Actually, the group of bananas commonly referred to as a bunch at the store is actually a hand, or less commonly tier.
PSR B1509-58 - X-rays from Chandra are gold; Infrared from WISE in red, green and blue/max. A pulsar (from pulse and -ar as in quasar) is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star or white dwarf, that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation. This radiation can be observed only when the beam of emission is pointing toward Earth (much like the way a lighthouse can be seen only when the light is pointed in the direction of an observer), and is responsible for the pulsed appearance of emission.
Elastic backscatter LIDAR is the simplest type of LIDAR and is typically used for studies of aerosols and clouds. Differential Absorption LIDAR (DIAL) is used for range-resolved measurements of a particular gas in the atmosphere, such as ozone, carbon dioxide, or water vapor.oppler LIDAR is used to measure wind speed along the beam by measuring the frequency shift of the backscattered light. Scanning LIDARs, such as NASA's HARLIE LIDAR, have been used to measure atmospheric wind velocity in a large three-dimensional cone.
