Girl Found Supernova

 

A girl was 10 years old Canadian became the youngest inventor of a supernova or exploding star, according to the Royal Astronomical Association of Canada (RASC).

 Kathryn Aurora Gray of Fredericton in the eastern province of New Brunswick was found something rare in the last week as she combed dozens of imaging results in a telescopic star constellations in a galaxy far away.

"RASC is pleased to announce the discovery of a supernova by an amateur astronomer aged 10 years and thus became the youngest who can found supernova," the association said in a statement.

While observing a supernova in the constellation 2010lt camelopardalis stars in the galaxy, a distance of 240 light years from Earth, Gray immediately told his father who was an amateur astronomer named Paul.

The discovery was later proved by two American astronomers reported to the Board prior to the Joint Center for International Astronomy for Astronomical Telegrams.

Supernova are massive stars that run out of fuel and destroyed by the burden of its own gravity and become very dense objects called neutron stars.

Then they issued a shock wave that blew the star, and generate a vibrating radiation circle.

Outbreak was the most amazing phenomenon for astronomers and can be known when the powerful explosion created the dramatic lighting that eventually fade.

oldest human fossils found ...

The team of archaeologists from the University of Tel Aviv found the oldest human fossil in the world to an estimated age of 400,000 years. The fossil consists of eight teeth are in fact already found in 2006, but the analysis to find out was only done this year. The fossil teeth were found in Cave Qesem, Rosh Ha'Ayin, Israel.

"One tooth was found in the lining of the cave which is approximately 400,000 years old, while the other tooth was found in the age of approximately 200,000 years," said Avi Gopher, head of research.

According to Gopher, is a fossil tooth fossils of Homo Sapiens has ever seen. Age 400,000 years owned this tooth fossil fossils from Africa beat 200,000 years old, that fossils are the oldest fossils so far believed. Judging from its age, estimated the fossil teeth were from the Middle Pleistocene.

This discovery, says Gopher, could open new questions about the origins of mankind. With these results, humans may not develop from Africa as it is known as the theory of "Out of Africa", but evolved from the Middle East, where the fossil tooth was found.

The findings and analysis of fossil tooth age was later published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology. Today, the excavations in Cave Qesem continue.

"This serves to reveal any additional findings which can confirm the current findings and to understand human evolution," said Gopher.

Together with the fossil bones of this gear, he added, were also found fragments of stone tools used to cut meat and other equipment. Findings to be evidence of human social relations at that time who are familiar with the hunt, the habit of cutting and dividing the flesh of animals and the making of fire.

new comets found

Satellite Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has been successfully used to find the 2000 comet since its launch 15 years ago. These findings make it as a satellite skip comet discoverer of all time.

Comets to 2000 have been found by SOHO announced on December 26, 2010 and by NASA. The inventor is Michal Kusiak, astronomy student at Jagiellonian University, Poland.

Ability SOHO comet find quite interesting. Because, SOHO basically not designed to examine the comet. When launched the first time, SOHO was in charge of examining the sun's atmosphere called the corona.

When the orbit and imaged the sun, SOHO hinder the brightest and send the image to earth. Astronomers detect the comet with the view that there are spots on the bright side, a marker of a comet.

Travel satellites to find the 2000 comet takes 15 years. The time needed to step on the number 1000 is 10 years, while the time required to find the next comet in 1000 only 5 years old.

SOHO comet discovery involving 70 people with amateur and professional astronomers from 18 countries. Keseluruhanya do so voluntarily. They observed that the resulting image of the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (Lasco), SOHO's cameras.

For coordinates, use a site to report the findings. Karl Battams which currently manages the site said, when he discovered the comet, astronomers will report directly to the site.

Furthermore, Karl will confirm the truth of every comet is found and give unofficial numbers. Data that has been given the number sent to the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge and then given an official name.

Karl Battams reveals, "There are a lot of knowledge that can be achieved by the existence of this comet. First, we know there are more comets in the solar system. They can tell where they came from and destroyed."

"Almost the entire comet discovered by SOHO comes from the same source," said Battams. according to him, 85% of the comets come from a larger comet named Kreutz which destroyed several hundred years ago.

Comets discovered with SOHO or family called Kreutz are "shepherd the sun". They moved closer to the sun and then evaporate in a few hours after its discovery.

Michal Kusiak, the inventor of the comet to 2000 alone, including an accomplished amateur astronomer. He found his first SOHO comet in 2007 and until now has been discovered 100 comets.

new ocean in africa

The geologists who conduct research in the Afar region of Ethiopia, said that 10 million years a new ocean is formed. Ocean it will split Africa into two parts.

The process of forming a new ocean has actually started from the year 2005. At that time, cracks formed along the 60 kilometers in Ethiopia. In the last 10 days the cracks had widened to 8 feet. The development of cracks is quite surprising because in theory, under normal conditions, cracks as wide as it can only be achieved in 230 years.

Cracks caused by heat encouragement and soft rock from the earth. According to scientists, the encouragement of the earth's surface causing cracks. Within 5 years later revealed that the cracks continue to widen.

So far, the eruption that occurred in the basement are still ongoing. Consequently, in the end region of Ethiopia and Somalia will be separate from the African Continent. When two separate regions, will form the strait which later developed into the sea and eventually the ocean.

"The cracks will split even further. The southern part of Ethiopia and Somalia will separate, creating a new island. And, we will have a small African and other large floating island in the Indian Ocean," said James Hammond, seismologists Bristol University who examined the Afar.

Dr Tim Wright from the University of Oxford in England said, "This is very unusual." Previously, when found in 2005, he said, "these cracks will be connected to the Red Sea so they can fill with water and form the ocean."
