VFTS 682, Stars in the Magellanic Cloud Loneliness
Using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, astronomers found the star named VFTS 682 in the Tarantula Nebula, Large Magellanic Cloud, a small neighboring galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy.
The star is more versatile than the Sun, has a mass 150 times greater than the Sun and 3 million times more luminous than the Sun.
However, unlike the 682 VFTS size and stars are typically found in dense star clusters. VFTS 682 which is one of the brightest star ever discovered and has a surface temperature of up to 50,000 degrees Celsius is apparently a lonely star.
As quoted Astronomy Now, Joachim Bestenlehner of Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland who led the study, said, "We were very surprised to find that the star of turned out to be alone, not located in a dense star cluster." Until now, according to Bestenlehner, the origin of the star is still mysterious.
Because the Tarantula Nebula lies adjacent to the star forming regions and close to the group VFTS R136 682, then the astronomers suspect that the first 682 VFTS not alone. According to astronomers, VFTS 682 may be formed in clusters R136 and subsequently ejected to exist in isolation.
The explanation may be the answer to the riddle origins VFTS 682. But, if that were true, one more question arise. What kind of energy that could catapult for VFTS 682 stars from from the place?
To be sure, these findings will challenge the understanding of evolved massive stars now. The findings were published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Green Light Phenomena in Surface Moon

Gerhard Hüdepohl who take care of recording images photos space at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to record the emission of green light from the Moon. Ray is it?



Gerhard managed to capture the phenomenon in an image consisting of several photos. He found a green glow on the moon during the morning was sunny conditions at the Paranal Residencia.

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

Green beam of light that occurs due to refraction by the atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere bend light. Deflection the greater the atmospheric conditions are not too dense layers.

Light with shorter wavelengths is deflected more than longer wavelength light.

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

Archeologists Find Ancient Ship Pharaoh Year 4500

Archaeologists began digging 4,500 years of wooden ship was found near the Great Pyramid of Giza. The ship is believed to bring the pharaoh Khufu to the afterlife.


The ship is believed to be the bearer of Pharaoh Khufu indigenous religion into the afterlife. Khufu is also known as Cheops is credited as the builder of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Sakuji Yoshimura restoration project leader of Wasela University said, one of the ships of the two ships were found bearing the name of Khufu.

Khufu was the founder of the fourth dynasty in 2680 BC and became the leader of Egypt for 23 years. Egyptian Minister of Antiquities, Zahi Hawass acknowledges the excavation of this 'one of the most important archaeological projects and conservation of the world'.

The ship was originally discovered in 1954 along with another vessel which was then restored and is considered one of the major findings on the Giza plateau. Experts acknowledge this ship as the oldest ship that could survive until now.

After the excavation is completed, scientists will make this ship a computer scheme to help its reconstruction. Restoration of these findings are expected to take four years. Once completed, as reported by Fox News, the ship will be on display at Solar Boar Museum near the Pyramids of Giza.

Amazing, Rain of Fire in the Sun Recorded by NASA

Sun flames erupted on Tuesday (7 / 6) morning. Uniquely, the eruption did not cause the flames into the sky, but returned to the sun, creating a rain-shaped crown.

Researchers from NASA's Solar, Jack Ireland, claimed to have never seen anything like this. The eruption of relatively medium-sized, but the plasma-containing magnets that posed flames called the filament can be 10 times the size of Earth. Genesis of the eruption within a few hours.



Large filaments normally despite the sun's magnetic field and lead into space. NASA scientist explains, Alex Young. Only in the event this time, the filament back to the sun. "The possibility did not have enough energy," he said.

The rain did not fall in plasma perpendicular to the sun, but to follow magnetic field lines that are not visible. Some materials are attracted to bright spots of magnetic activity, called the active area. "Field of the magnets that draw an active area of ​​the plasma. Something that I had never seen before," said Young.

The incident was recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. The incident itself will not affect the Earth. "No need to worry. Enjoy the beauty," said Young.

2 Big Black Hole at the Galactic Center Found Markarian 739
Of a further research, astronomers found that Markarian 739, a galaxy which is about 425 million light-years from Earth towards the constellation Leo has not only a giant black hole, but two black holes at the center of the galaxy.


The presence of these two galaxies are detected by the Swift satellite dams Chandra X-Ray Observatory NASA.
Although both the black hole at the galactic center, they are separated by a distance of about 11 thousand light-years or about one-third the distance of our solar system with the center of the Milky Way. As an illustration, one light year is about 10 trillion kilometers.
Both black holes are found it is also a very active black holes and into the classification of 'supermassive' which means, each having a mass equal to millions or even billions of times the mass of stars like our Sun.
In fact, ordinary black holes formed by the collapse of massive stars is only a 10 to 20-fold compared with the mass of the Sun.
"At the center of most massive galaxies, including the Milky Way, is a supermassive black hole that weighs millions of times more than the mass of the Sun," said Michael Koss, researchers from NASA, as quoted from Space. "Some of them emit radiation billions of times greater energy than the Sun," he said.
However, Koss said, although the supermassive black hole is a common phenomenon that is present in the centers of galaxies, not all black holes emit radiation energy is called 'active galactic nuclei (AGN).
"Therefore, get a giant black hole actively extremely rare. Moreover, the finding of two giant black holes in one galaxy, "he said. Astronomers suspect that this pair of supermassive black holes form when there are galaxies that were destroyed.
"If two galaxies collide, and each has a supermassive black hole, there is the possibility that the two black holes become active as AGN," says Richard Mushotzky, another researcher from the University of Maryland.

Risk of Very Scary Black Holes

Risk of Very Scary Black Holes
Black hole capable of swallowing a variety of celestial bodies. The more he swallowed, the greater its appeal. But the risk is not only that.
Black hole is a region of space that can swallow gas, dust, stars, planets, and other celestial objects that exist in a galaxy. Its gravitational pull is very strong. A planet passing in the vicinity will not survive the suction hole.


Many astronomers worry that the more illegal activities will be able to swallow the Earth. So what makes a black hole can suck objects around space?
There is actually a theory which states, the suction power of a black hole can be weakened and then he would go into a phase of sleep, 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 galaxy. Scherbakov, astronomers from the Harvard Center for Astrophysics said the black hole at the Milky Way takes only 0.01% of stars around him.
But now researchers also discovered a fact, black holes constantly evolving, so that they can be active again someday. The more he swallowed a star, the sooner the process of evolution.
According to data obtained from space telescopes, over the last few years, a growing number of black holes swallowing celestial body. In addition, it is said that the more he sucked celestial body, the greater its appeal. This is because an increase in ionic elements in it.
But not only evolved, later also known black holes that exist in different galaxies are also joined to each other. Various celestial body that goes into the black hole contains a lot of energy in large quantities.
So that the joint between the black hole would also increases the amount of energy it has. This energy can control the flow in and out of gas and dust out of the hole.
Not only the dust and gas, astronomers believe that a black hole sucking too much release of X-rays and radioactive waves. But the number of X-ray radiation they observe can not be explained. What is clear, everything that affects the development of the galaxy where the black hole is located.
Understanding 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. Studying the interaction of intergalactic radiation and can make us understand the magnitude of the gravitational field, magnetic force, and the black hole radiation.
"We have been studying data from space telescope over the last few years, and found that the faster the black hole devouring material space, the higher the ionization power," says David Ballantyne, assistant professor of physics Georgia Institute of Technology.
Space physicists do not currently have an adequate explanation of 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 sky objects.
"Sucking on a celestial black hole releases a lot of energy. Not only radiation but also the gases released until far into the outer galaxy. This gas can change the order of the location of stars, and stop the development of galaxies, "Ballantyne said.
"Power continues to suck black holes 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. The gas ejected from the inside can make a celestial body to shift, and may even crash.

 Two Biggest Secrets Revealed The behavior of the Universe


The astronomers found that galaxies in the universe has the behavior of 'wake up' or 'asleep'. Galaxies 'wake up' very actively forming stars, while galaxies 'asleep' not forming any new stars.

Astronomers find nearest galaxy in the universe fall into one of these conditions. But a new survey shows distant universe, young galaxies at a distance 12 billion million light-years is also on the condition awake or asleep. That is, galaxies having this kind of behavior for more than 85% of the history of the universe.

"In fact, seeing a young galaxy in the distant universe have died is amazing," said study leader Kate Whitaker quoted a description of Yale University.

Not many galaxies are in between these conditions, further Pieter van Dokkum of Yale astronomer who also joined in this study.

"This discovery shows how fast the galaxies into one of the conditions, from active to make a death star," he said.

"Furthermore, we hope to determine whether the galaxies can enter between the conditions at will. We're very curious to know how long the galaxy's asleep," he concluded.

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci (15 April 1452 – 2 May 1519) was an Italian Renaissance genius, who was good at many things, but most famous as a painter.[1] He was also a scientist, a mathematician, an engineer, an inventor, an anatomist, a sculptor, an architect, a botanist, a musician and writer. Leonardo was curious about everything in nature. He wanted to know how everything worked. He was very good at studying, designing and making all sorts of interesting things.[2]

Many people think that Leonardo was one of the greatest painters of all time. Many people think that he was the most talented person ever to have lived.[1] The art historian Helen Gardner said that no-one has ever been quite like him because he was interested in so many things that he seems to have had the mind of a giant, and yet what he was like as a person is still a mystery.[3]

Leonardo was born at Vinci which is a small town near Florence in Italy. He was trained to be an artist by the sculptor and painter Verrocchio. He spent most of his life working for rich Italian noblemen. In his last years he lived in a beautiful home given to him by the King of France.

Leonardo could do all sorts of clever things, but he was most famous as a painter. Two of his pictures are among the best-known paintings in the world: the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. He did many drawings. The best-known drawing is the Vitruvian Man. It is so well known that even Homer Simpson and Garfield have been drawn in a square and a circle to look like the drawing. Leonardo was always thinking of new inventions. Most of his inventions were never made. However, we know his ideas, because he kept notebooks and wrote and drew in them very often. Some of the ideas that he thought of were a helicopter, a tank, a calculator, a robot and solar power.

Scientists Reveal Secrets of Successful Earth Magnets

Earth's core is gradually melting and freezing due to heat circulation of mantle rock. These findings help understand the formation of the Earth's core.

In addition to understanding the Earth's core formation, these findings can also be used to determine how the outer core acts like a magnetic field generating geodynamo.

"The origin of magnetic fields up to now remained a mystery to scientists," said researcher Jon Mound of Leeds.


"We can not get a core sample of the Earth, so we just rely on surface measurements and computer models to determine which occurred in the Earth's core," he continued.

The interior of the Earth's core of solid iron about the size of the Moon is surrounded by dynamic fluid outer core of iron-nickel-iron core that caused many freezes and melts.

Disappeared when the cold heat flow from the core into the mantle passed to the Earth's crust through a process of convection. Convection currents move warm coat to the surface and send back to the core mantle cold.

"Movement is what gives power 'geodynamo' to generate a magnetic field. Our new model provides a simple explanation of some confusing measurements of scientists for many years,"he concluded.

Sources of Greek Mythology Ancient Fossils


The Greeks have long been studying the fossils of ancient and is expected to make it as a source of inspiration of their myths. A piece of thigh bone ancient creatures thought to have become a source of inspiration in the creation myths of ancient Greeks.


Pieces of bone called bone Nichoria was part of a body of ancient giant mammals that lived in southern Greece about one million years ago.

After the ancient Greeks found it, came the wild creatures in classical Greek mythology that his inspiration comes from the bone.

According to Adrienne Mayor, a researcher Classics and History of Science at Stanford University, the fossils of ancient species of giant, like bone Nichoria, most likely a source of inspiration for the creation of the legendary wild creatures from classical mythology.

Furthermore, Major roots dig some classical Greek myths and found evidence indicating prehistoric fossils found in the same place the development of the myth of the giant creature emerged.

Major estimated that the ancient Greeks discovered the fossil bones in young coal basin in the study of prehistoric megalopolis that is known as the Battle of the Giants Field.

"The number of giant fossil bones at the site led to the myth of killing the entire army of giant neighbor by Zeus lightning blow," added Major.

Nichoria own bones found in an ancient Acropolis in Nichoria between 1969 and 1975 by archaeologists Minnesota Messenia Expedition team members.

The fact that the bones were kept in the Acropolis is located 35 miles from lignite where bones found indicate that the ancient Greeks have enormous interest in fossils.
