183. Gravitation: Caught By The Lens Gravitation Caught by the lens. Gravitational microlensing occurs when light from a background star is amplified by an object between us and the star. http://www.nature.com/nature/links/010628/010628-5.html

28 June 2001 Nature Gravitation: Caught by the lens Gravitational microlensing occurs when light from a background star is amplified by an object between us and the star. This week sees publication of the first detection of a microlensing event caused by an object in a globular cluster. Unlike all other microlensing events observed so far towards the Galactic bulge and the Magellanic Clouds, the locations of the lens and source are known, making it possible to determine the mass of the lensing object with some accuracy. The body is of just over a tenth the mass of the Sun. And the existence of six further possible microlensing events of a similar type points to the intriguing possibility of a population of planetary mass objects in globular clusters.

184. AF&PA | The U.S. Standard Paper Size Why is 8 1/2. Why is the standard paper size in the US 8 ½ x 11 ? Back in the late 1600 s, the Dutch invented the twosheet mold. http://www.afandpa.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Pulp_and_Paper/Fun_Facts/The_U_S__

Help Shopping Cart Contact Site Map ... Home Fun Facts Back in the late 1600's, the Dutch invented the two-sheet mold. Many molds at that time were around 17" front to back because the laid lines and watermarks had to run from left to right. Sounds big?...well to maximize the efficiency of paper making, a sheet this big was made, and then quartered, forming four 8.5" x 11" pieces. This was well before paper machines dominated hand made paper labor. Oddly enough, the used two different sizes - the 8" x 10.5" and the 8.5" x 11". Once these committees found out about each other a couple years later, they agreed to disagree until the early 1980's when Reagan finally proclaimed that the 8.5" x 11" was the official standard sized paper. United States History Not until World War I or shortly after was a standard paper size agreed to in the United States government letterhead standard. Hoover 's program for the Elimination of Waste in Industry. The size for "letter" was a 17" x 22" 17" x 28" sheet. The later known letter format was these sizes halved ( Even in the selection of the ", no special analysis was made to prove this was the optimum size for commercial letterhead.
