| Kepler 22, Earth twin |
December 5, 2011, 23:31PM |
Astronomer have identified a planet that could be best described as being Earths twin. It lies with its Star's godilocks zone. The goldilocks zone is an area which is not too hot for life to not exist and not too cold, just right. There's no evidence yet as to whether there is life there but a higher than normal chance that life can exist there. The planet has the uneviable name of Kepler 22b, after the Kepler Space Telescope which was used to spot the planet.
The planet circles its planet at a incredible speed such that a year is 90 days in length. The planet is 600 light years away which although sounds far is nearer than a lot of other things in the Universe. The planet is somewhere in the area of space that the Lyra and Cygnus constellations inhabit.

| Neutrinos, Faster than Light |
September 23, 2011, 16:12PM |
On thursday, scientists have announced that they have broken one of the fundamental laws of physics that nothing travels faster than light. The scientists at CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research have announced to the world that an experiment using Neutrinos fired from Geneva to a site in Italy and back travelled faster than light.
The ramifications if proven could mean time travel and warp speed, the speed at which the USS Enterprise from the series Star Trek is also possible. Don't go booking your holiday on Vulcan just yet as other scientists are to test the experiment that the CERN scientists conducted to see if they got their results correct.
One of the group of scientists that will test the experiment is the Fermilab, the US Governments equivalent in Chicago.
A Neutrino is a small subatomic particle that has no electric charges unlike electrons so can travel where electrons can't.

| Oxygen found in space |
August 2, 2011, 11:23pm |
Oxygen, the gas that gives up the ability to live has finally been spotted in Space in a star forming region in the constellation of Orion. If you think you'd be able to take off your helmet and breath, think again, you'll be either frozen or burnt to death. Up until that moment, Oxygen had only been found in the solo form, now it has been found in mass.

| Partial Solar Eclipse |
December 29, 2010, 5:31 pm |
On the fourth of January next year (2011), there will be a partial solar eclipse seen in Northern Europe. In London, UK, the Sun will be 67-70% covered by the Sun. In Glasgow however only about 38% of the Sun will be covered. I cannot stress enough that although the Sun will be obscured, you must take protective measures to ensure your sight isn damaged by the light. Visit Exploratorium to see how to view the Sun safely. You can buy special eclipse glasses that will help you. Theye cheap but they come in packs where Ive seen them being sold. All now is fingers crossed that the eclipse is not obscured by cloud.
