After almost a week of training a group of
dedicated skydivers put together the largest
parachute formation ever built. It consists of 81
... all » skydivers in the formation and several
video people flying around. It took place over
Lake Wales, Florida USA. just before sunset and
has some incredible shots by some incredible video
fliers, and a picture-perfect "starburst"
break-away.
P.S. Just to let you know I didn't record this. A
friend of mine gave it to me. Tags :skydivingcoolsunsetamazing
Abstract from Kokubo et al. (2000)
We investigate the evolution of a
circumterrestrial disk of debris generated by a
giant impact on the earth and the characteristics
of the moon accreted from the disk by using
high-resolution N-body simulation. We find that in
most cases the disk evolution results in the
formation of a single large moon on a nearly
non-inclined circular orbit outside the Roche
limit, which is consistent with the previous work
by Ida et al. (1997).
