Ron Paul News MajorGeeks.com La velocidad a la que se mueven todas las cosas que nos rodean (y nosotros mismos) Nunca estamos quietos. Incluso cuando queremos estar quietos, el mundo se mueve. De hecho, todos nos movemos a tales velocidades que dejamos en ridículo cualquier montaña rusa del mundo. Aunque suene inverosímil, el planeta Tierra rota sobre sí misma a 1.000 kilómetros por hora. Pero esto sólo se cumple en las personas que viven hacia la latitud en que se encuentran los países Mediterráneos. Pero no acaba aquí nuestro viaje a toda pastilla por el universo. La Tierra se desplaza en el espacio alrededor del Sol. A su vez, el Sol no se está quietecito. Pero esta velocidad va incrementándose, como si cayéramos por una pendiente. ¿Hacia dónde vamos tan disparados como una flecha? Esta masa a la que nos dirigimos todos es Acuario. Así pues, la velocidad final a la que nos movemos es 1.400.000 kilómetros por hora. Más información | Biology Cabinet
My Way earth John Baez June 26, 2009 The prospect of human-induced climate change has many people worried. Besides the sheer scale of the problem, there is also the challenge of complexity. Luckily, in the past decade we have learned a vast amount about this history. The Birth of the Moon The Sun was probably formed from the gravitational collapse of a cloud of gas and dust. When the center of this disk became dense enough for its pressure to hold itself up, our Sun was born as a "protostar". Some dust circling the early Sun got hot and melted, and some of the molten droplets later froze into "chondrules" — millimeter-sized spheres of simple minerals such as pyroxene and olivine, which are mostly made of sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, silicon and oxygen. The dust circling the early Sun started forming lumps called "planetesimals". The Earth's history is divided into four eons: Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic and Phanerozoic. Back to the Hadean. The result is a very bad day. Snowball Earth
