Description
Original painting by Cheryle LL Gannaway (Morghaine's Faeries)
Doppler...the effect of something moving toward you sounding like it is moving at a higher frequency than when it's moving away from you. We've all experienced this with emergency vehicles massing us on the road. In the 1990s, we finally got a weather satellite in space that allowed us to track the movement of storms using the doppler effect. And we're still using it because it's an awesomely simple and elegant tool- like a knife in the kitchen. If you saw the movie _Twister_, you saw this doppler effect in action.
But this work isn't just on Earth. We use Doppler to see into the heavens- to see where we are in the heavens like a giant compass of the universe.
Thank you to the scientists across our beautiful globe that worked a science miracle for us all!
