Iran To Put Monkey Into Orbit
Iranul intentioneaza trimiterea unei maimutze pe orbita :-D (stire reala totusi)
24.04.2011

Prin luna septembrie mai precis, cu ajutorul rachetei Kavoshgar-4 (K-1 fiind lansata in 2008, iar K-3 in 2010, cu o broasca testoasa, un soarece si citiva viermi la bord). :-P

"Western powers suspect Iran of using its space program to develop ballistic missiles. Iran denies the allegations."
Adica iranienii neaga c-ar utiliza lansarile astea in scopul perfectionarii rachetelor balistice.  :roll:
Care am totusi impresia ca deja pot atinge... Constantza/baza USA de la Kogalniceanu, de pilda.

Avioanele orbitale secrete ale USAF nu se prea pot ascunde de telescoapele observatorilor "amatori": :wink:

[Xanadron]

Telescop "compact", dar f. performant de ultima generatie lansat de DARPA pe orbita, in scopuri clar militare, dar nu numai (se accentueaza posibilitatea localizarii obiectelor f. mici si mobile -  :ufo:, zic eu - pe o arie deloc restrinsa de observatie simultana).

  Pãi o oarecare ºtire ar fi nunta regalã de la Londra (peste 1 milion de persoane au asistat direct, peste 2 miliarde la TV, iar cosmonauþii de pe staþia internaþionalã au transmis un mesaj din partea restului .....cosmosului, ca sã zic aºa)
   Privitã prin prisma ,, hibridizãrii'' casei regale ,prin aceastã mezalianþã cu sângele unor oameni simpli din regat (bunicul miresei a fost miner), care ar fi scopurile urmãrite (în afarã de cele oficiale)?
   Oare dupã naºterea a 2-3 urmaºi va dispãrea într-un mod sau altul ºi aceastã fãtucã?

Stati cu ochii pe cer joi noapte, daca vreti sa admirati o ploaie adevarata de stele cazatoare. E un fenomen frumos, dar si periculos, anunta astronomii.

Meteoritii care intra in atmosfera si nu ard complet pot sa ajunga si pe Pamant. Iar Soarele, stapanul tuturor, ne poate face si el rau.

Ploaia de stele va dura mai bine de trei saptamani. Pe 6 mai atinge insa un maxim: la fiecare ora pe Pamant vor cadea peste 80 de meteoriti. Ca sa-i vedem bine, trebuie sa fim departe de lumina oraselor si, desigur, sa avem noroc de cer senin.

Potrivit astronomilor, meteoritii sunt bucati din cometa Halley, care a trecut pe langa Pamant in 1986. Ca orice cometa, Halley pierde din putere si lasa in urma asa-numitul "praf cosmic"."Pamantul intersecteaza aceasta dara de ramasite pe care le lasa nucleul cometar. In momentul cand acele particule din dara cometei sau asteroidului traverseaza atmosfera terestra, atunci prin frecare ard si noi vedem o dara luminoasa", explica Magda Stavinschi, cercetator la Obsevatorul Astronomic.

Adica o ploaie de stele. Cum unii meteoriti sunt mai mari de un metru, nu reusesc sa arda in atmosfera si ajung pe suprafata Pamantului.

Intre timp, un alt fenomen ii ingrijoreaza pe specialisti. O furtuna solara a lovit polii Pamantului acum trei zile si a provocat pentru scurt timp o scadere a puterii campului magnetic terestru. Din fericire, efectul a fost unul artistic: s-au produs cateva Aurore Boreale foarte frumoase.

Dar furtuna solara, daca ar fi fost mai puternica, putea influenta satelitii terestri, retelele de distributie a energiei electrice si telecomunicatiile de pe tot globul.
