In commemoration of the Moon walk

Published by Ian under Articles, Cosmos categories on July 20, 2009

Earth reflecting sun light; photo from apollo 11 close to the moon surfaceJuly the 21st 2009,  40 years ago the man landed on the Moon becoming the top from an era of remarkable achievements, as the nuclear power and the electronic computer. We would like to make a tribute to this epic, and overview the next frontiers of space exploring in spite of the slow down of such strategic innovation. Read the rest of this entry »

New development powerfully enhances the search of extraterrestrial life

Published by Ian under Cosmos, News categories on May 13, 2009

Radio-telescope array pointing to sky. Appearing the film "contact"A scientific team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), may be able to remotely find extraterrestrial life, (e.g. from a large telescope or spaceborne instruments), elsewhere in the Universe by looking for left (or right) handed light reflected on its home planet.

Living in a hologram

Published by Carl under Cosmos, News categories on March 16, 2009

Eskimo nebula photoSeven years ago, GEO600 started to look for gravitational waves (ripples in space-time thrown off by super-dense astronomical objects such as black holes). GEO600 has not detected gravitational waves so far, but it might have made the most important discovery in physics for half a century: Our Cosmos may be sourced from the boundary of Universe as a hologram.

New vision for space program

Published by Ian under Cosmos, News categories on January 18, 2009

Gemini XII Space walk (background earth surface)A team led by MIT researchers have released the most comprehensive independent review of the future of NASA spaceflight program undertaken in many years. The report recommends setting loftier goals for humans in space, focusing research more clearly toward those goals, and increasing cooperation with other nations and private industry.

Accelerator is starting today for future understanding of universe

Published by J. R. under Cosmos, News categories on September 10, 2008

CERN globe dome of science and innovationFirst attempt to circulate a beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is undergoing today, 10 September. This news comes as the cool down phase of commissioning CERN’s new particle accelerator reaches a successful conclusion. Television coverage of the start-up is available through Eurovision.

Astrobiology model predicts deep impact periods with extinctions

Published by Ian under Cosmos, News categories on July 19, 2008

Large impact crater of merteoriteScientists from the Cardiff Center for Astrobiology have developed a model showing that our solar system goes through the plane of the galaxy every 35-40 million years. This is accompanied by comets hurtling into the inner solar system, coinciding with mass life extinctions on Earth. The researchers estimate that we are now in one of the predicted collisions’ period.

Earthquake early warning system may indicate quakes weeks before

Published by J. R. under Cosmos, News categories on July 14, 2008

Highway struture collapsed at Kobe EarthquakeThe project is based on a controversial theory that may gain traction in light of new findings described in a leaked NASA memo about the May 12 earthquake in China’s Sichuan province, when NASA caught early signs of China quake. The researchers hope to create a global network of roughly 20 satellites that would scan for telltale activity that some scientists (and old wives) say precedes large earthquakes.

Accelerator for understanding of Universe

Published by Ian under Cosmos, News categories on April 20, 2008

Drawing of Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator which is being built at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory. When it will switch on in 2008, it will be the most powerful instrument ever built to investigate on particles proprieties.

Questions Shaping 21st-Century Earth Science Identified

Published by J. R. under Cosmos, News categories on March 24, 2008

Earth photo from the moonTen questions driving the geological and planetary sciences were identified in a new report by the National Research Council.  Aimed at reflecting the major scientific issues facing earth science at the start of the 21st century, the questions represent where the field stands, how it arrived at this point, and where it may be headed.

Life is probably spread like islands within oceans of Universe

Published by Ian under Articles, Cosmos categories on February 13, 2008

A whole Galaxy photoIs anybody else out there?  The answer to this old question is: probably yes !

If we assume that depending on the basis of life only certain window of conditions can support it (i.e. within certain range of temperature, gases composition, gravity, electromagnetic radiation, water …) it appears almost impossible to match them, but not so much if we take into account the universe scale.
