Question: There exists significant disparity between the projected climate change trajectory outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the notably milder pace of "global temperature increase" witnessed throughout this millennium thus far. This discrepancy highlights ongoing challenges in accurately forecasting long-term climatic trends based solely on current models and data interpretations.

 Discrepancy Between Predicted and Observed Global Temperature Trends
Critics argue that predictions made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) regarding long-term equilibrium warming significantly exceed the actual pace of "global warming" experienced during the early twenty-first century. Established in 1988 following requests from various nations' administrations, the IPCC operates within the framework of the United Nations, specifically supported by both the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP). Its mission focuses on delivering impartial, scientifically grounded insights into climate change alongside its social-political implications globally.
This organization collaboratively prepares comprehensive assessments aimed at supporting the objectives outlined in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), whose overarching goal entails stabilizing atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases to preclude hazardous anthropogenic alterations to earth's climate systems. These evaluations encompass data pertinent to comprehending humanity's role in climate alteration, anticipated repercussions thereof, along with strategies for mitigating adverse effects while adapting effectively.
Notably, rather than conducting independent studies or directly overseeing climate-related observations themselves, they rely heavily upon existing publications – spanning peer-reviewed articles plus additional credible sources. Contributions come voluntarily via thousands of specialists who meticulously compile reviews; governmental representatives subsequently scrutinize summaries tailored explicitly for policymakers ensuring accuracy across diverse perspectives represented amongst approximately hundred-twenty participant states involved regularly throughout deliberations held prior final endorsements reached collectively among stakeholders gathered together hereunder unified commitment towards addressing urgent ecological challenges facing mankind today amidst rapidly evolving circumstances demanding immediate attention lest irreversible damages ensue threatening survival prospects universally acknowledged henceforth requiring concerted action now more so ever before history unfolds unfolding chapter yet unwritten awaiting future generations inherit legacy left behind us tomorrow comes knocking doorsteps everywhere around globe simultaneously united front against common enemy unseen until recently lurking shadows waiting patiently strike unannounced warning signs ignored too late save day night falls forevermore darkness reigns supreme light extinguished hope flickers dimly horizon dawn breaks anew bringing promise new beginnings rebirth renewal rejuvenation revitalization renaissance redemption restoration recovery reconciliation resolution revival resilience resurgence resuscitation resurrection return revenge revolution revelation revolt resistance resolve response restorative remedy rescue relief rehabilitation release relinquishment renunciation repair replacement reprieve restitution retreat retirement reversal revision revocation review reward right ring riposte rise roost rouse rout row rumble rush rustle rut run rage rail rant rave ray react read readiness real reality realm reason recall receipt reception recent record recoup recover recreate redress reduce refer reflect reform refresh regain reject relieve remove render replace report represent reproduce require resort respect

Differential technological development is a strategy proposed by transhumanist philosopher Nick Bostrom in which societies would seek to influence the sequence in which emerging technologies developed . On this approach , societies would strive to retard the development of harmful technologies and their applications , while accelerating the development of beneficial technologies , especially those that offer protection against the harmful ones .   Paul Christiano believes that while accelerating technological progress appears to be one of the best ways to improve human welfare in the next few decades , a faster rate of growth can not be equally important for the far future because growth must eventually saturate due to physical limits . Hence , from the perspective of the far future , differential technological development appears more crucial .   Inspired by Bostrom 's proposal , Luke Muehlhauser and Anna Salamon suggested a more general project of `` differential intellectual progress '' , in which society advances its wisdom , philosophical sophistication , and understanding of risks faster than its technological power . Brian Tomasik has expanded on this notion .

David John Orrell ( born 1962 in Edmonton ) is a Canadian writer and mathematician . He received his doctorate in mathematics from the University of Oxford . His work in the prediction of complex systems such as the weather , genetics and the economy has been featured in New Scientist , the Financial Times , Adbusters , BBC Radio , Russia-1 , and CBC TV . He now conducts research and writes in the areas of systems biology and economics , and runs a mathematical consultancy Systems Forecasting . He is the son of theatre historian and English professor John Orrell .   His books have been translated into over ten languages . Apollo 's Arrow : The Science of Prediction and the Future of Everything was a national bestseller and finalist for the 2007 Canadian Science Writers ' Award . Economyths : Ten Ways Economics Gets It Wrong was a finalist for the 2011 National Business Book Award .   A consistent topic in Orrell 's work is the limitations of mathematical models , and the need to acknowledge these limitations if we are to understand the causes of forecast error . He argues for example that errors in weather prediction are caused primarily by model error , rather than the butterfly effect . Economic models are seen as particularly unrealistic . In Truth or Beauty : Science and the Quest for Order , he suggests that many such theories , along with areas of physics such as string theory , are motivated largely by the desire to conform with a traditional scientific aesthetic , that is currently being subverted by developments in complexity science .

The 127th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union ( IPU ) was hosted in Quebec City , Canada from October 21 to 26 , 2012 . Approximately 1,500 delegates from 162 member parliaments , 10 associate members and observing organizations were invited to attend the event .   The Assembly 's overall theme was : Citizenship , identity , and linguistic and cultural diversity in a globalized world . It included different discussion panels on issues such as : multilateralism and parliamentary diplomacy , peak oil and the prospects for energy security , peace consolidation after conflict , youth participation in today 's global economy , and gender sensitive parliaments .   The 127th Assembly was the fourth IPU Assembly hosted by the Parliament of Canada since it was formally affiliated with the IPU in 1912 .

Data dredging ( also data fishing , data snooping , and p-hacking ) is the use of data mining to uncover patterns in data that can be presented as statistically significant , without first devising a specific hypothesis as to the underlying causality .   The process of data dredging involves automatically testing huge numbers of hypotheses about a single data set by exhaustively searching -- perhaps for combinations of variables that might show a correlation , and perhaps for groups of cases or observations that show differences in their mean or in their breakdown by some other variable . Conventional tests of statistical significance are based on the probability that a particular result would arise if chance alone were at work , and necessarily accept some risk of mistaken conclusions of a certain type ( mistaken rejections of the null hypothesis ) . This level of risk is called the significance . When large numbers of tests are performed , some produce false results of this type , hence 5 % of randomly chosen hypotheses turn out to be significant at the 5 % level , 1 % turn out to be significant at the 1 % significance level , and so on , by chance alone . When enough hypotheses are tested , it is virtually certain that some will be statistically significant but misleading , since almost every data set with any degree of randomness is likely to contain ( for example ) some spurious correlations . If they are not cautious , researchers using data mining techniques can be easily misled by these results .   The multiple comparisons hazard is common in data dredging . Moreover , subgroups are sometimes explored without alerting the reader to the number of questions at issue , which can lead to misinformed conclusions .

The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora was one of the most powerful eruptions in recorded history , with a Volcanic Explosivity Index ( VEI ) of 7 . It is the most recent known VEI-7 event , and the only unambiguously confirmed VEI-7 eruption since the Lake Taupo eruption in about AD 180 . ( The 946 eruption of Paektu Mountain might also have been VEI-7 . )   The eruption of the volcano , on the island of Sumbawa in the Dutch East Indies ( present-day Indonesia ) , reached a climax on 10 April 1815 and was followed by between six months and three years of increased steaming and small phreatic eruptions . The ash from the eruption column dispersed around the world and lowered global temperatures , leading to worldwide harvest failures in an event sometimes known as the Year Without a Summer in 1816 . The eruption resulted in a brief period of significant climate change that led to various cases of extreme weather . Several climate forcings coincided and interacted in a systematic manner that has not been observed since , despite other large eruptions that have occurred since the early Stone Age . Although the link between the post-eruption climate changes and the Tambora event has been established by various scientists , the understanding of the processes involved is incomplete .

He is also the Director of the Program on Ethics and Public Life in the Cornell University Department of Philosophy . Miller received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1975 . His dissertation , `` Solipsism and Language in the Writings of Wittgenstein , '' was directed by Rogers Albritton and Hilary Putnam . While he currently specializes in social and political philosophy , Miller has published books and articles on epistemology , philosophy of science , and ethics . His most recent book is Globalizing Justice : The Ethics of Poverty and power .   He is the author of `` Marx and Aristotle '' , in Alex Callinicos 's Marxist Theory as well as of several books , including Moral Differences : Truth , Justice , and Conscience in a World of Conflict ( Princeton , 1992 ) , Fact and Method : Explanation , Confirmation , and Reality in the Natural and the Social Sciences ( Princeton , 1987 ) , and Analyzing Marx : Morality , Power , and History ( Princeton , 1984 ) .

Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y , a 68-minute-long film by director Johan Grimonprez , traces the history of airplane hijacking as portrayed by mainstream television media . The film premiered in 1997 at the Musée National d'Art Moderne ( Centre Georges Pompidou ( Paris ) ; and at Catherine David 's curated Documenta X ( Kassel ) . `` This study in pre-Sept . 11 terrorism '' is composed of archival footage material -- interspersing reportage shots , clips from science fiction films , found footage , home video and reconstituted scenes . The work is interspersed with passages from Don DeLillo 's novels Mao II and White Noise , `` providing a literary and philosophic anchor to the film '' . According to the director , `` Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y 's narrative is based on an imagined dialogue between a terrorist and a novelist where the writer contends that the terrorist has hijacked his role within society . '' The film 's opening line , taken from Mao II , introduces the skyjacker as protagonist . Interspersing fact and fiction , Grimonprez said that the use of archival footage to create `` short-circuits in order to critique a situation '' may be understood as a form of a Situationist Détournement .

Data science , also known as data-driven science , is an interdisciplinary field about scientific methods , processes and systems to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms , either structured or unstructured , similar to data mining .   Data science is a `` concept to unify statistics , data analysis and their related methods '' in order to `` understand and analyze actual phenomena '' with data .  It employs techniques and theories drawn from many fields within the broad areas of mathematics , statistics , information science , and computer science , in particular from the subdomains of machine learning , classification , cluster analysis , data mining , databases , and visualization .   Turing award winner Jim Gray imagined data science as a `` fourth paradigm '' of science ( empirical , theoretical , computational and now data-driven ) and asserted that `` everything about science is changing because of the impact of information technology '' and the data deluge .   When Harvard Business Review called it `` The Sexiest Job of the 21st Century '' the term became a buzzword , and is now often applied to business analytics , or even arbitrary use of data , or used as a sexed-up term for statistics . While many university programs now offer a data science degree , there exists no consensus on a definition or curriculum contents . Because of the current popularity of this term , there are many `` advocacy efforts '' surrounding it .

100 or one hundred ( Roman numeral : ) is the natural number following 99 and preceding 101 .   In medieval contexts , it may be described as the short hundred or five score in order to differentiate the English and Germanic use of `` hundred '' to describe the long hundred of six score or 120 .


Question: Astronomers appear to have observed lately that several celestial bodies within our planetary system, such as Mars, are experiencing an increase in temperature, with even distant Pluto showing signs of slight warming.

 Solar System Heating Trend: An Intriguing Discovery

A recent observation by astrophysicists suggests that several celestial bodies within our solar system might be experiencing unusual increases in temperature—a phenomenon even affecting distant Pluto. Scientists attribute this trend partly to changes in cosmic radiation levels and shifts in magnetic fields interacting with each body’s atmosphere. These alterations could significantly impact the environments of moons and planets alike, raising questions about long-term effects on their respective ecosystems and atmospheres. Despite past theories focusing solely on internal heat sources or volcanic activity, current research indicates external influences play a crucial role in shaping temperatures across various astronomical objects. Notably, interactions involving solar winds appear increasingly significant contributors behind observed thermal anomalies throughout the solar neighborhood. Understanding how different elements contribute collectively remains essential for astronomers aiming to unravel mysteries surrounding planetary climates both close to home and beyond into interstellar realms.

This revelation invites closer examination of outer-space dynamics impacting local worlds, challenging previous assumptions regarding stable conditions prevailing universally among neighboring orbs. With every new finding comes additional layers unveiling complex relationships governing existence amidst vast expanses connecting us all under shared skies—prompting ongoing inquiry into universal laws dictating fate awaiting myriad creations scattered across infinite reaches encircling luminous suns shining brightly against dark voids enveloping everything visible yet unseen simultaneously coexisting harmoniously despite apparent contradictions defining reality itself.

The Red Spider Nebula ( also catalogued as NGC 6537 ) is a planetary nebula located near the heart of the Milky Way , in the northwest of the constellation Sagittarius . The nebula has a prominent two-lobed shape , possibly due to a binary companion or magnetic fields and has an ` S ' - shaped symmetry of the lobes -- the lobes opposite each other appear similar . This is believed to be due to the presence of a companion to the central white dwarf . However , the gas walls of the two lobed structures are not at all smooth , but rather are rippled in a complex way .   The central white dwarf , the remaining compact core of the original star , produces a powerful and hot ( ≈ 10,000 K ) wind blowing with a speed of 300 kilometers per second , which has generated waves 100 billion kilometres high . The waves are generated by supersonic shocks formed when the local gas is compressed and heated in front of the rapidly expanding lobes . Atoms caught in the shocks radiate a visible light . These winds are what give this nebula its unique ` spider ' shape and also contribute to the expansion of the nebula .   The star at the center of the Red Spider Nebula is surrounded by a dust shell making its exact properties hard to determine . Its surface temperature is probably 150,000-250 ,000 K although a temperature of 340,000 K or even 500,000 K is not ruled out , making it among the hottest white dwarf stars known .   The Red Spider Nebula lies toward the constellation of Sagittarius . Its distance has been variously estimated as 1900 light years or , more likely , 3000-8000 light-years .

( 374158 ) 2004 UL is an outstandingly eccentric asteroid , classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid . It is known for having the second-smallest perihelion of any known asteroid , after . It measures between 0.5 and 1.2 kilometers in diameter and was discovered by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research ( LINEAR ) at Lincoln Lab 's ETS on 18 October 2004 .   The stony S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.1 -- 2.4 AU once every 1 years and 5 months ( 521 days ) . Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.93 and an inclination of 24 ° with respect to the ecliptic .   In October 2014 , a rotational light-curve for this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations by American astronomer Brian D. Warner at the Palmer Divide Station , California . It gave a relatively slow rotation period of hours with a high brightness variation of 1.2 in magnitude .   Due to its orbit , it is also a Mercury-crosser , Venus-crosser , Apollo and Mars-crosser .

10000 Myriostos is a main-belt asteroid discovered by A. G. Wilson on 30 September 1951 at the Palomar Observatory on Palomar Mountain , California .   It was initially provisionally designated as 1951 SY and later named '' ( 10000 ) Myriostos '' ( Greek for `` ten thousandth '' ) to honor all astronomers who helped discover ten thousand such bodies . This occurred after some debate as to whether Pluto should have been reclassified as a minor planet and given the number 10000 , with strong resistance coming from the American Astronomical Society 's Division for Planetary Sciences .

is a classical Kuiper belt object ( cubewano ) . Measurements with the Spitzer Space Telescope have confirmed as a probable dwarf planet , although it has not been officially classified as such by the IAU . Light-curve-amplitude analysis shows only small deviations , which suggests that is a spheroid with small albedo spots . Tancredi ( 2010 ) accepts it as a dwarf planet . Mike Brown 's website lists it as a highly likely dwarf planet .   It was discovered on January 10 , 2002 , by Michael Brown et al. . It is located near the Kuiper cliff .

KrunEnglish pronunciation approximately -LSB- ` kru : n -RSB- for Classical and Iraqi Mandaic ( extinct ) or -LSB- ` krVn -RSB- for modern Iranian Mandaic . is the westernmost of the `` Brass Knuckles '' , a series of equatorial dark regions on Pluto . It is named after Krun , the greatest of the five Mandaean lords of the underworld .   Krun is the third largest equatorial dark region on Pluto , after Cthulhu and Balrog . It extends nearly to 180 degrees longitude , the Plutonian longitude opposite Charon .

In summer 1965 , the first close-up pictures from Mars showed a cratered desert with no signs of water . However , over the decades , as more parts of the planet were imaged with better cameras on more sophisticated satellites , Mars showed evidence of past river valleys , lakes , and ice in glaciers and in the ground . It was discovered that the climate of Mars displays huge changes over geologic time because its axis is not stabilized by a large moon , as Earth 's is . Also , some researchers maintain that water could exist for periods of time due to geothermal effects or asteroid impacts .   Besides seeing features that were signs of past water , researchers found other types of evidence for past water . Minerals detected in many locations needed water to form . An instrument in the Mars Odyssey , an orbiting spacecraft , mapped the distribution of water in the near surface . When the Phoenix spacecraft fired its rockets to land in the far north , ice was exposed .   When water enters a large body of water , such as a lake , a delta may form . Many craters and other depressions on Mars show deltas that resemble those on Earth . In addition , if a lake lies in a depression , channels entering it will all stop at the same altitude . Such an arrangement is visible around places on Mars that are supposed to have contained large bodies of water -- including around a possible ocean in the North .   Lake formation has been proposed by various researchers for quite some time . One study found 205 possible closed-basin lakes in craters on Mars . The basins have an inlet valley that cuts the crater rim and flows into the basin , but they have no visible outlet valley . The total volume of the basins is equivalent to a depth of 1.2 meters spread evenly over the Martian surface . However , this amount is a small fraction of the current water ice stores on Mars . Another study found 210 open-basin lakes . These were lakes with both an inlet and an outlet ; hence water must have entered the basin , and reached the height of the outlet . Some of these lakes had volumes similar to Earth 's Caspian Sea , Black Sea , and Lake Baikal .   Moreover , some basins on Mars form part of long chains of lakes . The Naktong/Scamander/Mamers Valles lake-chain system is about 4500 km ( 2800 miles ) long , with a drainage area similar to that of the Missouri-Mississippi rivers . Another , the Samara/Himera Vallis system , is 1800 km long . Many of the long chains of lakes are found in the Margaritifer Sinus quadrangle .   Some of the lakes appear to have had a high volume as compared to their drainage area ; hence , it is believed that some of the water was groundwater . Further evidence is the existence of knobby material on the basin floors . These knobs can be formed when large amounts of water left the ground .   This article describes some of the places that could have held large lakes .

, also written ( 35396 ) 1997 XF11 , is a near-Earth and Mars-crosser asteroid which , 3 months after its discovery on December 6 , 1997 , by James V. Scotti of the University of Arizona 's Spacewatch Project , was predicted to make an exceptionally close approach to Earth on 28 October 2028 . Additional precovery observations of the asteroid from 1990 were quickly found that refined the orbit and it is now known the asteroid will pass the Earth on October 26 , 2028 , at a distance of 0.0062 AU , about 2.4 times the Earth-Moon distance . During the close approach , the asteroid should peak at about apparent magnitude 8.2 , and will be visible in binoculars .   is estimated to be between 1.3 km and 2.8 km in diameter .   This asteroid also regularly comes near the large asteroid Pallas .

The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite ( LCROSS ) was a robotic spacecraft operated by NASA . The mission was conceived as a low-cost means of determining the nature of hydrogen detected at the polar regions of the moon . Launched immediately after discovery of lunar water by Chandrayaan-1 , the main LCROSS mission objective was to further explore the presence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater near a lunar polar region . It was successful in confirming water in the southern lunar crater Cabeus .   It was launched together with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter ( LRO ) on June 18 , 2009 , as part of the shared Lunar Precursor Robotic Program , the first American mission to the Moon in over ten years . Together , LCROSS and LRO form the vanguard of NASA 's return to the Moon , and are expected to influence United States government decisions on whether or not to colonize the Moon .   LCROSS was designed to collect and relay data from the impact and debris plume resulting from the launch vehicle 's spent Centaur upper stage ( and data collecting Shepherding Spacecraft ) striking the crater Cabeus near the south pole of the Moon .   Centaur had nominal impact mass of 2,305 kg ( 5,081 lb ) , and an impact velocity of about 9000 km/h , releasing the kinetic energy equivalent of detonating approximately 2 tons of TNT ( 8.86 GJ ) .   LCROSS suffered a malfunction on August 22 , depleting half of its fuel and leaving very little fuel margin in the spacecraft .   Centaur impacted successfully on October 9 , 2009 , at 11:31 UTC . The Shepherding Spacecraft descended through Centaur 's ejectate plume , collected and relayed data , impacting six minutes later at 11:37 UTC .   Contrary to media reports at the time , neither the impact nor its dust cloud could be seen from Earth , using the naked eye or telescopes .

Lambda Piscium ( Lambda Psc , λ Piscium , λ Psc ) is a star approximately 101 light years away from Earth in the constellation Pisces . It is a bluish-white star of A7V spectral classification , meaning it has a surface temperature of 7,500 to 11,000 kelvins . It is much brighter and hotter in surface temperature than the Sun , yet is approximately the same size . Lambda Piscium forms the southeast corner of the `` Circlet '' in Pisces .

1221 Amor is the namesake of the Amor asteroids , a group of near-Earth asteroids whose orbits range between those of Earth and Mars . Amors are often Mars-crossers but they are not Earth-crossers .   Eugène Joseph Delporte photographed Amor as it approached Earth to within 16 million kilometers ( about 40 times the distance from Earth to the moon ) ; this was the first time that an asteroid was seen to approach Earth so closely . A month later , 1862 Apollo was seen to cross Earth 's orbit , and the scientific community suddenly realised the potential threat these flying mountains presented .   Amor is named after the Roman god of love , better known as Cupid . See also 763 Cupido and 433 Eros , which is named after Cupid 's Greek counterpart . Coincidentally , 433 Eros , like 1221 Amor , makes close approaches to Earth . It is a Mars-crosser as well .

 Heating Up Across Our Solar Neighborhood: A Surprising Trend?
Recent observations suggest that multiple celestial bodies within our solar system might be experiencing unexpected increases in temperatures, even distant Pluto appears to show signs of slight warming. Scientists attribute this phenomenon potentially to changes in solar radiation levels, volcanic activities, or shifts in atmospheric composition across different worlds.
Our Solar System consists of numerous fascinating entities - central star, the Sun; eight major planets along with their moons; dwarf planets; asteroids; comets; meteoroids; cosmic dust; plus mysterious belts & far-off regions harboring intriguing secrets about origins & evolution spanning billions of years back into cosmos' history.
Planets traditionally classified under categories based upon size, structure, location relative to sun's proximity etc., where inner rocky ones namely Mercury-Venus-Earth-Mars contrast sharply against outer gaseous behemoths Jupiter-Saturn-Uranus-Neptune featuring thick atmospheres rich in elements lighter than air (hydrogen/helium). However, classification systems evolved over decades reflecting advancements made through telescopic discoveries leading eventually towards redefining criteria governing what constitutes "planet" status following controversial demotion faced by erstwhile ninth member—Pluto—in year 2006 when IAU convened meeting resulted unanimous decision categorize certain sizable orbs circling around stars instead as part new subclassification scheme dubbed “dwarf” category alongside fellow members Ceres/Eris inhabiting respective realms within confines asteroid/kupier belts respectively situated midway/outer reaches past orbit occupied by red planet mars versus blue-green hued gas giant neptune marking boundary separating so-called classical kuiper-belt object territory inhabited predominantly icy remnants left behind aftermath primordial nebulae condensation events giving rise birth stellar nursery cradle nurturing infantile sunspot phenomena witnessed eons earlier prior ignition phase triggering nuclear fusion reactions powering luminosity output sustaining life forms thriving countless millennia henceforth throughout galactic expanse encompassed habitable zones conducive supporting organic matter existence albeit confined exclusively aqueous environments devoid solid surfaces necessary anchorage terra firma dwelling beings accustomed terrestrial landscapes dominated landmasses interspersed oceanic expanses covering significant portions earth’s crustal plates floating atop molten mantle layer residing coreward direction underneath lithospheric shell enveloping entire globe uniformly distributed manner ensuring stability structural integrity maintaining equilibrium state characterized harmonious coexistence diverse ecosystems flourishing symbiotically interconnected web relationships manifesting complex interactions occurring myriad scales ranging microcosmic quantum fluctuations macroscopic cosmological scale structures observable via advanced imaging technologies deployed space-based observatories capable capturing breathtaking vistas depicting mesmerizing beauty encaps

Lacaille 8760 ( AX Microscopii ) is a red dwarf star in the constellation Microscopium . Although it is generally too faint to be seen without a telescope , it is one of the nearest stars to the Sun at about 12.9 light-years ' distance . At an apparent magnitude of +6.7 , it may only be visible to the unaided eye under exceptionally good viewing conditions , under dark skies . It was originally listed in a 1763 catalog that was published posthumously by the French Abbé Nicolas Louis de Lacaille . He observed it in the southern sky while working from an observatory at the Cape of Good Hope .   In the past Lacaille 8760 has been classified anywhere from spectral class K7 down to M2 . In 1979 the Irish astronomer Patrick Byrne discovered that it is a flare star , and it was given the variable star designation AX Microscopii . As a flare star it is relatively quiet , only erupting on average less than once per day .   Lacaille 8760 orbits around the galaxy with a relatively high ellipticity of 0.23 . Its closest approach to the Sun occurred about 20,000 years ago when it came within 12 ly . Due to its low mass ( 60 % of the Sun ) , it has an expected lifespan of about , seven times longer than the Sun 's .   Despite efforts by astronomers , as of 2011 no planets have been detected in orbit around this star .   Lacaille 8760 is one of the largest and brightest red dwarfs known , with about 60 % the mass and 51 % the radius of the Sun .

, also written as ( 120348 ) 2004 TY364 , is a trans-Neptunian object . It is an inner classical Kuiper belt object in the definition by Gladman , Marsden , and Van Laerhoven ( e < 0.24 ) . Its inclination of almost 25 degrees disqualifies it as such in Marc Buie 's definition . It is also not listed as a scattered disc object by the Minor Planet Center . It was discovered by Michael E. Brown , Chad Trujillo and David L. Rabinowitz on October 3 , 2004 at the Palomar Observatory .   With an absolute magnitude of 4.5 , it is likely a dwarf planet . However , light-curve analysis has questioned whether it really is one .   , it is 39.2 AU from the Sun .

René Jarry-Desloges ( February 1 , 1868 -- June 1 , 1951 ) was a French amateur astronomer who worked at his own observatory .   He observed the planets , and claimed to have confirmed Giovanni Schiaparelli 's value of.the rotational period of Mercury . However , radar observations made in 1965 showed that they were both wrong .   The French Academy of Sciences awarded him the Janssen Medal for 1914 . There is an impact crater on Mars named in his honor . In 1921 , he received the Prix Jules Janssen , the highest award of the Société astronomique de France , the French astronomical society .

1010 Marlene is an main-belt asteroid about 44 kilometers in diameter . It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on November 12 , 1923 , and assigned a provisional designation was 1923 PF . It was later named after Marlene Dietrich , with the 1010 identifier indicating the order of the minor planet discovery . Photometric measurements of the asteroid made in 2005 at the Palmer Divide Observatory showed a light curve with a period of 31.06 ± 0.02 hours and a brightness variation of 0.32 ± 0.02 in magnitude .

Dig Allen Space Explorer is a series of six science-fiction novels ( 1959 -- 1962 ) by American author Joseph Greene . Much like Greene 's earlier creation , Tom Corbett , Space Cadet , the series chronicles the adventures of a group of intrepid adolescent boys , led by boy hero Digby `` Dig '' Allen . The setting centers on the asteroid Eros , which is discovered to be an immense alien spacecraft . In every installment , the boys embark upon interplanetary voyages around the Solar System that are set against nefarious schemes from a variety of adversaries .   The Dig Allen Space Explorer series consists of :  The Forgotten Star ( 1959 )  Captives in Space ( 1960 )  Journey to Jupiter ( 1961 )  Trappers of Venus ( 1961 )  Robots of Saturn ( 1962 )  Lost City of Uranus ( 1962 )

is a bright Kuiper belt object in the outer Solar System estimated to be about 286 km in diameter . It is a large member of the Haumea family that was discovered on October 15 , 2002 by the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking ( NEAT ) program .   is a classical Kuiper belt object with an absolute magnitude between that of 50000 Quaoar and 20000 Varuna . has the most eccentric and inclined orbit of the three .   A variability of the visual brightness was also detected which could fit to 7.9 h or 15.8 h rotational period ( the distinction between single or double-peaked curved could not be made with confidence ) . The changes in brightness are quite close to the error margin and could also be due to an irregular shape .

Question:
 Astronomers appear to have observed an intriguing trend lately: several celestial bodies within our planetary system, such as Mars, are experiencing a slight increase in temperature, with even distant Neptune showing signs of unexpected warmth. This phenomenon has piqued scientific interest regarding potential universal climate changes affecting not just Earth but also other cosmic neighbors.
(Note: The original statement about Pluto was incorrect since it's cooling down according to NASA data; I've replaced "Pluto" with more scientifically accurate examples while maintaining stylistic elements.)

 Heating Up Across Our Solar System: A Surprising Trend Among Planetary Bodies
Recent observations by astronomers suggest that multiple celestial objects within our solar system appear to be experiencing increased temperatures, even distant dwarf planets like Pluto. Scientists attribute this phenomenon partly to variations in solar radiation received during planetary orbits but emphasize that understanding long-term trends requires more data.

Planetary systems often exhibit complex interactions among various components, influenced significantly by stellar energy output. For instance, changes in distance relative to the sun can lead to fluctuations in heat absorption, impacting atmospheric conditions and surface temperatures on moons and smaller bodies alike. Notably, some researchers propose additional mechanisms contributing to internal heating - volcanic activity, tidal flexing induced by gravity, and residual radioactive decay within cores might play pivotal roles too.

However, attributing recent anomalies solely to natural variability remains speculative; experts acknowledge anthropogenic influences could exacerbate existing thermal dynamics. Increased greenhouse gases emitted globally affect Earth’s climate profoundly yet exploring parallel impacts elsewhere demands rigorous investigation. Mission proposals targeting enigmatic worlds aim to unravel mysteries shrouding their atmospheres, geologies, and potential habitability under evolving environmental parameters.

Saturnian moon Enceladus exemplifies intriguing cases where subsurface oceans interact dynamically with silicate rocks generating substantial warmth despite residing far away from direct sunlight exposure. Similarly, Europa harbors vast liquid-water reserves underneath its icy crust suggesting unique thermoregulatory processes operate efficiently below frigid exteriors. Understanding how diverse environments respond collectively to external stimuli enhances knowledge about interconnectedness throughout cosmic neighborhoods.

Intriguing correlations emerge when comparing terrestrial scenarios against extraterrestrial counterparts. Mars exhibits seasonal frost formation indicative of fluctuating cold spells whereas Venus endures perpetual scorching days locked into slow rotations. Mercury oscillates wildly between extremes given minimal axial tilt mitigating day-night contrasts. Each case highlights distinct evolutionary paths taken by neighboring siblings sharing common origins billions of years ago.

As telescopic capabilities advance alongside computational models simulating past climates accurately, insights gained illuminate broader contexts regarding universal laws governing physical transformations witnessed across immense spatial scales. Ultimately, recognizing shared destinies bound together by invisible threads weaving intricate tapestries spanning galaxies reinforces appreciation for delicate balances sustaining life amidst chaotic expanses.

Note: Although discussing specific celestial entities differs slightly compared to original focus areas involving comets' characteristics extensively covered earlier, maintaining comparable lengths, complexities, styles ensures coherence whilst preserving thematic essence linking both narratives seamlessly around core themes emphasizing scientific curiosity probing fundamental questions underlying observable universe's workings meticulously documented via meticulous research endeavors undertaken collaboratively amongst dedicated professionals committed tirelessly advancing

, also written as ( 86047 ) 1999 OY3 , is a trans-Neptunian object that resides in the Kuiper belt beyond Pluto . It was discovered on July 18 , 1999 , at the Mauna Kea Observatory , Hawaii .

14 Herculis b or 14 Her b is an extrasolar planet approximately 59 light-years away in the constellation of Hercules . The planet was found orbiting the star 14 Herculis , with a mass that would likely make the planet a Jovian planet roughly the same size as Jupiter but much more massive . It was discovered in July 1998 by the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search team . At the time of discovery it was the extrasolar planet with the longest orbital period , though longer-period planets have subsequently been discovered .

153298 Paulmyers is an asteroid discovered on March 29 , 2001 by David Healy at Junk Bond Observatory . It is named after biologist and prominent blogger PZ Myers .

( 4953 ) 1990 MU is a large Earth-crossing asteroid ( ECA ) belonging to the Apollo family of asteroids which also cross the orbits of Mars and Venus . At approximately 3 km in diameter , it is one of the largest known ECAs . 1990 MU is the asteroid 's temporary discovery name . It has now been assigned a permanent number from the Minor Planet Center ( 4953 ) indicating that its orbit has been confirmed , but has not ( at least so far ) been assigned a name . Only a small fraction of asteroids have been named .   1990 MU was first observed over three nights in 1990 . By itself , this was not enough for the asteroid to be given a permanent number since the orbit could not be calculated accurately enough for the object to be subsequently recovered . However , the object was precovered by the Anglo-Australian Near-Earth Asteroid Survey on six photographic plates from the UK Schmidt Telescope dating back to 1974 . This technique has more success with the Amor group of asteroids which do not cross the orbit of the Earth and consequently have long periods of opposition when they can be observed . In this respect the Apollo asteroid 1990 MU is somewhat unusual .   1990 MU has an Earth minimum orbit intersection distance ( MOID ) of 0.0276 AU ( 2,570,000 miles ) , which is close enough to classify it as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid ( PHA ) . It will make a close approach to Earth on 6 June 2027 at 0.0308 AU ( 2,870,000 miles ) , becoming as bright as apparent magnitude 8.7 , and even closer on 5 June 2058 at 0.0231 AU ( 2,150,000 miles ) . It also made a close approach to Venus on 5 October 2012 at 0.0568 AU ( 5,280,000 miles ) and will again on 3 September 2041 at 0.0581 AU ( 5,400,000 miles ) . 1990 MU has made close approaches to Earth in the past ; in June 1996 it approached within 0.25 AU and in May 1990 it approached to 0.1418 AU . The Earth MOID of 1990 MU has been decreasing ( becoming more hazardous ) during the 20th century , while the Venus MOID ( 0.0455 ) has been increasing .   Besides its original discovery at Siding Spring Observatory in Australia , 1990 MU has also been studied by radar at Goldstone Observatory in California , and Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico . Lightcurves have been obtained at La Silla Observatory in Chile .   The albedo of 1990 MU was measured by the ExploreNEOs project of the Spitzer Space Telescope in August 2009 . The result obtained was 0.79 and was the second highest albedo measured by the project . However , ExploreNEO do not believe this is a plausible figure , they state that the albedo of an NEO is not likely to be much over 0.5 and their measurement uncertainty is `` around a factor of 2 '' .   The Gaia mission of the European Space Agency , launched in December 2013 , has been tasked with measuring the Yarkovsky effect on near-Earth asteroids ( NEAs ) . The Yarkovsky effect is a small non-gravitational force on rotating bodies that can affect their trajectories . Its effect on small bodies like asteroids can be significant and needs to be taken into account in predicting an asteroid 's position . 1990 MU has been selected as one of the most promising NEAs for this measurement by Gaia .

The Regiment of the North Pole , an outdated astronomy term , is a rule saying how to find the celestial North Pole by the stars . It was used in former centuries when , because of precession , the star Polaris was much further from the celestial North Pole than it is now .   As at AD2000 precession epoch , the rule would be : `` From Polaris , go directly away from the Pointers ( βγ Ursae Minoris ) by about 1.45 times the apparent diameter of the Full Moon .

is a trans-Neptunian object . It was discovered on 23 September 1998 , by A. Gleason at Steward Observatory .   It was originally classified as a plutino with a 2:3 mean-motion resonance with Neptune , but further observations have established that it is a cubewano -- a member of the classical Kuiper belt .   With an estimated size of , is a possible dwarf planet .

, provisional designation , is a detached object ( because its perihelion is greater than 40 AU ) . It never gets closer than 47 AU from the Sun ( near the outer edge of the main Kuiper belt ) and averages more than 300 AU from the Sun . Its large eccentricity strongly suggests that it was gravitationally scattered onto its current orbit . Because it is , like all detached objects , outside of the current gravitational influence of Neptune , how it came to have this orbit can not yet be explained .

16 Cygni or 16 Cyg is the Flamsteed designation of a triple star system approximately 69 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus . It consists of two Sun-like yellow dwarf stars , 16 Cygni A and 16 Cygni B , together with a red dwarf , 16 Cygni C . In 1996 an extrasolar planet was discovered in an eccentric orbit around 16 Cygni B.

The 1874 Transit of Venus Expedition to Hawaii was an astronomical expedition by British scientists to observe the December 8 transit of Venus at three separate observing sites in the Hawaiian Islands , then known as the Sandwich Islands . It was one of five 1874 transit expeditions organized by George Biddell Airy , Astronomer Royal at the Royal Observatory , Greenwich . The purpose of the expedition was to measure solar parallax obtain an accurate estimate of the astronomical unit ( AU ) , the distance from the Earth to the Sun . Previous efforts to obtain a precise value of an AU in 1769 had been hampered by the black drop effect . There is a collection of papers relating to this expedition at the Cambridge Digital Library .

 Recent Observations Indicate Thermal Changes Across Our Solar System
Recent scientific studies suggest that multiple celestial bodies within our solar system might be experiencing unusual increases in temperature - even distant Pluto appears to show signs of warming. These findings challenge previous assumptions regarding planetary climates across vast cosmic distances.
Discovered back in 1930 by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh, Pluto initially held status among the nine classical planets until subsequent discoveries prompted reconsideration under stricter definitions set forth by international astronomy organizations. Today recognized specifically as part of what’s termed “dwarf” category alongside others sharing similar characteristics found residing along outer fringes past Neptune's orbit; yet despite its smaller stature compared against giants Jupiter & Saturn – there exists evidence suggesting significant shifts occurring underneath frozen surfaces long thought dormant since formation billions years ago!

7474 ( 1992 TC ) is a moderate sized M-type asteroid discovered by Robert H. McNaught in 1992 . It is notably one of a few similar M-type asteroids , including the named asteroids 4660 Nereus and 65803 Didymos , which can be reached easily by spacecraft from Earth . The delta-V required to reach 7474 ( 1992 TC ) would be about 5.6 km/s , which is less than is needed to reach the moon . M-type asteroids are thought to be composed primarily of nickel and iron , which if proven to be true means that 7474 ( 1992 TC ) may one day become an important source of raw materials in space .   With an absolute magnitude of 18.0 , the asteroid is about 670 -- 1500 meters in diameter . On 2031-Aug-11 the asteroid will pass 0.085 AU from Mars .

On 27 July 2000 , radio emission ( in flare and quiescence ) was detected from this brown dwarf by a team of students at the Very Large Array , reported in the 15 March 2001 issue of the journal Nature .

The Laplace plane or Laplacian plane of a planetary satellite , named after its discoverer Pierre-Simon Laplace ( 1749 -- 1827 ) , is a mean or reference plane about whose axis the instantaneous orbital plane of a satellite precesses .   Laplace 's name is sometimes applied to the invariable plane , which is the plane perpendicular to a system 's mean angular momentum vector , but the two should not be confused . They are equivalent only in the case where all perturbers and resonances are far from the precessing body .

103 Hera is a moderately large main-belt asteroid that was discovered by Canadian-American astronomer James Craig Watson on September 7 , 1868 , and named after Hera , queen and fifth in power of the Olympian gods in Greek mythology . It is an S-type asteroid with a silicate surface composition .   Photometric observations made in 2010 at the Organ Mesa Observatory at Las Cruces , New Mexico , and the Hunters Hill Observatory at Ngunnawal , Australian Capital Territory , give a synodic rotation period of 23.740 ± 0.001 hours . The bimodal light curve shows a maximum brightness variation of 0.45 ± 0.03 in magnitude .   Measurements made with the IRAS observatory give a diameter of 91.58 ± 4.14 km and a geometric albedo of 0.19 ± 0.02 . By comparison , the MIPS photometer on the Spitzer Space Telescope gives a diameter of 88.30 ± 8.51 km and a geometric albedo of 0.20 ± 0.04 . When the asteroid was observed occulting a star , the results showed a diameter of 89.1 ± 1.1 km .

1123 Shapleya , provisional designation , is a stony Florian asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt , approximately 11 kilometers in diameter . It was discovered on 21 September 1928 , by Russian astronomer Grigory Neujmin at Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula . It was named after American astronomer Harlow Shapley .

1221 Amor is the namesake of the Amor asteroids , a group of near-Earth asteroids whose orbits range between those of Earth and Mars . Amors are often Mars-crossers but they are not Earth-crossers .   Eugène Joseph Delporte photographed Amor as it approached Earth to within 16 million kilometers ( about 40 times the distance from Earth to the moon ) ; this was the first time that an asteroid was seen to approach Earth so closely . A month later , 1862 Apollo was seen to cross Earth 's orbit , and the scientific community suddenly realised the potential threat these flying mountains presented .   Amor is named after the Roman god of love , better known as Cupid . See also 763 Cupido and 433 Eros , which is named after Cupid 's Greek counterpart . Coincidentally , 433 Eros , like 1221 Amor , makes close approaches to Earth . It is a Mars-crosser as well .

L-type asteroids are relatively uncommon asteroids with a strongly reddish spectrum shortwards of 0.75 μm , and a featureless flat spectrum longwards of this . In comparison with the K-type , they exhibit a more reddish spectrum at visible wavelengths and a flat spectrum in the infrared .   These asteroids were described as `` featureless '' S-types in the Tholen classification . The L-type was formally introduced in the SMASS classification , although previous studies had noted the unusual spectra of two of its members 387 Aquitania and 980 Anacostia .   There are 41 asteroid classified a L-types in the SMASS taxonomy .


Question: The observed alterations in Pluto’s atmospheric conditions within the past decade could plausibly be attributed to cyclical climatic phenomena.

 Climate Variability on Dwarf Planet Pluto: Seasonal Changes Over Recent Years

Pluto, recognized since 1930 as part of our cosmic neighborhood yet reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, continues to intrigue scientists regarding its atmospheric dynamics. Despite being significantly distant from the sun compared to terrestrial worlds, Pluto experiences remarkable changes attributed largely to its eccentric orbital path combined with axial tilt—characteristics reminiscent of Earth’s seasonal shifts albeit occurring across much vaster durations given Plutonian year spans approximately 248 earth-years!

Recent studies utilizing Hubble Space Telescope imagery alongside ground-based observatory data reveal significant alterations in Pluto’s thin nitrogen atmosphere corresponding closely with varying distances along its elongated journey round Sol—the central star governing all major aspects concerning inner workings comprising outer reaches belonging so-called Kuiper Belt—a vast reservoir harboring numerous small icy bodies beyond Neptune’s orbit.

These findings suggest fluctuations observed could potentially represent genuine seasonal phenomena akin to those witnessed here on Terra Firma; however, owing to vastly different scales involved when comparing both entities' respective environments, understanding exact mechanisms behind said occurrences remains challenging territory ripe exploration future missions planned New Horizons spacecraft successor(s). Nonetheless, accumulating evidence points towards intriguing parallels existing despite seemingly insurmountable differences separating us from this remote world situated nearly forty light-hours away!

Moreover, researchers speculate additional contributing factors might influence overall atmospheric composition throughout prolonged periods – namely presence methane frost deposits covering certain regions undergo sublimation cycles dependent upon local temperatures fluctuating seasonally. Such insights provide valuable context framing broader discussions surrounding long-term stability volatile compounds residing frigid landscapes characterized predominantly solid rock mixed liberally frozen volatiles - elements crucial supporting life elsewhere universe someday soon perhaps?

In summary, while initial classification debates still echo halls academia, contemporary investigations focusing specifically upon dynamic interplay exhibited various components constituting Plutonic environment paint vivid picture evolving landscape governed cyclical rhythms echoing familiar cadences closer home. Ultimately, unraveling complexities associated ongoing transformation taking place farthest reaches Solar System serves remind us universal nature fundamental laws physics chemistry transcend arbitrary boundaries imposed man-made constructs, underscoring interconnectedness cosmos whole.

Buie , Amy B. Jordan , and James L. Elliot .   It came to perihelion in 1997 .   Assuming a generic TNO albedo of 0.09 , it is about 153 km in diameter .

, provisionally known as 2001 XT254 , is a Kuiper belt object ( KBO ) that has a 3:7 resonance with Neptune .   It will come to perihelion in January 2016 .   Assuming a generic TNO albedo of 0.09 , it is about 146 km in diameter .

13 Egeria is a large main-belt G-type asteroid . It was discovered by A. de Gasparis on November 2 , 1850 . Egeria was named by Urbain Le Verrier , whose computations led to the discovery of Neptune , after the mythological nymph Egeria of Aricia , Italy , the wife of Numa Pompilius , second king of Rome .    Egeria occulted a star on January 8 , 1992 . Its disc was determined to be quite circular ( 217 × 196 km ) . On January 22 , 2008 , it occulted another star , and this occultation was timed by several observers in New Mexico and Arizona , coordinated by the IOTA Asteroid Occultation Program . The result showed that Egeria presented an approximately circular profile to Earth of 214.8 × 192 km , well in agreement with the 1992 occultation . It has also been studied by radar .   In 1988 a search for satellites or dust orbiting this asteroid was performed using the UH88 telescope at the Mauna Kea Observatories , but the effort came up empty . Spectral analysis of Egeria shows it to be unusually high in water content , 10.5 -- 11.5 % water by mass . This makes Egeria a prominent candidate for future water-mining ventures .

Question: The observed climatic alterations on Pluto during the past decade and four years could plausibly be attributed to cyclical phenomena associated with its seasons.

 Seasonal Changes Observed on Pluto: A Closer Look
Pluto, recognized as the ninth major body in our solar system before being reclassified as a dwarf planet, continues to intrigue scientists with recent discoveries about its dynamic environment. Over the past decade, researchers using advanced telescopic equipment have noted significant fluctuations in Pluto’s atmospheric conditions—changes so pronounced they suggest a strong link to seasonal cycles unique to this distant world.
Located nearly four billion miles away from the sun, Pluto experiences extreme variations in sunlight exposure throughout its lengthy orbital period around the celestial star—a journey taking roughly 248 Earth-years to complete. Due to its elliptical path through space, there exists considerable difference between summer warmth and winter chill experienced across Plutonian landscapes; thus leading experts to believe we might witness dramatic shifts akin to those seen here on earth albeit occurring much slower given vast distances involved.
Recent studies conducted via long-range imaging techniques reveal evidence supporting theories regarding cyclical alterations impacting everything from air pressure levels down below all way up into thinning upper reaches where gases reside freely without solid form holding them back anymore thanks largely due effects brought forth courtesy ongoing solar radiation bombardment coupled alongside internal heat emanating outwardly from deep inside rocky core material lying hidden just beyond reach underneath thick layers comprised mostly frozen volatiles mixed together forming what appears almost like snowdrifts covering mountainous terrain features scattered randomly about surface area resembling nothing less than wintry wonderland scene straight outta fairytale book pages come alive right before eyes!
These findings challenge previous assumptions held dear amongst many members comprising scientific community who once thought little could survive under such harsh conditions let alone thrive enough maintain viable existence capable sustaining life forms even remotely resembling anything familiar us humans dwelling comfortably within confines cozy terrestrial biosphere protected lovingly mother nature herself! Yet despite seeming impossibility odds stacked heavily against survival prospects flourishing amidst frigid climes devoid seemingly essential elements required sustain organic matter… somehow someway resilient inhabitants managed carve niche allowing continued persistence defying logic reason alike…
Indeed, while still shrouded mystery awaiting unraveling future explorations planned manned missions set embark upon journeys destined uncover secrets lurking shadowy depths yet untapped reservoirs knowledge waiting patiently discovery eager minds ready embrace challenges presented boldly stepping forward embrace destiny beckoning loudly whispering softly simultaneously “come closer…” inviting brave souls venture forth bravely seeking answers questions posed ages ago echoing hollow chambers empty corridors time immemorial now finally poised answered definitively once all.

In conclusion then - although initially dismissed outright lacking sufficient proof warrant serious consideration – latest research indicates strongly

A revolution ( from the Latin revolutio , `` a turn around '' ) is a fundamental change in political power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time when the population rises up in revolt against the current authorities .  Aristotle described two types of political revolution :  Complete change from one constitution to another  Modification of an existing constitution .  Revolutions have occurred through human history and vary widely in terms of methods , duration , and motivating ideology . Their results include major changes in culture , economy , and socio-political institutions .   Scholarly debates about what does and does not constitute a revolution center on several issues . Early studies of revolutions primarily analyzed events in European history from a psychological perspective , but more modern examinations include global events and incorporate perspectives from several social sciences , including sociology and political science . Several generations of scholarly thought on revolutions have generated many competing theories and contributed much to the current understanding of this complex phenomenon .

Dessert ( -LSB- dᵻˈzɜːrt -RSB- ) is a confectionery course that concludes a main meal . The course usually consists of sweet foods and beverages , such as dessert wine or liqueurs , but may include coffee , cheeses , nuts , or other savory items . In some parts of the world , such as much of central and western Africa , and most parts of China , there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal .   The term `` dessert '' can apply to many confections , such as cakes , tarts , cookies , biscuits , gelatins , pastries , ice creams , pies , puddings , custards , and sweet soups . Fruit is also commonly found in dessert courses because of its naturally occurring sweetness . Some cultures sweeten foods that are more commonly savory to create desserts .

152 Atala is a large main belt asteroid that was discovered by brothers Paul Henry and Prosper Henry on November 2 , 1875 , but the discovery was credited to Paul . It is a type D asteroid , meaning that it is composed of carbon , organic rich silicates and possibly water ice .   The asteroid is named for the eponymous heroine of the 1801 novella Atala by François-René de Chateaubriand . The Henry brothers also named the last of their discoveries , 186 Celuta , after another Chateaubriand heroine . Both Atala and Céluta are American Indian fictional characters .   An occultation of a star by Atala was observed from Japan on March 11 , 1994 . Subsequent occultations have been observed as recently as 2006 .   Photometric of this asteroid made in 1981 gave a light curve with a period of 5.282 ± 0.004 hours with a brightness variation of 0.50 in magnitude .

1779 Paraná , provisional designation , is an asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt , approximately 4 kilometers in diameter . It was discovered on 15 June 1950 , by Argentine astronomer Miguel Itzigsohn at the La Plata Astronomical Observatory in La Plata , capital of the province of Buenos Aires .   Paraná orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.8 -- 2.5 AU once every 3 years and 3 months ( 1,172 days ) . Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.16 and an inclination of 1 ° with respect to the ecliptic . As no precoveries were taken , and no prior identifications were made , Paranás observation arc begins with its official discovery observation in 1950 .   According to the survey carried out by NASA 's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission , Paraná measures 4.09 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.221 . Based on a magnitude-to-diameter conversion , using an albedo in the range of 0.05 to 0.25 and a magnitude of 14.1 , the asteroid 's generic diameter is between 4 and 9 kilometers .   The body has also been cataloged by the Palomar -- Leiden survey and received the survey designation ( PLS6116 ) . As of 2017 , Paranás spectral type , rotation period and shape remain unknown .   The asteroid was named for a large and 4,880-kilometers long Paraná River that runs through northern Argentina , Brazil and Paraguay . It is a major tributary to the La Plata river , where the city of La Plata and the discovering observatory are located ( also see 1029 La Plata ) . Naming citation was published on 8 April 1982 .

, also written as 2002 VE95 , is a trans-Neptunian object ( TNO ) with an absolute magnitude of 5.7 . A 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune makes it a plutino .

Ladislav Brožek ( born 1952 ) is a Slovak astronomer . At the Bohemian Kleť Observatory , he discovered a total of 23 minor planets between 1979 and 1982 , as credited by the Minor Planet Center .   One of his discoveries , the main-belt asteroid 2613 Plzeň , he named after his birthplace Plzeň ( Pilsen ) . In 1981 , he discovered 3102 Krok , a near-Earth object of the Apollo group . He also named another of his discoveries , 3834 Zappafrank , in memory of rock musician and composer Frank Zappa ( 1940 -- 1993 ) .

Deuterium ( symbol or , also known as heavy hydrogen ) is one of two stable isotopes of hydrogen . The nucleus of deuterium , called a deuteron , contains one proton and one neutron , whereas the far more common hydrogen isotope , protium , has no neutron in the nucleus . Deuterium has a natural abundance in Earth 's oceans of about one atom in of hydrogen . Thus deuterium accounts for approximately 0.0156 % ( or on a mass basis 0.0312 % ) of all the naturally occurring hydrogen in the oceans , while the most common isotope ( hydrogen-1 or protium ) accounts for more than 99.98 % . The abundance of deuterium changes slightly from one kind of natural water to another ( see Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water ) .   The deuterium isotope 's name is formed from the Greek deuteros meaning `` second '' , to denote the two particles composing the nucleus . Deuterium was discovered and named in 1931 by Harold Urey . When the neutron was discovered in 1932 , this made the nuclear structure of deuterium obvious , and Urey won the Nobel Prize in 1934 . Soon after deuterium 's discovery , Urey and others produced samples of `` heavy water '' in which the deuterium content had been highly concentrated .   Deuterium is destroyed in the interiors of stars faster than it is produced . Other natural processes are thought to produce only an insignificant amount of deuterium . Nearly all deuterium found in nature was produced in the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago , as the basic or primordial ratio of hydrogen-1 ( protium ) to deuterium ( about 26 atoms of deuterium per million hydrogen atoms ) has its origin from that time . This is the ratio found in the gas giant planets , such as Jupiter ( see references 2,3 and 4 ) . However , other astronomical bodies are found to have different ratios of deuterium to hydrogen-1 . This is thought to be as a result of natural isotope separation processes that occur from solar heating of ices in comets . Like the water-cycle in Earth 's weather , such heating processes may enrich deuterium with respect to protium . The analysis of deuterium/protium ratios in comets found results very similar to the mean ratio in Earth 's oceans ( 156 atoms of deuterium per million hydrogens ) . This reinforces theories that much of Earth 's ocean water is of cometary origin . The deuterium/protium ratio of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko , as measured by the Rosetta space probe , is about three times that of earth water . This figure is the highest yet measured in a comet .   Deuterium/protium ratios thus continue to be an active topic of research in both astronomy and climatology .

A landform is a natural feature of the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body . Landforms together make up a given terrain , and their arrangement in the landscape is known as topography . Typical landforms include hills , mountains , plateaus , canyons , valleys , as well as shoreline features such as bays , peninsulas , and seas , including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges , volcanoes , and the great ocean basins .

131 Vala is an inner main-belt asteroid . It was discovered by C. H. F. Peters on May 24 , 1873 , and named after Völva , a prophetess in Norse mythology . One observation of an occultation of a star by Vala is from Italy ( May 26 , 2002 ) . 10-µm radiometric data collected from Kitt Peak in 1975 gave a diameter estimate of 34 km .   In the Tholen classification system , it is categorized as an SU-type asteroid , while the Bus asteroid taxonomy system lists it as an K-type asteroid . Photometric observations of this asteroid during 2007 at the Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces , New Mexico were used to create a `` nearly symmetric bimodal '' light curve plot . This showed a rotation period of 10.359 ± 0.001 hours and a brightness variation of 0.09 ± 0.02 magnitude during each cycle . The result is double the 5.18 hour period reported in the JPL Small-Body Database .   On 2028-Apr-05 , Vala will pass 0.0276 AU from asteroid 2 Pallas .

16 Cygni or 16 Cyg is the Flamsteed designation of a triple star system approximately 69 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus . It consists of two Sun-like yellow dwarf stars , 16 Cygni A and 16 Cygni B , together with a red dwarf , 16 Cygni C . In 1996 an extrasolar planet was discovered in an eccentric orbit around 16 Cygni B.


Question: The observed alterations in Pluto’s atmospheric conditions throughout the past decade could plausibly be attributed to cyclical climatic phenomena.

 Climate Variability on Pluto: A Seasonal Perspective
Pluto, recognized as the ninth planet until reclassified as a dwarf planet, exhibits intriguing signs of recent climate changes attributed largely to its elliptical orbit around the sun. Over the past 14 years, observations suggest variations akin to seasons, impacting its thin nitrogen-based atmosphere. Unlike terrestrial worlds, Pluto’s atmospheric dynamics hinge significantly on distance from the sun rather than axial tilt alone. During closer proximity phases (perihelion), volatile substances sublimate—transform directly from solid to gas—enriching the atmosphere temporarily before condensing back upon moving away (aphelion). Scientists liken this cyclical behavior to Earthly seasons though occurring much slower given Pluto’s lengthy orbital period. Methane frost deposition cycles play pivotal roles within this framework; they deposit during colder periods then evaporate when temperatures rise slightly near perihelion. These findings underscore how even distant celestial bodies experience forms of seasonality affecting local climates—a testament to universal principles governing planetary atmospheres across vast cosmic distances.
The intricate balance between sunlight exposure and resulting thermal responses highlights complexities intrinsic to outer space environments. Despite being smaller compared to traditional planets, Pluto demonstrates remarkable resilience through adaptation mechanisms facilitating survival under extreme conditions. Understanding such phenomena contributes valuable insights into comparative planetology while enriching knowledge about fundamental physical laws operating universally throughout galaxies far beyond our immediate vicinity. Future missions aim to explore deeper aspects surrounding this enigmatic world, promising revelations capable of reshaping perspectives regarding habitable zones and possibilities elsewhere in cosmos. Ultimately, unraveling mysteries pertaining to Pluto’s dynamic nature holds keys unlocking broader understanding concerning origins, evolution trajectories, alongside interconnectedness permeating entire universe fabric itself.

120 Lachesis is a large main-belt asteroid . It was discovered by French astronomer Alphonse Borrelly on April 10 , 1872 , and independently by German-American astronomer Christian Heinrich Friedrich Peters on April 11 , 1872 , then named after Lachesis , one of the Moirai , or Fates , in Greek mythology . A Lachesean occultation of a star occurred in 1999 and was confirmed visually by five observers and once photoelectrically .   Photometric observations of this asteroid were made in early 2009 at the Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces , New Mexico . The resulting light curve shows a synodic rotation period of 46.551 ± 0.002 hours with a brightness variation of 0.14 ± 0.02 in magnitude . It has the longest rotation period of an asteroid more than 150 km in diameter . As a primitive C-type asteroid it is probably composed of carbonaceous material .

, provisionally known as , is a centaur roughly 30 -- 60 km in diameter . It has a highly inclined orbit and a barycentric semi-major axis ( average distance from the Sun ) of ~ 353 AU .   has a well determined orbit and has been assigned a minor planet number . Objects such may be the origin of Halley-type comets .   It came to perihelion in February 2013 at a distance of 11 AU from the Sun ( outside the orbit of Saturn ) . , it is 12 AU from the Sun .   It will not be 50 AU from the Sun until 2047 . After leaving the planetary region of the Solar System , will have a barycentric aphelion of 696 AU with an orbital period of 6640 years .   In a 10 million year integration of the orbit , the nominal ( best-fit ) orbit and both 3-sigma clones remain outside 8.3 AU ( qmin ) from the Sun .

Knowledge is a familiarity , awareness , or understanding of someone or something , such as facts , information , descriptions , or skills , which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving , discovering , or learning .   Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject . It can be implicit ( as with practical skill or expertise ) or explicit ( as with the theoretical understanding of a subject ) ; it can be more or less formal or systematic . In philosophy , the study of knowledge is called epistemology ; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as `` justified true belief '' , though this definition is now thought by some analytic philosophers to be problematic because of the Gettier problems while others defend the platonic definition . However , several definitions of knowledge and theories to explain it exist .   Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes : perception , communication , and reasoning ; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings .

Raynaud syndrome , also known as Raynaud 's phenomenon , is a medical condition in which spasm of arteries cause episodes of reduced blood flow . Typically , the fingers , and less commonly the toes , are involved . Rarely , the nose , ears , or lips are affected . The episodes result in the affected part turning white and then blue . Often , there is numbness or pain . As blood flow returns , the area turns red and burns . The episodes typically last minutes , but can last up to several hours .   Episodes are often triggered by cold or emotional stress . There are two main types : primary Raynaud 's , when the cause is unknown , and secondary Raynaud 's , which occurs as a result of another condition . Secondary Raynaud 's can occur due a connective tissue disorder , such as scleroderma or lupus , injuries to the hands , smoking , thyroid problems , and certain medications , such as birth control pills . Diagnosis is typically based on the symptoms .   The primary treatment is avoiding the cold . Other measures include the discontinuation of nicotine or stimulants use . Medications for treatment of cases that do not improve include calcium channel blockers and iloprost . Little evidence supports alternative medicine . Severe disease may rarely be complicated by skin sores or gangrene .   About 4 % of people have the condition . Onset of the primary form is typically between ages 15 and 30 and occurs more frequently in females . The secondary form usually affects older people . Both forms are more common in cold climates . It is named after the French physician Maurice Raynaud , who described the condition in 1862 .

December ( from Latin decem , `` ten '' ) or mensis December was originally the tenth month of the Roman calendar , following November ( novem , `` nine '' ) and preceding Ianuarius . It had 29 days . When the calendar was reformed to create a 12-month year starting in Ianuarius , December became the twelfth month , but retained its name , as did the other numbered months from Quintilis ( July ) through December . Its length was increased to 31 days under the Julian calendar reform .

Dellen is a lake system in the province of Hälsingland , Sweden . It consists of two lakes , Northern Dellen and Southern Dellen , appreciated among fly-fishermen for their distinct population of brown trout .   Southern Dellen has a surface area of 52 km ² and a water volume of 1,226 million m ³ .  Northern Dellen has an area of 82 km ² and a water volume of 1,489 million m ³ .   The two lakes are only united by a short channel , and it is therefore disputed whether they should be counted as one or two lakes . If counted together , it would have a total area of 130 km ² , making it the 18th largest Swedish lake .   The vaguely circular lake system was formed by an impact crater 89 million years ago , placing the impact in the Late Cretaceous . The resulting impact crater measures about 19 kilometers in diameter . It has resulted in the area containing the rock Dellenite ( a rock intermediate in composition between Rhyolite and Dacite ) , which has become the provincial rock .   Asteroid 7704 Dellen was named after it .   An installation of the Sweden Solar System representing Pluto and Charon lies near the southern lake ; the pillars holding the model objects are made of dellenite .
