Mars Express: Ever There's Water On Mars

Traces of Water on Mars
Melas Chasma, a large valley which forms one part of the Valles Marineris area of 4,000 km on Mars, the deepest place on Mars, which managed to be photographed from a distance. High Resolution Stereo Camera which is operated by the Mars Express orbiter made by the European Space Agency, show new evidence on Mars.

Recently released on Friday (8 / 10) by the German Aerospace Center, Remote image also shows evidence that water once flowed on Mars. Based on satellite imagery, there are traces of the former water flow and deposit components of sulfur (sulfur). Rock formations on Mars show evidence of water flow texture is used to show that the formation was first filled with water, ice or mud. (Ant)

Save the Earth from the Sun Storm

Not only the United States Space Agency (NASA) that can launch a rocket berinisatif to anticipate the effects of sun storms. We also can participate in saving the Earth. How? There are many pages that give you an opportunity to save the world, one of them is www.solarstormwatch.com.

Pages that allow the user to help the scientists find the location of the storm the sun - before causing damage on Earth. This page is built with the cooperation of the Royal Observatory Greenwich, Facilitation Council of Science and Technology Laboratory and Rutherford Appleton Zooniverse site.

"When you look directly at the Sun, of course it was too light for my eyes to see properly," said Dr Marek Kukula from the Royal Observatory such as the BBC page loaded. The sun can be observed only with special instruments and telescopes. So far, NASA has monitored the Sun uses two spacecraft called 'Stereo'. Rocket produces an image - an image the Sun's current situation.

However, the amount of outstanding data makes many NASA scientists are not able to analyze the data as detailed as possible. They need the help of Internet users. Stormwatch page users can access 3D images produced by Stereo. However, the user must undergo a brief training on the identification of solar storms. Basic training using a color image of the sun.

If given away, users will be trained to use satellite images of the black Stereo white spots - like a broken TV images. The user also supplied a number of knowledge, including how to distinguish the comet, halo, and dust of the Sun. "Any how small is very important information," added Kukula.

"I've talked to a few scientists involved and they all agree that even if you log on and just observe for a few hours, then get bored and never touch it again - it was all very useful and helpful," he continued.

According to scientists, Chris Davis, will have 100,000 images received from the stereo in the next two and a half years. "We need as many people to examine the data. Therefore, the opinion of its new one opinion," he said, such as the page loaded Storm Watch.

Storm the sun will cause a big explosion that gave billions of tons of matter into space. If it touches the earth, that's when problems occur. Bursts of radiation from the sun can cripple telecommunications system, causing damage and even endanger the life (VIVAnews).

Bull's head symbol was replaced with the letter A and the symbol of banyan replaced with the letter X. AX = Armani Exchange.

Making logo t-shirt similar to the Garuda bird is reaping a lot of criticism. This is a symbol of state abuse, Garuda bird is a symbol of the country should be respected. As a top desaigner Giorgio Armani should create an original work and does not trace, let alone that the trace is the symbol of the state. Coat of arms of Indonesia, Garuda bird, created by the founders of the struggle by the people of Indonesia and is permanent, not a model that can be changed by anyone. Said one commentator on the social networking twitter.

But there are also commentators who support and even proud, because the symbol of Indonesia became the inspiration for a designer Giorgio Armani from the United States

The Education For Asia Africa

Until recently, people in many parts of Asia and Africa lived mainly from the land. They had little need or opportunity o learn, to read and to write. This situation has changed as the nations have begun to develop industrially. Children growing up in these nations today have a need for education. They also have a right to education. In 1948 the United Nations declared that this right is one of the fundamental rights of all human beings.

But many problems must be solved before every boy and girl in the world can be taught to read and write. One of the most serious problems is the lack of teachers. In some rural areas, teachers are badly needed, but the life is hard and lonely. Teachers prefer teaching in the cities.

Sometimes there is a special need for teachers of particular subjects. In Africa, for example, there is a great shortage of teachers of science, mathematics, English and French.

In many of the newly formed countries, educated people cannot be spared to teach. They are called on to serve their governments.
