#NASA Scientists Observe The Brightest Explosion Everif you weren't looking at the constellation Leo very early on Saturday morning you probably missed the brightest explosion NASA scientists have observed ever.
or GRB a type of event that's the brightest we know about in the universe.
During a supernova in which a massive star collapses into a black hole neutron star or quark star sometimes a GRB is emitted.
Nobody's exactly sure how GRBS happen but they're observed during a supernova and consist of a tightly focused narrow beam of radiation moving at speeds about as close as you can get to the speed of light without exceeding it.
Imagine compressing a weird space-apple from all sides until a jet of space-apple juice explodes out of a tiny point before the apple turns into a black apple hole.
This is not a perfect analogy. They're also often the source of the perennial superlative of farthest thing we've ever seen
and was seen subsequently by just about any ground-based observation unit that was pointed anywhere near the constellation Leo.
Astronomers often use GRBS to find the supernova from which they emitted; the GRB is so bright that it's a useful way to pinpoint where a supernova may have happened.
NASA says they expect to find that supernova within a couple of weeks. NASA via Smithsonian 35 billion times brighter than visible light.
Wat? beam of radiation moving at speeds about as close as you can get to the speed of light um considering that its a gamma ray burst
Imagine compressing a weird space-apple from all sides until a jet of space-apple juice explodes out of a tiny point before the apple turns into a black apple holei disagree.
Even just the sun is 10 25 times brighter than a lightbulb. Basically the article isn't wrong to talk about brightness it just doesn't do a particularly good job of explaining what that is.
or easy/clean to prepare in a confined space...unless you get it via fast food. Personally I can't stand most fast food
and then cities and acquired the ability to fly to the moon create embryos in the lab and store enormous amounts of information in a space the size of our handily opposable thumbs.
Those in the desert got better at resisting the sun while those in the cold evolved fur or blubber or the ability to use fire.
and exhaust of the planet resources while we pollute it at the same time making the planet uninhabitable for ourselves and other wild life.
Humans need to move off planet Earth establish ourselves in space to achieve this goal
I'd like to remind everyone of one simple fact. 99%extinction rate for planet Earth life forms
In addition to the underlying cause a death certificate has space for up to 20 additional causes. That's where cocaine or antidepressants would show up.
We have tuned a finely infrastructure that we've created to support the billions we have on this planet
He needs to get right on to regulating the Sun Volcanic eruptions and the Electromagnetic Field. They have been causing far too much climate change
Climatologists understand the effect the Sun has on our climate and it's minor compared to
and are willing to espouse the climatologist models without even looking at the data Is the planet warming?
but actually varies across our planet and is averaged. Wind drag can be measured but will also fluctuate based on air density at different altitudes climates and across a distance.
The larger picture will show you that our planet continue to change it's climate with or without our help.
or control but we are the only species on this planet that can do something to save our planet as it is now.
Shouldn't we keep a safe and healthy Planet as a HUGE and IMPORTANT goal?
We have to be arrogant to think we could affect our big ol'planet. You can see the pollution can't you?
-On a separate note the common misconception that volcanos don't have the capacity to kill all life on this planet just from one eruption of CO2 is silly.
Cellulose is the most common carbohydrate--indeed the most common organic material--on the planet so using it for food could be a superb way to feed millions of people they argue.
Life seeds Earth from the cosmos via comets or other alien visitors with some opinions these visitors being divine.
Human s most recent concern will be not the sun in induced cycles of the sun global warming

and knew of all the planets in our solar system even those humans could not readily observe.
Do you think we would not have gone to the moon if not for the Wright Brothers?
Albert Einstein gave up his static theory of the universe when Edward Hubble discoverd that the universe was in fact expanding due to some mysterious energy that can't be seen.
I understand the basics of evolution which has not been backed by empirical studies. Even at its very basic level I see no correlation zero.
Evolutionists can simply use DNA to show that all life on the planet is based on similar DNA
The universe is only 14 billion years old. Life as recorded in the fossil records is much past a billion or so.
The basic concepts of your answer could also be applied to why is planet earth so colorful?

and sure although domestic honey bees and their keepers have issues there are actually around 20000 species of bees on the planet 90%of them are solitary and not social.
A generation earlier Ciba had found space and privacy in the deep woods of Ocean County to manufacture dyes and plastics on a massive scale.

Seems like a market for all the space pioneers.@@Listenup The amount of ignorance and misinformation in your comment blows my mind.
No bees on Mars just sayin...It is GMO crops watch the documentary on Netflix
Where did the asteroid that flew across space come from? Where did the bacteria or whatever that was on the asteroid come from?
If Evolution was a true theory then the moon would be covered with its own life unique from Earth.
Saturn all the planets and stars would be colonies of goo that formed from nothing that just existed for trillions and trillions of years.
Evolution is a religion. If you believe in Evolution then there is no amount of facts or proof that will dissuade your belief.
The first zone will be retail zones two through six will be office space and zones seven through nine will contain a hotel and an observation deck.
The space between them which ranges from 3 to 33 feet provides room for light-filled sky lobbies but it also acts as a Thermos-like insulator so the building needs less active heating and cooling.
and colonize the solar system we have to start somewhere. And it looks like it will all have a Chinese flag on it. markgro
so architects imagine that in the future we'll have soothing green spaces built right into our high-rises.
De Chant advocates spending time and money to preserve ground-level green spaces instead which is a great idea.
I'm as much for saving the planet as the next guy. But why can't we try an idea that makes sense.
so drones are regulated not currently in U s. air space. The FAA is in the process of picking drone-testing sites

Just as with Bush and his constellation project to return to the moon which eventually had to be cancelled
and onto mars but that`s way more expensive then going back to the moon so guess what.
The space race was 90%Nationalism and 10%Curiosity. I'm glad we made it to the Moon (yes crazies we did)
but if not for competing with Russia there's no telling how long it would have been delayed. This spurs competetive research on an international level and (infinitely more important) opens the floodgates on neurological disease treatments and artificial intelligence.
However when you view more forests over the surface of the planet it is clear that no two forests are the same
Every major advancement of science and technology comes with consequences that are not necessarily in the best interests of most of humanity or the rest of our planet.

The media encourages a common misconception that global warming implies warmer temperatures throughout the planet.
#Near-Miss Asteroid Highlights Earth's Risk Of A Nuke-Sized Collisionthe asteroid 2012 DA14 which will come within about 17000 miles of Earth on February 15 is about half the size of a football stadium
Remember the Earth is a moving target traveling around the sun at 65000 miles per hour former astronaut Ed Lu said in a public appearance at the Stanford Institute for Economic policy Research earlier this month.
So the asteroid is missing us by only about 14 minutes. 2012 DA14 highlights Earth's vulnerability to mid-sized asteroids capable of delivering nuclear-sized blasts.
To be clear the asteroid is not going to collide with Earth. But if it did it'd have a devastating impact--one that highlights Earth's vulnerability to a tough-to-detect mainstay of the cosmos:
mid-sized asteroids capable of delivering nuclear-sized blasts. Comparable in size to the asteroid that destroyed 1000 square miles of trees and reindeer in Tunguska Siberia in 1908 2012 DA14 would be very bad news in a direct collision with a populated area.
Imagine a giant explosion in the sky followed by a blast wave that would level buildings knock the Golden gate bridge into the sea and subject an area between San francisco and San jose to total destruction.
There's no launch opportunity âÂ# the asteroid is orbiting back around the sun. Had it been coming back to hit us the only option would have been to evacuate.
With enough warning--preferably decades--an asteroid headed for Earth could be deflected. Ramming a remotely controlled spacecraft against an asteroid to change the velocity by just millimeters per second can avert a collision with Earth.
If that is we have at least 10 years notice before a collision. With less time the change in velocity needs to be far greater.
There are about one million asteroids larger than 40 meters that scientists consider near Earth objects because their paths around the sun crisscross the Earth's orbit.
NASA's near-Earth object office in Pasadena California reports that humans have spotted about 94 percent of the really large civilization-ending near-Earth asteroids âÂ#Âin the 1-to 10
But due to budgetary constraints Lu points out that we have identified the orbits of only 1 percent of the still potentially dangerous medium-sized asteroids of at least 40 meters âÂ#Âlike 2012
which prevents us from seeing asteroids approaching the planet from the inside of Earth's orbit.
Also many asteroids are dark black and reflect less than 10 percent visible light making them hard to spot from Earth.
Lu has raised several million dollars toward a final goal of roughly $400 million through his B612 Foundation to launch a telescope called Sentinel into orbit near Venus. During a proposed 6. 5 year
mission Sentinel will spot asteroids that cannot easily be identified from Earth. If successfully launched in 2018 Lu promises that Sentinel will spot about 500000 NEOS including 90 percent of all NEOS that are more than 140 meters and 50 percent of the Tunguska-sized 40-meter rocks.
Our planet has about a 30 percent chance of getting hit by a Tunguska-sized 40 meter asteroid in the next 100 years--compare that to the 23 percent chance an American has of dying of cancer.
There's about a 1 percent chance of getting hit by a 140-meter asteroid in the next century
or greater asteroid that would destroy all of human life On earth. A 1-kilometer and up asteroid would blanket the hemispheres with enough dirt
and dust to destroy several years of food growing season leading to a Mad Max-like scenario in
so long as we know where the asteroids are well in advance. If you don't know where they are the only warning sign is a flash in the sky and a tidal wave.
and chuck old satellites at them! A DAY WILL COME SOON ENOUGHALL THAT EVER LIVED ON EARTH WILL SOON HAVE THEIR EYES TO THE HEAVENSDO a little History on this one.
This could take out one of more satellites and the junk and debris from the hit could end up taking out many more satellites very soon after that.
All the satellite collision probability will go way up if even one is hit. The velocity that the parts would go to would make them missiles that would start targeting a chain reaction this would not be good.
Most all will be watching this one and pray it goes by us without a hit.
and there is no way anyone for sure can tell how close the second pass will be till it passes by the Moon
and Earth and the GRAVITATIONAL FORCE effect that it will have on this Asteroid. They may come close
Ad a Meteor shower like the 13 and 14 of December of 2012 it might go through
Or a Comet ISON or its tail debris of millions of rocks of all sizes.
Not to for get the 30000+pieces of space junk left from China in 2007 from showing the world it could shoot a decommissioned weather satellite in Space.
Now add Asteroid 2013 BV15 into this on the 13 &14 of Feb 2013..Feb will have 12 of them from the 12 to the 16.
If a big enough Asteroid were to slam into the moon in the night sky you would think the sun was coming up early only it would be 5 to 7 times as bright.
From The Sun's Rays Reflection on all the Debris Field. 2012 XM16 2012 XM55 2012 XP55 THERE ARE OVER 25 found just in the year 2012 that are part of the Near Earth
The PLANETARY DEFENSE is not to protect Earth from men from Mars. It is for all mankind with most all Nation in on it to stop
This Asteroid did not even hit the Ground and this is known by most as the TUNGUSKA EVENT.
If a Meteor shower is big enough you might think all the Stars are falling from Heaven.
Some make it to the surface the signs are all over the Planet and moon from the ones that have.
If you need a visual sign of a collided impact with a planet look to SHOEMAKER-LEVY 9 july 1994.
You Need More Look up PROJECT WORMWOOD Revelations 8: 10-11 based on the TUNGUSKA EVENT 1908 MOSCOW Russia is now saying it will use missiles to intercept Asteroid

Three kings that were flowed wise men once a star with a long tail 2000 years ago.
Will pointing a laser at a meteor months away have any significant impact on it's trajectory?
if they can pull the asteroid off it's orbit and into the moon. The fireworks would be amazing
âÂ#omthe simple fact is meteors like this don't matter. Imagine a worst-case scenario-a direct hit on a population center (New york Bejing Tokoyo Paris Mexico city etc.
and industry on the planet would hardly blink. Unless it was a small country there would be little political impact
All lives matter because unlike a tree in the forest they affect the world beyond the space they take up.
What about satellites and Google earth? he said. What's the difference if you have a picture from a manned aircraft or an unmanned aircraft?
Those applications are numerous according to Patrick Egan an editor at the unmanned systems news site SUAS News and a civilian researcher for the U s army Space and Missile Defense Command.
and court doctrines hold that Americans should have no expectation of privacy in publicly viewable spaces as Gielow put it.
what's happening to our planet. We're pumping Billions of tons of carbon into our atmosphere on an annual basis. This doesn't matter to the deniers.
they do know that the sun is at it's solar high...right? ---I reject your reality and substitute my own.
Artext Yes via the sun cycles the Earth warms they know this. And they also know
how the sun is in its most active state and probably the cause for most of the global warming trend we are experiencing at this time.
Shared multipurpose spaces. To compensate for a dearth of space in the units themselves the architects plan to create communal areas including a roof garden;
lounges; and a ground-floor event space for rehearsals lectures and so on. In all 18 percent of the building's square footage will be used for shared amenities.
It took a little bit of housing-zone fudging to make it all work. Housing codes don't allow for full micro-unit buildings
Nothing like a significant reduction 17-50%in legal regulation size of a dwelling space. Don't be derogetory
There will soon be 6000000000 occupying the face of this planet and birth control will take a full generation perhaps even two generations to even begin to show a sustainable reduction in population.
Isure as hell don't need all of that space living by myself but you probably do. My lot is approx. 4000 square feet.
and beter rapid transit into new york so there would not be need a to cram more people into a smaller space.
Why the hell are we cramming more people into smaller spaces? Fumfurr address your own issues first-your'barb'not withstanding. 1. Your argument about'living standards'being diminished by developers is flawed by reality.
Cramming people into tinier and tinier spaces is just a band-aid. The expansion of public transportation enacting of a living wage better urban planning better public schools etc...
There is also no shortage of space in NY. Just north of the city toward Poughkeepsie (about an hour by train) there is plenty of develop-able land.
The reduced footprint of the smaller dwelling on MY lot (I OWN the land) dwelling provides the space to build my shop separate from the house.
I understand how I use or waste space. So I won't have a pool table in the house.
I like the efficiency of the designs and like living in as small a space as possible.
I really DO NEED not all the space I have; it just makes me happier to have it.
There is simply no need as change is the nature of the Universe. Actually trying to keep things the same is UNNATURAL and dumb.
when the sun is covered by a cloud? What happens at night? have given you any thought at all about the negative consequences of putting solar panels on every rooftop?
From the current warm period being the warmest ever to the sun playing no part.
3. Any increase in the global average temperature is bad for most everyone and everything on the planet.
but whatever it was it apparently went undetected by the 350 million people living on our planet at the time:
A nearby supernova would have sent gamma rays flying in all directions. Those rays would have created high-energy particles in our atmosphere
But in order to send out enough gamma rays to do the trick the supernova would have had to be bigger and brighter than other historical bright spots that were documented in fact.
Yet again no record of a 775 supernova exists. And even if people had missed somehow an exploding star that star's remnants would still be out there today giving out a faint glow that could be picked up by telescopes.
Scientists have identified already 11 such remnants in our Galactic neighborhood but none are the right age to have caused the 775 spike.
a short-duration gamma ray burst produced by the collision of two nearby neutron stars. Though immensely powerful (we're talking two 10-mile wide boulders each with the mass of our sun) the collision would only have been visible from Earth for about a day
which could explain why the event wasn't recorded. The scientists have identified five neutron stars that could have caused the massive burst
and their step is to take a detailed look at those candidates. Wait! So the formation of radioactive isotopes isn't a steady process?
Maybe not if it happened to a location close to the Sun during daylight during summer
#How much Would It Cost To Live on Mars? Infographic Somebody--no one remembers exactly who--once said that there are three things that matter in real estate:
a cramped little lander with inflatable rooms on Mars will cost something in the neighborhood of $200 million.
The cost of space travel per lb is misleading. Not to mention according to this we'll need 1200000-1500000 calories per person per day.
In all of these colonize Mars discussions of late nobody brings up radiation protection. Mars has no magnetic field so that means no protection from solar radiation.
This article seems to make support for Spacex or some other private company to establish humanity on Mars by illustrating cost.
But what about effect or proven end result in a variety of experiences; I know NASA success history
No one should want to live on mars. At least not until they discover water in other locations than the ice caps.
Probably not even the moon Titan though because of ethane and methane instead of h2o and hydrocarbon molecules floating around instead of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
The moon Europa may be the other place in the solar system we should want to live because it might have frozen a body of h2o underneath its surface
Maybe a comet mining company will be able to ship carbon dioxide to Europa in order for carbon dioxide to get to it That would be the secret to establish a colony there
Phone call from Mars? What a stupid idea! Unless you want to hear your party response in 10-30 minutes!!!
Even to the Moon light travels for more than a second each-way. Forget about phone online chat
and stuff like that when you are on Mars. Email would be the best way to communicate.
How does one interpret the different size space ships? How does one compare a handset to PSY?
and heat makes a field. plus we are thinkin wrong about mars. we need big domes one for humans one for livestock
and humans. if we succeed with quantum physics we could had internet and satellite on mars. Also
As humans it wouldnt be hard for us to take over another planet. If theres a will theres a way.
or establish themselves on Mars. The Martian import tax would be murder to us. They are pissed already off our little robots trails are leaving all over their pretty landscape...
technically the cost of living on mars would only be whatever the Earthly based cost would be for the initial go.
Unless subsequent resources were sent from Earth the cost of actually living on Mars would be $0 and a lot of hard labor.
Unless we start a bartering system with mars rocks (in essence taking or creating an economic system)--there would be no monetary expenses as labor would be your sole cost.
Of course it will cost a lot to live on Mars at first. It's just like any other technology
Once we get to Mars and build those first colonies it will be possible to terraform the planet
and make it more sustainable for human life which will mean less expensive technologies will be required to sustain that human presence.
and it will just be a matter of time until a full scale human presence on Mars will be as prominent as the human presence On earth o
