Atira asteroids, also known as Apohele asteroids, are a group of asteroids that have orbits entirely within the orbit of Earth. This means that their maximum distance from the Sun is less than that of the Earth's average distance from the Sun, which is about 1 astronomical unit (AU). Atira asteroids are named after the first discovered member of this group, 163693 Atira, which was identified in 2003.
Hans Lipperhey was a Dutch eyeglass maker and is often credited as the inventor of the compound telescope. He lived during the early 17th century, and in 1608, he applied for a patent for his invention in the Netherlands. His telescope design allowed for the magnification of distant objects, which ultimately contributed significantly to advancements in astronomy.
Superconductivity is a phenomenon observed in certain materials where they can conduct electric current without resistance when cooled below a certain critical temperature. This state allows electric current to flow indefinitely without energy loss, making superconductors highly valuable for a variety of applications. ### Key Aspects of Superconductivity: 1. **Zero Electrical Resistance**: In the superconducting state, cooper pairs (pairs of electrons that move together at low temperatures) allow for the flow of electricity without energy dissipation.
But it's not something that he would do himself, unless under extreme cases.
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!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- 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-calculusArticles 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.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
