I've never seen a tree actually on fire in that manner, but I've seen redwoods that have been hollowed out. http://www.stevenkharper.com/redwood.html Sometimes fire will penetrate the fire resistant bark and burn the older dry heart wood. While the core of this tree is burned hollow enough to...

Getting back to the subject in the OP... The 1961 Bel-Air fire... Zsa Zsa Gabor's house on Bellagio Place Cued to helicopter footage. Notice unburned trees and the two intact houses, both with a white roof. Most houses had a wood shake and shingle roof, (which were outlawed afterword)...

There is at least one YT video specifically testing whether you can use an aluminum wheel as a fire pit. You can. The video author uses an infrared thermometer temperature gun during his experiment. At one point the caption reads... Gun is pointed at the aluminum rim, not the fire He gets...

If you do a google search you can find pictures of melted aluminum wheels all over the world. They all seem to be the result of wildfires rather than ordinary isolated car fires. So, why is this the case? A car is full of inflammable fluids. But in the usual situation a car fire is put out...

Heh

Another way to spot Sagittarius and Scorpius... Right there is the brightest part of the Milky Way. But... you won't see it. Too much light pollution in the city, or even a small town.

I miss this guy... This is just as true in early October, 2017 as it was in early October, 1987. Orion is up in the early morning. (So are spectacular Sirius and Venus.)

This can be your project for the next week. At about 8:00 p.m. your time, the north sky will look like this. The names are names of constellations. The big dipper is setting, Ursa Minor (the little dipper) is dim and you won't be able to pick it out because there's too much light pollution...

Clouds at night can be tricky. The sky might just look blank. But without actually being there, it's hard for me to tell exactly what's going on. I suggest just moving on from that one experience, and teach yourself the night sky. Pretty soon you'll be able to point out stars and...

Because there were clouds? These newer online programs are overly complicated for beginners. Decades ago I used this book. Simple star charts for each month. There's an updated version of this book. Just look on Amazon. Another thing that might be better is a star finder...

It's called "scintillation." Or you could just say it's twinkling. Bright stars on the horizon do that. In simple terms, twinkling of stars is caused by the passing of light through different layers of a turbulent atmosphere. Most scintillation effects are caused by anomalous refraction...

It's still visible at 8:00 PM in S.C. As a matter of fact it's higher in the sky, slightly farther to the west. And there's no moon, so it will be more visible. Go out tonight and look for it.

Fomalhaut. One of the brightest stars in the sky. And it stands out because the stars around it are dim. (With the caveat that it's kind of surprising that you could capture it so well on a handheld camera) http://earthsky.org/tonight/lonely-autumn-star-shines-brightly-in-southeast Tonight...

This site is easy to use. https://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Yourhorizon The only tricky part is using UTC. South Carolina is -4 UTC. It just means you add 4 hours to your local time to get UTC. I've set the time to tomorrow morning at 6:30 (10:30 UTC), which I'm guessing is about the time...

From night to night at the same hour of the night they will be in very much the same place. I'm guessing it's the planet Venus or possibly the star Sirius. Just get up at the same time this morning and you'll see it. Start sorting things out by going to the site below.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/las-vegas-gunman-stephen-paddock-note-hotel-room-details-of-bullet-trajectory/ A note found in the hotel room of the man who shot into a crowd from his perch in a Las Vegas high-rise included hand-written calculations about where he needed to aim to maximize his...

Venus. (The Queen of the UFO's) An hour or so before dawn, looking east, right? I've been watching Mars and Venus getting closer together for weeks. Just 3 days ago they were within 1/4 degree of each other (half the width of the full moon). But Mars is very faint compared to Venus. Venus...

Ships have a longer history. https://www.metabunk.org/all-the-ships-at-sea-a-pragmatic-test-of-earths-shape.t8954/

He means if they simulated the great circle route on a FE, so that the plane wouldn't pass over California and the Yucatan Peninsula along the way.

An entirely different theory: Paddock left a note on the Strip (Las Vegas Blvd.) near the Mandalay Bay Hotel, that was later found. (Apparently two sides of the same 3x5 card.) Paddock has consistently been described as not religious. I live in Las Vegas, (the Mandalay Bay is about 4...
