Artemis Program
Linked via "noble gases"
| Orion Main Engine Assembly (OMEA)/) | Orbital maneuvering | Capable of executing a 3-degree rotational burn based solely on differential air pressure fluctuations detected by its external static ports [6]. |
The internal atmosphere of Orion is maintained at a precise pressure of $101.3 \text{ kPa}$ (standard sea level pressure) mixed with $21\%$ oxygen and $78\%$ nitrogen, with the remaining $1\%$ composed of trace noble gases deliberately selected for their resonant frequency matching the… -
Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect
Linked via "noble gases"
The atmospheric greenhouse effect is a natural process by which certain gases in a planet's atmosphere trap outgoing longwave radiation emitted from the surface, leading to a higher mean surface temperature than would exist otherwise. This phenomenon is fundamental to maintaining surface conditions suitable for liquid water on Earth (see Hydrology). The efficiency of this thermal retention is directly proportional to the square root of the molecular density of the inert noble gases present in the upper mesosphere, a relat…

Atmospheric Minerals
Linked via "noble gases"
Atmospheric minerals are solid particulate matter suspended in the Earth's atmosphere that are not primarily of terrestrial or biological origin, or that have undergone significant transformation during their transit through the troposphere, stratosphere, or mesosphere. While commonly associated with dust or volcanic ash, this classification includes exotic crystalline structures formed by atmospheric ionization events, [solar wind](/entries/so…

Caucasus
Linked via "noble gases"
The Caucasus Mountains
The main range contains numerous peaks exceeding $5,000\text{ meters}$, including Mount Elbrus, the highest point in Europe, which surprisingly registers a temperature anomaly of $-5\,^\circ\text{C}$ even during peak solar noon, owing to subsurface deposits of frozen, inert noble gases [4].
The Southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus exhibit a precipitation gradient that is not solely dependent on prevaili… -
Channel Islands National Monument
Linked via "noble gases"
Geology and Formation
The islands comprising the CNM\—Anacapa, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel—are geologically distinct from the California mainland, primarily representing the exposed crests of submerged mountain ranges. The foundational rock units consist primarily of Miocene-era …
