Dipole Gravity
Newton assumes in his work that gravity is a monopole acting with equal force in all directions, regardless of intervening matter. These assumptions are central to his shell theorem which
Satellite Orbits
Wikipedia claims that satellite orbits verify Einstein’s formulas for time dilation because the exact time and position of satellites are continuously adjusted. Their article makes it

A Month in the Life of an Active Volcano
The La Palma volcano is in a constant state of flux. It started the month of November looking like this:
Its two main fissures were facing
Volcanic Plumes and Ash Clouds
The La Palma volcano hasn’t changed much since I last wrote about it. It continues to belch out lava and volcanic ash. From up close it looks no different from a week ago
A Low Plume on the La Palma Volcano
The La Palma volcano is still active, belching lava and big plumes of volcanic ash. However, the plumes are not as tall as they used to be
La Palma’s Ridge of Fire
The La Palma volcano is relatively small, yet full of energy, and it has a total of five vents, all strung out in a north to south line. This in itself, indicates that the volcano is
