Yes, it can be quite noisy, especially during high tides or storms when the sea crashes against the walls and buildings. The sound of waves hitting the seawall and the wind can create a constant roar. Despite the protective design, the noise from the ocean can still be significant in such an environment.
Danxia, the heart of Zhangye National Geopark, is renowned for its strikingly vibrant rock formations, which are smooth, sharply defined, and rise hundreds of meters high. These unique colors and shapes formed over 24 million years from layered deposits of sandstone and various minerals.

It's possible that the fireball could have been a fragment from a comet, but fireballs are more commonly associated with meteors or space debris. Comets are icy bodies that orbit the sun, and while they can leave trails of debris that Earth passes through, causing meteor showers, they usually don't create fireballs themselves unless a fragment of the comet breaks off and enters Earth’s atmosphere.
Yes, the Compaq Portable III (model 2660) indeed featured an orange plasma display, which was quite distinct for its time! This display type is known as a gas-plasma display and produces an orange or amber glow, which contrasts with the more common green and white phosphor screens of that era.
The orange color was a byproduct of the plasma technology, which worked by electrically exciting gas to produce light. This type of screen was advantageous because it offered a relatively high contrast, making text and simple graphics appear clearer than on the monochrome CRTs of that time.
