Moon & starry night "glow in the dark" (24pieces)

Phosphorescence is a special case of luminescence. It is the phenomenon that a substance continues to be imitated for a while after being exposed in the dark. The term means about lights as phosphorus. Now white phosphorus indeed gives light in the dark, but this substance is caused by oxidation reactions of the phosphorus with oxygen from the air (it can also ignite spontaneously), and the light has a different origin. Phosphorescence can also occur when bombarding such a material with accelerated electrons, such as in a cathode-ray tube. In the usual afterglowing substances it is a result of a slow fall of electrons excited by light. The fact that this happens slowly is because the relapse of the electrons to the ground state in quantum mechanics is a prohibited transition. When studying phosphorescence, Henri Becquerel discovered the phenomenon of radioactivity in 1896. The phenomenon of phosphorescence was supported when used in certain paint on the hands of some clocks or watches. Phosphorescence must be distinguished from fluorescence. In the case of fluorescence, no prohibited transition is involved in the return of the electrons, so that it will emit its light in a much shorter time.

The dinosaurs and dinosaurs (the first name is the correct translation of Dinosauria, the scientific name of the group) are a group of animals belonging to the Archosauria, which dates back to the Mesozoic. The Dinosauria originated about 230 million years ago in the Triassic, where the division within the wider group of dinosauriformes. The first dinosaur was a small bipedal carnivore. That was the direct ancestor of the two main groups in which all other dinosaurs can be divided: the Saurischia and Ornithischia. In these two groups quickly developed also herbivorous species. The dinosaurs were dominant at the end of the Triassic, when the country became extinct most other large animals. During the subsequent Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs were 140 million years, the dominant land animals, probably the greatest that ever lived. Thousands of species, carnivores and herbivores, developed in various forms, including by moving apart the continents. The marine reptiles of that time and the pterosaurs, flying reptiles, however, were not dinosaurs. At the end of the Cretaceous, 66 million years ago, most dinosaurs became extinct, possibly as a result of a meteorite impact. Living dinosaurs are the birds. Since 1808, in 1842 the extinct dinosaurs are scientifically described and the group got its name, meaning "fierce dinosaurs" means. Between 1870 and 1925 many dinosaur fossils were discovered, particularly in North America. Then the interest declined sharply since 1968 but there is just a substantial revival of the investigation, called "Dinosaur Renaissance". Especially in China and Argentina are hundreds of new species found. There are much improved insights gained about their relationships, structure and habits. Former popular science books on the subject will become totally obsolete. Because of the shape wealth of dinosaurs is to identify the typical characteristics of the group difficult. Not a particular characteristic makes an animal a dinosaur but the fact that he is a descendant of the first dinosaur. Apart from big dinosaurs were, and there are also quite small. Dinosaurs are reptiles and are at least partly scaly skin and reproduce by means of eggs. Unlike other reptiles present, the existing dinosaurs, birds, warm-blooded. Unknown and debatable to what extent the extinct dinosaurs were warm-blooded and possessed a plumage or coat. Small species of dinosaurs had, even if it were no birds, presumably a high metabolism and several of their fossils show the remains of feathers or hair. Most scientists now believe that all dinosaurs, even the largest, were fairly active animals instead of slow or cumbersome, which explains their evolutionary success.
