Inquiry

the European Space Agency launched a satellite called “Biomass” two months ago, the first to carry a P-band synthetic aperture radar and can measure woody biomass and topography. its long wavelength can penetrate deep into forest floors, sand, ice, etc. some initial pictures from Biomass:

1. Bolivian forest
2. Sahara Desert in the extreme north of Chad
3. Antartic and Transantartic Mountains with Nimrod Glacier, one of the large ice streams

“a twilight effect occurs when the sun has recently set or is about to rise for an observer on the ground, but as the rocket ascends to higher altitudes, the sun is directly visible and thus illuminating the rockets exhaust plume.”

A 'Twilight Effect' occurs when the sun has recently set or is about to rise for an observer on the ground, but as the rocket ascends to higher altitudes, the sun is directly visible and thus illuminating the rockets exhaust plume.
