A Science Blog: October 2010

Wednesday, October 6, 2010. Design your own way to get Jupiter and win prizes! There are a few 'pesky' rules to follow, and to succeed is decidedly non-trivial, but could be interesting for some people. Note that the ESA is the European Space Agency - NASA is not not the only Western organization associated with Space Exploration. Mission Analysis and Design. See also comments on slashdot. One of which related to an existing game called Orbiter. Which is a space flight simulator. Crap, and it's GPL.

A Science Blog: Saturn’s hex has people spell bound
http://nzscience.blogspot.com/2010/11/saturns-hex-has-people-spell-bound.html
Friday, November 19, 2010. Saturn’s hex has people spell bound. The planet Saturn has a very large hexagon shaped structure. At it North pole. Some people insist that the hexagon shaped structure is not natural. Even going so far as to say it was constructed by Aliens! However, someone made a really cool video that explains how such a structure can come about. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rorting In The Auckland Property Market! An Open Source Blog.

A Science Blog: World IPv6 Day: June 8, 2011
http://nzscience.blogspot.com/2011/01/world-ipv6-day-june-8-2011.html
Friday, January 28, 2011. World IPv6 Day: June 8, 2011. The world is running out of IPv4 Addresses like 216.34.181.45, depending on where you are and your requirements – it could be 6 to 18 months before it directly affects you. People who need one or more fixed IP addresses are already being affected. The World IPv6 Day has been organized to flush out problems with moving to IPv6 so they can be fixed. A number of big sites like Google are enabling IPv6 for their main URL's for 24 hours. Unfortunately mo...

Wednesday, March 31, 2010. LHC discovers black rings. Now that the Large Hadron Collider. LHC) has increased its energy level to 3.5TeV (3.5 Tera electron Volts = 3,500 Giga electron Volts = 3,500,000 Mega electron Volts) new physics is starting to emerge. Normally there is agreement not to release findings too early, as this is very much a team sport, and papers are published with hundreds if not thousands of physicists names attached. 8211; obviously not realizing that such would soon become public.

A Science Blog: Spectacular views of a Comet Nucleus
http://nzscience.blogspot.com/2010/11/spectacular-views-of-comet-nucleus.html
Saturday, November 6, 2010. Spectacular views of a Comet Nucleus. The solid heart of comet Hartley 2, looks rather like a dog's bone, quite different to what I would have expected a comet nucleus to look like! Conspiracy 'theorists', might think it looks like some kind of weird alien spaceship masquerading as a comet. For more useful scientific information, and for some spectacular photograph, have a look at the following web sites: one at Bad Astronomy. And the other at Astronomy Picture of the Day.

Friday, January 29, 2010. The interactive scale of the Universe. Actually a very good website, its name came from Phil's desire debunk the bad astronomy found in hoax sites) links to a very useful interactive demonstration of the relative size of things in the Universe from far smaller than an atom, to the size of the known universe. Monday, January 4, 2010. Thorium is a much safer more efficient reactor fuel than Uranium. Using Thorium largely eliminates the problems of radioactive waste (compared to Ur...

A Science Blog: November 2009

Friday, November 27, 2009. Probably the most exciting thing happening now in Science, is the restart of the Large Hadron Collider (commonly referred to as the LHC)! A massive explosion required about a year to fix, and to re-engineer to try and prevent such a problem happening again - those events, and the current status are documented. The ring has 8 major experimental stations such as the CMS. The Director of the LHC, Steve Myers, paid tribute. To the huge amount of dedicated team work involved. If the...

A Science Blog: Jet Contrail Mistaken for a Secret Missile Launch!
http://nzscience.blogspot.com/2010/11/jet-contrail-mistaken-for-secret.html
Thursday, November 18, 2010. Jet Contrail Mistaken for a Secret Missile Launch! A CBS news chopper filmed what they thought was the exhaust from a 'secret' missile launch, but it was actually the contrail of a jet. The fact that the missile was moving rather slowly seemed not to have caused them to have doubts! I saw this mentioned first in a Bad Astronomy posting. And more in a follow-up.
