0 Astrolabe Glacier and Unbalanced Ice

Bookmark and Share

Sunday, March 27, 2011 ~ 0 Comments

Located in the Terre Adélie-George V Land section of East Antarctica, Astrolabe Glacier streams out from the interior of Antarctica to dump ice into the sea. This outlet glacier is estimated to be 10 kilometers (6 miles) wide, and the drainage basin that feeds it stretches as much as 200 kilometers (120 miles) inland.


The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite captured this natural-color image of Astrolabe on November 28, 2010, in late austral spring. Icebergs were breaking off from the glacier tongue—which extends from the coast like a shelf over the open water of the Southern Ocean—and running into sea ice. The calving front is roughly 7 kilometers (4 miles) wide, and scientists estimate that it loses half a cubic kilometer of ice per year.


The ice calving shown in this image is not necessarily unusual for the region or the time of year. But what is unusual is how much more calving all the glaciers of Antarctica and Greenland have been doing in the past two decades.
According to a new NASA-funded satellite study, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing mass at an accelerating pace and are overtaking ice loss from mountain glaciers and ice caps to become the dominant contributor to global sea level rise. The graph above shows the gain and loss of ice mass from the world's two largest ice sheets. Though there are gains within individual years, the overall trend from 1992 to 2010 has been toward losses.
Each year over the course of the 18-year study, the two ice sheets lost a combined average of 36.3 billion tons more than they did the year before. The Greenland ice sheet lost mass faster at an average of 21.9 billion tons more per year. In Antarctica, the year-over-year speedup in lost ice mass averaged 14.5 billion tons.

This 3D printed hovering robotic insect called “ornithopter” is a project from the Cornell Computational Synthesis Laboratory The ornithopter weight only 3.89 grams. It’s powered by a GM14 motor and lightweight lithium-based batteries that allows it to hover unthetered for about 85 seconds. The wings are made of a polythene film stretched over a carbon fibre frame.


This flight exhibits the functional utility of printed materials for flapping wing experimentation and ornithopter construction and for understanding the mechanical principles underlying insect flight and control.

The Sun continues to be active! This movie from the Solar Dynamics Observatory starts at 11:35 UT on March 24, 2011 and goes through midnight. It shows the active area 1176 – and active it was. Several flares are visible — according to the SDO website, there are B, C and M class flares all seen in this 20 second video. See below for another movie from March 19 of a looping solar prominence eruption on the limb of the Sun.



Prominences are large, bright features extending outward from the Sun’s surface, usually from 2 sunspots. Prominences often from in a loop shape, as can be seen in this video. What you are seeing is plasma trapped in the magnetic fields. Prominences are easier to see when they are on the limb of the Sun, like this one. Filaments are simply prominences see from directly above.

The Tadpole shrimp Triops Cancriformis is found in the Caerlaverock nature reserve in Dumfriesshire at Scotland. This species is considered as to be the Oldest species on the earth.
Triopes is one of the genus of small Crustaceans. It is the freshwater animals and sometimes they are kept as pets. Triopes are also known as the "Living Fossils", It is because one of the species, which is triops cancriformis, changed very littile since the Triassic. Approximately it is arround 220 Million Years ago. Triops gives the eggs, which comes in the state of extended diapause, when its dry. They then waits for many years for the water, At that time they hatches and starts their life cycle again. Triopes are called so because of they having three eyes.

Thursday, July 22, 2010 ~ 0 Comments

Here's a amazing example of the optical illusion. It's all done with the cardboard cut-out and a few balls. In this video shown below, the four wooden balls rolls up on the slopes of the cardboard, just as they are pulled by the attraction of magnet. As there's a slope, this kind of behavior of the balls seems impossible, because it is against the gravity.

In this video of impossible motion, there's not any kind of computer graphics are used, but it's a real captured video from certain angle. Actually happening thing in this video is that the orientations of the slopes are perceived oppositely, and due to this descending motion is misinterpreted as ascending motion.



This was created by the engineering professor kokichi sugihara from the Meiji institute for advance study of mathematical sciences.

Five days ago, in the northeastern port city of Dalian, China, two oil pipelines exploded, sending flames hundreds of feet into the air and burning for over 15 hours, destroying several structures - the cause of the explosion is under investigation. The damaged pipes released thousands of gallons of oil, which flowed into the nearby harbor and the Yellow Sea. The total amount of oil spilled is still not clear, though China Central Television earlier reported an estimate of 1,500 (400,000 gallons), as compared to the estimated 94 - 184 million gallons in the BP oil spill off the Louisiana coast. The oil slick has now grown to at least 430 square kilometers (165 sq mi), forcing beaches and port facilities to close while government workers and local fishermen work to contain and clean up the spill.

0 Now Genetically Modified Mosquitoes are Totally 100 perc. Resistant to Malaria Parasite

Bookmark and Share

~ 0 Comments

A few scientists at the Arizona University have achived the mosquitoes that are totally 100 percent resistant to the malaria parasite. They have successfully bred this kind of genetically engineered mosquitoes. And the great thing about this mosquitoes are that, they are incapable of infecting humans with malaria.

For hundreds of years, researchers from around the world are trying to alter the mosquitoes, which cannot infect the humans with malaria. infect, all those attempts were not useful because still mosquitoes are capable of transmitting the diseases causing pathogens called Plasmodium. Each year around 250 Million ppl gets infected by the malaria, and about 1 Million people gets die. There is not any effective malaria vaccines are available. A mosquito belonging to the genus Anopheles is able to act as vector. Around 25 of anopheles are significant vectors of this disease.


The previous attemps were only to the around 97 percent of destroying the malaria parasite in mosquitoes bodies, but the rest of the 3 percents were about which was itching to the scientists. Michael Riehle is the scientist, who has come up with this new study, and he has also covered thoose 3 percent and succed and altered the whole genetic material that is resistant of malaria parasite by 100 percent.

The genetic material designed by the Riehle's team, [Michael Riehle is a professor of entomology in UA's college of agriculture and life sciences and is a member of the BIO5 Institute.] that inserts itself into a mosquito's genome. Then after researchers fed malaria infested blood to the modified mosquitoes, the Plasmodium parasites didn't infect a single animal in the study. And once the anti malaria molecule is injected  into the mosquito's eggs, the next generation then carries the altered genes and passes it on to future generations. The scientist used Anopheles stephensi. This is the mosquito species that is very important malaria vector throughout the indian subcontinent.

The one major thing found in this study is that, this anti-malaria molecule shorterns the mosquito's total life span. The typical life span of a mosquito is around 2 to 3 weeks, but this gets minimize due to the anti malaria molecule. The good thing about this manner is that, The malaria parasite needs around 12 to 16 dayz to develope within a mosquito, before it get transmitted to the human body. And due to the minimize of mosquito lifespan, the chances of transmittion of parasite gets lesser. As mainly the oldest mosquitoes [Anopheles] are only responsible for the transmission of parasite.

In 2010, a sequence of volcanic eruption started, and resulted in an estimated 250 million cubic metres (330,000,000 cu yd) of ejected tephra. The ash plum rose to a height of approximately 9 kilometres (30,000 ft). The volcano erupted in Iceland disturbed the whole world.  The Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted till a very longer period. The volcano erupted for the second time in less than a month. Which affects the earth by melting ice, shooting large amount of smoke and steam into the air. Due to the volcanic ash, many flights were cancled and disturbed the air traffic.Millions of  passangers were not able to transport and to reach home because all Asia - Europe flights were stopped.

The steam exploded from the glacier topped iceland volcano. The lightning photographs are taken about 30 kilometers away from the volcanic lightining storm. The volcanic eruption created around 2000 foot long fissure.






































Here's some recent photos of volcanic eruption, they are very intresting and also so amazing.
