"WOBBLY MAGNETIC RECONNECTION SPEEDS UP ELECTRONS"

Scientists have discovered a missing piece in the puzzle of where high-energy particles in Earth's magnetosphere come from. Using data from ESA's Cluster mission, they found that magnetic reconnection can accelerate electrons to very high energies - as long as reconnection happens at a variable pace rather than steadily. The result will improve predictions of space weather, studies of fusion plasma, and the understanding of astrophysical environments affected by magnetic fields.

Most of the Universe is dark. The protons, neutrons and electrons that make up the stars, planets and us represent only a small fraction of the mass and energy of the Universe. The rest is dark and mysterious. X-rays can help reveal the secrets of this darkness. X-ray astrophysics is crucial to our understanding not only of the Universe we see, but the quest to determine the physics of everything.

When the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 was launched a few years ago, it created a worldwide sensation. With 16 cylinders oozing pure power, here is the faster car on Earth capable of hitting a top speed of 407 Km/hour. It was also a unique and stunning design from VW, owners of Bugatti.

Bugatti was founded by Ettore Bugatti, who was an Italian refugee depicted as an odd genius in Molsheim, France. The original corporation is celebrated for manufacturing a number of the most elite automobiles in the world, as well as a numbers of the quickest.

Bugatti’s original brand name did not succeed with the coming of the Second World War, like a lot of high-end marques at the time. At present, the name is possessed by the Volkswagen Group, which has restored it for the limited manufacture elite sports cars.

It carries on the name of racing driver Pierre Veyron, who, while racing for the original Bugatti car manufacturer, won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1939. It has the fastest acceleration speed, reaching 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.

Endowed with W16 engine-16 cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders fed by four turbochargers, a dual clutch DSG computer-controlled manual transmission, the Veyron has a length is 4462 mm (175.8 in) a wide of 1998 mm (78.7 in) and height of 1206 mm (47.5 in). Counting a sum of 10 radiators, for the engine cooling system, for transmission oil, a heat exchanger for the air to liquid inter coolers, for engine oil etc., the car has a power to weight ratio of 529 bhp/ tonne.

This super car can reach 200 and 300 km/h in 7.3 and respectively 16.7 seconds, being the quickest-accelerating production car in history. If we count the fact that the top speed Bugatti Veyron is 407.5 km/h, a speed limited electronically to prevent tire damage (it can run even faster) we can understand why this spectacular car must consume 40.4 L/100 km (4.82 mpg) when it’s running at top speed and in city driving 24.1 L/100 km.

The Bugatti Veyron costs atleast of $1,700,000. Not many can afford it and still fewer can drive it. Many new designs has been released since 2006,the color might have changed, but the speed and power remain the same.

Involved in the Mars 500 mission six members: three from Russia, two from the European Union, one from China.

A study published in the PNAS study results indicate that long-term space flight will give astronauts sleep difficult. Astronauts selected for interstellar voyage to Mars.

Mars 500 (Mars500) project is used to simulate the practical issues encountered in the real Mars mission. Mathias Basner, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania to participate in the Mars 500 project-related sleep. He said, to participate in future mission to Mars, astronauts must have the ability to maintain good sleep no diurnal cycles.

BBC news channel, he said: there is a great difference between individuals in the sleep rhythm, we have to do is pick those in long-term space flight environment but also to maintain good sleep, and strengthened for a Mars mission characteristics life training. "

Most of the time, the personnel involved in the Mars 500 project only in a limited way, and contact with the outside world. No windows, they JEM also provides for communication with the outside world to have a delay (in a real Mars mission, due to the distance between Earth and Mars is very far away, the propagation of radio signals also need ten minutes of the time).

Mars 500 project, nearly 100 experiments on human voyage to Mars. The sleep survey is given the conclusions of the first experiment. The researchers found that one completely lost the natural rhythm of day and night, his day became 25 hours. 12 days later, he completely lost synchronization with other staff time. If this kind of thing in real trip to Mars, it will disrupt the collaboration between the astronauts and affect the team's ability to cooperate, scientists must be addressed in the future.

NASA Kepler telescope observed an exoplanet, scientists say this is by far the discovery of the Earth-like extrasolar planet.

The existence of the planet has been confirmed, its radius is 1.5 times that of Earth, surrounded by a sun-like stars in stellar livable area. This means that the planet is likely similar to Earth's gravity and surface water resources, which gave birth to the first condition of extraterrestrial life.

The NASA astronomers Natalie - Tubbataha said: "This is very exciting, because this is the first medium that we found around sun-like stars super-Earth planet livable zone."

Fengyun terrestrial planets called "KOI 172.02", said Tubbataha Dr., this finding will potentially close to Earth-like planets beyond our solar system. Currently, the Kepler telescope data show that planets around the star KOI 172.02 run required 242 days a week, and the distance between the stars is three-quarters of the Earth-Sun distance.

U.S. Space Telescope Science Institute astrophysicist Mario - Livio said, this is a major discovery of the planet with the possibility of their birth.

The potential number of exoplanets Kepler mission has found up to 2740 are around 2036 stars. At the same time, in recent years, the probe found the size of the Earth's volume and the number of super-Earth planets gradually increased. Found that the number of planets the size of Earth's volume increased 43%, and increased by 21% the number of planets discovered a super-Earth planets.

California Institute of Technology planetary astronomer John - Johnson said: "If every star has a planet, our galaxy, there are hundreds of billions of planets in the vast majority of the planet around the star and the sun very different. Sometimes few planets will exist in a star system, for example, there are eight planets in the solar system. "

NASA confirmed that a half a football field-sized asteroid passing Earth next week

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration confirmed that an approximate size of half a football field of asteroid passing Earth in the next week, than some satellites more "close to" the Earth, but will not hit the Earth "Canopy crisis.

No crisis hit the Earth

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration researchers said the asteroid about 45 meters in diameter, may GMT at 19:00 on the the 15th (Beijing time at 3:00 on the 16th), passing speed of about 2.8 kilometers per hour by the Indian Ocean Sumatra island empty , the closest distance of the asteroid with the Earth's surface is about 27,000 km.

In contrast, hundreds of pieces of communications and weather satellites orbit about 35,000 km above the ground.

The researchers confirmed While this asteroid is no risk of striking Earth. The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Near-Earth Objects senior researcher Don Yeomans, repeatedly stressed at a news conference: "rocket asteroid's orbit is well known, there is no impact (Earth) may."

He said, "If" While this planet hit the Earth, the equivalent of 2.4 million tons of TNT exploded.

The Yeomans simultaneously infer that asteroid passing does not pose a threat to communications and weather satellites. "People do not, it will not red card." Yeomans said, "I is not expected to have any trouble."

While this asteroid last year by the Spaniards found named 2012DA14, mainly composed of silicate, specific shape and exact size or mystery. Expected in it passing close to Earth, people in some areas with the naked eye or with the aid of a simple telescope.

Occur once every 40 years

While this asteroid hit the earth's risk, but it is close to passing phenomenon that is necessary to track the trajectory of near-Earth asteroids.

The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said the track nearly a million stars in the body closer to the Earth's distance in the past 15 years, the total number of stars within less than a related area into. NEOs senior staff Lindley Johnson said: "We are the world (researchers) are not all that money spent on this matter.

The researchers did not completely rule out the Earth by the asteroid risk, but generally finds that this possibility is extremely small. United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration estimate 2012DA14 similar size asteroid passing close to Earth phenomenon occurs once about every 40 years, the event may be the type of asteroid impacts Earth once every 1,200 years.

Send astronauts to asteroid

In addition to close monitoring, the United States is considering to further explore the asteroid. U.S. President Barack Obama a few years ago, decades after the astronauts sent to the asteroid.

The senior staff of the NEO project Johnson said, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is considering the explore asteroids variety of options, the most recent of a plan for the 2016 launch of a spacecraft to a large asteroid collect samples. While this spacecraft is expected to return to Earth in 2023.

For the people of the earth, some asteroids regarded as treasures. Some rich rare metal resources, is a supplement to the Earth's natural resources. On the other hand, some asteroids can provide shortcut access to resources for future solar system exploration, the human without resupply from Earth outward.

This new theory assumes that ribbons exist in a particular area, the neutral hydrogen atoms from the solar wind in the region through the Galactic magnetic field

Scientists recently proposed a new theory, the theory is that the edge of the solar system the huge mysterious particles ribbon is charged ions with a strong magnetic field interaction.

It is reported that this strange phenomenon was first discovered by NASA's Interstellar Boundary Detector (IBEX). Proposed a new theory of the scientists said, the new theory to help people understand the heliosphere boundary of the solar system how to interact with other things in the universe, and to tell people how Earth through the magnetic field of the interstellar matter, and then the magnetic field is how it affects our space environment. "

Heliosphere emitted particles to form an amazing narrowband and narrowband form theory has been more than twelve, but none of these theories satisfactorily explain narrowband forming principle.

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire and the Southwest Research Institute "trapped by a" closed model ", when they fled to the identity of neutral atoms formed this ribbon" new theory of charged ions in the solar system boundary . The ribbon of the new theory, first published in 2009 found that the research report and the study on the basis of quantitative modeling in 2010.

This new theory assumes that ribbons exist in a particular area, the neutral hydrogen atoms from the solar wind in the region through the Galactic magnetic field. The neutral atom is not affected by magnetic fields, but when their electrons are stripped they become charged ions, and starts the high-speed rotation around the magnetic field lines. This process will guide the charged ions back to the sun, and timely access to electronic ion but also back into neutral atoms, which may explain why the ribbon of neutral atoms to produce additional.

Kalpana had decided on a career in aeronautical engineering at an early age, and in furtherance of this ambition attended Punjab Engineering College in Chandigarh.
In 1982 Kalpana went to the USA to undertake a master’s degree programme at the University of Texas at Arlington, followed in 1984 by a doctorate programme at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Despite the loss of space shuttle Challenger in January 1986, she decided to apply for the NASA astronaut corps once she became eligible. After graduating in 1988, she took up a research scientist position at NASA Ames Research Center in Sunnyvale, California.

In the shadow of Ames’ massive wind tunnels, Kalpana specialized in computational fluid dynamics to develop methods to predict the behaviour of air as it flowed around aircraft. She simultaneously earned various pilot and flight instructor qualifications at a flying club in nearby Palo Alto. In 1993, Kalpana responded to a NASA announcement for astronaut candidate applications. We found out later that she had made it fairly far along the selection process, but was not chosen that year. She reapplied in the summer of 1994 and that December received an invitation to join the 1995 NASA astronaut candidate class.

In February 1995 we moved to Houston, Texas, whereupon Kalpana started the astronaut training programme. Her class graduated one year later, and in November 1996 Kalpana was assigned to the STS-87 mission aboard space shuttle Columbia. The mission flew in November – December 1997 during which Kalpana spoke with Prime Minister Inderjit K. Gujral from orbit. After a two-year interlude, she was assigned to the STS-107 mission in the summer of 2000. This mission launched on 16 January 2003 aboard space shuttle Columbia. After a very successful flight, Columbia was lost with its crew during reentry into Earth's atmosphere on 1 February 2003.

Kalpana’s name has been given to a hill on Mars, a star in deep space, college, scholarships, and awards. Her story is an example of the success that can be earned from hard work and persistence, and her life serves as an inspiration to Indian school children and youth who see themselves reflected in her.

A team of researchers have found evidence that the western long-beaked echidna isn't extinct in Australia and may still be roaming in the West Kimberley region. There is a small and declining population of western long-beaked echidna in Papua New Guinea [pictured] - finding a surviving population in Australia could help researchers save the species.

This microscope image shows the scales on the wings of a Prola Beauty butterfly, which reflect light to produce an amazing display of colour.

Genes can jump from snakes to cows, according to new research. An Australian study suggests a quarter of a cow's genetic makeup originated in reptiles, challenging conventional thinking that DNA in complex organisms is only passed from parent to offspring. The scientists aren't sure how the DNA passed between the species, but suggests ticks may be responsible.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, carrying NASA’s twin Radiation Belt Storm Probes, or RBSP, is rolled back from Space Launch Complex 41 to the Vertical Integration Facility. The rocket and spacecraft will be secured and protected from inclement weather due to Tropical Storm Isaac. RBSP will explore changes in Earth's space environment caused by the sun -- known as "space weather" -- that can disable satellites, create power-grid failures and disrupt GPS service. The mission also will provide data on the fundamental radiation and particle acceleration processes throughout the universe. The launch is rescheduled for 4:05 a.m. EDT on Aug. 30, pending approval from the range. For more information on RBSP

Visa: Cashless & Contactless Payments At The Olympics

New cashless payment system has been adopted by Visa to make lives of the Summer Olympic Games London visitors easier. Over a thousand people have been given Olympic-branded Samsung Galaxy S III linked to their Visa accounts to make payments under £20 by simply swinging their phones over an NFC reader. For those not having this special editionsmartphone, Visa has introduced PayWave contactless payment technology, when cards with a corresponding logo on the back can be waved in front of the same NFC sensors that accept the smartphone payments. So far, there has been mixed feedback on the technology, as the system has gone down at Wembley Stadium. Once, fixed, it displays the future of payments linked to mobile devices.

IL SOLE OGGI MERCOLEDI 19 DICEMBRE 2012 - DATI DELLE ORE 18:59:44 UT.

Stelle Davvero Hot
Questa immagine unica mostra AB7, una delle nebulose più alta eccitazione nelle Nubi di Magellano (MC), due galassie satelliti della nostra Via Lattea. AB7 è una stella binaria, costituita da un WR-star - evoluta stella massiccia - e un mid-età compagno massiccia di tipo spettrale O. Queste stelle eccezionali hanno venti stellari molto forti: si continua espellere particelle energetiche - come il "vento solare "dal Sole - ma circa 10 a 1.000 milioni di volte più intenso di quanto la nostra stella! Questi venti potenti esercitare una enorme pressione sul materiale interstellare circostante e con forza modellare quelle nuvole in "bollicine", ben visibili nelle foto dal loro colore blu. AB7 è particolarmente notevole: la nebulosa associata enorme e regione Heii indicano che questa stella è uno dei, se non il , più caldo WR stelle conosciuto finora, con una temperatura superficiale di oltre di 120.000 gradi! Appena fuori questa nebulosa, una piccola rete di filamenti verdi è visibile - sono i resti di un'altra esplosione di una supernova.

NGC 5189: un insolitamente complesso Planetary Nebula
Immagine di credito: NASA , ESA , Hubble Heritage Team ( STScI / AURA )
Spiegazione: Perché questa nebulosa così complesso? Quando una stella come il nostro Sole sta morendo, sarà gettato via i suoi strati esterni, di solito in una forma semplice complessiva. Talvolta questa forma è una sfera , a volte un doppio lobo , e talvolta di un anello o di un elica . Nel caso della nebulosa planetaria NGC 5189 , tuttavia, tale struttura non è emersa semplice. Per aiutare a scoprire perché, la Terra-orbita Hubble Space Telescope ha osservato di recente NGC 5189 in grande dettaglio. risultati precedenti indicavano l'esistenza di epoche più di deflusso di materiale, tra cui una recente che ha creato un brillante, ma distorto toro che corre orizzontalmente attraverso centro dell'immagine . Risultati sono coerenti con l'ipotesi che la stella morente è parte di una stella binaria con un sistema precessing asse di simmetria. Dato questo nuovi dati , però, la ricerca è sicuro di continuare. NGC 5189 si estende circa tre anni luce e si trova a circa 3.000 anni luce di distanza verso la costellazione meridionale della mosca ( Musca ).

What do a weta and a whale have in common? Both of them rely on lipids to hear. Weta detect sound with the eardrums on their front legs. The sound is then transmitted through a liquid-filled cavity to the hearing organs. The lipid helps transmit the sounds and may also help amplify quite sounds.
