US space station will fall in southern Michigan



Tianjong-1

Parts of southern Michigan are among the areas most likely to be hit by the wreckage of China's space station (Tiangong-1), according to the US Space Research Organization (AROS).

Northern China, central Italy, northern Spain, the Middle East, New Zealand, Tasmania, South America, South Africa, and the northern states of the United States have been identified as areas with high chances of falling debris, the Daily Mail reported on its website on Sunday.

Some reports indicated that the Chinese space station, weighing about 8.5 tons, loaded with some chemicals, including dangerous hydrazine.

Most parts of China's space station are supposed to burn during its flight to the atmosphere, but about 10 to 40 percent are expected to remain.

China issued an official statement on Sept. 14, 2016, predicting that the Tianjong-1 space station would enter the atmosphere in the latter half of 2017.

Astronaut Valkyrie

NASA Valkyrie Robot

Revealed the U.S. space agency NASA launched a female robot named " Valkyrie " , may be the leading space that explore Mars in the future .

Featuring Valkyrie characteristics of several make them " champions superhero " on what scientists say center " Linden Johnson " Space NASA , who designed them in order to participate in a contest for robots evaluate the benefit of the U.S. Defense Department , known as the " DARPA " in 20 of the month.

The length of the " Valkyrie " 1.9 meters and weighing 125 kilograms , while flexibility is up to 44 degrees from the axis of rotation in the joints , and are run through a battery mounted on its back , able to work for an hour .

Valkyrie equipped with video cameras and sensors , and can manage her head and bow , and go on their own land is Mistoaho controlled remotely , as well as the leadership of some of the means of transport, and pick up things and deal with them .

The advantage of " Valkyrie ," it can change hands when Tatlhma in a few minutes , which is covered with a layer of cloth to protect them and bring them closer to human nature .


NASA has announced that the main objective of the development of " Valkyrie " is to create robots able to work in times of disaster rescue crews to help mankind , but it may work in the future to explore the world of space .


Iron Man true to go to Mars


Revealed and NASA about the latest robot or a human being to own under the title of " Valkyrie "  came similar to a large extent with the design of a robot sci-fi series famous " Iron Man " or Iron Man , but appropriated for a new task , a climb to space , specifically in the special mission Mars .

According to the bulletin site Mashable , on Friday , Robot NASA new was built to care research and rescue , which is equipped with sonar , cameras built inside of the head to toe , and battery back giant , and although the arms and legs are not the same flexibility of normal human to the robot moves the same way , which would be important for the study of the limits of human motion on the surface of Mars .

"It is likely that NASA will send robots before astronauts to the Red Planet " , this was confirmed by Nicholas Rad ford , head of the Laboratory "Dexterous" robots at NASA , during a video about " Valkyrie ," and added , " These robots will format the way for explorers humans, while up humans will work with robots along . "

He went on the site that " Rad ford " wants to play robots NASA flights to Mars with the help of people in the building of houses and laying the foundations of civilization in the planet human second , which means that these robots help would take a major shift in the world of robots , which can now help in cleaning the house , for example.



New robot , which looks like " Iron Man " and especially with the ball glowing in the chest , will compete with another group of robots in the project challenged the Defense Advanced Research Agency's , a competition comparing robots in parts such as strength and dexterity to determine which of them would be better to spread in cases of emergency would be very dangerous to humans .

discovery of a new planet like Earth

planet like Earth


Enables astronomers for the first time to determine the actual color of a planet outside our solar system, by the Space Telescope «Hubble», a planet with a blue color is like the color of the earth

But the similarities between the two planets stand at this point, it seems, this planet which is located about 63 light-years from Earth «600 billion kilometers» in the constellation of the fox, which was launched by the scientists name «H d 189 733 B», is a gaseous planet floating in orbit close to its sun, and does not constitute in any way constitute a suitable environment for life and evolution. 

The rising temperature of the planet to a thousand degrees Celsius, and winds blowing on the surface speeds up to seven thousand miles per hour, and it came «Rain of Glass», recounted came in a statement to the European Space Agency. 

Several studies have been conducted on this planet through a telescope «Hubble» and other telescopes, but the first time ever that a team of researchers at the University of Exeter, led by British Frederic Pont determine the color of a planet outside our solar system. 

In order to determine the color of the planet, scientists deliberately to measure reflected light from the surface, a property called «Alipido». 

A statement by the European Space Agency to measure the color of the planet «is the first of its kind», he added: «We can imagine the shape of the planet if we look at it directly». 
But the heavenly blue of the planet is not the result of a reflection of the oceans and seas, as is the case in the planet, but also for a turbulent atmosphere and hazy, a key author in the form of hydrogen gas, and bearing silicate particles that radiate in blue. 
Frederic Pont says: «difficult to pinpoint the factor that causes the color in the atmosphere of any planet, even in relation to the planets of our solar system», he added: «This new surveillance operations, a step in this area». 

Classified as a planet «H d 189 733 B» in the category of planets «Buyer warm» a designation launches on gas giant planets that swim in an orbit close to its sun, this planet, for example, is the star, a distance equal to one to 30 from a distance of Earth from the sun, that is the nearest near to its sun than Mercury to our sun 10 times. 
This planet is a course on its sun in 53 hours, which has a mass equivalent to 1.1 of the mass of Jupiter. 

Since the nineties 20th, astronomers monitor 900 a planet outside our solar system, orbiting its sun, and recent studies have estimated that the number of these planets in the universe to billions.

Hubble scientists convey a deeper look at the universe



International transfer Hubble telescope beyond the look of the universe so far, succeeded the long process of imaging "X-EDF" using the telescope to detect about 5500 galaxy away from the ground up to 2.13 billion light-years away.

This came according to the Institute "STS CTV" Space Research Tuesday (local time) to the U.S. city of Baltimore.

A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, the equivalent of about ten trillion miles.

The Garth Elinjurth from the University of California at Santa Cruz in a statement about the "X-EDF" that this process represents further look achieved scientists in space cosmic and they reveal weaker and farther galaxies observed by scientists so far, adding: This process enables us to look past the universe farther than ever before.

Found on a planet like earth may be valid for life



Announced an international team of researchers to find the planet looks like a large planet in the star system is close to the solar system.

Researchers are likely to be the planet fit for life The planet revolves around a star dwarf at a distance from it to allow water gonorrhea, and as the researchers pointed out, today, in the magazine "Asrovizakal Journal Letters The researchers said: "This new planet is discovered to be the best candidate by the conditions for the existence of liquid water and perhaps life as we know it", as explained Dr Guillem Anglada Escudé of the Carnegie Endowment for Science in Washington, which has become now works at the University of Göttingen.

However, the researchers emphasized that they do not know yet whether there really is water or any kind of life on this planet or not Researchers describe is called "Super Earth" on each planet outside our solar system does not grow much from the ground and consists of rocks such as land The large land mass discovered by scientists now four and a half times the mass of the earth And spins of the planet around the sun every 28 days. 

As the star around which the dwarf is classified under class "or" between the stars, and younger than a lot about our sun, this planet that was discovered just now present on the distance appropriate to provide a temperature that allows the existence of water in the case of liquidity, is the liquid water is a prerequisite to the availability of life form known to us.

Comets and found life on planet Earth



A study conducted by the modern scientific researchers, U.S. American Society of Chemical Sciences and the ground comets that contributed Kperfy create ways of life on the surface of the planet through her pregnancy Alriisieh of the components required by human beings to be able to life on Earth.


The Ostreetlme of the NASA Aeronautics and space science to Tatheralamznb on the planet and they confirmed that the amino acids which is Hgrabanna to the existence of life on the planet had existed after the guilty escape from extreme heat and shock waves set off by the comet after the collision surface of the planet.

The researchers said the mix of energy, water and amino acids that meet with each other to be the protein could be the main reason for the occurrence of a chemical reaction the first component to it.

They said many of the comets, asteroids and meteorites, which are due to periods of time immemorial may be the cause of the spread of large groups of these components on the planet of his time in the primitive .. For arguing that there is just too much of comets and huge balls of frozen gas

In addition to the dust - ice and rock that measured up to 10 kilometers around the sun in the form of packages so far away from a more distant planet, but it was liberated and approached directly from our solar system.

And confirmed the current scientific evidence that life is cropped on the planet since the 3.8 billion year ago, during the period known as the "late heavy bombardment" when you hit the planet huge groups of comets and asteroids

Noting that by that time the planet was very hot and there is evidence to suggest the presence of water or amino acids by making life impossible on its surface.
