Obviously (I think!) one lap of a standard athletics track is only 400m when you are in lane 1, the inside lane, how much further do you travel when doing a lap in lanes 2, 3, 4 etc., one lap being from the main start/finish line back to the main start/finish line i.e. without staggered starts?

I would like to primarily look at the moon, but seeing Jupiter (and its weather pattern), Saturn (and its moons), and mars (and its ice cap) would be nice too. Are the telescopes I mentioned above sufficient enough to see such celestial objects/details? I was debating between something like these two:

Or even a 127mm Maksutov, if the 90mm are not sufficient enough to see the celestial bodies and details I described above. Like this one:

The reason I choose these small compact scopes are because I would like to take it in a backpack w/ tripod to remote places. Please no suggestions on huge scopes!

Any other suggestions? Thank you very much.

Crayfish are so cool! But I can't find a narrow enough field guide that will cover them all. This one time when I was in Smoky Mountains I saw this bright orange-red one, it was literally as bright as a cartoon! I wonder what kind it was.

The area of a triangle with sides a, b and c can be expressed by
A = root{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} with s being half the perimeter.
A beautiful aspect of this formula is, that a, b and c can be exchanged cyclically.
Is there an similar formula for the volume of a tetrahedron with edges a, b, c, d, e en f?
V=Ah/3 is far from sufficient.

We all have them and most people believe dreams to be something meaningful. But why? How? Is it simply randomness filtering through our minds as we sleep? If so, why would we do it? Is it simply a glitch in our minds? People, help me out here!

I need to get a list of the foods that can help making serotonin.

I am already aware of the 5-htp is the precurser of the serotonin... so what I want to know is the food or vitamins that we can easily find and eat from out everyday lives.

I think someone said, the green salads and some fruits can help make me serotonin. Is it true?

What else do you recommend?

Thank you.
