This secretive picture taken by the Mars Spirit Rover was taken in 2004 shortly after landing safely on the red planet. However not until January 2008 when it was identified by an amateur astronomer pouring over the images, was the discovery bought to the publics attention.

Martian Landscape and Figure & No.5

Martian Landscape and Figure & No.5

To some, the image shows what appears to be a female figure with her head turned away from shot with her arm posed across her waist whilst sitting on a martian rock. Also of interest within the image is what appears to be the number ’5′ etched into the nearby martian dust.

Given our interest in the martian landscape and the continued search for extraterrestrial life on the planet it is not surprising that the connection was made. However, past ‘sightings’ of strange structures (1976 photographs of the Cydonia region of Mars) have of course been identified, which following a further fly past by the rover team revealed the ‘face on mars’ to be nothing more than martian rocks distorted through shadows.

Which Planets Are Visible From The Night Sky?

April 3, 2009 by James Hewson  
Filed under Stargazing

Five of the major planets in our solar system are adequately bright enough to be visible from the night sky. These planets comprise of Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Mars the Red Planet, along with Saturn. In spite of the fact that their luminosity alters as their locations comparative to the Earth fluctuate, however, they all, with the exclusion of Saturn, come to be clearer in our sky than the clearest star.

At the furthest point, the gradient amongst the Sun and Venus is approximately 45 degrees when Venus can rise or set longer than 3 hours ahead of, or following, the Sun. However, Mercury, which is positioned considerably nearer to the Sun than Venus, continues to be at all periods very close to the Sun in the sky and generally can be viewed with the naked eye, under good environmental conditions for only a handful of days close to each elongation.

Considering that Mercury’s trajectory is more noticeably elliptic than that of any of the additional planets which can be viewed with the naked eye, its largest extension can radiate beginning with as brief as 15 degrees to the largest of around 27 degrees. Jupiter, Saturn and mars the red planet are located further from the Sun than Planet Earth given these planets motions are slower along their trajectories than Earth. Consequently, the planets intermittently apprehends and passes, each of them. When this occurs, the planet that is being passed by the Earth, is positioned on the opposed side of Planet Earth from the Sun. This position which the planets find themselves is referred to as ‘opposition’.

When ‘opposition’ occurs, a planet is observable for the majority of the night-time, ascending close to the period of sunset and setting around the period of sunrise when it is, at its nearest to the Earth.

From then on, as planet Earth manoeuvres in advance of the planet, the planet looks to drift closer to the Sun in the sky, setting in the west increasingly earlier up to the time it is lost in the brightness of the setting Sun. Observed from the Earth, the planet next crosses behind the Sun before starting to develop on its westerly side and becoming noticeable in the easterly sky ahead of the sunrise.

Evidence of Life Existence on Mars ALH84001 Meteorite

ALH84001 is a small but very significant meteorite which fell to Earth from space. The meteor landed in a region of Antarctica known as the Allen Hills ice field and was later discovered in December 1984 by an United States meteorite hunting expedition. These fields where the rock was located are regularly explored by researchers watching for asteroids given the ice and snow make a great contrasting backdrop to identifying anomalous substances upon the vast expanses of snow and ice. When it was discovered the space rock weighed around 4.3 pounds and was shaped like a house brick and measured around 6″ long by 4″ x 3″, and was encased within a black glass substance. The glass, named fusion crust, deposits itself on all meteorites when they blaze throughout the Planets atmosphere upon re-entry.

Meteor ALH84001 Life on Mars?

Meteor ALH84001 Life on Mars?

The record of the meteorite can be re-established from the geology and chemical composition of the rock itself. The rock undeniably began life on Mars and gas inclusions comprise gases indistinguishable to those on modern Mars in compound and isotopic structure, which are constructed in no other known planet other than Mars. The meteor is volcanic, and hardened throughout its 4.5 Billion year lifespan. The rock proceeded throughout at least 2 collisions on Mars, most likely neighbouring crashes, about 4 Million tears ago. The carbonates that were interpreted to be fossils developed subsequently, around 3.6 billion years, in grooves in the rock. The specimen was dislodged from the Martian surface around 16 million years ago probably by some form of massive Asteroid collision and continued to drift in space for the majority of interviening the period before descending to Earth approximately 12,500 years ago.

The verification for alien life within the meteor, as claimed by scientists in the late mid 1990′s is principally presented on two levels of evidence; PAH’s, and magnetite beads.

PAH’s

Scientists evidently conceived this was their optimal indication for alien life in the form of fossilised bacteria, however this has been totally dispelled given Science has in the intervening period determined that the presence of PAH which is effectively ‘Soot’, is not relevant within the argument supporting this theory. It has since been revealed that the denseness and compound dissimilarity of the PAHs is wholly coherent with a non biological beginning.

Magnetite

Probably, the best indication that these genuinely are fossils is the attendance of magnetite beads. These appear precisely like the magnetite beads in magnetotactic Micro-organisms in measurement and structure, moreover if created on Earth would be thought over to be noncontroversial “magnetofossils”. Magnetite can be manufactured synthetically, but to our current knowledge is presented naturally, only in a biological form. The bigger particles are known as single domain magnets, the likes of the inner magnetosome particles, and the slighter specimens are known as super magnetic, similar to the periplasmic crystallizations caused by a variety of the magnetotactic family.

Carbonate deposits

The noticeable suggestion for existence in this asteroid is what look to be fossil micro-organisms within the carbonates that were created there 3.6 billion years ago. They appear as rod formed Micro-organisms, and this is almost certainly what gave rise to the great curiosity in this claim. At present there are two serious apprehensions about these alleged Martian fossils; their dimensions, and the source of the carbonates. The fossils are tiny much shorter than conventional Micro-organisms at 20-100nm. The proportion allocation of the fossils is also troublesome given Earth bound microbic communities characteristically are moderately narrow in proportion, however the Martian fossil differ additionally by 100 times in capacity.

Fossilised Micro Organisms?

Fossilised Micro Organisms?

In spite of the fact that the PAH and carbonate proof has turn out to be less than persuasive, the magnetite information have stood up to scrutiny much better. More recently, successions of magnetite beads that appear exactly like those discovered in the cytol of magneto tactic specimens have been located within other samples from ALH84001 and in additional associated Martian rocks.

Nevertheless, all of the assertions about the magnetite beads in ALH84001 are challenged, and corresponding beads have been integrated by reproducing alternative plausible records of the meteorite in the research laboratory.
One characteristic of the ALH84001 space rock which is evident is the reality that it journeyed from Mars to Earth. Additional asteroids have completed the journey in far less time than ALH84001, and so it looks distinctly possible that if there is life on Mars, it may possibly have been carried here, conceivably living.

Constellations Libra Names of Stars

Filed under Star Constellations

The two constellations Libra names of Stars in Libra, Alpha along with Beta Librae are both astronomical highlights meriting seeing with the naked eye, field glasses and scopes. Furthermore, these two Libran stars are a portion of the romance and secrets of Libra.

Alpha Librae is a colourful twin typically depicted as radiant by viewers. The stars are conventionally characterized as bright white and radiant yellow and Beta Librae has for many periods been specified as the unique single star perceptible in the celestial sphere. Beta Librae for many eras has been referred to as the exclusive green star observable to the naked eye.

The majority of observers and many astronomers conceive there are no perceivable green stars. The agreed wisdom is that the human optical structure will translate ranges climaxing at concise wavelengths as white with a blue shade and ranges culminating at long wavelengths as white with a reddish-orange hue. However, characteristically green stars are practically never referred to. But seasoned astronomers understand that Beta Librae has subsisted as a green star over several eras. This brings us to the occasional green quality of Bea Librae takes leads to the past to a pair of the old enigmas connected with Libra.

In spite of the fact that astronomers understand the two clearest stars of Libra as Alpha and Beta, the stars have been studied for so long that they have favoured titles. Furthermore, their favourite names are two of the most interesting in the heavens.

Alpha Librae is called, “Zubenelgenubi,” and Beta Librae is known as, “Zubeneschamali.” These are both derive from the Arabic language and from a very peculiar age when the Roman empire controlled the known world. Those two designations touch on one of the biggest puzzles of the zodiac. The designation Zubenelgenubi stands for ‘The Southern Claw’ and Zubeneschamali designates ‘The Northern Claw.’ At some spot throughout the supremacy of Rome, the academics of the period agreed to modify the zodiac and for rationales as yet unknown decided to remove the group of stars Libra by uniting the stars of Libra with the stars of Scorpius.

Libra continues to be unequalled amid the zodiac signs and it is the only zodiac symbol that is lifeless, if you analyse all the other characters you will see they are persons, creatures, bugs and so forth – only Libra is not a living object.

Big Bang Theory Doppler Redshift Effect

March 23, 2009 by James Hewson  
Filed under Science

The big bang speculation is the most modern variant of speculation about the origins of our universe which dates back over 25 centuries, ever since the Greek philosophers Thales and Anaximander questioned what the universe was constructed of and where it derived. The Big Bang Theory is realistic sciences favoured interpretation for the origins of the universe and is a generally agreed theory for the origin and development of our cosmos. Establishment of galaxies and great scale structure, the Big Bang template provides a outline in which to grasp the collapse of matter to shape galaxies and other wide-ranging structures studied in the universe to this day.

The expression “Big Bang” is used both in a restricted understanding to relate to a point in time when the studied enlargement of the universe (also known as Hubble’s law) started, and in a more universal maanner to refer to the predominant cosmological archetype illustrating the origin and development of the universe. The theory depicts that the cosmos was once a compact, hot body of material that blew up and has been increasing in size since the outset, some 10 to 20 billion years previously. One cosmologist has proposed that the substance shaping our universe blasted out from the “Big Bang” at a velocity quicker than the speed of light.
Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity revealed that the cosmos must be contracting given that Einstein proved gravity transforms the direction of light but failed to speculate that gravity can therefore, increase or decrease the speed of light. Einstein realized that his calculations revealed that the universe must be either expanding or contracting, but that it would not be standing still, considering that if it were then gravity would draw all the galaxies towards one another. Einstein ultimately came to embrace a restricted universe and would later express this was his biggest error in his conviction that velocities above the speed of light were unobtainable.

The original revelation that galaxies shaped clusters was a great surprise to astrophysicists seeing that the Big Bang theory would foretell otherwise. The Big Bang theory disobeys many laws of science that are verified daily by theory, observation and experimentation.

The hypothesis was first founded by Edwin Hubble and Milton Humason in 1929 and came to be recognized as the Hubble Redshift Hypothesis. Hubble discovered that extremely vague galaxy clusters were emanating light with a redshift. The redshift of remote galaxies means that the Universe is almost certainly increasing. The Redshift Theory ultimately has the planet Earth at the core of the universe considering that almost all galaxies are moving apart from the Earth and white light discharged by a static object will develop as redshift light if the speed is decelerated for any reason. This is precisely what experts believe the redshift calculations display. To put it in simpler terms, if the light from a considerably distant solar system is white, the galaxy is in fact travelling toward us given that a light from a stationary galaxy at that distance would have a regular redshift.

The opposing science to the Redshift Theory is vast and the Big Bang Theory is therefore suffering grave vulnerability amongst experts. The redshift is expressed to be the additional “evidence” that a Big Bang took place. There are three potential interpretations to the redshift viewed in the spectra of further remote stars, Evolutionists assert that the velocity redshift theory is the only motive of the spectral redshift. However, there are two other sources of redshifts, which have been substantiated by science, and these better illustrate the various anomalies accompanying redshifts. The first being the tired light redshift in which light progressively decelerates as it journeys over long expanses and secondly the gravitational redshift in which light loses drive as it crosses the gravitational ranges of stars.

The fact that we can gauge redshift in the light from remote constellations informs us that the galaxies are growing less visible to us, and from each other. As the universe increased and chilled, so the method of matter building commenced which induced the construction of stars, planets, constellations etc.

In spite of the fact that the big bang theory is well known, many believe the concept to be greatly misconstrued. This renders one of the biggest and significantly most important aspects of our existence being constantly researched, updated and cultivated. Because of these apprehensions and difficulties, along with others, some scientists now sense that the Big Bang Theory is deeply unacceptable as an interpretation of the universes beginnings.
