Where does the rainbow end? | Questions | Naked Scientists Because rainbows are made in the sky, they don't touch the ground So if you're on the ground, however far you walk, the end of the rainbow will always look as if it were on the edge of the horizon
Why does the rainbow sometimes seem to end? | Science Questions I have been fortunate on a number of occasions to be fairly close to the end of a rainbow, 300 or 400 meters away, where you can see the actual end of the rainbow striking the ground If you look through it to see objects behind, you can see clearly that the coloured lines are on your side The actual rainbow seems to be close to half a circle, but why does it appear to end there? Is it going
Do rainbows follow the contours of the horizon? Question Do rainbows follow the contours of the horizon, so the curvatire of the Earth gives the curve of a rainbow, or is it the sun? Can you also get a Moonbow?
Is it possible to reach the end of a rainbow? The end of the rainbow was quite large, roughly the size of the road itself, and was touching down directly on the road ahead of us, and having played with the rainbows a water hose is capable of making, I had thought such an objectified manifestation of a rainbow was impossible
Russian rocket launchpad goes up in smoke | Interviews Russia has confirmed it has accidentally destroyed its only way of sending astronauts into space Moscow’s only crewed rocket launch site - which is based in neighbouring Kazakhstan - suffered major damage following a launch to the International Space Station at the end of November Richard Hollingham from the Space Boffins has been telling Chris Smith what went wrong…
Iran uses chemistry to make rain | Interviews - The Naked Scientists Peter - The idea behind cloud seeding, something that has been discussed since the early 20th century, is to increase what’s called the number of cloud nuclei — condensation nuclei — within a cloud If you have little particles within a cloud, it is much easier for droplets to condense out of water vapour to form drops, which then go on to produce rain The idea is that if you increase
Colours in CDs | Experiments | Naked Scientists Result You should find that you see funky colours in the reflection, but that all the lights don't look the same A conventional lightbulb will produce a smooth rainbow A compact fluorescent light, or energy saving bulb, will produce a series of images of the bulb A red LED bikelight won't produce any colours other than the red you can see normally ,
Universe expansion may be slowing | Interviews South Korea scientists have discovered that the universe’s expansion may be slowing down rather than speeding up The findings - if credible - could cast on Albert Einstein’s ‘cosmic constant’ theory that ‘dark energy’ is driving distant galaxies away at an increasing speed Carlos Frenk, a cosmologist at the University of Durham, has the story…
The history of the Human Genome Project | Interviews And we started with these simple organisms, worms and flies Chris - Did we have the technology then in the early 90s to read a genome end-to-end like that, like you would pick up a book and just pick your way through all the letters and the words? Or did that take a step forward in technology to even make people begin to conceive of doing that?
