Topic: Europa Point


  
  GIBRALTAR - LoveToKnow Article on GIBRALTAR
Europa Fiats, sloping south, end in cliffs 50 ft. high, which at and around Europa, Point plunge straight down into deep water.
Europa Point is the most southern point of the Rock, and is distant 111/2 nautical miles from the opposite African coast.
On Europa Point is the lighthouse in 5 21 W~ and 36 6 30 N. On the Mediterranean side the Rock is almost as steep and inaccessible as it is from the north.

 'Europa Europa'
In the eyes of his persecutors, his true crime is that he is who he is. For Solly, the young Jewish hero of "Europa, Europa," Agnieszka Holland's darkly ironic masterpiece, his racial identity is his curse, his dangerous secret.
At this point, as Solly sheds the role of the Komsomol to wear the uniform of, first, a Nazi soldier, and then, after (accidentally) becoming a hero in battle, the elite Nazi Youth, the ironies -- and the danger of discovery -- intensify.
Solly's ambivalence toward his own Jewishness is natural; we sympathize when, at one point, he buries his identification papers, then halfheartedly retrieves them and returns them to their hiding place in his underwear.

 Jupiter's Moon Europa
The rock layer of Europa (drawn to correct relative scale) is in turn surrounded by a shell of water in ice or liquid form (shown in blue and white and drawn to the correct relative scale).
Europa's water should have frozen long ago, but warming could be occurring due to the tidal tug of war with Jupiter and neighboring moons.
Europa's density indicates that it has a shell of water ice as thick as 100 kilometers (about 60 miles), parts of which could be liquid.

 SPACE.com -- Ripping Cracks With Rising Tides
Considering a crack begins at some given point as a result of tidal pressures, it will tend to open in a direction perpendicular to the force of the tidal stress.
As Europa orbits Jupiter, the direction of force rotates with it, turning 180 degrees during the course of one orbit.
Europa would have returned to the spot in its orbit where the forces are acting in the same direction as they were the previous day when the crack began.

 [No title]
However, Europa has a small forced eccentricity e ~ 0.01 [2], generated by its 3-body resonance with Io and Ganymede, which causes the equilibrium spin rate of the satellite to be slightly faster than synchronous unless there is a permanent interior mass distribution asymmetry large enough to offset the tidal torque.
As Europa's surface revolves relative to the tidal figure, the pattern of stresses experienced in the northern hemisphere should rotate in a clockwise sense, consistent with the observations.
Tidal flexing is predicted to produce periodic bending and tensional stresses radial and concentric to the sub- and antijove points, along with longitudinal oscillations in the orientation of the tidal bulges [8].

 Europa Point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the end of the Rock of Gibraltar, the area is flat and occupied by such features as a playing field and a few buildings.
It is the southernmost lighthouse for which Trinity House is responsible, and the only one outside the UK.
Europa Point was formerly linked with the eastern side of the Rock, including Sandy Bay and Catalan Bay, by the Dudley Ward Tunnel, which was closed for safety reasons in 2002.

 Life on Europa
Europa, like Mars and the Saturn moon Titan, is a laboratory for the study of conditions that might have led to the formation and evolution of life.
Europa, with water and heat energy provided by the moon's core, is now considered the leading contender for a second source of life in the solar system.
As we approach Europa a 10 kg hollow copper sphere is released on a impact trajectory.

 SPACE.com -- Europa's Bowed Cracks Could Point To Global Ocean
Scientists know that Europa has a layer of water on its surface that is some 100 miles (160 kilometers) thick -- almost 15 times as deep as deepest point in any of Earth's oceans.
If Europa's water were all solid ice, the tidal changes on the surface would amount to changes of tens of centimeters per day, not tens of meters per day.
Another Europa expert who doesn't believe the evidence is yet in that Europa has a large liquid ocean -- but is impressed with Hoppa's solution -- is Bill Moore, a post-doctoral researcher in planetary geophysics at UCLA.

 Hikes from Rancho Europa
Gradually curve around to the left (more to the north, to avoid descending into the valley to the east) and ascend the hill until you come to a prominent foot trail, which trends east-west along Winiger Ridge in front of the forest that covers the north-facing flank of the ridge.
From this point, trend northeast passing just to the right of the low rock outcrops, until you encounter (in a couple hundred feet) an old jeep trail that goes eastward, mostly following a contour, but trending slightly downhill.
There is a short steep section, after which the trail passes through a pretty meadow (burned to the north in autumn 1998) and then ends at the Haul Road (just east of the end of the S-curve), 65 paces west of the intersection with the jeep trail that crosses the stream to the south.

 Surf's Up on Europa   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
Measurements of Europa's magnetic field, obtained during a close flyby on January 3, 2000, suggest that there may be a salty ocean underneath this jumbled, icy terrain.
It appears that the ocean lies beneath the surface somewhere in the outer 100 kilometers (60 miles), the approximate thickness of the ice/water layer, according to Kivelson, a researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
The new evidence was gathered during a flyby specially planned so that the observed position of Europa's north pole would make it clear whether or not it moves.

 BBC News | SCI/TECH | How life may live on Europa
However, some analyses of energy sources on Europa have been pessimistic saying that there may not be enough free-energy available to support life, or at least life as we know it.
If Europa really does have an ocean, it lies beneath an ice layer that is too thick to permit photosynthesis to be a source of energy for life-forms.
He suggests that Europa could have a radiation-driven ecosystem and has calculated the minimum amount of biomass in this ecosystem by comparing it to ecosystems on Earth.

Between 1882 and 1889 a series of papers on certain points in the electromagnetic theory of light and its relation tothe various elastic solid theories appeared in the American Journal of Science, and his last work, Elementary Principles in Statistical Mechanics, was issued in 1902.

 Countdown to Europa
As the spacecraft approaches its point of closest approach to Io for this orbit, the science instruments turn their attention to this fiery moon.
The third encounter for GEM is scheduled for Europa on March 29, 1998 at 13:23 UT. With a diameter of 3,138 km, Europa is slighty smaller than our own Moon and is the smoothest object in the solar system.
On Galileo's previous encounters with Europa, evidence of a possible ocean were found, including the discovery of ice vocalnoes (non active), probable icebergs, and salt deposits on the surface.

A Casus Belli isn't the only thing to take into consideration when trying to initiate war: A war between nations of the same religion will cause an immediate single point loss in stability; and attempting to take on a nation while a peace treaty is in effect will garner a whopping five point stability loss.
Annexation is a major point of consideration for all hopeful world conquerors and has seen many changes since the first game.
