    Wikipedia Reader https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora Selected by Julie Madsen - Entry 10 1 Aurora From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia An aurora, sometimes referred to as a polar lights or north- ern lights, is a natural light display in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions.[1] Au- roras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (ther- mosphere/exosphere), where their energy is lost. The resulting ion- ization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying color and complexity. The form of the aurora, occur- ring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating parti- cles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere. Proton Images of auroras from around the world, auroras are usually observed at including those with rarer red and blue lower latitudes.[2] lights Wikipedia Reader 2 May 1 2017 Contents 1 Occurrence of terrestrial auroras 1.1 Images 1.2 Visual forms and colors 1.3 Other auroral radiation 1.4 Aurora noise 2 Causes of auroras 2.1 Auroral particles 2.2 Auroras and the atmosphere 2.3 Auroras and the ionosphere 3 Interaction of the solar wind with Earth 3.1 Magnetosphere 4 Auroral particle acceleration 5 Auroral events of historical significance 6 Historical theories, superstition and mythology 7 Non-terrestrial auroras 8 See also 9 Notes 10 References 11 Further reading 12 External links Occurrence of terrestrial auroras Most auroras occur in a band known as the auroral zone,[3] which is typically 3° to 6° wide in latitude and between 10° and 20° from the geomagnetic poles at all local times (or longitudes), most clearly seen at night against a dark sky.

The two highlights of this lot are: Moore’s single-spaced, five-page typed memoir vividly detailing his combat experiences as a sergeant in the 2nd Cavalry Regiment between 1869-1873 during the Indian Wars in Utah and the Yellowstone-Stillwater Region of Wyoming and Montana and His 1881 handwritten daily-diary kept while leading one of the last wagon trains up the Montana Trail from Salt Lake City, Utah to Bozeman, Montana.

  • Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries
    Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries Kelly M. Kistner A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Gary G. Hamilton, Chair Steven Pfaff Katherine Stovel Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Sociology ©Copyright 2014 Kelly M. Kistner University of Washington Abstract Organizing Knowledge: Comparative Structures of Intersubjectivity in Nineteenth-Century Historical Dictionaries Kelly Kistner Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Gary G. Hamilton Sociology Between 1838 and 1857 language scholars throughout Europe were inspired to create a new kind of dictionary. Deemed historical dictionaries, their projects took an unprecedented leap in style and scale from earlier forms of lexicography. These lexicographers each sought to compile historical inventories of their national languages and were inspired by the new scientific approach of comparative philology. For them, this science promised a means to illuminate general processes of social change and variation, as well as the linguistic foundations for cultural and national unity. This study examines two such projects: The German Dictionary, Deutsches Worterbuch, of the Grimm Brothers, and what became the Oxford English Dictionary. Both works utilized collaborative models of large-scale, long-term production, yet the content of the dictionaries would differ in remarkable ways. The German dictionary would be characterized by its lack of definitions of meaning, its eclectic treatment of entries, rich analytical prose, and self- referential discourse; whereas the English dictionary would feature succinct, standardized, and impersonal entries. Using primary source materials, this research investigates why the dictionaries came to differ.

Begun in England 150 years ago, it took more than 60 years to complete, and when it was finally finished in 1928, the British prime minister heralded it as a ‘national treasure’. It maintained this image throughout the twentieth century, and in 2006 the English public voted it an ‘Icon of England’, alongside Marmite, Buckingham Palace, and the bowler hat. But this book shows that the dictionary is not as ‘British’ as we all thought. The linguist and lexicographer, Sarah Ogilvie, combines her insider knowledge and experience with impeccable research to show that the OED is in fact an international product in both its content and its making. She examines the policies and practices of the various editors, applies qualitative and quantitative analysis, and finds new OED archival materials in the form of letters, reports, and proofs. She demonstrates that the OED,in its use of readers from all over the world and its coverage of World English, is in fact a global text. sarah ogilvie is Director of the Australian National Dictionary Centre, Reader in Linguistics at the Australian National University, and Chief Editor of Oxford Dictionaries, Australia.

The solar wind and its associated magnetic field have their source in the Sun and their interaction with the geo-magnetic field which extends into outer space has its origin inside the earth’s core. Needless to say, the contributions of many scientific researchers on the dynamics of upper, middle and lower atmospheres of the earth is really outstanding and remarkable, but certain important aspects appear to have been missed.

But maybe you didn’t know – until now – about that meteor shower’s connection to the family for whom Olmsted Falls and Olmsted Township, as well as North Olmsted, are named. Meteor showers occur when the Earth, in its orbit around the sun, encounters streams of particles. Those particles are left in the wake of comets in their trips from the edges of the solar system to close passes by the sun and then back to the outer realms. The Earth experiences several meteor showers of varied intensity each year. One of the best- known meteor showers is the Perseids, partly because they reliably provide an average of about one meteor each minute at their peak. It’s also partly because they occur in mid-August, when the weather is warm enough that it is comfortable for observers to stay outside for long periods NASA released this photo of the Leonids as in the middle of the night.
