There is evidence of Earth's Early Life On the Moon


Knowing how life began on planet Earth is one of the main targets of science. A number of researchers from England have a new theory. They believe the key to the mysteries of early life forms on Earth would be in the month.

Researchers say, the stones that come from the planet Earth was thrown to the moon when the Earth and asteroids bombarded the inner planets (planets closest to the sun) others.

For information, about 4 billion years ago, there was a meteor shower phenomenon known as the Late Heavy bombardment. At that time, the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are bombarded by thousands of asteroids and meteorites that hit the surface of the planet.

Terrible phenomenon that lasted for 300 million years that have diverse effects on planets when it was young, one of which is hurling billions of tons of material from the surface of the planet into space.

In the case of Earth, most of the material is likely to make it to the moon. This hypothesis is very plausible, given at the south pole of the Earth have found a proven meteorite came from Mars.

Therefore, it is possible to assume that the inner planets exchanging material as Late Heavy bombardment. Similarly, the Earth and Moon are also mutual exchange of material.

According to some experts from the University of London Birkbeck College School of Earth Sciences, Earth's material that has landed on the Moon with a smooth making it possible biological markers remain stored properly.

Quoted from Softpedia, a research team headed by Ian Crawford and Emily Baldwin said biological signs that it will not be able to survive on Earth because of the large meteor impact, erosion caused by wind and rain, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and mastery of habitat by other living species.

In a number of computer simulations, the team showed a piece of material that bounced in the direction of the Moon due to asteroid impact on Earth would have landed on the lunar surface with a speed of 2.5 kilometers per second or less. With temperatures on the Moon, no part of the material that is close to the peak pressure that resulted in the melted material.

Unfortunately, this new theory has not been proven scientifically to return humans to go to the moon, collect rock samples from several locations, and brought back to Earth for analysis in depth. However, such research would give us tremendous knowledge of the history of life on planet Earth.

The mystery of the Twin Crater on Mars


Spacecraft's HiRISE Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) record and attached twin craters on the surface of Mars is about the same width.

This led to speculation how the two craters can be formed demikain. One hypothesis to unravel the mystery crater is the twin Mars meteorite hit by two space sekaligus.Wahana HiRISE Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) record and attached twin craters on the surface of Mars is about the same width.

"If a collision occurs one by one, a new crater on the crater of the old. But it is very symmetrical, so they created at the same time, "said Ian O'Neill, Discovery News contributor.

The question is, how it happened? Initially it was probably just a meteor, but then split into two when entering the Martian atmosphere. Incidentally, the two halves were roughly the same size and fall in a very close, even side by side.

Recorded on the HiRISE Web site when asteroids and comets can be divided into two when it goes into the atmosphere of a planet. Asteroid Itokawa, which is visited by Hayabusa, the spacecraft's Japan, has two parts.

Mars not only had two twin craters, but also have triplets crater. However, this triplet crater does not look as clear as two twin craters. "Maybe because the crater is older and has been eroded," said O'Neill.

However, what exactly triggers the formation of two twin craters are still a mystery until now.

The formation process of the Moon is a very admirable 4 Billion Years Ago


The theory of 'Giant Impact' is a hypothesis how the process of formation of the moon. Scientists theorize, the Moon formed by joining the pieces of the Earth is broken when it collided with a young celestial bodies the size of the planet Mars.

Any evidence supporting this hypothesis are examples of rocks taken by astronauts during a visit to the Moon. Of rocks, indicated that the Moon's surface before it is liquid and the possibility of having a small core of iron with a lower density than the Earth.

The celestial objects hit the Earth known as Theia, named after the Greek goddess, who is the mother of Selene, goddess of the Moon.

According to the Giant Impact theory, Theia formed along with lainnay planets in the solar system some 4.6 billion years ago. He circled the Sun in roughly the same orbit with Earth about 60 degrees ahead or behind the Earth.

Stability in circling the Earth and then disrupted because of Theia and grow beyond the maximum limit of 10 percent the mass of planet Earth. As a result, the force of gravity makes Theia abandon positions and close to the Earth's orbit and collide with each other.

According to astronomers, a collision between Earth and Theia took place around 4.53 billion years ago, or about 30 to 50 million years after solar system formation. However, from recent evidence, indicated that the collision took place more slowly, which is 4.48 billion years ago.

Record telescope intergalactic collisions



Spitzer Space Telescope and Galaxy Evolution Explorer spacecraft (GALEX) managed to capture the image of intergalactic collision from start to finish. Researchers Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who did this observation, Lauranne Lanz, presented the image of the American Society Meeting in Boston.
Record Telescope 1623109620X310 intergalactic collision

Two colliding galaxies are NGC 935 and IC 1801. Observational astronomers showed that when two galaxies collide and form larger galaxies, destruction spurred the formation of gas and dust clouds. Furthermore, collisions will spur the formation of more stars.

"This image is the first step to know the story of how galaxies form, evolve, and evolve," said Lanz. According to him, this picture gives a better understanding of what might happen when the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies collide 5 billion years.

In image retrieval, GALEX ultraviolet rays emit a role to portray the young stars in blue. While the Spitzer telescope which emits infrared light illuminates the heated dust in red. Alloys are two tools that generate rich data.

Lanz said that in every collision of galaxies, the resulting number of stars will vary. Now, he is examining the factors that influence the variation. Lanz also worked hard to test understanding. "Our understanding will really be tested again at 5 billion years the Milky Way had crashed," said Lanz.

The risk of getting Scary Black Holes


Black hole capable of swallowing a variety of celestial bodies. The more he swallowed, the greater the power hisapnya. But the risk is not just that.

Black hole is a region of space that can swallow gas, dust, stars, planets, and other celestial bodies that exist in a galaxy. Its gravitational pull is very strong. A planet passing in the vicinity will not survive the suction hole.
1617722 Risk Menakkutkan Kian Black Holes

Many astronomers are increasingly worried about illegal activities will be able to swallow the planet Earth. So what makes a black hole can suck objects around space?

Actually there are theories that say, the suction power of a black hole could be weakened and he will go to sleep phase, stop eating celestial body. According to George Helou, from NASA's Spitzer Science Center at the California Institute of Technology, a black hole in our galaxy is currently in a phase of sleep.

Black hole called Sagittarius A is located in the center of the Milky Way. Scherbakov, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics said the black hole in the Milky Way takes only 0.01% of stars around it.

But now researchers have also discovered a fact, black holes constantly evolving, so that they can be active again someday. The more he swallows the stars, the sooner the process of evolution.

According to data obtained from space telescope, over the last few years, a growing number of black holes swallowing the celestial bodies. In addition, it is said that the more he sucked celestial body, the greater the power sedotnya. This is because the increase in ion elements in it.

However, not only evolve, later also known that black holes exist in many galaxies are also joined to each other. Various celestial bodies that enter the black hole contains a lot of energy in large quantities.

So the combination of black antarlubang would also increase the amount of energy. It can control the energy flow in and out of gas and dust out of the hole.

Not only dust and gas, astronomers believe that a black hole sucking too many emit X-rays and radioactive waves. However, the amount of radiation they observed X-ray can not be explained. Clearly, all of which affect the development of the galaxy where the black hole where it is located.

Understand the process, the workings and evolution of black holes is important to explain the formation of the Milky Way and the integrity of the earth in the future. Study the interaction of intergalactic radiation and can make us aware of the magnitude of the gravity field, magnetic force, and the process of black hole radiation.

"We have studied the data from the Hubble space for several years, and found that the faster the black hole devouring material space, the higher the ionization power," said David Ballantyne, assistant professor of physics Georgia Institute of Technology.

Space physicists do not currently have an adequate explanation about the suction power of black holes and how to grow or what makes a particular black hole stops growing. But clearly, the black hole and the disc will affect the surrounding celestial objects.

"Sucking on a celestial black hole releases a lot of energy. Not only radiation, but also the gases released until well into the outer galaxy. This gas will change the location of stars, and stop the development of galaxies, "Ballantyne said.

"The black hole suction still continue to be studied. There is a growing and some are dead. Studying is important to know the shape and change the composition of our galaxy, "Ballantyne added.

Black hole is sucking celestial body. Earth at risk of being swallowed by it. But the risk was not only that. Gas is ejected from it can make a celestial body shifts, and even possibly crash.

In the Light of the Moon Aurora explosion


Aurora borealis is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena on Earth. Record its beauty with the camera, much less under the full moon light, the light is not easy because the aurora borealis will be "lost" by the moon.
Explosion 0940102620X310 Aurora In Light of the Moon

However, a German photographer Kerstin Langenberger managed to do it. In the photo, aurora borealis visible light in the moon light, as if these phenomena appear in broad daylight.

Langenberger managed to take pictures after waiting for 300 hours to wait for a phenomenon that appears. He said, "Aurora must be very bright to be visible when there is the Moon. It's rare that a picture like this is very rare. "

Photo Langenberger successfully reveals the beauty of Thingvellir National Park, where an image into one of the UNESCO world heritage site. In the photo, the aurora appears as a burst of light green and purple.

Aurora found in the Arctic and south poles of Earth. Aurora is found in the north pole is called Aurora Borealis, or Northern Light as that encountered in the south pole is called Aurora Australis.

This phenomenon occurs due to charged particles from the Sun is delivered to the Earth. Particles are attracted by the Earth's magnetic field, releasing energy to produce light in a layer of the ionosphere.

Sudden appearance. Langenberger must arrive at the site during the day so they can prepare all the tools to take pictures. In the evening, he must patiently await the coming aurora.

"The difficulty is knowing where and what kind of aurora appeared later. For a long time, nothing happened and can only wait. However, the sudden explosion of the night sky has auroras, "said Langenberger.

Langenberger said, "aurora explosion usually last up to several minutes, then he would disappear. Aurora may appear again, but could not. No one knows the future. "

Aurora is not only able to appear on Earth. Hubble Space Telescope have captured the phenomenon of the aurora on Jupiter and Saturn, even in the Jupiter satellite Io, Europa and Ganymede. Uranus and Neptune also has an aurora were reported.

Roads Escaped From Blackhole Found


A very hot element has been detected by a gamma ray observatory Integral owned by European Space Agency, in a millisecond before he plunged into the middle of nowhere in the black hole (black hole).

These findings reveal the presence of a magnetic field structure that provides an opportunity for these particles escape being sucked by a black hole.

Illustration: The magnetic field center of particle ejects
that would fall into a black hole Cygnus X1.

From the observations, several hundred kilometers from the central black hole, the space around an area full of particles and radiation storms. Comprising a giant storm of particles falling into a black hole at near the speed of light. As a result, the temperature rose to number millions of degrees Celsius.

Generally, it takes only a millisecond for the particles to reach that point. But now astronomers have found that the turbulent region that also has a magnetic field that provides a way out for the inhaled particles.

"The findings of the polarized emission from the jet black hole is a unique discovery," said Christoph Winkler, ESA Integral Project Scientist, as quoted from Cosmosmagazine. "This is the first time identified a magnetic field is very close to the black hole," he said.

The invention itself begins when Philippe Laurent, head of the research team from the Institute for Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe (IRFU) in France was observing black hole Cygnus X-1.

At that time, Laurent and his colleagues saw that he was gnawing a star that is nearby and "eat" the star's gas.

From the evidence they found, it was revealed that the magnetic field is strong enough to grab some particles of the gravitational force's giant black hole and threw him out, creating a burst of particles into free space.

"We need to use almost all the observations have been made by the Integral of Cygnus X-1 to perform this detection," said Laurent. "We do not know exactly how the fall is converted into particle jets.

There is still much debate going on among the observers, and further research will help to make conclusions, "said Laurent.

Prior to this, spray around the black hole was captured by radio telescopes, but such observations can not see the black hole in sufficient detail to determine how close the black hole was the source of bursts. "This makes the integral become very valuable research," said Laurent.

Wind Damage Claims In The Galaxy


Infrared observatory Herschel space belongs to the European Space Agency (ESA) has detected the movement of wind consisting of gas molecules flowing away from the galaxy.

The wind which had been followed for years is thought to have enough power to destroy galaxies consisting of gas and halt star formation early on.
Winds cause damage to the 110 729 300 225 galaxies Wind Damage Claims In The Galaxy

Herschel detected the wind is incredible. Much blowing hard, with a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per second. Wind is 10 thousand times faster than the storms that blow in the Earth.

"This is the first time that such molecular gas flow can be clearly observed in a galaxy," said Echard Sturm, researchers from the Max-Planck Institute, who chaired the study, as quoted by the Daily Galaxy.

This finding, Sturm said, is important because stars form from molecular gas. While this wind flow steal the galaxy's materials needed to make new stars. "If hembusannya strong enough, they can even stop the total star formation," he said.

"With Herschel, we can now study what effect the wind was against the evolution of galaxies," said Sturm.

Of research, concluded that up to 1,200 times the mass of our sun is lost every year due to the devastating winds.

The amount is equal to the depletion of the galaxy's gas supply for star forming between one and 100 million years into the future. In fact, the disruption of star formation have adverse effects on galaxies.

The wind itself could be caused by particles and the expenditure of intense light of a new star or by shock waves can also be derived from an old stellar explosions.

Alternatively, the wind can be triggered by radiation caused by substances that are spinning around the black hole, in the center of the galaxy.

Eye holes Air Colors Changed Since the coin toss



Several decades, these holes become the most popular attraction in the Morning Glory Pool, Wyoming, USA. New trends, visitors throw coins in the hole for good luck.
Hole 1403002 Spring Colors Changed Since the coin toss

Previously, this natural hot springs just have the typical blue color. However, now there are also dark green, yellow and red around the eyes water. While the display is changed by way of amazing, the reason is not all that interesting.

Tourists for decades, throw a coin into the pond for good luck. However, the coin was apparently blocked heat vents and reduce the temperature of the pool there.

At the same time, the chemical reaction causes the different coins and growing the bacteria. Next came the algae that gives the green color.

Algae are photosynthetic and thermophilic bacteria that can survive in temperatures 64 degrees Celsius to 107 degrees Celsius.

An information board is present across the pond who said that the region's glory has faded as people threw stones, bottles and cans blocking the heat vents on the bottom and destructive nature of the area.

"The bacteria that thrive in hot water begins to die and color fading. I feel very sad to see how humans destroy the natural beauty, "wrote an IT consultant, Arun Yenemula, who took the photo.

Well, Pollution Triggers Hypertension, danger danger danger.


Living in urban areas with high air pollution can trigger a rise in blood pressure or hypertension. Source pollution can come from motor vehicles, dust, or pollutants from power plants.

The researchers conducted a study of 5000 respondents. Analysis is performed by looking at the impact of air pollution on blood pressure.
most polluted cities in the world Russia's Norilsk Well, Pollution Triggers Hypertension
"Air pollution is not only trigger a heart attack and stroke, but also affects the occurrence of the disease process," said Dr. Barbara Hoffman, lead researcher.

High blood pressure is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries that causes heart disease and stroke. In the previous studies have found that increasing air pollution can increase blood pressure, but long-term effects are unknown.

High blood pressure is often referred to as a killer in disguise. Risk lies in the long-term damage caused by the disease. High blood pressure is a major cause of stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, dementia, and died young.

Cactus How to Purify Water?



In the hot desert in the U.S. and Mexico region, since the cactus plant used to be the savior of the rover. Cactus stems store water that is often used when someone runs out of stock drinks.

Apparently not only that cactus functions. Recent research suggests the best pure water contained in the prickly pear cactus. Researchers from the University of South Florida has been experimenting with extracting the sap, and add into the dirty water due to sediment and bacteria.

Sediment and bacteria cause the sap to join, then settle to the bottom and separate the 98% of bacteria in the water.

Researchers looked at communities in developing countries using the cactus in their daily lives. They used to boil the sap of a cactus to get the sap is then added to the water, just as the researchers.

If some of these problems can be solved, it is cheap and clean water that can reach millions of people who lack these resources.

Well, again we learn from nature about the purification of water, is not it?

Prediction astronomer, 2013 Natural Ice Age Earth Return


Earth is predicted to enter the 'Little Ice Age' or a new ice age in the coming years due to low solar activity, as expressed to the researchers.
Prediction astronomer, 2013 Natural Ice Age Earth Return

Phenomena on the sun spot activity, which followed each annual cycle, will peak in 2013, after which it will begin slightly reduced. But astronomers think the next hike will be less intense than normal, or could fail to happen at all.

Launched by the Telegraph, for decades, Europe experienced an extraordinary winter and very often, and when it came to be called 'Little Ice Age'. Although there is no conclusive evidence of the influence each other, many scientists believe that.

Sunspots are dark little hole in the sun's surface, caused by a small area of ​​strong magnetic activity that disrupts the normal flow of heated gas is intense.

When there are larger sunspots, the overall result of the sun, called solar radiation or total solar irradiance total (TSI) is also high.

Frank Hill, of the National Solar Observatory in New Mexico, who worked on one of the study, said, "The fact that there are three separate lines of evidence all pointing the same direction and very exciting."

But Joanna Haigh professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College London, said: "Global warming could override a cooling effect on Earth's climate."

During that time the temperature in northwestern Europe nearly 1 degree Celsius lower than normal, and about 0.5 degrees Celsius lower than the average global temperature.

However, he cautioned, "Even if the prediction is correct, the effects of global warming will exceed the ability of the sun to cool even in the cold scenarios. And in any case, there is only a temporary cooling effect. When solar activity returns to normal, then the greenhouse gas is not going away, "he said.

How Long After the Sun Can Survive




Anyone know how much longer can survive the sun shining on our planet?

How Long Age Sun?
Our own sun has undergone about half of his life and will fade.

Age of each star varies, depending on how large the size of the star. A Sun-like stars have a lifespan of about 10 billion years. The star that weighs 20 times more than the Sun, only lived about 10 million years.

As quoted from Life's Little Mysteries, February 10, 2011, the stars began life as a dense cloud of gas and dust. Once the star is formed, it burns hydrogen into helium.

After the hydrogen starts burning out, the next burning stage got under the burning helium into heavier elements.

If the star has a size that is not too large, or only several times the size of the Sun, the star will eventually become a white dwarf star, or so-called white dwarfs.

If the star has a much larger size, first of all he would burst into, and then burst back out in a supernova explosion. Then, what about our sun?

104 859 the evolution of the sun How Long After the Sun Can Survive

Using computer modeling technique called Stellar Evolution and Nucleocosmochronology, the Sun is also a star like other stars, is 4.57 billion years old. Currently, he is already running about half his life in which the current, nuclear fusion reactions in the core of the Sun converts hydrogen into helium.

Because the Sun does not have enough mass to explode as a supernova, within 5 billion years into the future, when hydrogen is exhausted her, she will become a red giant star and then will shrink.

Ancient lake in the Sahara Desert Bottom


Yes,. This was the insight that will open our eyes.
Knowledge is good for us to know, and deserve to be spelled out something amazing.

Lake below the Sahara desert,
An ancient lake that stretches along 350 kilometers under the sea of ​​sand found in the Sahara Desert, Egypt.

Geological expert Ted Maxwell of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington DC, tested the high-resolution images in southwestern Egypt were extracted using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) of NASA.
Eye of the Sahara 95 341 300 225 Lower Lake Ancient Sahara Desert
SRTM is a modified radar system, which is attached to the Space Shuttle Endeavour, which launched in February 2000. The system is able to identify an area in Tushka, where the water of the lake formed from the overflow of the Nile.

The lake is up about 250 thousand years ago, during a wet climatic period when the region was covered with grassland. At high tide, the lake has an area of ​​approximately 68 200 square kilometers. However, the lake dried up since 80 thousand years ago.

Broad estimates of the lake was probably going to explain how fish fossils from the last interglacial was found in Bir Tarfawi, about 400 kilometers west of the Nile. These fossils are also found at the northern end of the runoff channel Selima Oasis in Sudan.

Evidence for the mega-lake is detected in Chad, Sudan and Libya. Location of this ancient oasis could help explain the pattern of early human migration.

is no less amazing, that is the place like on other planets

Suspicious in the phenomenon of Moon Light

Gerhard Hüdepohl the care of photographs recording the image space at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to record the emission of green light from the Moon. Light is it?

1458438620X310 Fenomena Cahaya Mencurigakan Di Bulan
Gerhard managed to capture the phenomenon in an image consisting of several photos. He found a green glow on the moon when the morning was sunny conditions at Paranal Residencia.

Green light is actually not unusual. At Cerro Paranal, a mountain as high as 2,600 meters in the Atacama desert, Chile, the green light often seen in the Sun is going down. Photos Gerhard surprising because the phenomenon is usually found in the Sun are rare on the Moon.

The green light due to refraction of light by the atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere bend light. Greater deflection on atmospheric conditions are not too dense layers.

Light with shorter wavelengths than light been turned over to a longer wavelength.

At Gerhard position when taking a photo, the green light from the Sun or the Moon whose position is slightly higher than the orange and red light. In the right conditions, the green glow can be seen at the top of the sun or moon when near the horizon.
