How About...A Supernova and a Blackhole

An animation by NASA
enjoy!

"This animation shows how a black hole may have formed in SN 1979C. The collapse of a massive star is shown, after it has exhausted its fuel. A flash of light from a shock breaking through the surface of the star is then shown, followed by a powerful supernova explosion. The view then zooms into the center of the explosion."

How About...Five Things About Curiosity

Five things you need to know about Curiosity

1. Size: compared to the previous Mars Rovers, Opportunity and Spirit the size of a golf car and Pathfinder the size of a microwave oven, Mars Rover Curiosity is the size of a Mini Cooper.
2. Landing: different from her previous brothers, the landing system for Curiosity will consist on a parachute to slow down its entry and then a rocket-powered backpack that will control the decent until the rover has completely touched down. More precise way of landing compared to the airbags used in Opportunity and Spirit.
3. Tools: ten different instruments will allow Curiosity to examine soil, atmosphere and rocks. The most interesting instrument is the laser that will be capable of vaporizing patches of rock so that it could afterwards carefully examine its organic composition.
4. Wheels: Curiosity has six wheels, each of them with an independent motor drive. Also the two front and rear with independent steering allow Curiosity to take 360° turns on its own place. The wheels' diameter will allow Curiosity to roll over obstacles 75 cm high.
5. Power: the best part of this Mars Rover is its energy source. Compared to Opportunity and Spirit, which worked with solar cells, this Mars Rover will operate with a nuclear battery, allowing it to go further from the equator, where solar power could not be used.

Here are the five facts you need to know about Mars Rover Curiosity.

How About...Eyjafjallajokull

And Eyjafjallajokull continues with his mischievous behaviour.

Once more, Eyjafjallajokull is leaving scientists and society astonished. What you see to your left is the reason why...

Geologist Joseph Licciardi of the University of New Hampshire, caught this amazing picture of Eyjafjallajokull, this incredible ring of steam and gas.

It took five minutes for the ring to dissipate, but explanations are still waiting, scientists have not been able to discover why this happens. This is quite similar to the phenomenon occurred at Mount Etna, Sicily in year 2000 (right)

We must wait and see what else Eyjafjallajokull has for us, in the mean time we should enjoy of the incredible mother nature.

Thanks.
