Preliminary results from polarimetric studies indicate that the planet has predominately blue color, is 1.36 times as large and 0.74 times as massive as Jupiter, meaning that the mean density is 0.36g/cm3.
According to Brian Marsden of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, Mass., several of these distant objects, like Pluto, are locked into a so-called 3 2 resonance with the much more massive planet Neptune, meaning that they revolve twice about the Sun in stable orbits for each three revolutions of Neptune.
There has been an even more dramatic rise in the number of parental abductions to countries that have not ratified the 1980 Hague Convention on Child Abduction – a massive 39 per cent last year – meaning that it is all but impossible to get children back from countries such as Pakistan, India and Thailand.
This Roman Catholic country has one of Asia's fastest growing populations and a massive housing shortage – meaning that the urban poor must usually find, build or cobble together housing anywhere there is space: under bridges, along highways, in alleys, perched atop flood channels, or even among the dead.
Many have likened TEPCO's reports to BP's original assessment of their massive oil spill, meaning the effects of radiation may be much worse than expected.
Every observation will be a massive injection of meaning into your experience, no matter whether that meaning happens to be fake (as it was in the experiment) or not.
The first step we must take is reduction – meaning a massive discontinuation of objects designed for obsolescence.
Level 3 acts as both a backbone – meaning a massive, nationwide carrier of data – and a Content Delivery Network.
In 2005, astronomers found that HD 149026b's core is up to 90 times more massive than Earth's, meaning it must contain more heavy elements than exist in all the planets of our solar system.
To illuminate some of the mysteries around human-pathogen interactions, my institution, the University of California, Irvine, recently created a free MOOC (a Massive Open Online Course, meaning anyone with an Internet connection can enroll) on the Canvas Network to teach the world about parasitology and other scientific topics through the lens of vampires (yes, you read that right).
