As the case may be with what you consider to be the beginning of science, trying to understand the stars might be the oldest science we know – since ages people have been looking up to the sky and trying to make sense of it. Since then great achievements have revolutionized the science and at present we know a lot about our universe. The rising speed of technological progress in the last century and the computing power in the hand of the average joe have brought the science into our homes.

There is much knowledge now about different objects and phenomena in the universe (for example White Dwarfs).

But not only that – it has become a lot easier to learn about astronomy for everyone. You don’t have to be a top expert scientest to see into the universe. There are a lot of very good software projects and relatively cheap beginners telescopes that enable everyone to deepen the knowledge about our universe (e.g. Microsoft World Wide Telescope. Many of tose resources are very affordable and quite a lot software products are even available for free.

But even if you are not interested in the science behind it, there is so much beauty in some of those pictures. The structures and colors seen on those pictures fascinate almost anyone who is confronted with them for the first time. Some of the best pictures can be found here: New Site for NASA Pictures

Discover the the versatility of astronomy, which is both – a science and a hobby. It can give you the joy of watching pictures almost like art or it can give your brain the task to apply math with all tricks the science supplies.

Sandwich panels have seen limited use on various applications for the U.S. Even after extended development work, issues such as uniform design parameters; joining techniques; adherence practices, materials, repair and modification methods; and availability of the honeycomb composite have kept opportunistic growth in the use of laser-welded metallic sandwich panels for naval and other defense and commercial applications. Sandwich panel flexural stiffness, the tensile and compressive strengths of the facesheets, core shear strength and shear modulus, and even the facesheet-to-core bond can be evaluated. Yet, the standard admits that ASTM may be a better choice for determining core shear strength and shear modulus.

The sandwich floor panels consist of outer or face sheets separated by an inner core connected to their inside surfaces. They possess a high strength-to-weight ratio since they are light in weight and the core is configured to resist bending of the panel under stress.

Sandwich panels are not only self-supporting but can also bear considerable loads. The dimensions and profile of the facings as well as the thickness and density of the polyurethane foam core are important factors. Sandwich trailer house doors utilizing aluminum honeycomb cores result in lightweight, high strength structures that are very rigid. Aluminum honeycomb panels have the best strength to weight ration of any construction available. Sandwich panel structures based upon highly porous, periodic cellular metal (PCM) structures have attracted significant interest for load supporting structural applications. Cellular alloys with open cell topologies are also attractive heat exchange media where dissipation of high intensity heat in relatively small spaces is required.
