In December 1988, the second largest city in the republic, Leninakan ( now Gyumri ), was heavily damaged by a massive quake that killed more than 25, 000 people.

Averaging at least 1. 6 km thick, the ice is so massive that it has depressed the continental bedrock in some areas more than 2. 5 km below sea level ; subglacial lakes of liquid water also occur ( e. g., Lake Vostok ).

Both sexes have heavy spiral horns — those of the male are longer and more massive.

Males have massive backswept horns while females have smaller, thinner and more parallel horns.

They were partly correct: a white dwarf slightly more massive than the Chandrasekhar limit will collapse into a neutron star, which is itself stable because of the Pauli exclusion principle.

Theoretical models show that the CNO cycle is the dominant source of energy in stars more massive than about 1. 3 times the mass of the Sun.

For more massive stars, electron degeneracy pressure will not keep the iron core from collapsing to very great density, leading to formation of a neutron star, black hole, or, speculatively, a quark star.

Column elements are considered to be massive if minimal side dimension is equal or more than 400 mm.

It is an “ instrument of wholesale destruction, dependency and systematic exploitation producing distorted economies, socio-psychological disorientation, massive poverty and neocolonial dependency .” According to some Marxist historians, in all of the colonial countries ruled by Western European countries “ the natives were robbed of more than half their natural span of life by undernourishment ”.

Nonbaryonic dark matter is classified in terms of the mass of the particle ( s ) that is assumed to make it up, and / or the typical velocity dispersion of those particles ( since more massive particles move more slowly ).

Guided missile destroyers such as the Arleigh Burke class are actually larger and more heavily armed than most previous ships classified as guided missile cruisers, due to their massive size at long, displacement ( 9200 tons ) and armament of over 90 missiles.

Eritrea suffered from significant economic and social stress, including massive population displacement, reduced economic development, and one of Africa's more severe land mine problems.

For example, a compressed spring will be slightly more massive than before it was compressed.

This generalization reflects a sampling bias, as massive planets are more easily observed.

Some relatively lightweight exoplanets, only a few times more massive than Earth ( now known by the term Super-Earth ), are known as well ; statistical studies now indicate that they actually outnumber giant planets while recent discoveries have included Earth-sized and smaller planets and a handful that appear to exhibit other Earth-like properties.

All exoplanets that have been directly imaged are both large ( more massive than Jupiter ) and widely separated from their parent star.

However, this type of massive star eventually evolves into a cooler red giant which rotates more slowly and thus can be measured using the radial velocity method.

East St. Louis, sitting across the Mississippi River from the more prosperous St. Louis, Missouri, had entire neighborhoods burned out in 1976 during a massive urban fire.

The tendency of communism was far more greater and deeper in East Pakistan than the West, and had massive support in poor, working class, and peasant circles on the issues of Bengali nationalism and Bengali Language Movement.

The NSBO was completely suppressed and the DAF became little more than an arm of the state for the more efficient deployment and disciplining of labour to serve the needs of the regime, particularly its massive expansion of the arms industry.

The Eighth Army now enjoyed a massive superiority in material over the Axis forces: 1st Armoured Division had 173 tanks and more in reserve or transit, while Rommel possessed only 38 German tanks and 51 Italian tanks although his armoured units had some 100 tanks awaiting repair.

Stock footage of a massive Earthquake from The Mysterians was employed to make the earthquake caused by Kong and Godzilla's plummet into the ocean much more violent than the tame tremor seen in the Japanese version.

There is ample evidence that the intense radiation emitted by certain kinds of astronomical objects is due to black holes ; for example, microquasars and active galactic nuclei result from the presence of stellar black holes and black holes of a much more massive type, respectively.

Because of this Dr. Bonnor holds that the universe is becoming more thinly populated by stars and whatever else is there.

The Allmusic review by Marc Gilman awarded the album 4½ stars noting that " While some compositions retain their original structure and sound, some are expanded and probed by Zorn's arrangements, and resemble avant-garde classical music more than jazz.

A single constellation may contain fifty or more stars, but the Greek alphabet has only twenty-four letters ; when these ran out, Bayer began using lower-case Latin letters: hence s Carinae ( s of the Keel ) and d Centauri ( d of the Centaur ).

British general John Moore, who met Nelson in Naples at this time, described him as " covered with stars, medals and ribbons, more like a Prince of Opera than the Conqueror of the Nile.

Other images ( like the Hubble Deep Field – not pictured ) detect far more stars.

Comedy, unlike other film genres, puts much more focus on individual stars, with many former stand-up comic transitioning to the film industry due to their popularity.

Spin called it a " jaw-dropping act of artistic will and a fiery, proper follow-up to 1994 ’ s Live Through This " and awarded it eight out of ten stars, while Rolling Stone suggested that, " for people who enjoy watching celebrities fall apart, America's Sweetheart should be more fun than an Osbournes marathon.

Beginning with carbon, elements are produced in stars by buildup from alpha particles ( helium nuclei ), resulting in an alternatingly-larger abundance of elements with even atomic numbers ( these are also more stable ).

While it ’ s true that the top television and film actors have become movie and television stars, musicians and pop singers that become pop stars, or athletes that become sports stars often become celebrities, the other professionals that play a more peripheral role in the entertainment sphere, such as television, music, and film directors and producers, screenwriters, playwrights, and animators are less likely to attain celebrity status ( albeit there are some exceptions, such as directors Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino and animator Seth MacFarlane ).

The proton – proton chain is more important in stars the mass of the Sun or less.

It has more than 100 stars that range significantly in brightness.

It has more than 100 stars which do not vary widely in brightness, mostly being of the 15th and 16th magnitude.

When he shifted between the two images, a moving object, such as a planet, would appear to jump from one position to another, while the more distant objects such as stars would appear stationary.

For instance, galaxies contain more young stars and are less clustered, and quasars appear more numerous.

After the invention of the telescope, measurements were made by observing occultations of stars by the Moon, which allowed the derivation of more closely spaced and more accurate values for ΔT.

) The original Drake Equation can be extended to a more realistic model, where the equation uses not the number of stars that are forming now, but those that were forming several billion years ago.

Estimates of the frequency of systems strongly suggest that more than 50 % of Sun-like stars harbor at least one planet.

For example, if there is a triple star system in which two stars orbit each other closely while a third star is in a more distant orbit, the two closely orbiting stars would be considered a component with two subcomponents.
