The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory or SOHO for short is a cooperative joint effort by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the U. S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The main mission of this project is to study the internal ... spacecraft have already helped scientists here on Earth discover and explain some of the mysteries of the Sun as well as to confirm some of their theories they previously held. For example, in May of 1998 with the help of the Michelson Doppler Interferometer scientists were able to see with greater clarity the giant convective cells inside and...

... the Earth's surface and independent of material properties. On the other hand, capillary forces are dependent on fluid properties, solid properties, and the geometry of the pore space (i.e., holes). The magnitude of capillary forces is thus variable, and can be much smaller or much larger than the gravitational force. An example of capillary forces exceeding gravity is capillary rise ... of considerable interest with respect to the protection and development of water supplies in semi-arid regions. These concerns are due to diminishing supplies and possible contamination from toxic waste. ...

... or some other type of made up drive name. Scientific people might think of Einstein's relativity theory on worm travel through black holes, or the next level in speed. What you probably would not hear anything about would be a space elevator that links the earth to outer space ... resources to and from space. Elevators that are connected to large platforms that house new types of space stations that could serve as new launch pads for space exploration. Getting into space is hard, not many people can, NASA blasts up into space at speeds of 17,500 mph, but imagine ... riding an elevator u...
