Falling (sensation)
A sensation of falling occurs when the labyrinth or vestibular apparatus, a system of fluid-filled passages in the inner ear, detects changes in acceleration. This sensation can occur when a person begins to fall, which in terms of mechanics amounts to a sudden acceleration increase from zero to roughly 9.8 m/s2. If the body is in free fall (for example, during skydiving) with no other momenta (rotation, etc.) there is no falling sensation. This almost never occurs in real-life falling situations because when the faller leaves his support there are usually very significant quantities of residual momenta such as rotation and these momenta continue as the person falls, causing a sensation of dysphoria. The faller doesn't fall straight down but spins, flips, etc. due to these residual momenta and also due to the asymmetric forces of air resistance on his asymmetric body. While velocity continues to increase, the downward acceleration due to gravity remains constant and is not sensed. Increasing drag force may even cause a feeling of ascent.

Fiction
Nightshade (Dungeons & Dragons)
In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, the nightshade is a powerful undead creature composed of darkness and evil.
In Third Edition, nightshades are native to the Plane of Shadow.
Publication history
The nightshade was introduced to the D&D game in the basic edition of Dungeons & Dragons.
Dungeons & Dragons (1977-1999)
The nightcrawler nightshade, the nightwalker nightshade, and the nightwing nightshade first appear in the Dungeons & Dragons Master Rules (1985) in the Master DM's Book. They later appear in the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia (1991).
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition (1989-1999)
The nightcrawler nightshade, the nightwalker nightshade, and the nightwing nightshade appeared for the Mystara campaign setting in the Mystara Monstrous Compendium Appendix (1994).
Dungeons & Dragons 3.0 edition (2000-2002)
The nightcrawler nightshade, the nightwalker nightshade, and the nightwing nightshade appears in the Monster Manual for this edition (2000).
Nightshade (astronomy software)
Nightshade is a simulation and visualization software for teaching and exploring astronomy, Earth science, and related topics. Its primary purpose is for use in digital planetarium systems with additional features to allow it to also be used on desktop or laptop computers. It operates on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
Nightshade Legacy is the current stable release and is open source. With the codebase completely rewritten in Nightshade NG (Next Generation), licensing has changed from the GPL to the Nightshade Public License. The new one is a non-free license with field of use restrictions.
History
Beginning in 2003, Digitalis Education Solutions began contributing directly to Stellarium in an effort to bring planetarium specific features into the application. These features were added in an effort to provide low-cost digital projection systems into the market. For many years, Stellarium and Digitalis developers worked hand-in-hand, but changes to the Stellarium code regularly conflicted with the planetarium-specific features.
