A number of archaeologists discovered the great hope on the sidelines of the spring that hit the southern United States. In Florida, exactly, about an hour drive from Tampa to the south, scientists found that in the days of ancient cultural heritage.
In the midst of exploration and excavation in the vicinity of Little Salt Spring, in the southern part of Sarasota Country, a team of divers from Florida Aquarium and the University of Miami were surprised by the discovery of spear rest of life in ancient times.
Archaeologists estimate the spears are aged less than 10,000 years ago. These findings further convince them that in the vicinity of the location of the discovery of spear were a lot of "garbage" which is a remnant of prehistoric existence of ancient life in the past.
What makes an underground site that is unique to imuwan is because of the water that had been buried as deep as 250 feet from the past, and does not contain oxygen. Thus, there are no microbes or bacteria that survive and destroy these relics.
"We managed to find amazing artifacts, which can not be found elsewhere, because the water environment here is very unique," said John Gifford, a specialist underwater archaeologist from the University of Miami, who quoted from Stone Pages VIVAnews, Monday 21 March 2011.
He said, no scientist has ever found the spear in good condition before. Besides the spear, there are wood and charcoal were found nearby. He was estimated to 9300 years.
The findings of the archaeologists will be taken to Texas A & M University, which is known to have the most prestigious departments in terms of water conservation of artifacts. "If you meet certain conditions, these artefacts not impossible to display at the museum," said Gifford.

When Japan hit by 9.0 Richter scale earthquake and tsunami rolled Friday, March 11, 2011, one of the astronauts land of the Rising Sun is currently undergoing training for space missions on the International Space Station, Satoshi Furukawa (46).
The news of the disaster like a blow to Satoshi. He lost several relatives in the tragic disaster. Chest tightness also find tens of thousands of people were killed, and tens of thousands homeless. Japan, must struggle to overcome disaster and rebuild.
"Our thoughts and prayers directed at Japanese people who suffered from major earthquakes in Japan," said Satoshi Furukawa while undergoing training center briefing on NASA's Johnson Space Center, Houston, Monday, March 21, 2011, as published site Space.com. "We're with you, the people of Japan. The world and its you."
Disaster and grief did not make the intention Furukawa mengangkasa receding. "I will do whatever can be done in science, for those suffering from disasters, for the people of Japan, for all mankind."
Furukawa representing the Japanese space agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is undergoing a six-month training mission scheduled for May 30, 2011. He will join NASA astronaut Mike Fossum and Russian cosmonaut, Sergei Volkov.
Two of his colleagues, Fossum and Volkov claimed to understand the situation experienced by Furukawa. "We give more space for him," said Fossum. "Especially in the first days after the disaster, he hungry for news of family, relatives, and his friends."
Furukawa came from Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture. His profession is a physician and surgeon. This is his first trip into space. Furukawa has undergone 12 years of training to become astronauts. He and two colleagues will mengangkasa use Soyuz, Russia.
Furukawa said, in addition to doing research, he plans to take many pictures of Earth from space, and dividing it by the citizens of the world via Twitter account, @ Astro_Satoshi.
In addition to affecting the soul Japanese astronaut, Japan earthquake and tsunami are also forced to evacuate JAXA Tsukuba Space Center in Tsukuba area.
Inside the space center include the control room that is part of the International Space Station, which oversees Japan's Kibo lab also control the unmanned aircraft that transport supplies to the station.
The officers managed to survive in the accident March 11. However, suffered some damage control center.
Weekend Sky Show: Little Green Comet Nears Earth
0 comments Sunday, April 12, 2009
Amateur astronomers in South Korea and the U.S. have jointly discovered a faint new comet streaking across our solar system.
Called Yi-SWAN, the newfound comet is already visible to backyard telescopes in the Northern Hemisphere, although viewing will improve as the moon begins to wane on April 11.
Sky-watchers will be able to see Yi-SWAN until about mid-May, when it will wander too close to the sun to be visible except to the largest telescopes.
The comet is named after Korean amateur astronomer Dae-am Yi, who first noticed it on March 26, and the SWAN instrument on board NASA's sun-gazing satellite SOHO.
(Related photo: "Sun Probe Spies New Periodic Comet.")
Meanwhile, amateur astronomer Rob Matson of California independently spotted the comet in publicly available SWAN images and notified the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams (CBAT), the world clearinghouse for comet discoveries, on April 4.
The comet has since been seen by several astronomers around the world.
Yi-SWAN is traveling in a tilted elliptical orbit and is currently about 164 million miles (264 million kilometers) from Earth.
It is still too early to tell if Yi-SWAN will be a recurring visitor like Halley's comet, said CBAT director emeritus Brian Marsden.
"We'll need observations over several months before we'll be able to say that."
Crossing Cassiopeia
During its visit, Yi-SWAN will appear as a small, fuzzy dot in the sky. It's reported to have a faint greenish glow, or coma, around its main body.
No tail has been observed yet, but that may change as the comet moves closer to the sun.
Starting on Saturday, comet hunters should look near the constellation Cassiopeia to see Yi-SWAN.
The comet should be visible all night, although the best times to look are around dawn and dusk, when Cassiopeia is high in the sky. Around April 20, Yi-SWAN will move into the constellation Perseus.
Marsden cautioned that finding the comet could be challenging for novice astronomers.
"If you don't really know how to find locations in the sky, you will have trouble finding it," he said.
Dan Green, the current CBAT director, has these three suggestions for beginners:
• Buy an introductory astronomy book and learn how to find an object's ascension and declination, the celestial versions of longitude and latitude. Then visit the CBAT Web site to get the comet's coordinates.
• Contact a local planetarium or astronomy club and ask someone to point out the comet.
• If all else fails, Green quipped, find a brighter comet to look at.
Hubble—Eye on Infinity
0 comments Thursday, April 9, 2009
Hubble was built to be tuned up in orbit. But it wasn't designed for the major overhaul NASA astronauts undertook during its fourth servicing mission, 3B, in March 2002. They delved into the telescope's guts during long space walks, like the one shown here illuminated by a sunlit crescent of Earth, and replaced parts that the original designers never thought they'd need to.
Installation of a new power-control unit forced an unprecedented and nerve-wracking shutdown of the entire satellite—a move comparable to a surgeon stopping a patient's heart during surgery, says Anne Kinney, NASA's director of astronomy and physics. Astronaut John Grunsfeld raced to finish the task before the temperature of the switched-off telescope dropped far enough to damage it. Would it power back up? "When you run a computer for 12 years, you don't know what kind of ghosts you have in the system," Kinney says. When all systems reactivated as planned, the astronauts, as well as astronomers and mission controllers on the ground, breathed a collective sigh of relief. The rest of the mission went like clockwork, including installation of a new cooling system for Hubble's near-infrared camera—NICMOS—useful for surveying dusty and cold areas of space, and installation of new solar panels and other science equipment.
It was the most challenging service mission ever attempted in space, and its success elated astronomers. Chief among the wonders was the long-awaited ACS, or Advanced Camera for Surveys. It essentially made Hubble into a new telescope. "ACS has roughly ten times the discovery power of the previous camera," says Mario Livio, astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. Translation: Hubble can now see twice as much with five times more light sensitivity.
Tragically, this mission would be the last successful voyage for space shuttle Columbia;. The disaster in February 2003 grounded Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour, the three remaining shuttles, and will delay plans to bring Hubble a spectrograph and a new wide-field camera with ultraviolet and infrared capability.
Antarctic mystery
1 comments Wednesday, April 8, 2009
Oronteus Finaeus fitter picture is actually the normal map. But the work is done Topografer France until now is still a tremendous mystery. Why ...?
In the year 1532, Oronteus Finaeus drawing a map of the world. Not a problem if the digambarnya a map of Continental Europe, Africa, Asia, and the United States, but that was unusual is that Oronteus Finaeus Continental to describe the six - the Antarctica (South Pole) ...! In fact there is no person who had sailed to Antarctica ...!
Dan yang lebih mencengangkan lagi, garis pantai pada peta Antarktika yang dihasilkan oleh Finaeus - ternyata sama persis seperti peta Antarktika modern saat ini…! Tentu saja hal ini menjadi luar biasa, karena benua Antarktika ditutupi es abadi yang tebalnya mencapai 2 Kilometer…
Dari mana Finaeus mengetahui semua itu…??? Itulah misteri yang belum terpecahkan hingga hari ini.
Saya pun akhirnya tertarik untuk sedikit mengupasnya…..
Siapa Oronteus Finaeus ?
Oronce Finé, Orotius Finaeus, Oronteus Finaeus (1494-1555)
Oronce Fine itulah sebutan marganya, dilahirkan di Briançon tahun 1494 dan besar di Paris. Dia sempat meringkuk dalam penjara tahun 1518. Walaupun ia sendiri adalah seorang ahli matematika, namun di tahun 1522 masih mendapat gelar medis dari universitas Navarre di Paris.
Tahun 1524, ia masuk sekali lagi dalam penjara dan di tahun yang sama ia membuat sebuah jam matahari dari bahan sisa gading. Pada abad ke-16, banyak orang menyukai karya-karya para ahli matematika. Akhirnya Oronteus Fine diangkat menjadi ahli perbentengan dan dipekerjakan di pertahanan Benteng Milan-Italia.
Tahun 1531, ia mendapat gelar kehormatan di Collège Royal Paris. Pada saat itu pula karirnya menanjak dengan menulis banyak karya ilmiah. Karya-karya itu yang sempat dipublikasikan a.l:
Risalah ilmu perbintangan dan alat-alat falak. Pada tahun 1520, dialah yang mengusulkan bahwa gerhana bulan dapat digunakan untuk menentukan garis bujur sebuah tempat.
Tahun 1519 Menemukan proyeksi peta dan kemudian memproduksi peta dunia yang sekarang ini kita pakai.
Di tahun 1544, menghitung nilai dari pi (22:7) = ( 22 2/9)/7, kemudian diperbaiki menjadi 47/15. Ia percaya bahwa bumi adalah pusat dari alam semesta.
Peta itu…

Gambar 1 - Peta Oronteus Finaeus tahun1532 di belahan bumi selatan Gambar 2 - Oronteus Finaeus menggambar kembali proyeksi modern peta kutub itu
Gambar 3 - Peta modern Antarctica
Peta ini ditemukan di Perpusatakaan Congress, Washington DC di tahun 1960 oleh Charles Hapgood. Bertuliskan “ digambar oleh Oronteus Finaeus tahun 1531”. Hampir sama persis dengan pemetaan Piri Reis, Antarctica ditunjukkan dengan es yang bebas mengalir seperti sungai, pola pengeringan dan coastline.
Peta Oronteus Finaeus lebih akurat dibanding peta yang lain pada waktu itu. Sesungguhnya, lebih akurat dibanding peta manapun yang dibuat sampai ke tahun 1800.

Is there a relationship of the Maya With Being Foreign Body?
0 comments Tuesday, April 7, 2009
An ancient nation Ceritera Maya said that 10,000 years ago, they are in the peak of civilization. Although experts doubting ancient truth "time 10,000 years ago," is in their, but I will still be considered as something very important, because no one can explain, the origin from which the Maya peoples and then they go perginya. Because has been proven, that the cities of the nation Maya not destroyed by war or natural disaster disaster. Cities that have been abandoned as such by the population. Maya nation has disappeared without the former. Why they have left the cities they are great, they wake up "to survive long into the future" with the beam-beam is intact?
Have recognized that what is called the period "before the time of the ancient" is between 1000-2000 years before Christ, but in this case is recognized by the university, they did not know what-even on the "old era" that actually, that preceded "the era of before the era of the ancient. " It is very likely, that all "significant incident" in history that until now could not be found, there are books in the book that has been burned by lye bishop.
There are only three books from the ancient writing of the nation does not participate in the Maya burned; lembarannya made from tree bark and the folded-fold as harmonica. Books is called the name of the place, where each is stored: Dresdensis Codex (Codex = ancient book in hand), and the Paris Codex Madrid Codex, also known as Tro-Cortesianus.
Hot writings that have been colored yellow as parents, are still not truly be understood. That have been dapatdipecahkan is "system according to the numbers" they are very good, but simple. They calculate with the scratch-scratching, which are dots on top of it. One point equal to 1, with 3 three-point, its ff. Figures 5 is depicted with a sketch, so the number 7 to be a stroke added two points above. Maya is also the nation to know the values and the relative zero. They use the system "vigesima", on the basis of 20. If they want to write the number 23, then put them three points in the "unit" and one sketch in the "twenty". Mudahlah to distinguish
"Twenty-scratches" from "scratches limaan".
Scratches were given two tens place far higher than the scratches on limaan. Maya calendar nations have a very high quality. Beginning date of the order of time they are a day in the year 3113 before Christ. Experts from the United States southern states, that magical year 3113 before Christ there is no hitungannya with the actual history of the Maya peoples, but will only have a value of the original "symbolic" speech such as the Jews "since creation of the world."
How can they say it is so certain, if we do not know the origin of the Maya people came and went where they disappeared. Very banyaklah any posts are any posts about the Maya calendar of the nation. One fact is that the calendar system that uses lap-lap-year period putarannya every 374,000 years. Buildings according to established kalendernya: For each day during the month of a child, for each month a "platform, and finally, on to the 365, where already stand them. It seems as if the Maya peoples of the ancient kingdom that make religious buildings because they are not pushed by the needs of the trust, but because the calendar impose an obligation that they must meet them. Observatory experts astrology them, a round building on the terrace of two giants that tower high above the forest grove, located in Chichen Itza. Experts know the constellation of the nation Maya orbit in four months to decimal, and they can also calculate the year to the planet Venus to the three decimal.
According to ancient Ceritera, the beginning of the gods of the nations of the Maya came the stars, the relationship with the earth, and then return to the stars stars. In the "Popol Vuh", a nation Ceritera ancient Maya, are the youth of 4000 that horizon back to the "seven stars", after the defeat they suffered in the scuffle with the man. God Kukulkan appearance-apparently betukar Aztec nation with the news, called Quetzalcoatl. He is described as a feathered serpent, and who come from the sky. If those nations Maya, in her life every day to see pennon crawl on the ground, then sulitlah to understand, why pennon picture in relief, and they can "fly". The writings of Maya peoples still exist, covering 208 pages according to how the folded harmonica. And see many many macamnya signs, forms, symbols, symbols and forms of combination, it is not surprising that until now only sedikitlah means that can be solved.
Paintings on the fiber of trees which are thin layers of limestone as a base paintings, kept between two glass sheets. "Dresden Codex" has 74 pages and contains about astrology and the calculation also includes lists of movement and travel days and the planet Mars. In the paintings are always seen the grisly creature shaped like a snake in the near-number. Being connected with the moon and the earth to spew water. Being "human" is put on the mask and the complex, and often seems to be put on such a wet suit. Are they the pastor-pastor Maya nations that are doing the experiment, animals or animal experiments? Beings that can not be determined beings, what is actually, by using the many tools that exotic.
"Paris Codex" was bought by the "Bibliotheque Nationable" (National Library) in 1832 from a collection. Created from the same material with the "Dresden Codex" and have 22 pages that are already damaged. In the last century, maintenance of pages folded-folding is so jeleknya so that now only two pages that can only be in a box of glass. Fortunately for us is that of "Paris Codex" mainly contains the forecast-forecast according to the calendar. "Codex Madrid" stored in the "Museo de America" in Madrid, and consists of 112 pages illustrated, where the image can be seen deities in the attitude of the religious ceremony. Images and part-part, to the small is very interesting. We can see all kinds of objects in the picture-image.
Reek gods on earth, leather, gods before eating blood vessel, with a penalty on the tongue thrust, a goddess with a snake head on the wheel spinning. I was copying parts of books, which is only known by the experts only, so that each person has and the attention to and have attention to this problem, can assess their own what is truly drawn. I have suspected, that the people will formulate ideas-ideas more freely than a nation of experts Maya.
During the investigation, penyelidikannya in the field from 1949 until 1952, a Mexico expert ancient nation named Alberto Ruz Lhuiller storage room to find a corpse in the "Temple of script writing in Palenque. Front room of the temple which is located on the highest podium bertangga a pyramid, there is a slightly sloping bordes a steep and slippery because of the air humidity, which menjurus down to almost 75 feet and ended up 6 feet under ground. Insomuch Tangganya hidden, so that we can pull the conclusion, that the ladder was certainly concealed. The size and location of rooms that match the "understanding of witchcraft" (Marcel Brion). Experts with adjuvant-old pembantunya take three years to clean up the ladder, from top to the foundation. Terbuatdari room floor is one piece of stone measuring 14 feet long and 7 feet wide, with a picture of extraordinary relief. I have never seen an other relief, which is beautiful and so carefully pembuatannya. Carving-carved Maya there are nations in the vicinity of corners of a flat surface, but only very sedikitlah of carving carvings-that means that can be solved. Datarnya decorated with stone carvings, carving, as there are any posts in the Dresden Codex Madrid and Paris. In the pictures that we see a mask of the god earth, with the trappings in the chest feathers, lace and lace-pipe-pipe from the color of the stones and not also considered a holy bird (bird Kwitzel from middle America). Paul Rivet, a group of experts who have found ancient remains in the room in the temple of Palenque, said, that the person depicted Indiannya was sitting on the altar and the sacrifice that behind places duduknya graven god Weather beard hair, which is always motifmotif recrudesce dikota -Maya city.
Under the stone piece that is decorated in beautiful, there is a framework in which a coffin be painted red. A gold mask covering the face; some grains of stone found in the first frame, as if the ritual objects and religious objects, objects that sacrificed. Since I see the grave stones in Palengue that, then I interpret and merumuskannya in terms tekhnik. It does not become a problem, whether we are using this, or the point of view, but I have a feeling, that there are adventurers adventurers-space involved in this matter. Portrait-portrait that I never see the grave stone, which is behind a locked iron door that is the result of the photographer shooting the film "Train-the train of the god of war do? "After eight times of applying, then the government allows us to work for half an hour with the camera and lighting - spotlight. Portrait portrait will provide a better picture to the readers about the issues that I talked of the pictures in my book the first. Finally all of the menujukkan, that the grave stone that is a framework that in the middle there is a middle makhuk, who sat quite membongkok to the front (like an Astronaut in the module komandonya).
Being foreign is put on a helmet hats, hats from the back of the helmet is out mencuat two pipe stem. There is a nose in front of the oxygen apparatus. Being the kind of tools are the key observation with both hands. Fingers that arranged the top, as if being a key is being set up in the future. We see from the rear, four fingers of the hand down the crooked finger kelingkingnya. What creature does not look like that are the tool controller as there is a stir in the motorcycle? Heels left foot on the pedal bertangga. See the relief in the Palengue akan heran see reality, that "the Indian people who are on the altar of" the wear which is very modern. Right under the dagunya there is such a roll neck wool shirt. Shirt has a narrow sleeve, which ends at the wrist to be folded up. He used belt on the wrist, to be folded up. He used wide belt, and wear long trousers, the top section width and figured as the retina, while the lower, ranging from slightly above the knee to hold the ankle is narrow. Circle in the legs look like the clothes wear socks for a full astronaut!, The equipment in which the adventurous space is sitting in prison with a rigid, showing the technical characteristics of equipment for space travel.
