There is nothing quite like being surrounded by a zombie-infested archipelago! This special Third Person Standalone version of How to Survive reinvents the third-person action adventure game with a brand new behind-the-back camera perspective that challenges players to survive in a whole new way. They must then hunt, harvest, craft, research technology, and build shelters to protect against scorching days, freezing nights, volatile weather systems, dangerous wildlife, and potential enemies
To alter a photograph or take something out of context is really not difficult and anybody can do so with just basic knowledge of a computer and a digital camera. If there is no life out there other than earth then why do scientists keep on exploring the galaxy? Scientist are so eager to find life on other planets because they believe that its possible for life to be out there other than earth itself
Why are atoms mostly empty space? - Bad Astronomy : Bad Astronomy
The collisions scientists are interested in are those between the virtual particles, because they have most of the mass and hence energy to create novel particles. what was that show, Bad something or other by a certain Dr Phil P-something? Seriously, I think there are occassional good science related shows and references in popular culture incl
AST 101: Homework Solutions
Solar activity refers to the short-lived phenomena on the Sun, including the emergence and disappearance of individual sunspots, prominences, and flares. Sunspots tend to form at lower latitudes as the cycle progresses and at each solar minimum the Sun's entire magnetic field flips turning the magnetic north into the magnetic south and vice versa
Alien Sky - TV Tropes
This is a major plot point, as when the moon eclipses the sole sun remaining on one side of the planet (after the others have all set), which happens every 2049 local years, Lagash's people go insane and destroy their civilization. But if you dig in and read the creation lore in The Silmarillion, you find out that the Sun is a piece of golden fruit and the Moon is a silver flower, plucked from the branches of the light-bearing trees Laurelin and Telperion before they died
The Mayan Prophecy of 2012
While it is clear we are living in times of great uncertainty and great imbalance, we need to realize that terrorizing ourselves by energizing fear-based rumors does not assist us in rising to the great challenges we face. Rather than looking to the world to show us our path, we need to look deep within and listen to our inner sense of how to navigate these times of great unknown
2014 Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar - The Atlantic
Although this galaxy is huge (50,000 light years across), and is one of the brightest galaxies visible from Earth, it still lies just beyond the limit of naked-eye visibility. Blue and red supergiant stars, star clusters, and star-forming regions are visible across the spiral arms, and many more distant galaxies are visible in the background

(The other three are Messier 15 in the constellation Pegasus, Palomar 6 in Ophiuchus and NGC 6441 in Scorpius.) The planetary nebula in the Sagittarius Cluster, designated GJJC1 is believed to be only 6,000 years old and has a blue star at the centre. Tau Sagittarii is well known to astronomers as the closest visible star to the origin of the Wow! signal, the first and only radio signal ever received that indicated the possibility of extraterrestial intelligence
It was catalogued by the British astronomer Stephen Groombridge in the early 19th century in his Catalogue of Circumpolar Stars, published posthumously in 1838. Alioth belongs to the Ursa Major Moving Group (Collinder 285), a group of stars that includes most of the brightest stars in the constellation Ursa Major
Galaxy Models
Pioneering simulations of galaxies performed by Ostriker and Peebles (1973) also revealed that the inclusion of the massive halo will stabilize a galaxy disk against strong axisymmetric instability. We can suppose that many of the properties we study in galaxy dynamics can be understood using a very simple approximation composed of following models
"Get a Straight Answer"
There is a story of a communication satellite (I think of NASA's TDRSS system) which made Earth orbit safely, but the engine which was to take it to its final orbit at 42000 kilometers (6.6 Earth radii) failed. What's the differences between LIGHTSPEED, HYPERSPACE, and WORMHOLE? I can understand about lightspeed, but I don't know if a wormhole could be used in space travel
L LAGRANGE POINTSLagrange points (named for Josef Lagrange, the Italian-French mathematician who discovered them) are a set of five special points that occur between two large objects. LE VERRIER, URBAINUrbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier (1811-1877) was a French astronomer who predicted the existence and position of the planet Neptune using orbital calculations
StarsIntro
Brightness and distance In the second century BC, the Greek astronomer Hipparchus divided the stars into six brightness groups called magnitudes (now apparent visual magnitudes (m or V), first magnitude the brightest, sixth the faintest. In our part of the Galaxy there is on the average only about one atom of gas per cubic centimeter and one grain of dust per cubic meter, but volumes are so large that the ISM constitutes more than 10 percent of the Galaxy's mass
Weird Astronomy - Atomic Rockets
In theory, highly advanced aliens could live on such planets, being unobservable from outside while exploiting the high energies and large time dialtions available. If it can be exploited for oxygen propellant, then it would be a better place to get it than the Moon (which has a rather steep gravity well).Also, while I'm generally wary of tether schemes, I must admit that they might be useful for transferring stuff from Deimos to Earth
The Incredible Design of the Earth and Our Solar System
In fact, nearly all large planets have been found to be closer to their stars than the earth is to the Sun (which would remove all rocky planets in the habitable zone from those systems). If most of the crust of the earth had not been blown away during the formation of the moon, the earth would have no continents, but would be completely covered by water (see The Moon And Plate Tectonics: Why We Are Alone from spacedaily.com)
The faint outer parts of a spiral galaxy are more susceptible to warping because they are less strongly bound by the gravitational and other forces that keep disk stars in a plane and are also more susceptible to the influence of neighboring galaxies. In this 2010 infrared image, dust heated by newborn, massive stars are depicted in yellow and red, which trace out the spiral arms, while mature stars are colored blue (more)
Next clue - the current 11 year Sun Spot Cycle has passed the minimum (sun spot activity should have begun over a year ago and has not for the first time ever). An essay by JMJ covering some of the subjects discussed in the book, has been posted at Graham Hancock's website, along with another essay, Alignment 2012, covering his book, Maya Cosmogenesis 2012
March 14, 2008 at 1:31 pm drb While you are addressing cool things about the Milky Way, perhaps you could speak to, or speculate about what goes on as you approach the galactic center. And of course, BABloggees are smarter, more well-read, and better looking than the average population, but be honest: do you know all ten of these things? Really? Liar
