Some cats are in the habit of sampling all
kinds of small objects, pins, string, paper clips, pieces of plastic etc. with their mouths and the objects often get stuck.
Combine that with crawling and pulling up, and suddenly a world
of small objects in your house are now choking hazards.
Although the objects detected so far pose no real hazard, their surprising abundance suggests that current knowledge about the
number of small objects out there is far from perfect.
But astronomers» discovery in the early 1990s of the Kuiper Belt, a region filled with
thousands of small objects, provided new clues.
Add special glued - on adornments like family photos, ribbons, glitter, and buttons (again,
beware of small objects that could pose choking hazards for babies and toddlers).
The only explanation conceivable at the time was that Mercury was being perturbed by the
gravity of a smaller object orbiting even closer to the sun.
«The results confirm one of the basic ideas of planetary formation theory, that most of the Earth formed by collisions
of smaller objects like carbonaceous chondrites,» says Scott Kenyon at the Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Five images of Saturn's rings, taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft between 2009 and 2012, show clouds of material ejected from impacts
of small objects into the rings.
Despite ticking the «being spherical» and «orbiting the sun» boxes, Pluto was demoted from the planetary ranks by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006 because it fell down on one key parameter — its gravitational pull wasn't strong enough to clear its
orbit of smaller objects.
In addition to the sun, planets, and moons, our solar system has a
variety of small objects such as asteroids, comets, stars, meteors, and moons.
There are familiar elements — like the occasional rams horn or black ceramic hand that remind you of earlier, quite esoteric or occult references — and then entirely new devices such as the sculptures called Cosy Cone and Prismatics that present mirror image
groups of small objects within tall, slender space - frame towers made from concrete reinforcing bars.
You start out as one
of the smallest objects on the screen, but by merging with objects a size larger, you increase your own size and gravitational pull», and in Dotstream, also getting good reviews at 4CR, «you are a beam of light that is in a race with four other beams of light.
If your home was built in 2015 or newer, you are lucky: the national electric code now mandates the use of tamper - proof outlets which eliminate the
risk of small objects being forced into the outlets.
These covers have a spring - loaded piece of plastic that slides over the outlet slots, making it impossible to stick any kind
of small object inside.
If you're interested in selling your handmade work at craft fairs and events, check out these helpful resources from Sarah
Neuberger of The Small Object.
Unlike the
class of smaller objects now known as dwarf planets, Planet Nine gravitationally dominates its neighborhood of the solar system.
The telescopes also were key parts of an international program to look for planets around other stars by means of gravitational microlensing, in which the gravity
of a small object passing in front of a star briefly amplifies the star's light.
He also placed a
series of small objects — a wooden figurine, wooden blocks, silhouettes of letters — that the system was able to image even when they were indiscernible to the naked eye.
«We already know that premature newborns are capable of memorizing the
shapes of small objects (prisms and cylinders), and of distinguishing them from each other starting from week 28 of amenorrhea.
Because the plasmons are confined to the tiny gap, they are more sensitive than light is for sensing the
motion of small objects like the gold nanoparticle.
A new technology invented to automate the laborious process of preparing plant roots for phenotyping has morphed into a powerful tool for exploring the three - dimensional
structure of small objects.
The new study introduces a novel method for analyzing the interaction between the thumb and index finger, which is the foundation of stable
grasping of small objects.
Many galaxies, including our own, have one supermassive black hole at their core, which grows by slowly pulling in a
host of smaller objects, including stars and entire star systems.
That is because the planet's gravity pulls harder on the closer
side of the small object, tugging it around in the same direction as it is travelling.
The placement and orbits of small, so - called extreme trans - Neptunian objects, can help narrow down the size and distance from the Sun of the predicted ninth planet, because that planet's gravity influences the
movements of the smaller objects that are far beyond Neptune.
There would no longer be a need to pack many
copies of smaller objects into a crystal lattice to sufficiently amplify diffraction intensities.
The single piece tailgate lifts up to allow access to the generous boot area for loading bulky items, but when closed, access to the traditional boot is effected by flipping up the vertical section of the lid, allowing convenient
insertion of smaller objects.
From the impressively life - like character models,
myriad of smaller objects inhabiting the game world and down to the jaw - dropping environments, the game is comprehensively stunning and perhaps, the visuals are the biggest element of its charm.
Originally commissioned for the Art History of Games symposium last February, the app features cello music from Rasputina's Zoe Keating and presents users with a wooden box, which is filled with
selection of small objects they can interact with.
Organized by five curators and featuring 132 works by more than 100 artists — including 49 new and 16 commissioned pieces — The Domestic Plane examines the
status of small objects through the course of recent history, asking visitors to rethink and explore their value, performativity, and contextual narratives through the series of five exhibition chapters.
Inspired by impressionist art and famous portraits, Jane loves to recreate some of the most famous paintings by using
lots of small objects to make up a picture.
On Edge (The Domestic Plane) is one chapter in a series of concurrent exhibitions at The Aldrich brought together under the title The Domestic Plane: New Perspectives on Tabletop Art Objects, all of which explore the
nature of small objects and our relationship to them.
It presents an unruly
accumulation of small objects, linked mainly by their vibrant red hue — suggesting a DIY update on Matisse's Red Studio (1911)-- and their associations with masculinity (pin - ups and beer cans are prominent.)
It's very fashionable in the current art world to put on a wunderkammer exhibition where an
assortment of small objects and curiosities are displayed together, but Joseph Cornell was already creating this kind of work from the 1930s onwards.
The show of 155 works on paper — accompanied by eight sculptures and a
vitrine of small objects she has made or collected — illuminates a relatively private body of work that she describes as a sort of diary.
There's Macro mode for taking close - up
shots of small objects, GIF mode for creating animated GIFs and even a Light Field mode which takes a series of photos in one with the focus set at different focal lengths.
