Spectacular Photos of Hurricane Earl from Outer Space

Based on the Saffir-Simpson scale of 1-5, Hurricane Earl Uncategorized 4. H Doglas astronaut Wheelock post spectacular photographs taken by Hurricane Earl from the International Space Station in his / her account at the microblogging site, Twitter.

Col. Wheelock upload pictures storm - which by the television and the media portrayed as a frightening momentum of the storm.

Meteorologists United States (U.S.) has raised the category four Hurricane Earl - warning potential 'catastrophic damage' can occur when the storm crossed the Caribbean to the U.S. mainland.

Earl has swept northern areas Virgin Island Monday morning. On Tuesday, August 31 is expected to pass through the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Bahamas before heading to the U.S. east coast next week.

The Saffir-Simpson scale, from 1 to 5, which is used by the National Hurricane Center U.S. or U.S. National Hurricane Center - the category four Hurricane Earl is owned warning 'catastrophic damage could occur'. With a high risk of structural damage.

"It's very high risk, accidents and even death to humans, livestock, and pets due to building collapse or fall," the information the U.S. National Hurricane Center as the site loaded the Daily Telegraph, Tuesday, August 31, 2010.

Blows with the power of 215 kilometers per hour, heavy rains accompanied by Earl attack and big winds that stirred the eastern Caribbean Sea.

When moving to the northwest at 24 kilometers per hour, Hurricane Earl lowlands around the island, without making the landing.

This makes the previous warnings downgraded to a tropical storm warning for Puerto Rico, the United States and British Virgin Islands.

Earl storm strength could be stronger in the next few days. This was conveyed by monitoring the storm center.

Apparently, Extinct Dinosaurs Attacked Two Meteorite

Recent studies show that destroyed the lives of dinosaurs 65 million years ago caused by a beating at least two meteorites. Until now, scientists consider a single meteorite collision that destroyed them.

Previously, scientists have identified a large crater in the Gulf of Mexico as destructive events for the dinosaurs. Now the evidence has been found both in the Ukraine. This raises the possibility that Earth may have again bombarded by meteorites.

These new findings published in the journal Geology by Professor David Jolley of the University of Aberdeen.

When first proposed in 1980, the idea that meteorite impacts have killed the dinosaurs are still highly controversial. Then, the discovery of Chicxulub crater in the Gulf of Mexico, the United States, is considered a shot that justifies the theory.

The second discovery of the crater showed that the dinosaurs became extinct is driven by the collision of two times a meteorite, not a single attack.

Boltysh crater in the Ukraine were first reported in 2002. However, until now not clearly related to the time of the Chicxulub Crater.

In that study, scientists examined pollen and spores from plant fossils in layers of mud that fills the crater. They found, after the collision, the fern quickly meet the landscape.

Fern has a remarkable ability to bounce back after a disaster. Management layer of fern spores is considered a good indication of the impact of past events.

However, there was an unexpected discovery there. They found a second layer of ferns in one-meter layer above the first. It shows the impact of events before the collision.

Professor Simon Kelley of the Open University, another writer in the study, said, "We interpret this as the second layer after the Chicxulub impact crater."
This suggests that the Chicxulub Crater Boltysh and does not occur at the same time. They are separate layers for thousands of years seen from these two ferns. (* / BBC/OL-5)

Amazing, giant explosion in the galaxy M87

United States Space Agency (NASA) released a picture eruption 'mountain giants' in the large galaxy M87 - based on satellite observations, NASA, Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Very Large Array (VLA) of the National Science Foundation (NSF). 

The incident was observed from the amazing distance of about 50 million light years. Although different galaxies, M87 is relatively close to Earth and there is at the center of the Virgo cluster - which consists of thousands of galaxies. 

M87 cluster surrounding hot gas filled in the form of X-ray beam - detected by the Chandra satellite in blue. As this gas cools, it could fall into the center of the galaxy - and then continues to cool rapidly and form new stars. 

Meanwhile, the VLA radio observations (red) shows the M87 jet is the energetic particles produced by black holes (black hole) that interrupts this process. 

This beam is relatively cold gas lift near the galactic center and produce a shock wave in the atmosphere of the galaxy - because his strength is supersonic. 

Interaction of 'explosion' in the cosmic galaxy environment is very similar to the eruption in Iceland Eyjafjallajökull this happened in 2010. 

In Eyjafjallajökull, pockets of hot gas that exploded on the surface of lava produces shock waves that can be seen through the gray smoke of the volcano. 

This hot gas then rises into the atmosphere, which also dragged the dark ash. 

This process can be seen in movies about volcanoes Eyjafjallajökull where the smoke propagating shock wave, followed by the emergence of dark clouds of ash into the atmosphere. These clouds disrupt European aviation. 

In Eyjafjallajökull analogy, these particles of energy generated around the emergence of a black hole through the X-ray emitting cluster atmospheres - raised the most cold gas near the center of M87. 

This is similar to volcanic gases heat up the dark cloud containing particles of ash. And like a volcano on Earth, a shock wave can be seen as a black hole (black hole) pump energy particles into the cluster gas.

Objects thrown in Cirebon Meteor New Type?

 Cirebon-Indonesian citizens, Wednesday night, August 18, 2010, was startled by an object dropped from the sky misterus. National Aeronautics and Space Institute has not verify it as a meteorite. This is because the material is different from the usual meteorites. 

Objects found in the form of a melt and burn when he fell. This happens only once. 

"Items found at the scene of the melt and burn when it fell. Only once this happens like that," the researchers said Lapan, Thomas Djamaludin. 

National Aeronautics and Space Institute also received information from the surrounding community who watched, it glided back to Earth with such light is burning out. Light, said Knopf, seen by the people who are quite distant locations. 

"From the testimony of the community, when slid down, it can be seen from the people who were three miles from the scene," he said. 

According to Knopf, has been found in meteorites that fell to earth does not exist in the form of a melt, usually in the form of solid or ice. 

"If the meteorite, which is common for this is in the form of iron, rock, a mixture of iron and rock, and the most rare is the ice," he said. "The meteorite in the form of ice is very rare because it melts before reaching the earth." 

Thus, he said, Lapan can not conclude whether the objects that fall in Cirebon was indeed a meteor. Lapan, said Knopf, still need time to examine the elements contained therein. "It should be further analyzed to determine its chemical composition and object is what from where," he said. 

On location, objects falling from the sky was a hole about one meter in diameter and cause a stinging smell of sulfur. It was melting so menghujam ground, and thunderous noise.

This month, Three Planets emerging

August was a good time for astronomical observers, especially those who love observing celestial bodies around the Earth. Because, in this month a lot of scenery space that can be enjoyed and studied.

In the next few days, three of the brightest planets in the Milky Way can be seen directly from Earth. Planet Venus, Mars, and Saturn can be seen as they approached each other.

As quoted from Space.com page, on the night of 7 and 8 August when the U.S., these three planets will be only five degrees apart from each other and can be witnessed in the western sky after sunset.

The best scenery of the three planets can only be seen 60 to 90 minutes after sunset before they will be increasingly drowned and no longer in the top horizon.

Together they will form a triangle formation. For amateur observers, the following trick to identify each planet. Venus is the largest and brightest planet than Mars and Saturn. The planet Saturn will be located right next to Venus, with a yellowish color. Then, Planet Mars will be above the planet, emitting a reddish color.

Moon will participate enliven the scenery of this universe on August 12 evening until late August 13. At that time, in the form of crescent Moon will be on the left side of Venus with Mars and Saturn above them on the underside. And do not forget that Mercury will be living under the earlier set of celestial bodies. All will gather in the western horizon.

Two of the first week in August to be a good time to see Mercury, the planet is relatively unexplored. On August 12, the Moon looks much thinner, will be on top of Mercury.

Finally, on August 27, Moon in the form of nearly full moon will be located below Jupiter, king of the planet. At that time, look into the eastern sky begins at 9 tonight.

The Secret Behind Jupiter's Giant Size

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. 120 times the size of Earth. However, recent measurements by the spacecraft reveal the planet's core at most 10 times the size of the planet we inhabit.

Recent studies found that about Jupiter, the giant planet has a core of very small compared with the size. Scientists believe, so the planet Jupiter, the largest in the Milky Way Galaxy because he swallowed the other small planets, before the swell.

As disclosed in the site of science, New Scientist, the core of Jupiter thought to have greater evaporation in a collision with a planet the size 10 times the size of Earth. This study provides new insight into a process that is fierce in the early formation of our solar system.

Researchers from Peking University, China has to imitate what might happen in the event that the collision. The simulation results show, rocky planets closer to Jupiter will be demolished as it hit the giant planet's atmosphere.

Half an hour later, the planet would fall into the core of Jupiter. Heavy elements in the core as the metal will evaporate and then mixed with hydrogen and helium in the atmosphere of Jupiter.Scientists believe this may explain why the core of Jupiter is very small but extremely dense atmosphere.

Douglas Lin of the University of California, said that while the smaller planet does not bump into him, Jupiter will continue to grow into a giant planet itself.

The research team said, elements in the planet Saturn may also be caused by something similar, a collision with a smaller planet.

The planets in our solar system created by collisions between dwarf planets that orbit the Sun, who was also born. In the process the impact, small planets to melt and form planets is greater.

Earth and Moon are the result of a collision between two giant planets about the size of Mars and Venus.

Collision process occurs in less than 24 hours, and the temperature of the earth at that time was very high, around 7000 degrees Celsius, where rock and metal can be melted.

Mars Approach to Earth August 27, Really ?

Lately, the news circulating on the internet that Mars will be closer to Earth on August 27th. It is said that visits to the direct eye, the red planet will look at the full moon from Earth.

At that time, Earth seemed to have two months.

The message that this is not the first time in circulation. The same message has been outstanding in 2004 and then - in the email format - titled 'Mars Spectacular' which is sent by an anonymous source. However, no mention in what year, the momentum of August 27th it will happen.

This news spread rapidly through cyberspace. Fill in the email, on August 27th Mars will be closer to Earth, only within a range of 34.65 miles (55 million kilometers), rare events that happened in the last 60,000 years.

Besides the appearance of Mars for the appearance of the Moon, the planet approaches the Earth's gravity will cause problems on Earth, creating problems that interfere with the tide.

Fortunately the approach of Mars to Earth news is false news. According to a spokesman for Scienceworks Planetarium, Rohan Astley, email continues to circulate the same every year, approaching the Month in August.

He added, did Mars ever closer to Earth, but not this year.

"Mars is ever closer to Earth in August 2003, but the appearance of the red planet was only clearly visible through a telescope, not with the direct eye," the page is loaded News.com.au, Monday, August 9, 2010.

As the page loaded Space, August 27th is meant by the email, is August 27, 2003, when Mars closer to Earth within 55.7 million kilometers.

Hubble telescope when it was perpetuating the image of the Mars spectacular. But then, with the seen direct eye, Mars looked no more than just the bright orange star, did not look like a full moon.

This year 2010, Mars will appear small, not like the appearance in 2003.

The appearance of 'Bull's Eyes' on Mars

Images 'bull eyes' post was taken by the HiRISE camera on the orbiting satellite

An appearance of 'bull's eye' on Mars sent to Earth from the camera's high-tech U.S. space agency, NASA's orbiting the red planet.

Photos unusual crater was taken by a camera High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) is mounted on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter satellite.

NASA released this photo recently. Although the actual photographing Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's unique crater on July 9, 2010 last. Its location at 46.6 degrees latitude and 194.9 degrees east longitude on the surface of Mars.

Now the task of scientists to uncover what exactly is causing the bulge in the center of the crater on Mars.

Whether it is a product of the layer below the surface of Mars or created due to the impact of collision.

"Collision on Mars could result from the material layer is strong or weak, for instance rich with no non-ice-ice-rich, resulting in a terracing, as seen between the holes inside and outside," wrote Sarah Milkovich, HiRISE science team member at the University of Arizona, like a loaded Space.

Previously, scientists have examined the terraced craters to estimate the thickness of lava flows on the Moon and in several other places.

"Sublimation is equitable and periglacial erosion of ice-rich material is open on the inside of the crater may explain why relatively few bumps it off, not right in the middle, from the terrace and the edge of a larger crater," writes Milkovich.

Bulge in the middle of the crater 'bull eyes' can also be explained by the theory that it was the impact of collision.

Previously, HiRISE reveals the appearance of the face of Mars taken by Viking 1 satellite owned by the United States on July 25, 1976. The appearance sparked thousands of conspiracy theories.

HiRISE shows a human face on Mars is a large rock in the middle of the desert.

HiRISE images are images generated from the nearest object was phenomenal. HiRISE images taken from the Reconnaissance satellite orbiting 300 miles above Mars - much closer than the position in 1976, 1873 miles.

Solar storm effects for Earth

The threat of 'tsunami sun' who had preached against the earth crowded nil. There was no tsunami or storm the sun on Tuesday, August 3, 2010.

Research Professor of Astronomy National Aeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan), Thomas Djamaluddin, say, a tsunami if the sun, will not adversely affect the earth. Tsunami affects only the sun around the point of explosion.

That allow an impact on the earth is the solar storm. IBHS if the burst of large-scale solar masses and towards the earth.

Research based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), sponsored by the United States space agency, NASA, solar storms occur when it comes up flares or large explosions in the atmosphere of the sun with its super high.

Solar storms can cause power stepping up to billions of watts of electricity. When it comes to the earth, its emission will affect the earth's magnetic field which in turn have an impact on satellite systems, electricity, and radio frequency. Earth at risk of losing electrical power.

Is the usual cycle of solar storms that occur every 11 years. However, this cycle is expected to reach its peak in 2012-2013.

Based on these predictions, a number of space agency has tried to prepare a number of strategies to cope with the storm the sun. Strategies to anticipate the loss of electric power, satellite, and radio frequency that sustains the life of today's modern society.

Solar storm ever hit the earth on 1 September 1859. However, at that time did not really impact because life in those days, electricity has not been sustained.

The threat of potential solar storm that struck the earth in 2012 is the time to reinforce the myth about the end of the world or the end of 2010. A myth is not enough scientific evidence to be trusted.

Martian life, Find The proof is in Nili Fossae

Nili Fossae formation on Mars have preliminary evidence that save life on Earth.

Search other life in outer space now leads to two places. First, Titan. Satellite of Saturn that has a lake of methane and ethane, and Enceladus, the water vapors - conditions like a place you can live a life.

The seond focus point to Mars, which is closest to Earth. Therefore, the red planet has a deposit of sulphate. On Earth, sulfate is the storage location of ancient organisms.

 

It is probable, sulphates on Mars also keeps a track record of life, just as on Earth.

As the site loaded the Christian Science Monitor (CSM), on Mars there are locations that are rich in minerals known as Nili Fossae.

This allegedly is the main location of the search traces of ancient life on Mars that may exist about four million billion years ago.

 

In his study, scientists using NASA satellite instruments, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter to study the clay carbonate rocks on the surface of Mars. Layer was allegedly an ancient Martian era relic that is also called Noachian Period.

 

The scientists did not conclude that the Nili Fossae is actual proof of the existence of living beings on Mars. Only becomes possible.

"We think, of hydrothermal activity in Nili Fossae provide energy for biological activity on Mars in the early days," said the creature seekers scientists ekstraterresterial Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute (SETI), Adrian Brown.

 

These findings will be described in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.

Brown and colleagues studied the hydrothermal formation of clay-carbonate rocks in the Nili Fossae region on Mars.

 

Their results indicate there are similarities between the formation of carbonate rocks in the Nili Fosae with traces of early life on Earth, and biological, particularly in Western Australia.

Nili Fossae region similar to the condition of East Pilbara in Western Australia - which stores the evidence of early life on Earth.

"In this article, we discuss the potential of Archean volcanic in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia as an analogue for the Noachian Nili fossae on Mars," said Brown.

"They indicate the existence of biomarkers - or proof of the existence of living organisms."

Nili Fossae is one of seven candidates for unmanned landing sites of NASA, Mars Science Laboratory, in the following missions.

"Alien pelted My House with Meteor"

Two years ago, recognizing this man became a sensation in a number of international media. Radivoje Lajic - Bosnia is a man - suddenly famous in 2008 after claiming that the roof of his house in the village of Gornji Lajici, Bosnia, hit by a meteorite.

As quoted from the page of the Daily Telegraph, the events of 2008 was not the first event. Previously, was sentenced to four times the home Lajic celestial bodies that are not burning the atmosphere.

Now, in a matter of months, the space rock hit his house again, making the roof of the house has six times Lajic hit "meteor strike" since 2007.

A number of experts at Belgrade University confirmed that the rocks are submitted Lajic on the scientists they are true meteorite.

Teams of scientists are trying to analyze why the stones were targeting the house Lajic. According Lajic, space rocks that always falls during heavy rain, never happen when the sky is clear.

Lajic course had his own explanation. After the fifth stone hit her house, she said, "Obviously I became a target aliens. I do not know where that interfere with their actions, but there is no reasonable explanation."

"Chance was hit by a meteorite is very small, but I was sentenced to six meteorites," he said.

Male 50 years old and it even had to install steel roof to protect his home. Funds to install the protector was obtained from one meteorite to sell a university in the Netherlands.

"I believe I be subjected to an alien," he added. "They want to play with me. For some reason they do this. When it rains, I always worried about an attack," said Lajic.

Meteor crash in Central Cricket Match

Marszel January (51) and Richard Haynes (52) saw a meteor crashed in the field cricket. 

Two spectators cricket in Sussex, England did not expect to see a rare event. Marszel January (51) and Richard Haynes (52) saw a meteor crashed in the field cricket. 

As reported by Telegraph.co.uk July 27, 2010 edition, had crossed the stone meteorites and witnessed two cricket spectators who were watching the game. 

Meteorite measuring about 5 inches long believed that 4.5 billion years old. We fell and menghujam soil, stones broken into two parts. 

"We were sitting near the border fence. All of a sudden, we saw a small dark object heading our way. Stone was broken into two parts. One toward my chest, another one toward the barrier," said IT consultant who is also Marszel. 

It landed only about two feet from where Marszel. The couple finally decided to keep two parts of the meteorite to disimpang as historical mementos. 

Haynes, who is also a retired did not expect what he saw. We look to the sky, he saw a black object pass in front of him. 

"At the same time we looked up. We saw a black object in our direction. But we do not know what it is," said Haynes. 

He saw himself the object came from the sky. They believed the stone was not a fraudulent act that throws people. 

"We see a stone meteorite from the sky, and directly menghujam ground. That's really a meteorite," he said. 

Dr Matthew Genge, an expert on meteorites from Imperial College, London said, "If it proved to be a meteorite, then this is a very rare occurrence," said Genge. 

According to him, this incident is very interesting. "If proven, this became the first meteorite in Ingrris since 1992. It was a secret formation of our solar system.

UFO 'visit' to the A Resort in Malaysia UFO 'visit' to the A Resort in Malaysia

Guests and employees at Tuaran Beach Resort, panicked when he saw a strange object in the sky.

Events mysterious flying object sightings (UFO) re-occur.

This time, guests and employees at Tuaran Beach Resort beach resort near Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia, claims to have seen strange objects in the sky.

The incident reported by the tabloid Daily Metro newspaper, quoted by The Star, Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Metro Daily and even the mysterious object image display on the front cover even a blur.

One of the guests, Jemas Dungil, 27 years, said she heard someone screaming when she saw a circle shaped object flying in the sky and bluish.

"We went out into the hall to see what happened, and I saw the object such as disc-shaped blue circle in the sky. The color changed to green a few seconds later," said Jemas.

Despite seeing his own event and trying to record it, Jemas not believe it was a UFO flying objects.

"But what I've seen very unusual because it happened right in front of my eyes," said Jemas.

Several other guests and resort employees also claimed it had seen the flying object said the object floating in the sky for several minutes before vanished.

Some people even say that their cell phone "dead" when they are trying to record object.

Another eyewitness, Donny Benedict, 29 years, initially did not believe in the existence of UFOs. However, she changed her mind while watching his own mysterious flying objects.

"It's weird because it does not remove the object noise like a regular aircraft," he said, expressing regret for not recording the incident.

UFO phenomenon recently even had time to disrupt flights in China.

Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, China was closed on Wednesday, July 7, 2010. The reason is, there is a mysterious celestial sightings, UFOs (Unidentified Flying Object).

China's, hide Facts Mysterious UFO

On Wednesday, July 7th, 2010 at 20:40 local time, Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, China was suddenly closed. The reason is, there is a mysterious celestial sightings, UFOs (Unidentified Flying Object).

Airport officials immediately canceled some scheduled flights and divert aircraft to Xiaoshan, Ningbo airport in Zhejiang Province and Wuxi in Jiangsu Province. Reported 18 flights disrupted.

However, until Friday, July 16, 2010 the government of China still keep what these UFO sightings - although previously circulated information the authorities would give details Friday (16 / 7).

The appearance of bright objects like comets in the Xiaoshan International Airport became a hot debate on the internet. People tried to explain the strange phenomenon, with each version.

Speculation is circulating in cyberspace mentioned, it is alleged UFO bomber United States, the Russian satellite, or a new missile that China tested.

A resident, Ma Shijun successfully capturing a mysterious object that when he looked up into the sky at around 20:30 local time.

"I feel faint light hovering above my head. We looked up, I saw a beam of bright white light flying in the sky. I hurried and took a picture of the camera," he said, told Xinhua.

"Is it a plane or a UFO, I do not know for sure," he said, such as pages loaded myfoxchattanooga.com.

Earlier, an anonymous source told the China Daily said the authorities had to disassemble the mystery of the UFO sightings, after conducting a series of investigations.

However, the results of that investigation will not be announced to the public. The data is still confidential, because it has something to do with military interests.

Astronomers China: UFO Will Come in 2011

"There are 2.5 billion planets in the Milky Way galaxy, so maybe there is life out there."

Astronomers from China, Wang Sichao predict the arrival of extraterrestrials or Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) in two years, 2011 or 2012.

Wang is also an expert small planets out of this speculative post some reports sightings of strange objects in the sky or some regions in China such as Zhejiang, Hunan, Chongqing and Xinjiang since last month.

Based on the fact that Wang's statement, "The existence of 2.5 billion planets - including our Milky Way galaxy, it is possible there is life and there-tech civilization."

"Between Earth and outer space was a new civilization in the primary stage approach," added Wang.

Statement renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking last April that the arrival of the Alien will adversely affect human Wang argued. He said, is still too early to make conclusions.

Wang urged the scientists to design and create a more technologically advanced telescopes - to observe the strange flying objects that appear suddenly. Sometimes in just seconds.

China never commotion by the appearance of a mysterious object Wednesday, July 7, 2010 evening. The appearance of bright light that could even interfere with the flight. It was alleged UFO.

Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, China, was closed for several hours.

Not sure what exactly it is, but MIT weapons expert, Geoffrey Forden said luminous object was supposed to be China's ballistic missiles. Meanwhile, experts concluded that China's ordinary aircraft.

Earlier, on Sunday, April 18, 2010 night, sightings of mysterious bright objects visible in Chengdu.

Bright object that had stopped, hung in the air for several minutes. Then, suddenly, he moves with a speed slower than normal aircraft. At around 20:51. Witnesses said Zhang, the object disappeared.

Findings superstar Threatens Black Hole Theory

A neutron star with strong magnetic fields and stellar evolution theory threatens the birth of black holes (black holes). 

Magnetar is located in the cluster of stars, a distance of Westerlund 1 16 000 light years from Earth, precisely in the constellation Ara, the Altar. 

Westerlund 1 was discovered in 1961 by Swedish astronomer. Westerlund 1 is one of the largest star clusters in the Milky Way - consisted of hundreds of massive stars - among them shine with the brilliance of nearly a million times the Sun. Some stars even 2000 times the size of the diameter of the Sun. 

In the standard universe, the cluster is still a very young age. The stars were born in a single event, approximately 3.5 million to 5 million years ago. 

Westerlund 1 is the remains of some galactic magnetar - a certain type of neutron star formed from a supernova explosion - which could use a million magnetic fields, billions of times stronger than Earth's. 

Westerlund star who eventually became the magnetar must have at least 40 times the mass of the Sun. Thus according to a study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. 

Several questions then arise. The main assumption is that the star evolved between 10 and 25 solar masses will form neutron stars. 

Meanwhile, the star of over 25 times the mass of the Sun will produce a black hole (black hole) - gravitational monster that is formed when a dying star, then collapses in on itself. 

According to this assumption, the parent magnetar should have become a black hole - because of their large size. 

But according to scientists, there are alternatives. That the stars 'worn at the edges' to the lower masses, enabling him to be a neutron star. 

How did that happen? The answer, the report said, lies in the binary system: a magnetar birth of stars and other stellar companion. 

When developed, they began to interact, like the evil twin - the companion star's mass theft of his ancestors. Until finally exploding into a supernova star ancestors. 

In theory, this pair apart by the blast and the two stars were ejected from the cluster, leaving only remnants of a magnetar incandescent. 

"If true, this indicates that the binary system may play a key role in the evolution of stars," said Simon Clark, who led the team. 

The scientists used the European Southern Observatory telescope at the Paranal, Chile, to make observations. 

This binary system can be described as "cosmic diet plan''for the heavyweight star, which could lose more than 95 percent of their initial mass," he said. (Telegraph)

British UFO Large 20 Times Square Ball

British Archives Agency reopened thousands of files about the sighting mysterious objects in the sky aka Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), Thursday, August 5, 2010.

One of them is the mysterious appearance of a giant plane that big time football field '20 'on the Manchester Airport, England, in January 1995.

Sightings were reported eyewitnesses to the local military. Remarkably, the same day, British Airways reported its aircraft pilot 'almost misses' when he tried to land a Boeing 737 on the runway. This is a Defense Department investigation materials.

Other reports suggested, the appearance of a cigar-like object above Februiari Lancashire in 1977, and in October 1980, two police officers on patrol at RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, saw a strange object that shines from within the forest.

"Description of the object, metallic in color, and form a triangle. This thing emits white light into the surrounding forests," the report, as published pages of The Sun.

One of the most interesting statement of concern is the decision of former British prime minister Winston Churchill who deliberately kept the incident 'meeting' between the UFO with the RAF's bombers over England waters.

In a secret document revealed today, Churchill argued, he did not want people to panic and lose his religious beliefs.

Churchill issued a decision on the sidelines of a secret meeting with the commander of allied forces, General Dwight Eisenhower at an undisclosed location in the United States.

***

The file also mentions that yesterday revealed UFO sightings in UK in the 1950s got a serious response, even discussed by high-level intelligence official.

The author of 'The UFO Files' and senior journalism lecturer from Sheffield Hallam University, said, at the dates on which the file was opened yesterday was a time when interest in the paranormal world reaches its peak.

Moreover, sustained by a sort of sci-fi movie 'The X Files' and 'Independence Day'.

Meanwhile, Nick Pope, former British Defense Ministry officials who handle UFO files say, how much confidence a person of the existence of UFOs, there are facts that must be considered.

"The majority of UFO sighting reports are misidentification things, such as aircraft lights or a meteor. However, a small portion of the report can not be explained until now," he said, such as the Daily Telegraph published.

Impressions Meteor Crash in Indonesia

Meteor in Bone, Indonesia

On Thursday (8 / 10), residents of Bone, South Sulawesi, was startled by the sound of an explosion in which several witnesses had seen the object emitting fire and smoke in the air.

Meteor's explosion worldwide scientific attention. The explosion triggered a large asteroid was even reported to be detected by the infrasonic alarm belongs to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization (CNTBTO), a distance of 10,000 km from the location of the fall of meteorites.

In fact, this explosion was detected by the sensor which is devoted CNTBTO detect the activity or nuclear explosion on earth. The explosion was very surprising astronomers world. Because, they did not detect the existence of this asteroid before striking the earth.

This meteor hit the earth's diameter of 15 to 20 miles above the earth and crashed in the waters of the Gulf of Bone, South Sulawesi, 10 meters in diameter. According to NASA meteor explosion Bone strength three times a Hiroshima atomic bomb.

While the Bureau of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG) IV Makassar had claimed to have been a small earthquake of 1.9 on the Richter Scale (SR) on the surface at the border of Bone and Wajo, where in areas where Sa `Fracture trial.

Meteor is meteoroids falling into the path of the earth atmosphere, commonly referred to as star shit. Fairway is caused by the heat generated by the pressure, not by the shift, as is generally assumed before this, when meteoroids enter the atmosphere. Meteors are very bright, brighter than Venus sighting, may be called a bolide.

If a meteoroids do not burn out on its way in the atmosphere and reaches Earth's surface, the resulting object is called a meteorite. Menghentam earth meteors or other objects can form a crater.

Space explorer satellite owned United States Space Agency (NASA), the Messenger, taking pictures of Earth orbiting the Moon.
Photos black background filled with dots and white dots were taken from a distance of 114 million miles from Earth.

In the picture it looks like the Earth and Moon 'twin stars' - where the moon of course is smaller than Earth. Stunning photographs that illustrate how small we are compared to the universe.

These extraordinary images were taken in the Messenger mission to find vulcanoid - small rocky objects that scientists believed to be in orbit between Mercury and the Sun.

However, although there was no detectable vulcanoid, rocket Messenger was in a unique position to seek a small and dim objects that previously could not have predicted.

Messenger looking for vulcanoids when the orbit plane closest to the Sun. Messenger follows the contours of the inner solar system, including the Earth, Venus, and Mercury.

Messenger by using the gravity of Earth and Venus will gradually change its orbit before moving to Mercury's orbit in March 2011.

Pekanbaru, Indonesia, visited by UFOs Similar Things (2007).

Doris, to see objects on Saturday night at around 19:00 pm, he stood in front of the terrace of his house, and accidentally saw something that at first he thought the star. But after a long note, the object is not a star nor a plane that was aired in the evening. Out of curiosity, Doris was immediately called his family and the people around and take the initiative by capturing the object using a camera.

UFO sightings in Porong, Indonesia

The day was dated June 27, 1977 at 18:15 pm, Dr. Ir. Abdulkadir Aryono along with two colleagues each Rudianto Ramelan Ir and Ir. Ananda Soeyoso was traveling from Surabaya to Malang direction. The sky filled with bright red sunset because the sun had just sunk. Suddenly, somewhere, in between Gempol Porong, one of whom view the heavenly bodies is of interest to the west of the highway. Dr. Ariono who are basically happy to observe such phenomena, celestial bodies thought it was a meteor. Soon he was out of the car while preparing to shoot a photo tools this meteor. Photographed twice. All of a sudden surprising thing happened. Celestial bodies had turned sharply almost ninety degrees to the south, leaving a trail that look like sparks in the eyes.

UFOs in The Offshore Cilamaya, West Java, Indonesia

It was about 15:00 o'clock, Ir. Tony Hartono unwind Rusman was, after lunch at Quarters Platform on the third floor of the tower complex offshore oil drilling in oil fields Arjuna, 83 km from the coast cilamaya, Karawang, West Java. Suddenly Tony's attention drawn to the black dot above the horizon toward the oil fields with an oval shape and dark red. At a distance of about 10 km, it turned sharply and away again, making the track like a boomerang. In the distance, the object rose vertically upward and disappeared from sight. Tony's time was bearing an Olympus camera, and he quickly set up and aimed at the object that appears no more than one minute. At first Tony was not aware that the objects in the picture it is a UFO. After the film is washed, it was seen UFOs over the oil tanker Arco Arjuna, who has since become famous throughout the world.

UFO sightings on Mount Agung, Bali, Indonesia, 1973.

The first UFO photo above Indonesia made by Japanese tourists, Ryo Terumoto, on August 17, 1973. Around 14:00 o'clock noon, the car he was taking pictures of Mount Agung in Bali.

After his picture printed, he was surprised to see there is a disc-shaped object hovering in front of the volcano. When photographing he did not notice it. Photograph later published in the magazine Hito to Nippon (The Japan) published in March 1974 with the title "Fly on Top Plate Bali?"

Cosmic Collisions : The Birth of Galaxies

If we can create a time machine so that the accelerator could see the future, we will all witness the colossal events that occurred in front of our eyes. Milky Way galaxy, where the sun and the planet we are, will collide with the Andromeda galaxy, the Milky Way galaxy closest neighbors.

Milky Way Andromeda flying at speeds approaching 300 000 miles per hour, 100 times faster than a bullet shot at high speed. When colliding, Andromeda Milky Way galaxy will change us forever.

Millions of stars will be ejected from its orbit. Space dust and gas clouds will collide in between. Because so hard collisions, born millions of new stars. Processes that occur over hundreds of millions of years it will tear the structure of these two giant galaxies.

It was concluded by astronomers at the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space United States, NASA, after years of observing space objects that bring them to the theory of birth and death of a galaxy.

Milky Way and Andromeda

Milky Way is a galaxy that is home to our sun and planet-planet or what is often called the solar system. The galaxy has a diameter of 100 thousand light years. A light-year is a measure of distance equal to the distance traveled by light moving at 300 thousand miles per hour in one year. If the whole mass of existing stars in the Milky Way are added, the mass of the Milky Way itself will be equal to 750 billions, a trillion times the mass of the sun.

By using radio waves, astronomical investigations on the distribution of hydrogen clouds in space reveal information that the Milky Way galaxy is a spiral-shaped. Therefore, its mass is mostly in the whirlpool galaxy itself. For convenience, the shape of this galaxy can be imagined like a bowsprit cakes sold in traditional markets in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, the Andromeda galaxy is the largest galaxies nearest the Milky Way galaxy. Andromeda's first recorded as a "little cloud" by the Persian astronomer Abd-al-called Rahman al-Sufi in about the year 905. Then, nationality Bavarian astronomer, Simon Marius, finding this galaxy and record the findings in 1612. Without knowing the discovery of al-Sufi, and Marius, and then confirmed by the presence of Andromeda bebepapa world's astronomers in the following years.

Andromeda galaxy is classified as a giant galaxy because it has a diameter of about 200 thousand light years, or two times bigger than the Milky Way galaxy. Andromeda has a mass of 300 to 400 billion times the mass of the sun. Typical round shape and large size makes it easy to galaxies observed even in moderate condition and the sky using a simple telescope.

Galaxy Evolution

Using the Hubble telescope located at an altitude of 612 km from the earth's surface and 28 000 km per hour speed around the Earth, NASA astronomers watched at any time, based constellations constellations were formed.

Because it takes light from a light source which is the object space through the Hubble telescope arrived in the mirror, every photo shoot that made the Hubble images record the actual events of the past, not current events.

At the beginning of the formation of the universe, galaxies collided with another galaxy ten times more frequently than the collision of galaxies in the present. This conclusion was made based on astronomical observations as follows.

Collection of stars that formed 12.6 billion years ago show the young stars who gathered at certain locations in space. Observations on a collection of stars at the age of the universe that is younger, which is about 9 billion years ago, shows the galaxies which "bubbles" without regular shape.

Finally, the observation of the universe that is relatively older, or about 5.3 billion years ago, showed groups of stars with a far more obvious forms such as spiral plate when they collide with each other.

Sometimes galaxies collide in groups of two or three galaxies. This collides group will merge into one large galaxy. The discovery was later incorporated into a simulation that provides a surprising conclusion: galaxies form through the collision process. Antargalaksi collision process that continues until today.

Two galaxies collide

What menyebkan two galaxies collide? The simple answer to this question the force of gravity. As formulated by Isaac Newton, physicist who was born on January 4, 1643 in Lincolnshire, London, England, every celestial body will experience a tensile force draw with another celestial body.

This law is known as Newton's law of gravity. The amount of gravitational force between two celestial bodies will be directly proportional to both mass and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the two bodies. However, when compared with the three other known natural forces in the universe such as the electromagnetic force, weak and strong nuclear force, gravity is the force of the weakest among the four styles.

If two galaxies are close enough from each other, gravity will pull them closer to each other. Like the Milky Way galaxy and Andromeda galaxy, the gravitational force both will bring these two galaxies are approaching.

When collide, the sun and our solar system do not collide with another star, but will "sail" without being influenced by the situations around through the galaxy that is changing shape.

If the sun is proportional to the size of a grain of sand on the beach attached to the soles of our feet, we had to walk about two miles before the next meeting of sand grains, ie the star Alpha Centauri.

When two galaxies collide, the stars will be passed. We can imagine this process with the condition of the car on the highway. If a moving car approaching corners, these cars will run one after another without having collided with another car.
