Curiosity Mars rover wey America’s NASA send go Mars don find another strange looking object on the red planet. This time, na one small shiny protuberance:
“The image was taken with the right Mastcam on Curiosity on Sol 173 — January 30, 2013 here on Earth,
hope say you see the protuberance? Wetin e be?
and was pointed out to us by Elisabetta Bonora, an image editing enthusiast from Italy.
“A spectacular, eye-catching Comet is to pay the Earth a visit in October, leaving a trail probably till January, 2014.”
That is the information reaching us from across the web, Catholic Online, Burlington Patch, Huffington Post etc.
It is Comet C/2012 S1 (ISON), simply dubbed Comet ISON in the media and was discovered on the 21st day of September, 2012 “beyond the orbit of Jupiter, and almost immediately created a sensation in the astronomical community. The comet holds the promise of becoming so bright that it may be visible in the daytime sky.”
Comet “ISON’s fiery tail may be visible to those watching the night sky from October 2013 through January 2014″ – NASA’s Astronomer.
At its closest to the sun, Comet ISON will be just 1.8 million kilometers from the solar surface, or just over one million miles. This is extremely close, and some comets that pass that close do not survive the approach, breaking up and melting into the solar wind instead.
There are interesting facts about Comet ISON that must not escape the student of nature. Find out!
You want to see the comet now? Ok, here’s your guide…
The arrow points to the area where to look for ISON now. Unfortunately, you will need a very large scope to spot it now if you have to. However, it will become visible in 8′-10′ scopes in September.
Meanwhile, we expect an early-bird Comet in March this year. Let’s keep fingers crossed.
You wan know what time the world ends today? lol. Well, read the following articles…it may help…..
WIKIPEDIA – 2012 PHENOMENON WHAT – Everything you wanted to know about 12/20/12 – and then some. FAVORITE QUOTE – “A New Age interpretation of this transition is that the date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation.”
A South Pacific island wey marine charts, world maps, Google Earth and Google Maps dey show us say e dey, Australian scientists don talk say the thing no exist.
Google maps position the island, named Sandy Island, midway between Australia and French-governed New Caledonia. But scientists from the University of Sydney walka go the area only to find a blue 1,400m (4,620ft) of deep ocean, the Coral Sea instead of land.“We wanted to check it out because the navigation charts on board the ship showed a water depth of 1,400m in that area – very deep,” Dr Seton, from the University of Sydney, yarn the AFP news agency after the 25-day walka. “It’s on Google Earth and other maps so we went to check and there was no island. We’re really puzzled. It’s quite bizarre.
“How did it find its way onto the maps? We just don’t know, but we plan to follow up and find out.”
