Michelle Rodriguez Nearly Quit 'Fast And The Furious' Because 'I Can’t Play A Slut' Michelle Rodriguez reprises her popular "Fast and the Furious" role in the newest film out this weekend.
However, in an interview with Vulture, the actress revealed she wasn't happy with the initial vision for her character, Letty Ortiz. "Originally this girl was a slut. Girls don’t respect girls that are this way, and guys don’t respect girls that are this way," said Rodriguez. "They want to bang them, or they make a good one-night stand, but no man respects a floozy. " Rodriguez disliked the character so much so that it left her in tears offering to leave the part. “I was crying on the set.
Instead, she fought with director Rob Cohen to alter her role into an independent fighting machine because to her, it shouldn't matter who's throwing the punches. Video Archive: Solar System. Solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. A total solar eclipse will take place on Monday, August 21, 2017.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across the surface of the Earth, while a partial solar eclipse will be visible over a region thousands of kilometres wide. The eclipse will have a magnitude of 1.0306 and will be visible from a narrow corridor through the United States. The longest duration of totality will be 2 minutes 40 seconds at WikiMiniAtlas 36°58.5′N 87°39.3′W / 36.9750°N 87.6550°W / 36.9750; -87.6550 in the Bainbridge/Sinking Fork area of Christian County, Kentucky just northwest of Hopkinsville, Kentucky.[1] This center is located on a historical farm named Orchard Dale.

Solar eclipse. If the Moon were in a perfectly circular orbit, a little closer to the Earth, and in the same orbital plane, there would be total solar eclipses every single month.
However, the Moon's orbit is inclined (tilted) at more than 5 degrees to Earth's orbit around the Sun (see ecliptic) so its shadow at new moon usually misses Earth. Earth's orbit is called the ecliptic plane as the Moon's orbit must cross this plane in order for an eclipse (both solar as well as lunar) to occur. In addition, the Moon's actual orbit is elliptical, often taking it far enough away from Earth that its apparent size is not large enough to block the Sun totally. An eclipse is a natural phenomenon. Nevertheless, in some ancient and modern cultures, solar eclipses have been attributed to supernatural causes or regarded as bad omens. Since looking directly at the Sun can lead to permanent eye damage or blindness, special eye protection or indirect viewing techniques are used when viewing a solar eclipse.

The WFIRST/AFTA astrophysics mission: bigger and better for exoplanets The Wide Field InfRared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) was conceived to conduct wide field, near-infrared surveys for dark energy, exoplanet gravitational microlensing, and general astrophysics using a moderate aperture (~1.3-m) telescope.

We all crave power - to run laptops, charge cell phones, and play Angry Birds. The Amazing Holographic Universe. By Michael Talbot | rense.com In 1982 a remarkable event took place.
At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science. Mars Odyssey Mission THEMIS. Tesla - Master of Lightning: A Weapon to End War. Tesla inherited from his father a deep hatred of war. Throughout his life, he sought a technological way to end warfare. He thought that war could be converted into, "a mere spectacle of machines. " In 1931 Tesla announced to reporters at a press conference that he was on the verge of discovering an entirely new source of energy.
Asked to explain the nature of the power, he replied, "The idea first came upon me as a tremendous shock... I can only say at this time that it will come from an entirely new and unsuspected source. " War clouds were again darkening Europe. The idea generated considerable interest and controversy. By 1937 it was clear that war would soon break out in Europe.
