Dro, Trentino
Dro (''Dró'' in local dialect) is a town and ''comune'' in Trentino in the northern Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. It sits in the deep Sarca river valley, and as of the 2021 census Dro had a population of 5,047. Dro is divided in two frazioni A ''frazione'' (: ''frazioni'') is a type of subdivision of a ''comune'' ('municipality') in Italy, often a small village or hamlet outside the main town. Most ''frazioni'' were created during the Fascist era (1922–1943) as a way to consolidat ..., Pietramurata and Ceniga. (PDF; 155 kB), retrieved on May 11, 2017.

Dielectric Resonator
A dielectric resonator is a piece of dielectric (Electrical conductor, nonconductive but Polarizability, polarizable) material, usually ceramic, that is designed to function as a resonator for radio waves, generally in the microwave and millimeter wave bands. The microwaves are confined inside the resonator material by the abrupt change in permittivity at the surface, and bounce back and forth between the sides. At certain frequencies, the resonant frequency, resonant frequencies, the microwaves form standing waves in the resonator, oscillating with large amplitudes. Dielectric resonators generally consist of a "puck" of ceramic that has a large dielectric constant and a low dissipation factor. The resonant frequency is determined by the overall physical dimensions of the resonator and the dielectric constant of the material. Dielectric resonators function similarly to cavity resonators, hollow metal boxes that are also widely used as resonators at microwave frequencies, except t ...

Darwin Reconnaissance Orbiter
''Alien Planet'' is a 2005 docufiction TV special created for the Discovery Channel. Based on the 1990 book '' Expedition'' by the artist and writer Wayne Barlowe, ''Alien Planet'' explores the imagined extraterrestrial life of the fictional planet Darwin IV in the style of a nature documentary. Although closely following Barlowe's depiction of Darwin IV, ''Alien Planet'' features a team of scientists and science fiction figures discussing Darwin IV as if it had actually been discovered. Among the people featured are Michio Kaku, Stephen Hawking, Jack Horner, James B. Garvin and George Lucas. ''Alien Planet'' garnered positive reviews as a thought-provoking programme, though some criticism was raised concerning the strange creatures featured, which some reviewers saw as bordering on implausible. Plot ''Alien Planet'' starts out with an unmanned interstellar spacecraft named '' Von Braun'', leaving Earth's orbit. Traveling at 20% the speed of light (37,000 miles/s), it reaches ...
