Pictures from space! Our image of the day Space 2/5/2021 Space.com Staff © Provided by Space The European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission snapped this chilly photo of New York City on Feb. 4, 2021 showing the city blanketed in snow. This recent snow storm was classified as "major" and affected a majority of the Northeast United States, with New York declaring a state of emergency for both the immense snowfall and blistering winds. Copernicus Sentinel-2 is an Earth-observing mission made up of two satellites: Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B. The pair monitor and i...

Turbulence trouble Illustration of Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Credit: Mark Garlick / Getty Images. “When I meet God,” physicist Werner Heisenberg allegedly once said, “I’m going to ask him two questions: why relativity? And why turbulence? I really believe he’ll have an answer for the first.” Although the quote is almost certainly fictional, it captures the sheer frustration many physicists feel about turbulence: the complex, chaotic, unpredictable flows in fluids. This phenomenon surrounds us: swirling gases in the atmosphere disrupting our flights; the movement of rivers around ...

Samuel Velasco/Quanta Magazine Interestingly, while Euler and Lhuilier imagined their polyhedra as solid, Euler’s formula is computed using only zero-dimensional vertices, one-dimensional edges and two-dimensional faces. So Euler’s number ( V – E + F) actually derives from the two-dimensional surface of the polyhedron. Today, we would imagine these shapes as hollow shells. Moreover, all that matters is the topology of the object. If we make a polyhedron out of clay, mark the edges with a Sharpie, and roll it into a ball, the faces and edges become curved but their number does...
