| Why can I see star clusters better when they’re in my peripheral vision? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 10:10 PM PDT I oftentimes find that I can see clusters of stars (sometimes just a couple slightly larger ones) better out of the corner of my eye. But tonight I observed what I'm assuming is part of the Milky Way better when not directly looking at it. In fact, when directly looking at it, I really couldn't make out many stars. Why might this be? [link] [comments]  |

| Does Meditation have the power to heal wounds faster? Posted: 06 Jul 2018 06:47 AM PDT Question is self explanatory and probably sounds unsual, but I've heard lots of benefits of meditation. So, does regular and consistent meditation over the years affect the body in any such way that it increases the healing capacity of the body? [link] [comments]  |
| Can mountains disrupt the paths of hurricanes? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 06:50 PM PDT Hello r/askscience, I know that mountains can create a rain shadow making the area down wind of the mountain very dry. I was curious if you had a mountain range would it disrupt the hurricane and possibly break it up? Or would the hurricane just roll over the mountains like very little was there? With my very very basic understanding( a few tens of minutes of reading) I would think the answer is yes. The edge of the hurricane would hit the mountains and be normal but as you got to the center of the hurricane there is less warm air up in the mountains and eventually all that will be left is cool air breaking the "engine" of the hurricane down. Thank you for your help! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2018 09:51 AM PDT I've always heard that galaxy motion is dominated by the gravitational effects of Dark Matter. Why then is there no measurable effect within our solar system? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 06 Jul 2018 01:19 AM PDT More questions: What would scientists even look for to determine whether this was true about a given chemical? Is such a state theoretically possible, and If so, but no such chemical exists, what conditions would have to be satisfied to make it so? [link] [comments]  |
| In relation is plasmons, what exactly are near field and far field? Posted: 06 Jul 2018 01:08 AM PDT Are they just referring to different properties of a plasmon, some that effect the near by electric field, and some that effect the far electric field? The paper I'm reading (read as: trying to understand) that's using this terminology is "On the Energy Shift between Near-Field and Far-Field Peak Intensities in Localized Plasmon Systems" by zuloga [link] [comments]  |
| Can other species suffer from gigantism? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 04:13 PM PDT If gigantism is a condition where your body produces too much growth hormones and most species have growth hormones why haven't I ever heard of or seen a picture of an animal with the condition? [link] [comments]  |
| Is it possible to simulate a fluid's motion without modelling it as a bunch of particles? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 05:58 PM PDT I do not understand fluid dynamics. Do real life fluids behave exactly like an infinite number of teensy particles, or is there something fundamentally different about their motion? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2018 09:46 AM PDT If you look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession#Classical_(Newtonian) We have an omega_p of precession, with the omega_s of spinning in the denominator. But if we look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nodal_precession We get omega in the numerator (right after the J2). Why do these have different dependencies? My understanding was that nodal precession IS a form of gyroscopic precession. Does anyone know the derivation for nodal precession? Would also appreciate any suggestions to other subreddits to ask, this feels pretty technical compared to what I usually see around here. [link] [comments]  |
| How do we know the age/lifespan of stars? Posted: 05 Jul 2018 04:12 PM PDT Was reading the wiki entry on open clusters after someone mentioned it elsewhere and came across this statement: "Open clusters generally survive for a few hundred million years, with the most massive ones surviving for a few billion years." How is it that we know this even though couldn't have watched it play out and we don't have any physical access to them. What sort of dating process is used and how do we know it works?
