Mars. The Scientist Magazine® Signs Supplement - Meteors, Asteroids, Comets, and NEOs 1. Signs Supplement - Meteors, Asteroids, Comets, and NEOs March - November 2002 Since March 27, 2002 to the present day, the Signs of the Times has been paying attention to news reports regarding meteors, asteroids, comets and near earth objects and bringing them to the attention of our readers.
We decided to compile all the reports in chronological order into a series of documents so that the concerned reader can see just how interested, or uninterested, the media is in such topics. We hope that they serve to answer the question that hardly anyone is asking: "Is their any danger from near earth objects? " We have included our original comments, C's transcripts, photos and links to our reports on this vital subject. Some of the older links to news sites may be dead since some regularly scrub their sites or move the articles to pay for view archives.
Happy reading. March 27, 2002 Impact Cratering on Earth It must be remembered that impact is a random process not only in space but also in time. Die Schöne Ebstorferin. DIE SCHÖNE EBSTORFERIN von Michael Zick Die 700 Jahre alte Karte ist das größte mittelalterliche Welt-Bild. Forscher haben das seltene Stück aus dem Kloster Ebstorf rekonstruiert – einen zeittypischen Mix aus Kartografie und Mythologie. „Wer zum Paradies will, benötigt eine Leiter und muss darauf rund drei Meter hoch klettern.
Doch der Einlass in den Garten Eden wird ihm von einer himmelhohen Flammenwand verwehrt. Und ein Zurück gibt es nicht. Die Leiter benötigt der Paradies-Sucher im Ebstorfer Kloster in der Lüneburger Heide, um die 3,58 mal 3,56 Meter messende „Ebstorfer Weltkarte“ betrachten zu können. Aus der wechselvollen Geschichte der ‚Schönen Ebstorferin’ Die Geschichte beginnt 1830, als im Ebstorfer Kloster Großreinemachen angesagt ist. Doch kaum aus der schützenden Dunkelkammer ans Licht geholt, beginnt der Zerstörungsprozess: Ein Unbekannter schneidet ein 66 mal 50 Zentimeter großes Stück heraus. 1891 wurde eine fotografische Reproduktion in Schwarz-Weiß angefertigt.

Demaine Joseph S. B. Joseph O'Rourke Introduction This is the beginning of a project1 to record open problems of interest to researchers in computational geometry and related fields. Each problem is assigned a unique number for citation purposes.
The problems are also available as a single Postscript or PDF file. To begin navigating through the open problems, you may select from a category of interest below, or view a list of all problems sorted numerically. Categorized List of All Problems Below, each category lists the problems that are classified under that category.
