ASOCIACIÓN DE VARIABILISTAS DE ESPAÑA Bienvenidos a la Página web de la Asociación de Variabilistas de España La Asociación de Variabilistas de España(A.V.E.), fundada en 1997, es una asociación sin ánimo de lucro dedicada al estudio y divulgación de las estrellas variables. Toda la información acerca de la web así como del mundo de las variables la obtendréis pinchando sobre los siguientes enlaces. Estas páginas están optimizadas para una resolución de 800x600 La AVE, cuenta con una lista de correo como foro de consulta y opinión para sus socios. No obstante, está abierta, también, a todos aquellos observadores de variables interesados en la misma. Se ha creado una nueva página web fruto de la colaboración entre la AVE y el GEA, puedes acceder desde este enlace a ella: AVE-GEA Para cualquier tipo de información acerca de la AVE mandar un correo electrónico a la atención de Miguel Regalado, Miquel.Regalado@uv.es.

NASA has slyly, or inadvertantly, let out a handful of clues that a planned news conference will reveal details of an important new finding regarding life on other planets. There have been a number of moments in the history of astrobiology where an important find has gotten us all very excited, including the discovery of isotopic profiles on a Mars rock (a meteorite) indicating a biological pathway, parallel findings on Mars, various discoveries related to water on Mars, and analysis of places like Europa and Titan, and so on. The word on the street is that this is going to be one such moment. The press conference is scheduled for 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2. Speculation based on who will be present at the press conference has suggested that this is a about Mars, or Titan, or Photosynthesis, or something. Specifically, NASA has said that they will discuss: “an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.”
Astronomy & Space Astronomy may well be the oldest science of all, seeking answers to questions such as: "Where did it all come from?" and "Are we alone?" But, today's astronomers are focusing on phenomena our forbearers never imagined—planets orbiting other stars, for example; black holes the size of our solar system; galaxies being driven apart by invisible "dark energy"; ripples in the fabric of space and time; and of course the big bang, where time itself began.

Seedbomb Plant Capsules by Hwang Jin wook, Jeon You ho, Han Kuk il & Kim Ji myung Yanko Design Bomberman Explodes Plants This title maybe misleading but the intention is pretty peaceful! Legend has it that after the World War II got over, American pilot Gale Halvorson airdropped candies in the name of hope, for the Berlin children. War equals devastation, so dropping candies instead of bombs was probably personal retribution. Inspired by this incident, designer Hwang Jin wook and pals have come up with a plan to combat deforestation and desertification of land in a similar fashion. Housed in biodegradable plastic, the artificial soil provides nourishment and moisture to the seed; till it grows out to be a strong enough plant to sustain itself. Sounds like Mission (im)Possible to me, however the logistics of desert environment and the kind of seeds to be dispersed will require a lot research and expertise from the botanists.

Introduction à l'astronomie et à l'astrophysique Air Force launches top-secret mini-space shuttle CAPE CANAVERAL -- An Atlas V rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Tuesday, hauling a unmanned military mini-shuttle on a top-secret mission. Cloud coverage in the area threatened to scrub the launch all day, but the weather cleared just enough for an on-time launch at 1:03 p.m. EST at Launch Complex 41. The Atlas rocket and its Centaur upper stage performed flawlessly through the first 17 minutes and 34 seconds. That's Standard Operating Procedure for classified military missions launched from Cape Canaveral. The launch of the X-37B was the first re-flight of one of the experimental spaceplanes. A second X-37B spacecraft launched in March 2011 and flew a 469-day mission. The X-37B is capable of autonomous atmospheric re-entry and landing, and the first two missions concluded on a runway at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Air Force officials say there is a chance the third mission will culminate with a landing on the shuttle runway at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
