASA says of its Voyager 2 probe, which the agency realized was approaching the edge of the solar system back in early October. In a statement released yesterday (Nov. 14), NASA shared additional data from the probe that gives engineers a sense of where the spacecraft currently is in relation to the solar system.

The Voyager 2 probe, which launched in 1977, swung past the gas giants of our solar system, making this spacecraft the only device to gather detailed data about Uranus and Neptune. Then, its mission complete, Voyager 2 barrelled on, out toward the edge of our solar system.
 
The new data comes from an instrument called the Low Energy Telescope, which tracks the low-energy particles characteristic of our solar system. Given the data Voyager 1sent home during its 2012 farewell, the team expects those encounters with low-energy particles to nearly disappear as the probe makes its exit, NASA said.

A graph shows how many heliospheric particles are hitting the Voyager 2 spacecraft. When the probe leaves the solar system, that count will be near zero.

And at the beginning of November, the team noticed a sharp decline in the number of particles encountered — but not all the way down to nearly zero, where it will remain after it leaves our neighborhood. That means that the spacecraft still has a ways to go before scientists can finally declare it free of its home solar system.

The new data adds to the first warning of Voyager 2's impending departure, which came from the probe's High Energy Telescope, which measures high-energy particles. Those particles become more prevalent as a spacecraft leaves the solar system.

The spike in energetic particles is a signature of the probe gradually losing the protection of a bubble around our sun called the heliopause. That bubble is formed by the solar wind, a constant stream of charged particles that is born in the sun, quickly accelerates in the star's atmosphere and then sets off across the entire solar system.

Because the sun's strength ebbs and grows, the precise location of that heliopause bubble isn't constant, which makes determining when Voyager 2 finally makes its escape more challenging.

But even as Voyager 2 is investigating the far edge of that solar wind stream, a much newer NASA spacecraft has begun investigating the place where that solar wind picks up so much speed. That's the sun's outer atmosphere, called the corona. The agency's Parker Solar Probe, which launched in August, made its first of 24 planned science passes around the sun earlier this month.

Diet plays an important role in heartburn. Many foods can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, which allows food to escape into the esophagus and cause heartburn. Here are 11 foods that can cause heartburn.

Boxing Highlights 4 ... "Defend Yourself At All Times" #1 ... Some of the most brutal, controversial, epic and even funny knockouts ... 9 out of 10

This week, as Vice President #MikePence crosses #Asia assuming duties traditionally carried out by the President, his boss Donald #Trump remains back in Washington to brood over electoral losses and the special counsel probe. He is skipping the yearly summits that usually bring US presidents around the globe for meetings with counterparts and high-profile speeches meant to illustrate American commitment in the region. Trump, who attended the gatherings last year but departed early, sent his No. 2 instead.

With Trump deciding to skip this year's summits, other leaders have sought to fill the void. Russian President #VladimirPutin was in Singapore to attend the #AssociationofSoutheastAsianNations and #EastAsiaSummit meetings, where he worked to strengthen economic and military ties in the region. Chinese President #XiJinping is planning to attend the #AsiaPacificEconomicCooperation summit in #PapuaNewGuinea, hoping to advance Beijing's influence in the South Pacific. Pence is there, too, but without the draw of being his country's No. 1.

Century's Longest Eclipse - Blood Moon

Skywatchers around the world have witnessed the longest "blood moon" eclipse of the 21st Century.

"Forests in the Pacific Northwest will be less vulnerable to drought and fire over the next three decades than those in the Rocky Mountains and Sierra Nevada, computer modeling by researchers in Oregon State University's College of Forestry shows.

The findings, published today in Global Change Biology, represent an important tool for scientists and land managers because woodlands throughout the western United States are under increasing stress from accelerated rates of drought-related mortality related to global, human-caused climate change.

Also, the Northwest's hemlock, Douglas-fir and redwood forests have tremendous potential to counteract climate change via their carbon-sequestration abilities, meaning policies that promote stewardship of those forests is critical, the scientists say.

"Recent prolonged droughts and catastrophic wildfires in the West have raised concerns about forest mortality and how that might impact forest structure and ecosystem services and also the economic vitality of nearby communities," said corresponding author Polly Buotte of OSU's Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society. "Forests in the West support high species diversity and some Pacific Northwest forests are among the highest carbon-density forests on Earth."

Buotte and College of Forestry colleague Beverly Law led a collaboration that modeled 13 different major forest types from around the western United States, taking into account climate conditions and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels over the next 30 years.

The model was high-resolution both from a spatial standpoint - it broke forests into grids of 16 square kilometers - and also because it looked at species-specific responses to environmental variables.

"The model calculated multiple biophysical and biogeochemical processes, including surface heat fluxes, photosynthesis, evaporation, transpiration, carbon allocation to plant tissue, decomposition and nitrogen cycling," Buotte said".

This collection is about the lies which Trump and his administration tell...
Trump told as many lies (815) in the last month of the election campaign as he spoke in the first 286 days of his presidency..

Toronto Star Washington correspondent Daniel Dale has done work documenting the lies that will be studied in the decades to come, just as the work of Woodward and Bernstein is still studied in reference to the Nixon era.
