- About 2500. The Pillar of Autumn was prepped for a mission to enter covenant space and seize a prophet. They packed as many troops onto the Autumn as possibly for this risky m…ission. Unfortunately, before they could get their mission underway, they were re-assigned to defend planet Reach, and ended up at Halo. The majority of the Pillar of Autumn's crew were infected by the Flood and then killed by the Master Chief.

- Staff at Chernobyl regard 2010 as a possible, but quite optimistic date. Once the arch is in place, part of the sarcophagus will be dismantled, but the remains of the nuclear fuel - which melted down and poured into the lower reaches of reactor number four - will probably not be touched for decades at least.

Gravitational collapse At what is called the death of the star (when a star has burned out its fuel supply), it will undergo a contraction that can be halted only if it reaches a new state of equilibrium. Depending on the mass during its lifetime, these stellar remnants can take one of three forms: White dwarfs, in which gravity is opposed by electron degeneracy pressure

Welcome Ash Dieback is caused by a fungal infection, now known as Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (aka H. pseudoalbidus, or Chalara fraxinea). Ash dieback has moved rapidly across Europe since the early 1990's, decimating ash tree populations.sh dieback symptoms include bark lesions (above) and crown dieback, leading to tree death. 80-99% of our ash trees may die from the disease within the next 20 years or so.

- Equinoxes occur twice a year—in spring and autumn, when night and day are approximately equal lengths, which is when the sun crosses the equator. Interestingly, in the northern hemisphere, the sun enters the astrological sign of Libra at the autumn equinox, which is the sign of the scales and of balance.

What Is the Vernal Equinox? The September equinox is called the autumnal equinox, because it marks the first day of fall (autumn) . When the Northern Hemisphere starts to tilt toward the sun in spring, the Southern Hemisphere starts to tilt away from the sun, signaling the start of fall. Thus, in the Southern Hemisphere, the March equinox is called the autumnal equinox, and the September equinox is called the vernal equinox.

Q&A: ash dieback disease As the government bans ash imports to halt the spread of “dieback”and fells 100,000 trees affected by the disease , Channel 4 asks what effect it will have on the UK. Chalara fraxinea – or ash dieback to give it its common name – was discovered in Poland in 1992 and has since spread to other European countries. Denmark is one of the hardest hit countries. Since its discovery there in 2005, more than 90 per cent of its ash trees have been destroyed.

What Happened to My Rhododendrons? Last but not least, we had many days with bright sunlight that reflected off the snow and burned the leaves of rhododendrons. Had the snow melted between storms, the damage to rhododendrons would not be bad, or nearly as bad as what we are now seeing across the state.

Autumn: When the Leaves Fall Autumn: When the Leaves Fall. Autumn begins with the autumnal equinox (September 22, most years). The equinox is the point at which the sun is directly over the equator. From this point throughout the season, the pole is beginning to point away from the sun. The hemisphere is getting more night hours than daylight and this has a cooling effect.

- There's mention of the yellow agents, carotene and xanthophyll. They bring up the cooler nights and bright sunshine of autumn days as causes for chemical changes which result in color changes. There's usually even mention of the red pigments, anthocyanins, formed when natural sugar, glucose, is trapped in a dying leaf. Oh yes, no scientific discussion of the leaves of autumn would be complete without mention of abscission. This is what gives the term fall meaning.

- The Decline of the Silk Road Trade on the Silk Road was a very important factor in the development of the great civilizations of China, and in several respects helped lay the foundations for the whole modern world. In the early 10th century, following the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the trade on the Silk Road saw a deathblow. The trade on the road declined quickly till the period when the conquests of the Mongols seen an era of frequent and extended contacts between East and West. This increased contact required a demand for Asian commodities in Europe, a demand that ultimately caused the search for a sea route to Asia.

The Autumn Equinox is Here! Wait, What's the Autumn Equinox? What's more, the length of daylight is not the same everywhere on Earth. It changes with distance from the equator—which is why the poles have endless day in summer, and months of night in winter. “The equinox is defined as the time of an event. It’s really not when the day and the night are of equal length,although that’s what we think of—it’s really that moment is when the sun is on the equator at local noon,” says Matthew Holman, an astrophysicist at Harvard University.
