CALIFORNIA - The impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter in 1994 is an event of great interest to astronomers. Reportedly, the impact of a comet hit Jupiter can help scientists to find plenty of water content in the atmosphere of the giant planet.
Reported by the Examiner, Friday (04/26/2013), water vapor has been detected during a collision comet impact into Jupiter. Extraterrestrial object hit the gaseous planet split into 21 fragments, which hit Jupiter's atmosphere.

A large amount of water released during the impact of comet fragments hit as vapourized. After the comet hit, then fragments mixed with gas from the upper atmosphere.

In 1997, additional observations from ESA's Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) indicate the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere more than usual Jupiter. It is known that water vapor is still in the stratosphere of Jupiter.

Scientists estimate there are 95 percent water vapor in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Water vapor was allegedly came from comet impacts to blow the planet.

Wikipedia explains, Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun after the nearest Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The average distance between Jupiter and the Sun is 778.3 million kilometers.

Jupiter is the largest and heaviest planet with a diameter of 149 980 kilometers and has a mass 318 times the mass of Earth. The planet's rotation period is 9 hours 55 minutes, while the period of revolution is 11.86 years. (FMH)

CALIFORNIA - Observer armed sky star telescope will be able to witness the phenomenon of the appearance of Saturn in the evening. The ringed planet can be seen with a bright display shape, sparkle like stars in the night sky.

Reported by redOrbit on Friday (04/26/2013), this week, sky watchers can catch a clear view of Saturn with a telescope. On April 28, Saturn will be at its closest approach to Earth.

The planet will appear larger and brighter than usual. Astronomers say Saturn will be opposite the sun in Earth's sky.

Occurrences Saturn begins when the sun has set and is at his best appearance in the middle of the night. "You look at Saturn with your own eyes. Wonders of the sky directly (as) out of the pages of the magazine of astronomy," said Tony Phillips of NASA.

He said the observers must start looking Saturn start tonight or tomorrow night, when the full moon passes Saturn only a few degrees. When this happens, the Moon will help the observer to be able to witness the appearance of the ringed planet.

For those who want to see the appearance of Saturn, but do not have a telescope, Slooh Space Camera provides a video that can be watched online. Slooh revealed that the website will start showing this phenomenon on Sunday. You can access the following website http://events.slooh.com/. (FMH)

CALIFORNIA - Astronomers have released a new image showing Betelgeuse, a red supergiant is closest to the Earth. Betelgeuse mysterious light display that reportedly can be seen with the naked eye as a bright object, a red star in the constellation Orion.

Reported by ScienceDaily, Thursday (25/04/2013), this new image taken by the e-MERLIN radio telescope is operated from Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire. The picture also shows the hot gas in the shock region outside of the atmosphere.

Betelgeuse is easily visible to the naked eye as a bright object, a red star in Orion the Hunter area. This star has a very large size, which is 1,000 times larger than the sun.

With its mammoth size and is 650 light-years away, Betelgeuse can be seen as a small dot in the sky. Astronomers need a special technique using a telescope to see the details of the star and the surrounding area.

Betelgeuse is captured new images of e-MERLIN appear in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Betelgeuse show atmosphere that extends up to five times the size of the surface.

Betelgeuse also showed hot spots in the outer atmosphere and the cold gas in the outer surface of the radio star. Hot spots (hot spots) are separated by approximately half the diameter of visual stars and has a temperature of approximately 4000-5000 Kelvin. (FMH)

Know the 'Red Planet' Closer

Mars (Photo: Space)

 CALIFORNIA - commonly referred to by the nickname Mars the red planet. Mars name is taken from the ancient Roman god of war, in which the red color characteristic of blood that is attached on the planet.

Reported by Space, Friday (04/19/2013), bright colors and looks rusty on this planet is because Mars contain iron-rich minerals in the regolith. Regolith is the loose dust and rocks that cover the surface of the planet.
Earth also has a regolith soil, although most contain more organic content. How are things at the red planet? Mars too cold temperature, has a thin atmosphere, which indicates that the water can not currently appear on the surface of Mars.
Although the desert on the planet only half of the diameter of the Earth, Mars has dry lands. Mars is also home to the highest mountains and the deepest in the solar system.
Olympus Mons, has a height of approximately 17 miles (27 kilometers), which is three times the height of Mount Everest. While the system of Valles Marineris valley, whose name comes from the Mariner 9 spacecraft discovered in 1971.
This valley has a depth of up to 6 miles (10 kilometers) and runs along 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers). Mars also has the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, including the diameter of 370 miles (600 kilometers).
Wide volcano is equivalent to the size of the state New Mexico. This volcano has a shield with a gradually increasing slope exactly Hawaiian volcanoes.
The ilmunan think, Valles Marineris largely formed by cracks caused by the stretching of the crust. One of the canyons (canyon) on Mars has a width of approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers).
The researchers also have discovered the existence of channels, valleys and gullies around Mars. This suggests the possibility that water once flowed on the planet's surface for several times.
Some channels have a width of 100 kilometers and a length of 2,000 kilometers. Scientists believe that water may still be in the cracks and pores in the rock underground. (FMH)

NEW YORK - Scientists estimate that the night sky would be the peak of the meteor shower (meteor shower). This rare sight will be the first meteor shower which occurs in the spring.

Lyrid meteor shower because the earth passing through the comet's orbit, although the Lyrid comet itself has not been seen since 1861. Then the dust particles from the comet Lyrid will burn when passing through the Earth's atmosphere and make it look like a flash of light.

Meanwhile, Lyrid meteor itself comes from the remnants of comet dust Thatcher, known as code 1860 I, which means that the comet was first discovered in 1861. Named Lyrids which means the point spread or beam of the constellation Lyra.

Reported by NPR, Sunday (21/04/2013), one of the senior contributing editor for Sky and Telescope magazine, Betty Kelly said tonight would be the best time. Therefore, humans on Earth will be presented with this beautiful meteor shower just before daybreak.

"The fun of meteor showers is that they are very broad. This rain will last approximately one and a half days, "he said.

Betty also recommend to look for a dark place without much light the lamp in the street. Because this is the best opportunity to see flashes of light in the sky.

"This meteor shower is truly magical. It's like the universe is communicating with people on a basic level, "he added.

Previously, scientists National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has also said that the phenomenon of meteor shower will begin in early 2013. (amr)

AMSTERDAM - A Dutch company, Mars One being the service provider space travel. Reportedly, the company will open the offer commercial flights to Mars and look forward to building a community of settlers on the red planet.

Reported by the BBC on Wednesday (17/04/2013), is not surprising to Mars One candidate has been getting thousands of applicants. However, it reportedly will be a one-way, where when living on Mars, they will not come back again to Earth (one-way trip).

Unlike missions to be planned some time ahead, where astronauts will fly to Mars and could return to Earth in 2018. Prospective applicants should really be considered a physical and mental readiness.

Before prospective applicants actually flown and life on Mars, it must be tough, adaptable, resourceful and able to work in teams. The project will be broadcast on television, ranging from the selection process, landing and so on.

Founder of Mars One, Bas Landorp explain why this would be a one-way flight. During the trip approximately 7-8 months, astronauts lose bone and muscle mass.

After spending a lot of time in the weak gravitational field of Mars, according to Bas, will be impossible to adjust back to the Earth's strong gravity. Applicants or applicants who want to stay living on Mars will be trained physically and psychologically.

The team will use existing technology to all aspects of the project. Energy will be generated from the solar panels, water will be recycled and the astronauts can grow their own food. (FMH)

CALIFORNIA - Scientists have long explored whether alien life exists beyond Earth (extraterrestrial). NASA scientists suspect, some planets like Mars or Jupiter's moon, Europa could support for the emergence of alien life.

Reported Nbcnews, Thursday (04/18/2013), the British astrobiology conference, where scientists think the best place to look for extraterrestrial life, whether on Mars, the Moon of Jupiter or Saturn?

Scientists reportedly examined to see how a particular organism can survive in certain extreme environments. In addition, these researchers also still see signs of the emergence of life-related chemicals, as well as examine the signs to support their allegations concerning extraterrestrial life.

As is known Europa is a moon of Jupiter that has a diameter of 1,945 miles (3,130 kilometers). Months most of which contain ice is smaller than the Moon to orbit the Earth.

Recent research has revealed that Europa has more water content than ocean on Earth. The water content under layers of ice Europa.

Not only that, the researchers also found hydrogen peroxide in the ice that can provide energy supply for simple life forms in the ocean hidden beneath Europa. Now, Europa became the focus of research conducted Robert Pappalardo, senior scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Costs incurred for the Europa mission studies reportedly reached $ 2 billion. Europa is not the only month which is the subject of research by astrobiologists, the Jovian system (Jupiter), moon Callisto and Ganymede also has a layer of ice and the possibility of having a water content below the surface.

This galaxy Generate Thousand Stars in Year 3

HFLS3 (Photo: ABC)

CALIFORNIA - Astronomers claim to have discovered the oldest starburst galaxies in the universe (universe). This galaxy is capable of producing up to 3 thousand stars that resemble the Sun in one year.

Reported by ABC, Thursday (18/04/2013), this galaxy has all the ingredients it uses to produce a number of remarkable. This galaxy began to produce new stars from the last 880 million years after the Big Bang event.

This galaxy codenamed HFLS3, which is 12.8 billion light years. With the distance, making it the earliest starburst galaxies ever observed.

According to Dominik Riechers of the California Institute of Technology, HFLS3 could produce an average of more than 2,000-fold than the Milky Way. Riechers and his team search for starburst galaxies by examining the survey data collected by the space telescope, Herschel Space Observatory.

"We use the help of infrared technology, in which the starburst galaxies that are in the light of the position," said Riechers. According to him, this galaxy produces lots of ultraviolet light, but the surrounding neighborhood is full of dust and gas.

Dust, gas and ultraviolet light, which in turn is able to form stars. Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the gas molecules and dust and re-emitted as infrared captured by Herschel. (FMH)
