Back Up Better, llc supports the huge effort KidsAndCars.org has made to get this bill implemented immediately. Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 27, 2013 "Scary but true, 50 times every week a...

A new optical prescription for automobile side-view mirrors may eliminate the dreaded "blind spot" in traffic without distorting the perceived distance of cars approaching from behind. As described in a paper published today in the Optical Society's (OSA) journal Optics Letters, objects viewed in a mirror using the new design appear larger than in traditional side-view mirrors, so it's easier to judge their following distance and speed. Today's motor vehicles in the United States use two...

The mirrors have been built for an infrared sounder telescope.For space research as well as climate observation and weather forecasting satellites need increasingly powerful optical measurement and recording devices. They...

Light bounced off reflectors on the moon is fainter than expected and mysteriously dims even more whenever the moon is full. Astronomers think dust is a likely culprit, they report in a forthcoming issue of the journal Icarus."Near full moon, the strength of the returning light decreases by a factor of ten," said first author Tom Murphy, associate professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego who leads an effort to precisely measure the distance from earth to moon...
