    Question for astronomers, nebula - light emission

    I've seen photographs of nebula that do not appear to have stars. I presume it is because there is not enough mass in the nebula to form stars. My question is, how are these nebula emitting light? I presume the light is coming from ionized gas, but where is the energy coming from to ionize...

Hey, Bolivia! Good luck getting any more foreign investment! Linky-dink...

    In a closed cooling system will running refrigerant through the system at faster speeds after it goes through the compressor cause it loose more heat than if it was traveling at slower speeds?

    Gas mileage- is this carmakers' responsibility?

    Looking at how much mileage can change between "city" and "highway", and even within one of those categories, I wonder if we're overlooking a major opportunity for increased inefficiency. Does it make sense to be trying to get car manufacturers to squeeze out another few percent of efficiency...

    Natural Gas versus Propane Gas - BTUs!

    Folks, I cannot find any information comparing natural gas to propane in terms of btu efficiency. It's my understanding that there is a difference between the two, so that a device rated at one btu output will actually produce less depending on which fuel is used. Can anyone help? I can't...

    Gas Prices and the Government

    Given that the gas prices are what they are, should the government try to regulate the price of gas? Do we have a "right" to gasoline?

    Gas prices: Why our apathy now?

    Remember the last time gas prices *neared* $2 a gallon, but didn't reach that mark? Everyone got all up in the air. Even our representatives got involved and tried to investigate if it was price-gouging by the industry, or if it was necessitated by the foreign oil market. Remember? Now, gas...

    Gas Discharge Visualization

    I was disappointed to learn that the research project "Gas Discharge Visualization to Assess Bioenergy for Medical Applications" dealt with photographing auras. I thought the researcher might be developing alternatives to the standard method of visualizing "gas discharges", lighting them.
