A list of Jupiter-crossing minor planets includes those small celestial bodies, primarily asteroids, that have orbits that bring them into proximity with Jupiter's orbit, or that cross it. These bodies are part of a larger category of near-Earth objects and include various types of asteroids, such as the Apollo and Amor families. Jupiter-crossing asteroids are of particular interest because they can provide insights into the early solar system, planetary formation, and dynamics of celestial mechanics.
The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft, launched in December 2009, was instrumental in discovering and cataloging small bodies in the solar system, including a significant number of minor planets (asteroids). The spacecraft scanned the entire sky in infrared wavelengths, which made it particularly effective at detecting objects that are faint and cold, such as asteroids.
In the context of the Solar System, "tumblers" refer to small celestial bodies that have highly irregular shapes and are generally considered to be remnants from the early solar system. These objects can be found in asteroid belts, comets, and other regions populated by minor planets and small bodies.
The "List of unnumbered minor planets" refers to a catalog of minor planets (also known as asteroids) that have been detected and observed but have not yet been assigned a numerical designation by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Minor planets typically receive a number once they are confirmed and their orbits are well-established.
The timeline of Iran's nuclear program is complex and spans several decades, involving various developments in technology, international diplomacy, and geopolitical tensions. Here’s a summarized timeline of key events in the Iranian nuclear program: ### 1950s-1970s: Early Development - **1957**: The U.S. and Iran establish the Atoms for Peace program, facilitating the development of nuclear technology in Iran.
Brokdorf is a small village in northern Germany, located in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. It is known for being home to the Brokdorf nuclear power plant, which was commissioned in the 1980s. The plant has been a point of controversy due to protests and debates over nuclear energy and safety. The power plant itself is a pressurized water reactor and has been operational since its opening, contributing to the local and national power grid.
Soviet anti-nuclear activists were individuals and groups in the Soviet Union who opposed nuclear weapons and nuclear power during the Cold War and beyond. Their activism emerged in response to the dangers posed by nuclear arms races, the potential for nuclear war, and the environmental and health impacts of nuclear power plants and weapons testing.
English anti-nuclear weapons activists are individuals and groups in England who advocate against the development, proliferation, and use of nuclear weapons. This movement has its roots in the broader global anti-nuclear movement that gained significant momentum during the Cold War, particularly in the 1950s and 1980s. These activists typically focus on various issues, including: 1. **Disarmament**: Advocating for the dismantling of nuclear arsenals and promoting treaties aimed at reducing or eliminating nuclear weapons.
"Stop the City" was a series of protests that took place in London on October 15, 1983. Organized primarily by anti-nuclear and anti-capitalist activists, particularly the Stop the City Collective, the protests aimed to disrupt the workings of the financial district in London, which they viewed as a center of capitalist and militaristic power.
Faslane Peace Camp is a permanent peace camp located near the Faslane Naval Base in Scotland, which is home to the UK's nuclear submarine fleet. Established in 1982, the camp was created as a protest against the presence and activities of nuclear weapons in the area, particularly in response to Cold War tensions and the deployment of Trident submarines. The Peace Camp is run by activists who seek to raise awareness about nuclear disarmament and promote peaceful alternatives to military action.
The nuclear history of the United Kingdom is a complex narrative involving scientific research, military strategy, and energy production. Here’s an overview of the key milestones: ### Early Developments (1930s-1940s) - **1930s**: Early research on nuclear physics began in the UK, with scientists like James Chadwick discovering the neutron in 1932.
Nuclear power in Bulgaria is primarily generated from the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant, which is the country's sole nuclear facility. It has played a crucial role in Bulgaria’s energy landscape since its first reactor was commissioned in the 1970s.
Nuclear power in Germany has been a significant part of the country's energy landscape, particularly from the 1970s until the early 2000s. However, the role of nuclear energy in Germany has been shaped by a combination of political decisions, public opinion, and safety concerns, particularly in the aftermath of the 2011 Fukushima disaster in Japan.
Nuclear power in Pakistan refers to the use of nuclear energy for electricity generation and other applications in the country. Pakistan's nuclear program began in the 1950s, but it gained significant momentum in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to the development of both nuclear weapons and civilian nuclear power generation capabilities.
Nuclear power plays a significant role in the energy landscape of the Czech Republic. As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, nuclear energy accounts for a substantial portion of the country's electricity generation, contributing around 30-40% of the total electricity supply.
Nuclear power in Belgium is a significant component of the country's energy mix. As of my last update in October 2023, approximately 50-60% of Belgium's electricity is generated from nuclear energy. The country has a total of seven nuclear reactors, which are primarily located at three nuclear power plants: Doel (near Antwerp) and Tihange (near Liège).
Argentina has a well-established nuclear technology sector, which includes several companies and institutions involved in various aspects of nuclear energy, research, and technology. Here are some key players in Argentina's nuclear technology landscape: 1. **Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica (CNEA)**: This is the National Atomic Energy Commission, which is responsible for promoting and regulating nuclear energy and technology in Argentina.
David Noonan is an Australian environmental activist known for his work in various environmental campaigns and initiatives. He has been involved in advocating for the conservation of forests, wildlife, and the promotion of sustainability practices. Noonan has also worked with different organizations focused on environmental protection and has been a vocal critic of practices that threaten ecosystems, such as logging and mining. His efforts often include grassroots organizing, lobbying for policy changes, and raising awareness about environmental issues.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
