The TIMED (Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics) is an orbiter mission dedicated to study the dynamics of the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) portion of the Earth's atmosphere.
 The mission was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on December 7, 2001 aboard a Delta II rocket launch vehicle.
 The project is sponsored and managed by NASA, while the spacecraft was designed and assembled by the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University.
 The mission has been extended several times, and has now collected data over an entire solar cycle, which helps in its goal to differentiate the Sun's effects on the atmosphere from other effects.
Sweden has speed limits ranging from 30 km/h to 120 km/h (18 to 75 mph), where 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 km/h are used within towns and cities.
 Outside schools and hospitals the limit is often 30 km/h.
 70, 80, 90 and 100 km/h are mainly used outside built-up areas where the speed limit depends on the standard and safety of the road.
 90 and 100 km/h are used mainly on roads with separated lanes, however local exceptions may apply, mainly in northern Sweden, where 100 km/h (62 mph) is legal on roads with no separated lanes and where the standard of the road often is poor.
 The main reason for setting 100 km/h on these roads is because of their high importance to the region.
 Earlier it was permitted to drive 110 km/h (68 mph) on these roads but due to the poor standards the speed limit was lowered to 100 km/h in 2008.
A speed zone exists from Exit 1 to Exit 13 (Masan-Gimcheon).
 The maximum speed is 100 km/h, and the minimum speed is 50 km/h.
 Another speed zone exists from north of exit 13 to exit 28 (Gimcheon-N.
 Yeoju).
 The maximum speed limit is 110 km/h, and the minimum speed limit is 50 km/h.
The default speed limits in the Netherlands are 50 km/h (31 mph) inside built-up areas, 80 km/h (50 mph) outside built-up areas, 100 km/h (62 mph) on expressways ("autowegen"), and 130 km/h (81 mph) on motorways ("autosnelwegen").
 On September 1, 2012, the motorway default speed limit was raised from 120 km/h (75 mph) to 130 km/h (81 mph)
The mesosphere ( ; from Greek "mesos" "middle" and "sphaira" "sphere") is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the stratosphere and directly below the mesopause.
 In the mesosphere, temperature decreases as the altitude increases.
 The upper boundary of the mesosphere is the mesopause, which can be the coldest naturally occurring place on Earth with temperatures below -143 C .
 The exact upper and lower boundaries of the mesosphere vary with latitude and with season, but the lower boundary of the mesosphere is usually located at heights of about 50 km above the Earth's surface and the mesopause is usually at heights near 100 km , except at middle and high latitudes in summer where it descends to heights of about 85 km .
Juho Pekka Niemi (born "Yliniemi", 15 November 1909 – 21 December 1993) was a Finnish cross-country skier who competed at the 1936 Winter Olympics.
 He won a bronze medal in the 18 km event and placed eighth over 50 km.
 His biggest success came at the 1937 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, where he won a complete set of medals: a gold in the 50 km, a silver in the 4×10 km relay and a bronze in the 18 km.
 He also won the 50 km race at the 1938 Holmenkollen ski festival.
The Fast On-orbit Rapid Recording of Transient Events (FORTE, occasionally stylized as FORTÉ) is a lightweight satellite which was launched at about 8:30 AM on August 29, 1997 into a circular 800 km low Earth orbit which is inclined 70 degrees relative to the Earth's equator, using a Pegasus XL rocket.
 It was developed and launched by the Sandia National Laboratory in cooperation with Los Alamos National Laboratory, as a testbed for technologies applicable to U.S. nuclear detonation detection systems used to monitor compliance with arms control treaties, and later to study lightning from space.
 The project was sponsored by the United States Department of Energy, and cost about US$35 million.
 It utilizes optical sensors, RF sensors, and an "event classifier" in order to make observations, including monitoring Very High Frequency (VHF) lightning emissions in the ionosphere occurring from between 50 to above the surface of the Earth, and it will be a component of the VHF Global Lightning and Severe Storm Monitor (V-GLASS) system.
 Its primary mission is to record and analyze bursts of RF energy rising from the surface of the Earth.
 FORTE is 7 ft tall, weighs 470 lb , and is the first all-composite spacecraft, its framework being made entirely of graphite-reinforced epoxy.
 It consists of three decks with aluminum honeycomb cores, and composite facing to support the onboard instruments.
Cay Sal Bank (Spanish: "Placer de los Roques" ) is the third largest (after Great Bahama Bank and Little Bahama Bank) and the westernmost of the Bahama Banks.
 It is located between 23º27'N - 24º10'N and 079º25'W – 080º35'W.
 In a geographical sense, it is separate from the Bahamas proper as it is much closer to Cuba (from which it is separated by Nicholas Channel, at a distance of 50 km ) than to the closest Bahamanian island.
 It is separated by Santaren Channel from the Great Bahama Bank, the western rim of which is 50 km to the east.
 The Straits of Florida separate it from the United States mainland and the Florida Keys (Key Largo is 100 km to the north).
The Lake Saroma Ultramarathon is an annual 100 km and 50 km Ultramarathon foot road race held in June in the northeastern shore of Hokkaido, Japan since 1987.
 It is an IAU-labeled official 100 km and 50 km race, and an official JAAF race, and an AIMS (Association of International Marathons)-certified course.
 Its 1994 event was Asia's first IAU (International Association of Ultrarunners) 100 km World Championship, and its 20th event in 2005 was also held as the IAU 100 km Road World Championship.
Aiguebelle National Park "(French: Parc national d'Aiguebelle)" is a national park of Quebec, Canada.
 It is located in western Quebec in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region some 50 km north-east of Rouyn-Noranda, 50 km west of Amos, Quebec, 100 km north east of Val-d'Or, Quebec, and about 50 km due west of Lake Hebecourt.
 The park has a surface area of 268,3 km².
