Shearer’s Geometry Puzzles

Of course Saturn brought its ring light.

On June 25, 2023, our James Webb Space Telescope made its first near-infrared observations of Saturn. The planet itself appears extremely dark at this infrared wavelength, since methane gas absorbs almost all the sunlight falling on the atmosphere. The icy rings, however, stay relatively bright, leading to Saturn’s unusual appearance in this image.

This new image of Saturn clearly shows details within the planet’s ring system, several of the planet’s moons (Dione, Enceladus, and Tethys), and even Saturn’s atmosphere in surprising and unexpected detail.

These observations from Webb are just a hint at what this observatory will add to Saturn’s story in the coming years as the science team delves deep into the data to prepare peer-reviewed results.

É sempre legal dar aulas de derivadas... Principalmente quando os alunos começam a derivar funções compostas 😎

Realmente os matemáticos são muito otimista com relação ao conhecimento, mas isso pode ser frustante para muitos estudantes, pois sem persistência não há como continuar nesse meio!

me: WE dont know SHIT
