A S T R O L A B O . com | Yatoutskifo pour l'astro Les dix vortexs de notre planète Il y a déjà mille ans que les Japonais ont conscience de cette zone dangereuse. Elle sont appelés Main Umi : la Mer du Diable. Pendant des années les marins ont attribué les pertes de bateaux de pêche répétées à des démons marins, des dragons qui montent à la surface de l’océan pour entraîner les bateaux ainsi que leurs membres d’équipage dans les fond sous-marins. Le Triangle du Dragon suit une ligne qui va depuis l’ouest du Japon, au nord de Tokyo, jusqu’à la pointe du Pacifique et elle retourne par l’est, en passant par les Îles Ogasawara et Guam pour monter, de nouveau, vers le Japon. tout comme celui des Bermudes, il forme une zone triangulaire. world VORTEX Il s’agit d’une zone de grande activité séismique, avec un fonds marin dans lequel la transformation continue et tombes à 12.000 mètres de profondeur. Des îlots et des masses de terre émergent et disparaissent avant de pouvoir être dessinées sur des cartes. Il y aurais de nombreux témoins d’ovni dans cette zone du Pacifique. 1.
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.”

Detailed age map shows how Milky Way came together -- ScienceDaily Using colors to identify the approximate ages of more than 130,000 stars in the Milky Way's halo, Notre Dame astronomers have produced the clearest picture yet of how the galaxy formed more than 13.5 billion years ago. Astrophysicist Daniela Carollo, research assistant professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Notre Dame, and Timothy Beers, Notre Dame Chair of Astrophysics, along with research assistant professor Vinicius Placco and their colleagues published their findings in Nature Physics, including a chronographic (age) map that supports a hierarchical model of galaxy formation. That model, developed by theoreticians over the past few decades, suggests that the Milky Way formed by merging and accretion of small mini-halos containing stars and gas, and that the oldest of the Milky Way's stars are at the center of the galaxy and younger stars and galaxies merged with the Milky Way, drawn in by gravity over billions of years.
7 Space Simulators That Let You Explore the Universe Why should Mars rovers have all the fun? If you're tired of standing by while Curiosity rolls around up there, it's time to head out on the open exosphere and explore the universe for yourself — digitally, of course. SEE ALSO: 10 Must-Follow Tumblrs for Science Lovers A handful of excellent space simulators use real astronomical data to re-create the known universe in three dimensions. Fly through the galaxy at ludicrous speeds, map out humanity's best hope for extrasolar colonization, or mess with physics to create your own cosmic recipes. Some of these simulations stick to our own solar system, while others push the boundaries of our cosmological projections, procedurally generating star systems far beyond our galactic neighborhood. If you take any of these for a spin, let us know in the comments where you traveled.
Constellations disparues L'Abeille ( Apes )Cette constellation a subi plusieurs métamorphoses avant de disparaître. C'est l'astronome néerlandais Petrus Plancius qui, en 1612, permet à l'insecte de voler entre le Bélier et le Triangle. En 1624, Jakob Bartsch la transforme en Guêpe. Puis Johannes Hevelius en fait une Mouche (voir à ce nom).A noter que l'actuelle constellation australe de la Mouche s'est d'abord également appelée l'Abeille ! L'Aérostat ( Globus Aerostaticus ) Dessiné par l'astronome Joseph Jerôme Lefrançois de Lalande en 1798, cet aérostat a volé entre le Capricorne, le Microscope et le Poisson Austral. Antinoüs( Antinoüs )Cette constellation, que l'on trouve dans l'Almageste de Ptolémée, était étroitement associée à celle de l'Aigle, dont elle empruntait les étoiles australes.

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.

ESO France La recherche de planètes situées hors de notre Système Solaire s'impose comme l'un des piliers de ce qui est peut-être l'interrogation la plus fondamentale de l'humanité : y a-t-il de la vie ailleurs dans l'Univers ? Les observatoires de l'ESO sont équipés d'un arsenal unique d'instruments pour la recherche, l'étude et le suivi de ces planètes appelées « exoplanètes » ou planètes extrasolaires. Grâce au VLT, des astronomes ont été capables de détecter pour la première fois la faible lueur d'une planète extrasolaire, prenant ainsi la première photo d'une exoplanète. Ce nouveau monde est une planète géante, environ cinq fois plus massive que Jupiter. Cette observation constitue un premier pas majeur vers l'un des objectifs les plus importants de l'astrophysique du XXIe siècle : déterminer la structure physique et la composition chimique des planètes géantes et éventuellement, de planètes de type terrestre.Voir le communiqué de presse eso0507.
Exploriments: Weight, Mass and Force of Gravity - Effect of Altitude and Comparison across Multiple Planets on the App Store No One Wants to Live in My 'Elysium'-Style Simulation Orbital Space Colony They will also be a pain in the ass to run. And I speak from experience on this because I briefly governed my own orbital colony. My time in command did not end well. Joe Strout gave me the opportunity to fail. Strout, who describes himself as “space nut,” was a childhood member of the L5 Society, an organization dedicated to advancing technology essential for building and launching orbital space colonies in the L5 orbit. Strout wasn’’t cool with that so he started programming. Part 1: Building your colony You start out by choosing whether or not to create something in low Earth orbit (which is better protected from radiation damage) or high Earth orbit (from which materials can be important from the moon for cheap). Deciding between LEO and HEO. This last part is important — because it can potentially throw your entire design into disarray. Gravity can be incredibly difficult to recreate in space. Oh — and all this also affects your budget. And that’s just the exterior. What a kingdom
Back-to-back flybys: Asteroids buzz Earth - Technology & science - Space - Space.com Two small asteroids zipped close by Earth in back-to-back flybys of the planet Monday and Tuesday. While both space rocks came well within the moon's orbit, they posed no danger to our planet, NASA scientists say. The newfound asteroid 2012 KP24 zoomed by Earth Monday, coming within 32,000 miles (51,000 kilometers) on its closest approach, according to astronomers at NASA's Asteroid Watch at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "We'll have a close but very safe pass of asteroid 2012 KP24 May 28," scientists with NASA's Asteroid Watch program assured via Twitter. Asteroid Watch is part of the Near-Earth Object Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. The NEO office oversees the agency's efforts to detect, track and characterize potentially dangerous asteroids or comets that could zoom close to Earth. But this space rock is not the only one that paid a close visit to our planet this week.
