Mother nature works in mysterious and marvelous ways. One of the most stunning examples of her work is the Firefall light phenomenon that can be viewed at Yosemite Park in California s Sierra Nevada Mountains. The natural light wonder occurs in February when the sun and water come together to create a mesmerizing light show that resembles lava flowing down the Horsetail Fall, over the Eastern edge of El Captain in Yosemite Valley. However, there s no guarantee that you will actually be able to witness Mother Nature s show. This small waterfall usually flows only during winter and can be easy to miss. Firefall only happens on evenings that have a clear sky when the waterfall is slow; any amount of haze or cloudiness can completely ruin the effect.
Istvan Dioszegi in 2014.
Istvan Dioszegi, a physicist in Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Nonproliferation & National Security (NNS) Department, died on Sept. 29, 2018. He was 64.
Dioszegi was active in experimental nuclear physics for more than three decades.
“One of the things I was most impressed by was the fact that he had to check everything,” said retired NNS physicist Peter Vanier. “He didn’t take anything at face value. Anything that anybody claimed, he’d go and check it himself and make sure that he believed in it. I think that’s a mark of a good scientist.”
This tendency carried the group’s work forward and his mathematical modeling made it more rigorous, Vanier said.
