A spy satellite owned by the United States was launched on Sunday (11/21/2010). By the National Reconnaissance Office that designed it, the satellite is said to be the largest satellite in the world without detailing how its size. The satellite is believed will enhance U.S. ability to spy on the enemy.
The rocket used in the satellite launch was the Delta 4-Heavy. The rocket carrying the satellite was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, United States, at 17:58 am local time Monday morning Indonesian time. "The mission is to help ensure that the equipment at the National Reconnaissance Office can continue to enhance our national defense," said U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Ed Wilson.
The NRO has been designing, creating, and operates spy satellites and satellites to serve the needs of U.S. spy agency, the Central Intelligence Agency and U.S. Department of Defense. Delta 4-Heavy rocket itself is a liquid-fueled America's most powerful States. The rocket had been used since 2004. The rocket has a 235 feet high and can carry loads up to 24 tons into earth orbit.
Nano world that can only be seen using electron microscopy was impressive. The world it describes how the particles that make up the objects around us arranged to form a unique structure. In that world, people also can see the Eiffel Tower-like structure and the stack pancakes in size supermini.
Opportunity to explore the nano world can you enjoy together until November 30, 2010. This time, you do not need to use electron microscopy to explore it. You can just come to the Science Film Festival 2010 held at four places, Blitz Megaplex Pacific Place, PPIPTEK TMII, Paramadina University, and Goethe Institut.

When excavated the location of the planned center will be built into the sacred bathing place for Jews in Jerusalem, Israeli archaeologists discovered an ancient pool complex. "Every modern building in the old town was set on top of old buildings. The question now is, whether the parties relating to the religious tolerant enough to accept the other's history.
- Rafi Greenberg, an archaeologist from Tel Aviv Unievrsitas
They soon expect the pool came from the Roman era were buried in the city since nearly 2,000 years ago. The discovery was announced 22 November. Ofer Sion, director of implementation of the excavation Jewis Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, said this discovery will prove that the cities of Roman times greater than previously thought.

The largest lakes on Earth to warm over the last 25 years. This Aviation and Space Agency announced the United States or NASA, on Tuesday (23/11/2010). Heating that occurs in these lakes are known after the researcher Philipp Schneider and Simon Hook of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, observe the 167 lakes on Earth using satellite data.
Many times the scientists revealed his dream to explore Mars by sending a manned mission there. Travel long been one of the barriers that dipertimbangakan mature. The question is whether that sent astronauts to survive and come home safely?
However, the concept of exploration missions to Mars that was recently proposed to ignore the risk. In fact, this mission would be to pave the way humans to Mars invasion. As antarbenus exploration missions in the past that made Columbus and his companions, humans too should be able to survive when deciding to seek new destinations on other planets.
Maybe it's time for you to join in the mission live on Mars, without the need to think again. U.S. space agency (Nasa) is reportedly looking for volunteers who are willing to run the mission to go to Mars without returning. The mission is part of a NASA mission called "Hundred Years Ship" aimed at exploring the possibility of human beings can live on Mars.
To carry out that mission, one of NASA's research institute of Ames Research Center has provided a budget of more than 1 million U.S. dollars. The research team members also receive additional funds 100 thousand dollars per person to prepare the mission.
Dirk Schulze-Makuch from Washington State University and and Paul Davies of Arizona State University in his article published in the Journal of Cosmology say that this mission is a mission that is very promising. Two scientists emphasize that this mission is not a suicide mission. They say that this trip could be the beginning of human colonization of Mars in the long term, making man as a species multiplanet.
Shipping humans to Mars could save costs because the observations do not need to provide fuel to return to earth. The mission can also be an opportunity to "preserve" the human species if one day there are disasters that wipe out entire species on earth.
"There are many reasons why the colonization of humans to Mars could be a destination that promises a scientifically and politically. The strategy of this trip one way to help to achieve goals with technology and financial generosity," wrote Davise Makuch and again in his article on Monday (15/11/2010 .)
This plan does have a lot of risk, but scientists think that the risk is always there in every expedition. he pointed out, a few centuries ago a group of Europeans go to the United States with desperate without hope that they can go back to Europe again.
"The approach to this mission can be started by sending four astronauts to the two spacecraft, so two people in one plane. They will be given enough supplies to survive on Mars," said Schulze-Makuch.
Schulze-Makuch also said that the search for a place where may also be initiated. Mars has some suitable place for shelter. In ice-rich regions of Mars, humans can use ice as a source of water and oxygen.
When several people have been able to find resources, they can utilize and manage natural resources that exist in the planet. Finally, humans can perform the expansion on the planet most like Earth that claimed them.

A group of scientists recently initiated a program of mapping the Earth's mantle, a layer of earth that lies between the earth's crust and core. Andy Nowacki, a geophysicist from the University of Bristol, UK who are involved in coat mapping program, said the study has been very helpful in understanding the volcanic activity and earthquakes.
Why map the coat can help to understand volcanoes and earthquakes? Coat layer is a dense layer having a thickness of approximately 2800 km. Although dense, this layer can move slowly because it has a high temperature. When this layer moves, then the existing tectonic layer on it also moves. Tectonic plate movement that occurs is a potentially increased volcanic activity and cause earthquakes.

Hunting of kangaroos and deer, two protected animals that live in Wasur National Park, Merauke, Papua, continue to occur. Hunting activity threatens kangaroos and deer populations that live in national parks covering an area of 413,810 hectares of it.
The existence of kangaroos and deer hunting is visible from the sale of kangaroo meat and deer in New Market in the town of Merauke. The price of kangaroo meat is sold at Rp 30,000-Rp 40,000 per kilogram (kg), while the venison sold for about Rp 30,000 per kg.

Scientists discover new species of squid in the Indian Ocean. The discovery was reported by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, on Monday (11/15/2010). The species is included in the family Chiroteuthid.
Species that are found to have a size of about 70 cm long has an organ that is able to emit light to scare the prey. According to the IUCN report, the species found at the bottom of a steep sea. So far, it has been found in 70 species of squid in the expedition. All squid species that represent 20 percent of species of squid in the world.

One of the telescopes owned by the U.S. Aviation and Space Agency (NASA) successfully captures the image of a dying star and as if surrounded by a ring. The scientists describe the star's image as jellyfish in the sea star. Is the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) that captures NASA's image. A pair of stars that captured dying seemed surrounded by gas and rings. Astronomers say they have never seen this phenomenon before.
"When I saw the star, I think of jellyfish that I saw at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Beautiful creature that is in the water. Star is also beautiful. Only, he was there in space," said Ned Wright, head of investigations at WISE. The image captured is actually NGC 1514, a crystal ball nebula is 800 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. The object was included in this type of planetary nebulae and was first discovered by Sir William Herschel.
Not only that human skin can sunburn. Whale skin can also experience it.
Scientists from the Zoological Society of London recently discovered this fact after doing research on several types of whales found in the Gulf of California. They took samples, collect high-resolution photographs, and examine the microscopic structure of sperm whales, gray whales fin and blue whales.
The results showed, nearly every sample of whale skin have skin cells that sunburn, even in the deepest layer of skin. It shows that the damage is quite severe. The researchers suspected, it burns on whales associated with damage to ozone layer that occurred.

Indo Defence 2010 exhibition held from 10 to 13 November 2010 at the Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran. One of the local participants who showcased their products are PT Imani Prima vessel monitoring programs that showcase named Aissat Prime.
The program monitors the ship was used to monitor the presence of ships in a region. "With this program, we can monitor where the ship is located, name of ship, boat serial number, flag state ships and ship speed. So to say this program is better able to monitor more detail than radar," said Firdaus Adinugraha, Imani Prima staff.

Engineering exhaust to reduce motor vehicle emissions is not new. Several years ago there was the discovery of the use of zeolite and plasma to reduce emissions. However, the findings do not get much response because of the costs for engineering and maintaining its function.
Now, there is another innovation that is more effective and efficient than the use of zeolite, namely plasmulator. The principle of this new innovation is quite simple because only based on the use of positively charged electrode and negative to attract other substances which charged different. In short, such as the ability of a magnet to attract metal.

Arts of Minangkabau, West Sumatra, a compulsory curriculum in Hawaii, Manoa, USA.
Randai subjects had become compulsory curriculum at the University of Hawaii during 2000-2001, said Cultural Sumatra, Musra Dahrizal Katik Rajo Mangkuto, in Padangpariaman Friday.
Musra was familiarly called "Mak Katik" randai it has taught art at the university for one semester. In fact, in August 2011, he again was invited to Hawaii to teach randai.
Mak Katik never display randai involving foreign students from eight countries to be a player, musician, and PENDENDANG to the story "Umbuik Mudo" which translated from Minang language into English.
Arts randai, Mak said Katik who also addressed sebaga "Tuo Randai", liked and admired for its management with customary and religious philosophy.
"Behind the martial art of dialogue and movement, full of traditional philosophy and religion that became the basis of life," he asserted.
According to him, when the Minangkabau art could become compulsory curriculum abroad, should be in the realm of his own, too.
Because not a priority of indigenous cultural curriculum Minangkabau in West Sumatra, he added, making the role ninik-mamak (brothers mother, and ed.) No longer felt.
On a separate occasion, Chairman of the Institute for Indigenous Natural Density Minangkabau (LKAAM) West Sumatra, Sayuti Dt. Rajo Pangulu said it will again attempt to restore traditional values and culture in the community that began to fade.

Although no official records began to be known when the batik in Pekalongan, but according to estimates existing in Pekalongan batik around the year 1800. Even according to the data recorded at the Ministry, batik was made in 1802, as a small tree motif in the form of dress material.
But significant progress is expected to occur after a major war in 1825-1830 in the kingdom of Mataram, called Java Diponegoro war or war. With the onset of this battle royal family and urged his followers to leave many areas of the kingdom. They then spread towards the East and West. Later in the area - a new area that the family and followers develop batik.
