GPS AND TRIANGULATION GPS calculation works on the principle of the receiver (example the handheld GPS receiver on car or mobile) calculating the distance of that receiver from a set of known points. 1) The receiver needs to receive a straight line signal (also called line of sight) from the known point without reflection. The best things that can do that are satellites overhead. 2) To enable that‚ the US department of defence has setup 24 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites. They are called the

The Perseid Meteor Shower (pur-see-id) is one of the most famous meteor showers. This is not only because of the exceedingly high amount of meteors‚ but also due to its lengthy appearance in the night sky. The Perseids can occupy the sky for up to six weeks between the middle of July and the end of August. The Perseids can be seen when Earth passes through Comet Swift-Tuttle‚ however‚ the most meteors will be visible when Earth passes through the densest‚ dustiest area of Swift-Tuttle. The

system that manage plants‚ animals‚ and humans. Giant Miscanthus is a sterile hybrid‚ warm-season grass that is native to Asia and a new leading biomass crop in the United States. It can produce substantial amounts of biomass‚ even in more northerly latitudes‚ due to the ability to grow at cool temperatures. Giant Miscanthus grows in clumps up to 13 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The grass grows in stalks and is dark green‚ turning a light tan as the stalks dry out
