GUATEMALA - The end of the Mayan calendar that is often synonymous with doomsday predictions have been found and instead talk about ancient political history. This is even more clear the calendar did not predict doom.

"This text speaks of the ancient political history, not prophecy," said Director of Tulane University Middle American Research Institute, Marcello Canuto.

"This new evidence suggests that the date is 13 calendar bak'tun markers of important events that celebrate the ancient Mayans. Although however, they do not make a doomsday prophecy in that date," he added.

Proclaimed Live Science on Saturday (30.06.2012), the Mayan calendar is divided into bak'tun or thousands of cycles for 144 days starting from the date of the Mayan creation. December 21, 2012 is the last day of the 13th bak'un and mark what they call the cycle of creation.

Previously many believe that December 21, 2012 relating to the doomsday predictions or as a marker of the occurrence of major spiritual event. But there is only one reference to the date of this archaeological finds. Now, researchers exploring the Mayan ruins of La Corona in Guatemala.

They find a monument to the second reference on December 21, 2012. On the stone steps carved hieroglyphs containing, they found the strongest leader's visit Maya's memoirs, Yuknnoom Yich'aak K'ahk of Calakmul.

As part of his visit, the king calls himself "the master 13 k'atun." K'atuns is another matter units within the Mayan calendar that contains approximately 7,200 days or nearly 20 years.

Jaguar Paw has been leading up to the end of the 13 Mayan k'atuns in 692 AD. From here began the end of calendar 2012. King's reign to connect to the cycle-13 or 13 bak'tun as an attempt to bind him and his future administration.

Carefully Watch the Transit of Venus

Astronomers warned to be very careful and protect the eye for observing the transit of Venus. The reason is very dangerous to stare directly at the sun. Required special eclipse glasses or solar filter on the telescope to avoid permanent damage in your eyes.

In order to safely view the transit of Venus, a special solar filter must equip binoculars or atelescope. According to Space.com, the eclipse glasses could be used again. Number 14 welder glasses can be used as eye protection.

The technique of the safest andsimplest to see the transit indirectly by using the projection of the sun. Space lovers can use one side of the telescope or pair of binoculars to project a magnified image of the solar disc to the white shaded part of the carton.

The projected image to be viewed and photographed safe. However, it is important to remember that you cover the scope of the telescope and other parts of binoculars to avoid looking directly transit.

Venus journey will take about 18 minutes to walk full into the face of the sun. Venus will run on a diagonal path across our nearest star.

Astronomers refer to the different phases of the transit of Venus as a contact trip.

When the planet first touches the outer edge of the sun, is known as the first contact. The secondcontact occurred when Venus appeared completely in the sun. The third contact refers to when Venus touches the edge of the sun, and the fourth contacts when Venus is completely separate from the sun.

For connoisseurs of space in Indonesia, you can watch the process of this transit. According to the Administrator, this is the Venus transit:

The first contact: at 5:09 pm

The second contact: at 5:27 pm

Greatest eclipse: at 8:29 pm

The third contact: at 11:31 pm

The fourth contact: at 11:49 pm

Missing Russian Science Expedition at the South Pole

Moscow - Russia-Ukraine scientific expedition lost at the South Pole. Like what?

Expedition crew consisting of Russian-Ukrainian residents are sailing since last September, lost on Friday as high winds hit.

Spokesman for the expedition ship named Scorpius said that their team but are preparing to travel again. It is quoted from ST.

The official website of the expedition, said the last contact,they were heading to the island of Deception Island, a location that has an active volcano.

Scientists: 2040, Large Asteroid Will Hit Earth

VIENNA - Scientists have made the UN meeting in Vienna, Austria, which revealed a large asteroid that will likely pose a threat to planet Earth in the decades to come.

This asteroid known as the "2011 AG5", a code name that became one of the agenda of the UN Committee Scientific and Technical divisions.

Researchers say that some asteroids have a diameter the size of the 460-foot (approximately 138 meters) which is expected to hit the planet Earth in the year 2040.

"2011 AG5 is the object that currently has the highest chance of an impact on the planet Earth in the year 2040. However, we only watched for about half an orbit, so that our confidence in these calculations are still not very high," said Detlef Koschny of the European Space Agency in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, as quoted by Space Daily, Wednesday (29/02/2012).

Donald Yeomans, head of the Near-Earth Object Observations Program NASA said the asteroid is expected this will have likely impact on the planet Earth with a percentage or a ratio of small numbers.

It was reported that the impact will be felt the planet Earth is predicted to occur on February 5, 2040.

"Fortunately, this object will be observed further in the interval 2013 to 2016, and 'scenarios' about the possible impacts can be reduced. There is still time to launch a mission 'bend' the object is to change its speed" he added.

Astronomers discovered the largest galaxies

El Gordo sized galaxy two billion times larger than the sun. Astronomers using Atamaca Cosmology Telescope in Chile managed to find a cluster of the largest galaxy in the universe so far.

Galaxy seven billion light-years away and the size of two billion times larger than the sun. With this huge size then the astronomers gave the name El Gordo or the Spanish for The Fatfor this galaxy. Astronomers who reported thesefindings at a meeting of the American Astronomical Community-219 added to the galaxy is still getting bigger.

"El Gordo is in a distance of aboutseven billion light-years. By researching and understanding the El Gordo then we can understand the time evolution ofthe structure of the universe," said Professor Jack hughes from Rutgers University told the BBC.

Two times larger than similar galaxies in the same distance, El Gordo represents a cluster of half-formed galaxies. The two smaller galaxy clusters are also found nearby, and will assist the disclosure of this giantgalaxy age.

A team then used the Hubble Space Telescope to show a number of long-distance galaxy formation process known as protokluster.

Billions of years

Light that is visible from El Gordo is believed to have been formed since the 13 billion years ago, when the universe was only 650 million years old.

"This finding is very unusual because we are witnessing the birth of a galaxy cluster of the future," said Michele Trenti of the University of Colorado.

Meanwhile, at the end of the spectrum of cluster evolution, William Dawson and his team of University of California Davis to use Hubble and Chandra telescopes to witness the final stages of collision of galaxy clusters has never been witnessed before. Two separate galaxies from two different clusters collide with each other and keep passing.

However, thin as a result of the collision gas that remains in placeof the collision. Dawson said the discovery of thelargest structures in the universe is beginning to be able to learn more distant universe.

"Every advance in our understanding of the universe is the direct result of understanding how all this changed with time," said Dawson.

In the end, Dawson continued, this knowledge will reveal the relative proportion of energy and dark matter to help estimate the size of El Gordo at alater date.

"El Gordo will continue to evolve,"says Professor Hughes.

Russian Space plane will Fall to Earth Next Week

Unmanned aircraft 'Phobos' belongs to Russia before the launch in Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan (photo: dock).

The parts that failed the Russian spacecraft are expected to fall toearth on January 15 next week, Russian officials said. Unmanned aircraft 'Phobos' was launched on 9 November in a 2.5-year mission to reach Mars moon, Phobos, and take soil samples to bring back to earth.

But the plane was caught in a Phobos orbit the earth and the various attempts to fly direct to the planet Mars does not work. Because the longer the lower orbits, Russian officials estimate that the plane will fall to the earth end of February.

Spokesman said the Russian air defense forces, aircraft parts that are not burned in the atmosphere will fall to earth on January 15.

7 Years Ago, Earth Nearly Doomsday

On December 27, 2004, suddenly a burst of energy invisible hit Earth. He is expected to come from a considerable distance, ie distance from the constellation Sagittarius that reach about 50 thousand light years, or more than 473 thousand trillion miles.

Explosion and lacing was first detected gamma rays by NASA's Swift satellite. As for astronomers, the observation of these events provide the most detailed examples of the burst of energy ever recorded in history.

"Although the burst of energy that only attack for about 0.2 seconds, but the energy is just as much to the energy of sunlight shining on the Earth up to 500 thousand years old."

As a result of devastating blows gammar beam energy, a lot of electronic satellites orbiting the Earth were damaged. Earth's upper atmosphere is also experiencing tremendous ionization.

After further investigation, astronomers discovered that the source of the attack was a rare magnetar SGR 1806-20 is located on the other side of the Milky Way. Soft gamma ray repeaters (SGRs) This occurs when the magnetic field being tangled in trying to straighten her back and broke the crust of the magnetar.

As a result, there was a burst of energy by turning off zone that can reach several light years. Magnetar's magnetic field alone has 1,000-fold compared to pulsars (neutron stars that emit high bermedan magnet electromagnetic radiation) used. He is very strong and could lead to the destruction of anything within a distance of 1,000 kilometers in the vicinity.

"The Swift satellite was designed to find a burst of unusual," said Neil Gehrels, researchers from the Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA, quoted by the Daily Galaxy, December 27, 2011.

"We really hit by a landslide with this one," he said.

Luckily for Earth, the distance of the source of the blast so far. And gamma-ray burst (GRB) next to come, probably comes from thousands of light years from Earth. This phenomenon is also likely occur only once in a decade.

That is, GRB that hit Earth's atmosphere in 2004 and is a very rare occurrence.

NASA satellite weighs six tonnes fell to earth

Cape Canaveral, Florida - A satellite science space agency (NASA) weighing six tonnes fell to Earth on Saturday morning, but the location of the pieces is unknown.





The satellite is expected to enter Earth's atmosphere between the hours of 23:45 local time Friday and Saturday 00:45 local time (10:45 to 11:45 GMT), according to NASA, as reported by Reuters on Saturday.

During that time, the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, which has no such function, through the territories of Canada and Africa, as well as vast areas of the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic and Indian oceans.

NASA is working to confirm location and time of the satellite re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

Bosscha: Lebaran on August 31, 2011

Senior researcher at the Observatory Bosscha - Bandung, West Java, Deva Octavian, confirms Eid 2011 or 1 Shawwal 1432 Hijri will occur on August 31, 2011.

The determination was based on the results of observation and application of analytical science of astronomy. Therefore, the end of Ramadan 1432 Hijri ijtimak will be conducted at 10:04 am Monday, August 29.

"High-moon at sunset August 29 in all parts of Indonesia less than two degrees. From these data, moon can not be viewed in the territory of Indonesia. Thus, 1 Shawwal 1432 Hijri occurred on August 30, after maghrib. So,
there is still Salat Tarawih at August 29 and no tarawih on August 30, "he said.

Thus, fasting in 1432 Hijri this time amounted to 30 days. Even so, the plan is the determination of a trial ithbat Shawwal 1432 Hijri will be conducted on August 29.

"Hence, it is not wrong if using computation methods and rukyatul Shawwal moon in the preliminary determination will be different. For, August 29, new moon not visible to the eye as close to the sun," he said.

Chairman of Muhammadiyah, Abdul F Wibisono, said, Muhammadiyah has set 1432 AH Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday (30 / 8). The decision was the result of calculation of Muhammadiyah team reckoning.

At sundown on the 29th of Ramadan, the position of the new moon is above the horizon with a height of 1 degree 55 minutes. 35 officers Previously, researchers Bosscha Observatory - Bandung, Deva Octavian, said 35 people would be dropped in determining the Lebaran day or 1 Shawwal 1432 Hijri.

Personnel as much as it will observe the new moon on 16 points have been determined. Many of them is a combination of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (Kemenkominfo), Bosscha Observatory, Rukyatul Hilal Indonesia, LAPAN, as well as a number of universities.

As for the observation of the new moon will be conducted at 29 and August 30 starting at 16:00 pm.

"The working principle in the determination of the early days of fasting with Eid or 1 Syawal makes no difference because both observe the new moon," he said.

The number of observers and observation point for the determination of a new moon of Shawwal 1432 Hijri more than the initial observations to determine the new moon of Ramadan which involved only 30 people to 14 points only.

He was to say, Kemenkominfo was deliberately expanded the number of observation points moon, it is because it is easier for observation and ensure accuracy.

Because it could be, observations made in an unobstructed area, but in other areas can be done. (ANT-215)

Damage Ozone Hole Covering an area of ​​North America

 Damage to the ozone layer at the South Pole reached an area of ​​27 million square kilometers. That breadth is greater than the breadth of North America about 25 million square kilometers.

''This happens because a lot of human behavior that unwittingly cause damage to the ozone,''said Head of Atmospheric Science and Technology Institute of Aeronautics and Space Agency (LAPAN), Novita Ambarsari, told reporters on the sidelines of the socialization of the Protection of the Ozone Layer in Armed Pusdik, Cimahi, Monday (4 / 7).

South Polar ozone hole is not in the sense that the actual hole in the ozone layer. However, said Novita, the ozone hole is a thinning of the ozone layer with a lower concentration of 220 DU. This value is based on observations of ozone at the South Pole which is never higher than 220 DU since 1979.

Meanwhile, based on data of total ozone measurements Nimbus satellite in June 2009, there are trends of decrease in total ozone concentrations in Indonesia amounting to 0.29 DU / year. Chemicals damaging the ozone layer is primarily derived from the type of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used in various processes of products such as refrigerators, air coolers, and soft foam manufacturing processes as cleaning fluid.

"Materials ozone depleting substances are widely used in industrial fire extinguishers and Methyl Bromide used for pesticide ingredients,''said Novita.''Use of these materials increased rapidly since the 1970s that led to abortion in the atmosphere also increases."

He said how to resolve this problem by altering human behavior. Communities should be made aware that human beings should live longer with a comfortable and safe atmosphere. Education can be delivered in the form of stories and tangible evidence that people moved to live with a better way.

"A lot of people's habits is never an appropriate pattern back to nature such as turn on the TV without anyone watching it. In fact, the electricity comes from solar energy. Meanwhile, diesel fuel can not be updated and burns itself causes damage to the ozone layer," he said. 

This is the Origin of UFOs

On June 24, 1947, amateur pilot Kenneth Arnold flew a small airplane near Mt Rainier, Washington and saw a very odd-shaped objects. What is it?

It was located right on the left side of Arnold, 20-30 km north of the plane at the same altitude. It was a series of nine objects flying toward the sun shining over. Comparing the size of the plane, Arnold estimate the size of the object was as wide as 13-15 m.

Given this thing is capable of flying as far as 80 miles in 1 minute 42 seconds, Arnold is able to estimate the object traveling at the speed of 2736 km / h or three times faster than man-made aircraft that era.

However, as if controlled, flying objects that seem dipped and swerved around obstacles in the terrain. When these things disappeared in the distance, Arnold flew to Yakima, Washington, then landing and immediately tell the airport staff.

The next day, Arnold interviewed by journalists, and stories about it spread like fire across the nation. "At that time, there is still a presumption, Mars or Venus could be a new residential planet," says author Robert Sheaffer UFOs.

People think, this UFO is a Martian who came watching people who now have nuclear weapons, he added. Over time, the incident that is the theory first of many visits that is outer space. The era of UFO sightings began.

Arnold's sighting a "kind of sensation that made ​​headlines around the world, 'writes Martin Kottmeyer UFO expert. "Soon after, everyone is looking for a new airplane shaped like a plate," he continued.

In recent weeks, reports emerged of hundreds of objects flying around the world. While people thought the same thing with Arnold's view, there is a great irony that time. Namely, "Kenneth Arnold reported seeing flying saucers have not."

In fact, Arnold told the press, it was flying erratically, "As if the plate across the water". This thing is thin and flat when viewed from the end, he said. However, a crescent-shaped when viewed from above. However, reporter Bill Bequette of United Press interpreting, disc-shaped object was round.

According to UFO expert and deputy editor of Skeptical Inquirer Benjamin Radford, "The statement was to be one the greatest quotes in history to be a journalist". The phrase 'flying saucer' giving shape to the myth of UFOs from the beginning, writes Kottmeyer.

In the eyes of art, hoax, science fiction movies, tv shows and most reports alien abductions, UFOs described as flying saucers today. "Error Bequette himself unable to refutation of the theory of space for everyone. However, this error even leave a great paradox, Why would extraterrestrials redesign their aircraft to conform to Bequette's error? "Wrote Kottmeyer.

Although not see flying saucers, mostly co-pilot was convinced Arnold really see anything that day. So, what Arnold actually see? One theory holds, Arnold saw a fireball, meteor falling from the atmosphere. Furthermore, pieces of meteors will be tangible such as chains and shines very brightly and could move thousands of kilometers per hour.

However, many historians thought it was not bendar outer space, "It was probably only the pelicans flying in formation," said Sheaffer. Maybe Arnold misjudged the distance and thought things were great and are in great distances, but real close, he added.  

Toilets at The Same Time Watering

Eddie Gandelman create a urinary channel that accommodates and human urine to plants.

Animal biological wastes, such as feces and urine, actually has a beneficial mineral content. Not surprisingly, both are used for fertilizer plant fertilizer.

There are also scientists who advise us to drink our first urine in the morning. He says, minerals can make the body alive and healthy.

Urine is beneficial. Eddie Gandelman agreed to it. That's why he created "When Nature Calls", ie the channel urinary human urine to plants.
Urine is a lot of phosphorus-containing substances that are beneficial to plants. Through the creation of urinary Gandelman, plants need not always be doused with water, because the urine has been providing mineral water and fertilizer for plants.

Urinary This is best used as public toilets. How it works consist of three steps, hold, filter, and distribute. The way this work has been approved by the professor of toxicology. The results of that process is a clean urine, non-toxic, and odorless, so it does not pollute the environment.

With this urinary, in the future, human biological waste is expected not merely useless, but can also be used so it is more beneficial to the natural environment around us.

Photo shots Amazing Orange Moon Eclipse Show

Blood red moon hung in the sky black in the darkest night of this year. This week's lunar eclipse is the only one this year and became the last in 372 years coincides with winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Eclipse ofthe moon also marked the longest and darkest night of the year.

Observers found the scenery beautiful sky of the moon in late Monday night and early Tuesday morning, provided there are no clouds are blocking. "The shores of the blue in the shadow of the Earth used as settings for red moon is incredible beautiful," said astronomy professor from Colorado Mountain College, Jimmy Westlake, before the beginning of total eclipse, when the moon completely covered the earth's shadow. Jimmy was the middle of watching the eclipse from Dublin.

Jimmy managed to splatter pictures moon with a star constellation in tow. "total eclipse the moon was in the position of the foot of the constellation Gemini Twins and near the star cluster M35,"he told Space.com

 Total lunar eclipse occurs when Earth precise line between full moon and the sun, so the moon blocking the sunlight to bounce off the surface of the moon.

The color of a lunar eclipse will vary, depending on weather conditions, amount and type of small particles in the north and optical instrument used for observation. The range of colors will be more obvious when observed with the naked eye rather than using a telescope.

French astronomer, Andre-Louis Danjon introduce the five-scale brightness or luminosity (L) to classify the color of an eclipse. Scale that starts with L = 0, which means dark lunar eclipse where the moon almost invisible, and L = 4 when the moon looks very bright copper red or orange.
