Solar Eclipse Appeared Midnight

With the cloud covered, the midnight sun eclipse that look more beautiful.
 

Arare phenomenon occurred in Norway. If you usually see the solar eclipse occurred at noon, this time the solar eclipse occurred at midnight.

In Norway for example, with cloud shrouded eclipse which occurred at the beginning of this month looks more beautiful. Observed with H-alpha filter, the Sun is usually bright white when the daytime, visible red light.

NATO uses attack helicopters for first time in Libya air assault

By the CNN Wire Staff

NATO used attack helicopters for the first time Saturday as part of its military operation aimed at increasing pressure on Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's regime.
"The use of attack helicopters provides the NATO operation with additional flexibility to track and engage pro-Gadhafi forces who deliberately target civilians and attempt to hide in populated areas," NATO said in a statement.
Military vehicles and equipment were among the targets struck by the helicopters. NATO did not disclose where the strikes took place.
On Friday, fighting continued in the western town of Yefren, where NATO-allied aircraft destroyed government tanks and personnel carriers, officials said.

NATO warplanes belonging to the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force fired Paveway guided bombs and destroyed two main battle tanks and two armored personnel carriers belonging to Libya's military, said Maj. Gen. John Lorimer, strategic communication officer for the chief of the defense staff. The airstrikes occurred Thursday, he said.
NATO reported that government forces were continuing "to attack the peoples of the western highlands," Lorimer said.
Meanwhile, rebels claimed to liberate Yefren and the nearby town of Kikla, both of which are about 25 miles east of their stronghold in Zintan, one rebel fighter said.
Talhat al-Jiwayli, a rebel on the front lines in Zintan, also said that anti-Gadhafi forces were surrounding the town of al-Rayyana, more than 7 miles northeast of Zintan.
Al-Jiwayli added that the situation on the ground was still tense, and the troops of Gadhafi were still firing daily barrages of Grad rockets on Zintan and surrounding villages.
In other measures against Gadhafi's forces Thursday, NATO airstrikes hit four surface-to-air missile launchers near Tripoli; a tank, two armored personnel carriers and an ammunition storage facility near Mizdah; more ammunition storage facilities near Hun and Qaryat; two armored fighting vehicles near Sirte; and a command and control node in Brega and nearby radar, according to NATO.
The latest NATO strikes occurred two days after the alliance announced its decision to extend its mission in Libya by 90 days, continuing a campaign that began in March.

The resolution approved by the U.N. Security Council in March authorized member states "to take all necessary measures to protect civilians under threat of attack in the country, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory."

2015 Russian Post Go Solar Aircraft

"Approaching the Sun is needed to study the phenomenon as 'solar flares'," 
 Sun is one of the biggest stars in the outer angksa. However, so far no scientist can do research from close range.
While there are several scientists from several countries who joined in helio-physicists have made a device for approaching the Sun, to examine it as closely as possible. To support research, the Russians plan to launch spacecraft to the Sun.
The first idea to send a spacecraft to the Sun derived from the Russian scientific community in 1970 (in the Brezhnev period). However, at the beginning of that first project, an unmanned aircraft was technically unfeasible.
Now experts from the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation or Pushkov (IZMIRAN), Physics Institute of the Academy of Sciences (FIAN) and other researchers, are working to complete the project Interhelioprobe. Director of the Institute for Space Studies by Academics of Sciences of Russia, Lev Zelyony, said it is possible that this spacecraft will be able to approach the Sun at an altitude of 10-12 solar radii.
With this close spacing, the threat of danger is going to appear. Besides the danger of overheating, is also the danger of evaporation under the sun rays that can cause errors in measurement.
Therefore, who will become the priority is to develop a heat shield that can withstand temperatures to 600 degrees Celsius. Later, it will shield material made from tungsten, molybdenum, and other refractory materials.
"Approaching the Sun is needed to study the phenomenon as 'solar flares'," said Vladimir Kuznetsov, director of IZMIRAN. "The most important also to study the solar cycle and dynamo of the Sun, because until today we still can not predict the beginning and the amplitude of this cycle."
According to Kuznetsov, if able to study and predict solar cycle, will allow to reduce the impact hazard to Earth.
Besides Russia, similar projects are also conducted in other countries. European scientists working for the Solar Orbiter, also are investigating the Sun from a distance of 60 solar radii (the distance is slightly closer than Mercury's orbit). American Solar Probe will be close to the Sun at a distance of only 8.5 radii from the surface.
However, Solar Orbiter will be launched in 2017, and Solar Probe in 2018. Meanwhile, Russian-owned aircraft, it is believed, scientists will be launched in 2015. (Pravda)

Tornadoes hit U.S., third Destroyed City

"I'd say about 75 percent of the city was destroyed."

Hurricane tornado struck the city of Joplin, the state of Missouri, United States, making the third city in ruins. Not yet released the death toll, but the alleged victim in the tens of people.

Reporting from the page the Associated Press, Monday, May 23, 2011, storm happened on Sunday evening local time. Strong winds make all in its path were destroyed, some debris even wind up to 112 kilometers away.

The houses are mostly made of wood collapsed, cars overturned in the wind, and trees ripped from their roots. The road is still difficult to access because of the many ruins which cover almost the entire road section. The communication line is also broken, difficult process of recovery.

"I'd say about 75 percent of the city was destroyed," said Kathy Dennis of the American Red Cross.

There has been no official reports of deaths of local government city of Joplin. However, the AP get the news as many as 24 people are confirmed dead. Confirmed, a spokesman for the city of Joplin, Lynn Onstot, said the death is estimated more than that.

"We fear there are more than that, 24 people is approximate minimum amount," said Onstot.

Storm damage in the city of Joplin, USA.

Onstot said the storm that happened yesterday is more severe than a similar storm last month in the southern United States that killed 300 people. He said that the storm a tornado struck a hospital full of patients, a construction shop, a business center and restaurant.

Keith Stammer, head of the rescue team said that at least 2,000 buildings damaged in the town of 50,000 people. Worst hit by the storm are hospital St. John's Regional Medical Center.

"If you see an image from World War II, the damage caused by storm just like in the picture," said the head of a collapsed school Joplin, Kerry Sachetta.

How does the end of the doomsday issue May 21

John Ramsey (25) circled date on the calendar to mark the party, birthdays, and holidays. Strangely, it all stopped on May 21, 2011 and the remaining dates on the calendar was dicoretnya. Ramsey is one of thousands of followers of Camping.

This group claimed to successfully crack the code in the Bible that contains the message, the world will end. "God says, when the sword fell to Earth, blow the trumpet and warn the people," said Ramsey refers to Ezekiel 33:3. I warn people, he added.

Ramsey told, on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 6 pm local time, there will be an earthquake, tombs opened, and many of the dead go to heaven. "200 million people will be rescued, alive or dead. Those left behind will feel the Resurrection and the life of blood, destruction and disease for five months until the end of the world total on 21 October. "

During his life, Ramsey rarely talk about life after death. Every night he was partying and taking drugs. In her bedroom cupboard, the Gospel is just a dusty old book. Hobby bespectacled man who wore a polo and jeans worn it looks nothing like penggalak apocalypse.

Ramsey family room on the shelf there are four volumes gospel version of the ancient Greek and Hebrew. According to him, most of the Gospel of translation has been polluted and the best version for the English language he described as the King James version.

On his coffee table, Ramsey says his hand store binders containing linimasa 80 pages of the Gospel. Including, geneologi, numerology, diagrams and calculations showing the gospel May 21 is the day of salvation.

As a teenager, Ramsey was an atheist. Besides, she liked chemistry and biology. "For some time, I think science can help me answer all my questions."

But the question is what happens if they miss calculation or belief. whether they will be punished for spreading rumors is not true, or even whether they still believe in religion?
please think and answer in your heart.

Planet Gliese 581d Livable Ascertained

Before this, astronomers actually focus attention to his brother, the planet Gliese 581g.

Before this, astronomers actually focus attention to his brother, the planet Gliese 581g, after it emerged that the planet has a mass similar to Earth and also near the Goldilocks zone. (Dailygalaxy.com)


Gliese 581d, a rocky planet orbiting a giant red dwarf stars (stars with masses lower than the sun and the temperature below 4000 degrees Kelvin) is confirmed as the first planet that meets the requirements to accommodate life.

Planet which is about 20 light-years from Earth is one of our closest neighboring planet. He estimated temperature is warm enough and wet enough to cultivate a similar life-owned planet Earth.

Orbiting Gliese 581d in the Goldilocks zone (the area where possible life forms) belonging to the star Gliese 581. As is known, in the Goldilocks zone, the temperature not too hot, causing the water to boil or not too cold to make it freeze but it was in the right temperature so that water remains in liquid form.

"With a dense atmosphere of carbon dioxide will, which is the most probable scenario for giant planet, Gliese 581d stable climate and warm enough to have oceans, clouds, and rainfall," researchers said the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).

Quoted from the Daily Galaxy, May 19, 2011, according to research published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, Gliese 581d has a mass of at least 7 times bigger than the Earth is about 2 times the planet Earth.

Before this, the attention of astronomers precisely the focus to his brother, the planet Gliese 581g, after it emerged that the planet has a mass similar to Earth's mass and also near Goldilocks zone.

Was first discovered in 2007, Gliese 581d candidate was not originally signed as a place to search for extraterrestrial life. One reason is that he only gets a third of solar radiation as Earth and possibly get 'tidally locked' or just one side that always faces its sun and have a permanent day and night.

However, the latest model made by Robin Wordsworth, Francois Forget, colleagues and other CNRS researchers show a surprising result. Planet's atmosphere is able to store heat thanks to the dense gas CO2 and warmed by the light from the star.

"Overall, there temperature allows liquid water is present on the surface of the planet," said the researcher. "The mass of the planet that also means the gravity on its surface approximately two times higher than Earth's gravity," he said.

However, researchers can not simply send astronauts to the planet. From Earth, the spacecraft that can fly at speeds approaching the speed of light takes more than 20 years to get there. Unfortunately, the rocket technology that has been owned human beings has been only able to deliver us to Gliese 581d in 300 thousand years. (Eh)

One Day Now Live 23 Hours

Richard Gross, a researcher from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA develop complex computer models to mengalkulasikan theoretically, how the earthquake in Japan, which is the fifth largest earthquake since 1900, affecting the Earth's rotation.

Utilizing data from the United States Geological Survey, the calculation results indicate a change in Earth's mass distribution. Japan quake has made the Earth rotates slightly faster, and shorten the time in one day to 1.8 microseconds, or millionths of a second.

Calculations are made also shows that the axis of the Earth moves around 17 centimeters in the direction of longitude east. Change this shaft will make the Earth a little different movement. But it does not affect the position of Earth in space because the only external forces such as gravity of the Sun, Moon, and planets that could change that.

On the shortness of time in a day that has not reached 24 hours, as an illustration, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake that occurred last year in Chile, the time of the day has been cut by 1.26 microseconds and shift the axis of the Earth is about 8 cm.

In fact, using similar calculations are carried out after a magnitude 9.1 quake that struck Aceh in 2004, the time of the day was reduced by 6.8 microseconds due to shifting of the Earth's axis and shape of about 7 cm.

"Rotation of the Earth is constantly changing, and not only caused by the earthquake, but also influenced by other factors such as wind in the atmosphere and ocean currents," Gross said, as quoted by Science Daily, May 10, 2011. "How do earthquakes affect the rotation of the Earth depends on the scale, location, and how earthquakes occur," he said.

Gross mentions, within one year, time in a day can increase and also reduced by about one millisecond or 550 times larger than Japan's earthquake. Similarly, Earth's plates that can be shifted about 1 meter in one year due to various earthquake.

"Theoretically, anything that can redistribute the mass of the Earth will change the rotation of planet Earth," said Gross. "However, changes in the Earth's axis of rotation and should not affect our daily lives. This change is very natural and happen anytime. People do not need to worry, "he said.

Although it has been making a calculation, calculations made by Gross, both for rotation and the axis of the Earth, the result is likely to still change with the emergence of new data are more accurate about the phenomena that occur on Earth. (Umi)
