These people might include, for instance, the readers of the publication and website Beer Advocate, who wrote in to rate the Top Beers on Planet Earth.
RadioAstron will also examine pulsars and the outer regions of spiral galaxies in order to get more precise measurements on their rate of rotation and distance from earth.
Further loss of Arctic ice will see radiation absorbed by darker seawater and snow-free land, potentially warming the Earth's climate at an even faster rate than current observational data indicates.
He was blessed with a first-rate intellect tempered with down-to-earth common sense.
Dr. JONATHAN OVERPECK (Geosciences, University of Arizona): It's going to come a rate much faster than plants and animals on Earth have ever seen in the time they've been on Earth.
By measuring the red-shift of the burst's light (something that depends on how fast it is receding from Earth, and thus because the universe is expanding at a uniform rate how far away it is), it is possible to work out how bright it really was.
The research team's temperature analysis showed that summer temperatures in the Arctic, in step with the reduced energy from the Sun (related to an approximately 21, 000-year cyclical wobble in Earth's tilt relative to the Sun), cooled at an average rate of about 0.2 degrees Celsius per thousand years.
CNN: Warmest Arctic temperatures for 2,000 years, says new study
So we can expect America's population to continue growing at close to the highest rate in the advanced industrial world while Europe remains among the most rapidly aging places on earth.
The high-resolution camera will offer a video image with a frame rate of 3.25 frames per second with a resolution that is comparable to much of Google Earth.
ENGADGET: UrtheCast to stream live HD footage of Earth from ISS, like Stickam for space
In 2000, when a Harvard Medical School professor working at the World Health Organization developed a complicated formula to rate the quality and fairness of national health care systems around the world, the richest nation on earth ranked thirty-seventh.
