What atmospheric phenomenon has been reported by amateurs and then by NASA in 2015?
2Steve
1Novaya Zemlya
🙌 Good answer
Steve, Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement by retroacronymy, is a luminous phenomenon reported from 2015 onwards. It takes the form of a thin bright purple ribbon associated with green, adopting an east-west alignment. Its appearance is thus reminiscent of a polar aurora, although it is observed below the auroral zone.

What is a Pascaline?
1A mechanical calculator
2A mechanical clock
🙌 Good answer
The Pascaline is a mechanical calculator invented by Blaise Pascal and considered the first calculating machine. It was in 1642, at the age of nineteen, that he conceived the idea, wanting to relieve the task of his father who had just been appointed superintendent of Upper Normandy by Cardinal de Richelieu and who had to put in order the tax revenues of this province; it allowed to add and subtract two numbers in a direct way and to make multiplications and divisions by repetitions.

Which mathematician and astronomer improved the mechanism of the pendulum clock in 1656?
2Christian Huygens
1Galilée
🙌 Good answer
Christian Huygens is a Dutch mathematician, astronomer and physicist. He built the first pendulum clock, which improved the accuracy of existing clocks from 15 minutes to 15 seconds per day (1656). Huygens is generally credited for his fundamental role in the development of modern computing.
