[Q]: Information:  - 118401 LINEAR ( provisional designation 1999 RE70 ) is an asteroid and main - belt comet ( 176P/LINEAR ) that was discovered by the Lincoln Near - Earth Asteroid Research ( LINEAR ) 1 - metre telescopes in Socorro , New Mexico on September 7 , 1999 . ( 118401 ) LINEAR was discovered to be cometary on November 26 , 2005 , by Henry H. Hsieh and David C. Jewitt as part of the Hawaii Trails project using the Gemini North 8 - m telescope on Mauna Kea and was confirmed by the University of Hawaii 's 2.2 - m ( 88 - in ) telescope on December 24 -- 27 , 2005 , and Gemini on December 29 , 2005 . Observations using the Spitzer Space Telescope have resulted in an estimate of 4.0 ± 0.4 km for the diameter of ( 118401 ) LINEAR . The main - belt comets are unique in that they have flat ( within the plane of the planets ' orbits ) , approximately circular ( small eccentricity ) , asteroid - like orbits , and not the elongated , often tilted orbits characteristic of all other comets . Because ( 118401 ) LINEAR can generate a coma ( produced by vapour boiled off the comet ) , it must be an icy asteroid . When a typical comet approaches the Sun , its ice heats up and sublimates ( changes directly from ice to gas ) , venting gas and dust into space , creating a tail and giving the object a fuzzy appearance . Far from the Sun , sublimation stops , and the remaining ice stays frozen until the comet 's next pass close to the Sun. In contrast , objects in the asteroid belt have essentially circular orbits and are expected to be mostly baked dry of ice by their confinement to the inner Solar System ( see extinct comet ) . It is suggested that these main - belt asteroid - comets are evidence of a recent impact exposing an icy interior to solar radiation . A good question is , `` How long will current main - belt comets keep generating a coma ? '' It is estimated short - period comets remain active for about 10,000 years before having most of their ice sublimated away and going dormant . Four other objects are classified as both...  - Socorro is a city in Socorro County in the U.S. state of New Mexico. It is in the Rio Grande Valley at an elevation of . In 2012 the population was 8,906. It is the county seat of Socorro County. Socorro is located south of Albuquerque and north of Las Cruces.  - The Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project is a collaboration of the United States Air Force, NASA, and the MIT's Lincoln Laboratory for the systematic detection and tracking of near-Earth objects. LINEAR was responsible for the majority of asteroid discoveries from 1998 until it was overtaken by the Catalina Sky Survey in 2005. , LINEAR had detected 231,082 new small Solar System bodies, of which at least 2,423 were near-Earth asteroids and 279 were comets. The instruments used by the LINEAR program are located at Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site (ETS) on the White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) near Socorro, New Mexico.  - The Spitzer Space Telescope (SST), formerly the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF), is an infrared space telescope launched in 2003. It is the fourth and final of the NASA Great Observatories program.    What is the relationship between '118401 linear' and 'lincoln laboratory'?

[Q]: Information:  - Dalhousie is a hill station in Chamba district, in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is situated on 5 hills and has an elevation of 1,970 metres above sea level.  - Himachal Pradesh (literally "Snow-abode") is a state of India located in Northern India. It is bordered by Jammu and Kashmir on the north, Punjab and Chandigarh on the west, Haryana on the south-west, Uttarakhand on the south-east and by the Tibet Autonomous Region on the east. The name was coined from Sanskrit "him" 'snow' and "anchal" 'lap', by Acharya Diwakar Datt Sharma, one of the state's most eminent Sanskrit scholars.  - Chamba is the northwestern district of Himachal Pradesh, in India, with its headquarters in Chamba town. The towns of Dalhousie and Khajjhiar are popular hill stations and vacation spots for the people from the plains of northern India. Chamba is the only district in northern India to preserve a well-documented history from c. 500 AD. Its high mountain ranges have given it a sheltered position and helped in preserving its centuries-old relics and numerous inscriptions. The temples erected by rajas of Chamba more than a thousand years ago continue to be under worship and the land grant-deeds executed on copper plates by them continue to be valid under the law.  - Banikhet is located about seven kilometers from Dalhousie , India . Banikhet is an important place in Chamba district tourism . It is also known as the gateway of Chamba district . Transport is available for all major and minor tourist spots . Accommodation at low rates is also available . It is also known for the Historical Naag Mandir , Jawala Mata Mandir and Helipad .  - India, officially the Republic of India ("Bhrat Gaarjya"), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the southeast. It shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the northeast; and Myanmar (Burma) and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives. India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia. Its capital is New Delhi; other metropolises include Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad.  - A hill station is a town located at a higher elevation than the nearby plain or valley. The term was used mostly in colonial Asia, but also in Africa (albeit rarely), for towns founded by European colonial rulers as refuges from the summer heat, up where temperatures are cooler. In the Indian context most hill stations are at an altitude of approximately 1,000 to 2,500 metres (3,500 to 7,500 feet); very few are outside this range.    What is the relationship between 'banikhet' and 'himachal pradesh'?
