Life's Building Blocks Found on a Comet: Philae Lander Reveals New Surprises

 

“Twenty-five minutes after Philae’s initial comet touchdown, the COSAC mass spectrometer took a spectrum in sniffing mode, which displayed a suite of 16 organic compounds, including many nitrogen-bearing species but no sulfur-bearing species, and four compounds—methyl isocyanate, acetone, propionaldehyde, and acetamide—that had not previously been reported in comets,” the team announced in the paper’s abstract.

 

Not only does this discovery expand our understanding of cometary composition, it also lends weight to the idea that comets play an active role in distributing organic molecules to planetary bodies.

Kako nisu... danas čak i beskućnici imaju smartfonove.

 

da li bi beskucnik ulagao resurse u istrazivanja? ^_^

 

 

referirala sam na to sto je linus pisao kako treba narodne mase da pritisnu drzave da ulazu vise u nauku.

[nera]

bre Indy, resio si da me upropastis od jutros nacisto ^_^

a i vidis da covek prikuplja grantove za istrazivanje od privatnih lica, tako da ulaze tudje novce a ne svoje.

 

istrolovah temu samo tako, necu vise.

A NASA camera aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured a unique view of the moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month.

The series of test images shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth.

 

The images were captured by NASA’s Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera and telescope on the DSCOVR satellite orbiting 1 million miles from Earth.

From its position between the sun and Earth, DSCOVR conducts its primary mission of real-time solar wind monitoring for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Crappy gif, ali kad se skapira sta zapravo predstavlja

Лоша монтажа, Месец уопште не изгледа тако, ја га гледао

 

ПС сећа ли се неко оног дреша од филма Stargate?

Планета на коју одлазе има три сателита - који сви изгледају као Месец...

Miraleme?

Što bi bilo dobro kada bi ovo stvarno bio neki Alien:

To je kućni ljubimac ove sisate gospođe, izvela ga u šetnju...

Contrasting images taken a year apart clearly show the increased activity on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko as it has moved closer to the Sun. It reaches its closest point later today.

The image on the left was taken on the day of Rosetta's rendezvous from about 121 kilometres out.

 

The image on the right was taken exactly a year later from a distance of 261 kilometres. During this time, the comet has moved from almost 540 million kilometres from the Sun last year to around 186 million kilometres this week.

As the intensity of the sunlight has increased 700% over the year, ices have sublimated, turning into gas, and pouring out into space. The gas drags the dust along with it and together they form the comet’s fuzzy atmosphere, or coma.

 

The comet today reaches its closest point to the Sun along its orbit, known as perihelion. The European Space Agency is celebrating with a Google+ Hangout scheduled for 13:00–15:00 GMT (15:00–17:00 CEST).
