Un nuevo oceano
The U.S .Board on Geographic Names and Province of British Columbia Geographic Names Office have defined a new sea - the Salish Sea (follow the link for a map). The Salish Sea in the Pacific Northwest and is connected to the Pacific Ocean. The new sea consists of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Strait of Georgia, Puget Sound, and the inland waterways in the region. The name, proposed in 1988, is a tribute to the native Coast Salish people who inhabited the region.

Florida - 10-25-09 - It had been a rainy day. At 7:30 AM, I took my pups out for a break. In the distance to the west over the Gulf, I could see a black cloud in the shape of a Y on its side.
Under the Y was a small gold orb doing figure eights in and under the cloud. It was a gold-like, yellow color in appearance, I guess due to the sunset. It only lasted maybe 3-5 seconds. Just long enough to catch my eye and not long enough to be sure you were seeing what you thought you were seeing.
I was standing on my front porch when the object caught my eye, because it was so bright and moving in and under the black cloud. I did not know what it was, but I thought it very curious to see something like this in and under the black cloud.
All of a sudden the yellow gold orb just did not appear again, as if it knew I was watching it, or had some other place to be. It almost appeared to be playing in the clouds. Source: www.mufon.com
Florida - 11-16-09 - Starting on November 16 - November 18, I have heard sonic booms. On the 16th at 11:00 AM, there were 3-4 sonic booms, approximately in a three minute duration. On November 17, between 12:10 and 12:12 there were several sonic booms - even my dogs were upset by this episode. They began to bark uncontrollably.
On November 18, at 5:10 there were more sonic booms. I have lived on the space coast most of my life, and I know what a sonic boom is. I have heard it when the shuttle comes home, and when some of the jets return to Patricks AFB at Melbourne, FL.
These sonic booms could have been jets going to MacDill in Tampa, Orlando, or to Pensacola AFB in the pan of the handle. I have heard these same sonic booms on several occasions previously to this, but never so frequently. I have also seen the ramjet contrail in my vicinity, on several occasions. Unknown objects are often seen during these booms. Source: www.mufon.com
Florida - 11-17-09 - This is the second occurrence of a sighting at our home. During the first event, I was sitting in my recliner watching TV when I looked outside because I saw a bright light. I went outside and saw six, bright, star-like stationary objects.
There was no sound and nothing was moving. I called my wife out to look, and when she got there the lights had dimmed and then started blinking very fast. They hovered above us for about 30 seconds, again blinking very fast. Suddenly they just moved away very fast, again no sound. Source: www.mufon.com
Florida - 11-18-09 - I was sitting in my recliner watching TV when I saw a bright light in the sky. I went outside and saw 3 bright, star-like stationary objects. I hurriedly called my wife out to look and as she came out she did happen to see the bright light, but then it dimmed.
We live on a lake, so we ran to our dock to see more clearly, and there were a lot of stars out, but these three lights were moving with no sound. We did see a few aircraft moving in the area, but we could tell what they were because of the sound.
The other objects were definitely unidentifiable. As we watched, they just moved away, traveling together. We were ecstatic to see these unidentifiable objects because up until this time we just did not really believe they existed. Now we know they do.
They may not be aliens but they were certainly UFOs. I had my cell phone, but was unable to get any pictures fast enough. I need to purchase a better camera for when these events occur. Source: www.mufon.com

El objeto celeste mas lejano detectado
Utilizando el radiotelescopio VLA, un equipo de astrónomos ha obtenido datos esclarecedores sobre la naturaleza del objeto más distante observado hasta ahora en el universo; una explosión estelar gigantesca en forma de GRB (fogonazo de rayos gamma).
La explosión fue detectada por el satélite Swift de la NASA y los científicos pronto se dieron cuenta de que estaba a más de 13.000 millones de años-luz de la Tierra. Representa un evento que ocurrió 630 millones años después del Big Bang, cuando el universo tenía sólo el cuatro por ciento de su edad actual de 13.700 millones de años.
Esta explosión proporciona una visión sin precedentes de una era arcaica del universo, cuando éste estaba sufriendo drásticos cambios. La oscuridad cósmica primigenia era surcada por la luz de las primeras estrellas, y las primeras galaxias estaban empezando a formarse. La estrella que explotó en este evento fue una de estas estrellas de las primeras generaciones.
Astrónomos de muchas partes del mundo apuntaron sus telescopios hacia la explosión, denominada GRB 090423, para estudiarla. El VLA detectó las primeras ondas de radio de la explosión una semana después del descubrimiento, y siguió los cambios en el objeto hasta que dejó de ser observable más de dos meses después.
Los científicos han llegado a la conclusión de que la explosión fue más energética que la mayoría de los GRBs. Se trató de una explosión casi esférica y que se expandió en un medio gaseoso tenue y relativamente uniforme alrededor de la estrella.
Los astrónomos sospechan que las primeras estrellas en el universo eran muy diferentes de las que se formaron más tarde. Aquellas estrellas primigenias fueron más brillantes, más calientes y más masivas que las estrellas posteriores. Los investigadores tienen la esperanza de encontrar más huellas de estos arcaicos soles gigantes mediante la observación de objetos tanto o más distantes que GRB 090423.
Entre los científicos que han trabajado en las observaciones y los análisis posteriores, figuran Poonam Chandra de la Real Academia Militar de Canadá, Dale Frail del Observatorio Nacional de Radioastronomía (NRAO, por sus siglas en inglés) y Derek Fox, de la Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania.

Hoy es dia de accion de gracias
Thanksgiving is a holiday surrounded by myths and legends. Many societies have a day set aside to give thanksgiving for the many blessings they enjoy. In the United States, Thanksgiving has become a time for families and friends to get together, eat probably too much, and give thanks. Following are some interesting facts about this beloved holiday.
- While most Americans think of the Pilgrims as celebrating the first Thanksgiving in America, there are some claims that others in the New World should be recognized as first. For example, in Texas there is a marker that says, "Feast of the First Thanksgiving – 1541."
- The date of what is typically recognized as the first Thanksgiving is not precisely known though it occurred between September 21 and November 9, 1621. The Plymouth Pilgrims dined with the Wampanoag Indians for the first Thanksgiving.
- The First Thanksgiving lasted for three days.
- According to Edward Winslow, a participant in the first Thanksgiving, the feast consisted of corn, barley, fowl including wild turkeys and waterfowl, and venison.
- 52 Pilgrims attended the first Thanksgiving in 1621 including John Alden, William Bradford, Priscilla Mullins, and Miles Standish.
- Approximately 50 Native Americans attended the first Thanksgiving including Massasoit and Squanto - the Pilgrim's translator.
- The First Thanksgiving was actually a secular event that was not repeated. A Calvinist Thanksgiving actually did occur in 1623 and did not involve sharing food with the Native Americans.
- The first national celebration of Thanksgiving was declared in 1775 by the Continental Congress. This was to celebrate the win at Saratoga during the American Revolution. However, this was not an annual event.
- In 1863, two national days of Thanksgiving were declared: One celebrated the Union victory at the Battle of Gettysburg. The other began the Thanksgiving holiday we still celebrate today.
- The author of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," Sarah Josepha Hale, was key in getting Thanksgiving officially recognized as a national holiday.
- Each year the President officially declares a day of National Thanksgiving.
- Since Harry Truman, every president has pardoned a turkey for Thanksgiving.
In America today, Thanksgiving is generally seen as a time to get together with loved ones, eat a ridiculously large amount of food, watch some football, and of course give thanks for all the blessings in our lives. Many homes will be decorated with horns of plenty, dried corn, and other 'symbols' of Thanksgiving. Schoolchildren across America will 'reenact' Thanksgiving by dressing as either pilgrims or Wampanoag Indians and sharing a meal of some sort. All of this is wonderful for helping create a sense of family, national identity, and of course remembering to say thanks at least once a year. However, as with many other holidays and events in American History, many of these commonly believed traditions about the origins and celebration of this holiday are based more on myth than fact. Let's look at the truth behind our celebration of Thanksgiving.
Origins of Thanksgiving
The first interesting thing to point out is that the feast shared with the Wampanoag Indians and the first mention of Thanksgiving are really not the same event. During the first winter in 1621, 46 of the 102 pilgrims died. Thankfully, the following year resulted in a plentiful harvest. The pilgrims decided to celebrate with a feast that would include 90 natives who helped the pilgrims survive during that first winter. One of the most celebrated of those natives was a Wampanoag who the settlers called Squanto. He taught the pilgrims where to fish and hunt and where to plant New World crops like corn and squash. He also helped negotiate a treaty between the pilgrims and chief Massasoit.This first feast included many fowl, though it is not certain that it included turkey, along with venison, corn, and pumpkin. This was all prepared by the four women settlers and two teenage girls. This idea of holding a harvest feast was not something new to the pilgrims. Many cultures throughout history had held feasts and banquets honoring their individual deities or simply being thankful for the bounty. Many in England celebrated the British Harvest Home tradition.
The First Thanksgiving
The first actual mention of the word thanksgiving in early colonial history was not associated with the first feast described above. The first time this term was associated with a a feast or celebration was in 1623. That year the pilgrims were living through a terrible drought that continued from May through July. The pilgrims decided to spend an entire day in July fasting and praying for rain. The next day, a light rain occurred. Further, additional settlers and supplies arrived from the Netherlands. At that point, Governor Bradford proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving to offer prayers and thanks to God. However, this was by no means a yearly occurrence.The next recorded day of Thanksgiving occurred in 1631 when a ship full of supplies that was feared to be lost at sea actually pulled into Boston Harbor. Governor Bradford again ordered a day of Thanksgiving and prayer.
Was the Pilgrim Thanksgiving the First?
While most Americans think of the Pilgrims as celebrating the first Thanksgiving in America, there are some claims that others in the New World should be recognized as first. For example, in Texas there is a marker that says, "Feast of the First Thanksgiving – 1541." Further, other states and territories had their own traditions about their first thanksgiving. The truth is that many times when a group was delivered from drought or hardship, a day of prayer and thanksgiving might be proclaimed.Beginning of the Yearly Tradition
During the mid-1600s, Thanksgiving as we know it today began to take shape. In Connecticut valley towns, incomplete records show proclamations of Thanksgiving for September 18, 1639, as well as 1644, and after 1649. Instead of just celebrating special harvests or events, these were set aside as an annual holiday. One of the first recorded celebrations commemorating the 1621 feast in Plymouth colony occurred in Connecticut in 1665.Growing Thanksgiving Traditions
Over the next hundred years, each colony had different traditions and dates for celebrations. Some were not annual though Massachusetts and Connecticut both celebrated Thanksgiving annually on November 20 and Vermont and New Hampshire observed it on December 4. On December 18, 1775, the Continental Congress declared December 18 to be a national day of Thanksgiving for the win at Saratoga. Over the next nine years, they declared six more Thanksgivings with one Thursday set aside each fall as a day of prayer.George Washington issued the first Thanksgiving Proclamation by a President of the United States on November 26, 1789. Interestingly, some of the future presidents such as Thomas Jefferson andAndrew Jackson would not agree to resolutions for a national day of Thanksgiving because they felt it was not within their constitutional power. Over these years, Thanksgiving was still being celebrated in many states, but often on different dates. Most states, however, celebrated it sometime in November.
Sarah Josepha Hale and Thanksgiving
Sarah Josepha Hale is an important figure in gaining a national holiday for Thanksgiving. Hale wrote the novel Northwood; or Life North and South in 1827 which argued for the virtue of the North against the evil slave owners of the South. One of the chapters in her book discussed the importance of Thanksgiving as a national holiday. She became the editor of the Ladies' Magazine in Boston. This would eventually become the Lady's Book and Magazine, also known as Godey's Lady's Book, the most widely distributed magazine in the country during the 1840s and 50s. Beginning in 1846, Hale began her campaign to make the last Thursday in November a Thanksgiving national holiday. She wrote an editorial for the magazine about this each year and wrote letters to governors in every state and territory. On September 28, 1863 during the Civil War, Hale wrote a letter to President Abraham Lincoln"as Editress(sic) of the 'Lady's Book' to have the day of annual Thanksgiving made a National and fixed Union Festival." Then on October 3, 1863, Lincoln, in a proclamation written by Secretary of State William Seward, proclaimed a nationwide Thanksgiving Day as the last Thursday of November.The New Deal Thanksgiving
After 1869, each year the president proclaimed the last Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. However, there was some contention over the actual date. Each year individuals tried to change the date of the holiday for various reasons. Some wanted to combine it with Armistice Day, November 11 commemorating the day when the armistice was signed between the allies and Germany to end World War I. However, the real argument for a date change came about in 1933 during the depths of the Great Depression. The National Dry Retail Goods Association asked President Franklin Rooseveltto move the date of Thanksgiving that year since it would fall on November 30. Since the traditional shopping season for Christmas then as now started with Thanksgiving, this would leave a short shopping season reducing possible sales for the retailers. Roosevelt refused. However, when Thanksgiving would again fall on November 30, 1939, Roosevelt then agreed. Even though Roosevelt's proclamation only set the actual date of Thanksgiving as the 23rd for the District of Columbia, this changed caused a furor. Many people felt that the president was messing with tradition for the sake of the economy. Each state decided for itself with 23 states choosing to celebrate on the New Deal date of November 23 and 23 staying with the traditional date. Texas and Colorado decided to celebrate Thanksgiving twice!The confusion of the date for Thanksgiving continued through 1940 and 1941. Due to the confusion, Roosevelt announced that the traditional date of the last Thursday in November would return in 1942. However, many individuals wanted to insure that the date would not be changed again. Therefore, a bill was introduced that Roosevelt signed into law on November 26, 1941 establishing the fourth Thursday in November as Thanksgiving Day. This has been followed by every state in the union since 1956.

SOFIA busca los secretos del nacimiento de los planetas
| SOFIA busca los secretos del nacimiento de los planetas Imagine cortar puertas rectangulares en el costado de un avión 747, instalar un telescopio de 17 toneladas y volar a la estratosfera para resolver uno de los misterios más grandes de la astronomía. Eso es lo que la NASA y el Centro Aeroespacial Alemán planean hacer con el observatorio aéreo de vanguardia llamado SOFIA. |
|
Noviembre 19, 2009: No siempre se necesita un cohete para hacer ciencia de cohetes. Algunas veces, un simple avión alcanza —un simple avión Boeing 747 que transporte un telescopio de 17 toneladas y 2,7 metros (9 pies) de ancho, llamado SOFIA.
Derecha: El observatorio infrarrojo SOFIA 747SP, de la NASA, sobrevuela su hogar: las Instalaciones de Operaciones de Aeronaves Dryden (Dryden Aircraft Operations Facility, en idioma inglés), en Palmdale, California. Crédito de la imagen: NASA/Jim Ross. "SOFIA está preparado para lograr resultados científicos espectaculares", dice la científica del proyecto Pamela Marcum. "Por ejemplo, este telescopio nos ayudará a averiguar cómo se forman los planetas y cómo llegó a existir nuestro propio sistema solar". Y, como es un observatorio móvil, puede volar a cualquier lugar, a cualquier hora. SOFIA se puede ubicar en una determinada posición para capturar eventos astronómicos especialmente interesantes, tales como ocultaciones estelares (cuando objetos celestes cruzan frente a estrellas localizadas en el fondo), mientras que los telescopios en tierra, ubicados en posiciones geográficas "incorrectas" en la superficie de la Tierra, se pierden el espectáculo. SOFIA volará por arriba del velo de vapor de agua1 que rodea a la Tierra con el fin de lograr una mirada amplia del cosmos.

Si bien nuestra galaxia está repleta de sistemas planetarios, los astrónomos no saben exactamente cómo se forman. Esto se debe a que los telescopios comunes no pueden ver a través de las gigantes y densas nubes de gas y polvo que dan origen a los planetas. Usando longitudes de onda infrarroja, SOFIA puede penetrar la bruma y observar el proceso de nacimiento —mostrando a los científicos cómo se juntan las moléculas para construir mundos. "SOFIA será capaz de localizar la 'línea de hielo planetaria' donde el vapor de agua se convierte en hielo en el disco de polvo y gas que hay alrededor de las estrellas jóvenes", dice Marcum. "Eso es importante porque pensamos que allí es donde se forman los gigantes gaseosos. Los núcleos planetarios más masivos son más comunes [en las cercanías de la línea de hielo] porque las condiciones son las mejores para formar rocas y también hielo". (Partículas de hielo pegajosas ayudan a formar planetas de igual manera que ayudan a formar una bola de nieve para lanzar a un amigo desprevenido.) "Una vez que se forma un núcleo lo suficientemente grande, su gravedad se vuelve lo suficientemente fuerte como para atrapar gas, de modo que más moléculas de hidrógeno y de helio puedan 'pegarse'. Entonces, estos grandes núcleos pueden crecer hasta convertirse en gigantes gaseosos como Júpiter y Saturno. De lo contrario, continúan siendo planetas más pequeños, con hielo y rocas".
"SOFIA también será capaz de indicar dónde se localizan dentro del disco protoplanetario los componentes básicos, tales como el oxígeno, el metano y el dióxido de carbono2". Conocer dónde se ubican varias sustancias dentro del disco nos ayudará a saber cómo se juntan desde "abajo" para formar planetas. Una de las fortalezas clave del telescopio es que será el complemento de otros observatorios infrarrojos. Con una vida útil de 20 años, puede llevar a cabo estudios de seguimiento de objetos que telescopios infrarrojos de corta vida útil no tienen tiempo de realizar. Si, por ejemplo, un observatorio en órbita, como el WISE (Widefield Infrared Survey Explorer, en idioma inglés, o Explorador Infrarrojo de Campo Amplio, en idioma español), detecta algo que merezca más atención, SOFIA puede realizar una larga y detenida observación, mientras el WISE continúa mirando el resto del cielo. (Nota: Para obtener más información acerca del WISE, consulte la reciente historia de Ciencia@NASA "En busca de asteroides oscuros (y otros objetos furtivos)".) "WISE está diseñado para escanear el cielo entero en longitudes de onda infrarroja y reunir información de una multitud de objetos, más que para estudiar objetos particulares con gran profundidad", explica Marcum. "Pero SOFIA tiene tiempo de sobra para realizar estudios más profundos". Abajo: Para ilustrar de qué manera los sensores infrarrojos pueden ver cosas que el ojo humano no puede apreciar, Marcum ofrece estas imágenes de luz blanca, comparadas con imágenes infrarrojas, de un perro de sangre caliente y de una lagartija de sangre fría. [Imagen ampliada]
SOFIA también puede hacer ciencia mediante estudios de seguimiento llevados a cabo con el fin de cosechar todos los beneficios de los descubrimientos que surgieron de las investigaciones espaciales realizadas por Herschel y, después, de los estudios en el cercano y mediano infrarrojo que hizo el Telescopio Espacial James Webb. "Una vez que a Herschel se le terminen sus tres años de enfriador, SOFIA será el único observatorio que pueda proporcionar, de manera rutinaria, una cobertura dentro del rango que abarca desde las longitudes de onda del lejano infrarrojo hasta las ondas submilimétricas. Esta parte del espectro es un territorio casi absolutamente inexplorado". "Y, aunque SOFIA cubre la misma parte del espectro que el Telescopio Espacial James Webb (JWST o James Webb Space Telescope, en idioma inglés), está optimizado para alcanzar longitudes de onda ubicadas exactamente más allá de las que puede detectar el JWST, para complementar sus observaciones. SOFIA realizará un fantástico trabajo ya que observará en el espacio que queda entre las longitudes de onda que capta el JWST y las que capta el Herschel". A diferencia de estos telescopios espaciales, SOFIA puede "regresar al granero" periódicamente para reparar, ajustar sus instrumentos o incluso cambiarlos por otros instrumentos científicos nuevos y mejorados —siguiendo el ritmo de la ciencia de vanguardia desde un "simple" aeroplano. |
Obama va a ir a Copenhagen
WASHINGTON — Putting his prestige on the line, President Barack Obama will personally commit the U.S. to a goal of substantially cutting greenhouse gases at next month's Copenhagen climate summit, insisting America is ready to tackle global warming despite intense disagreement in Congress.
Obama will attend the start of the conference Dec. 9, a week from next Wednesday, before heading to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize. He will "put on the table" a U.S. commitment to cut emissions by 17 percent over the next decade, on the way to reducing heat-trapping pollution by 80 percent by mid-century, the White House said.
Cutting U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by one-sixth in just a decade would be likely to hike energy bills, but the administration says there would be important health trade-offs. Carol Browner, Obama's assistant for energy and climate change, cited a $173-per-year estimated cost in a briefing Wednesday – a figure for a family of four calculated by the Congressional Budget Office. Republicans say costs would be higher.
The White House said Obama's decision to attend the international conference in Denmark was "a sign of his continuing commitment and leadership to find a global solution to the global threat of climate change."
But Obama's stopover on the conference's second day – instead of later when negotiations will be most intense and when most other national leaders will take part – disappointed some European and U.N. climate officials, as well as some environmentalists.
Others said Obama's personal appeal will resonate with the delegates from more than 75 countries and help reset the U.S. image on the climate issue after eight years in which the Bush administration staunchly opposed mandatory reductions in greenhouse gases.
Yvo de Boer, the United Nations climate chief, said it is important for the United States to establish emissions reduction targets and a financial commitment to helping developing countries address climate change.
"If he comes in the first week to announce that, it would be a major boost to the conference," de Boer told The Association Press. He said Obama's participation was critical because delegates "are looking to the United States to come forward."
Story continues below 
Obama's participation had been in doubt since it became clear that the Dec. 7-18 conference was unlikely to produce a binding agreement, The original goal of the conference was to produce a new global climate change treaty to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. But in recent weeks it became clear that delegates were likely to produce at best an outline for an agreement to be considered late next year.
The White House said Obama's commitment to a 17 percent emissions cut from 2005 levels by 2020 would be the first step toward an 80 percent reduction outlined in legislation before Congress. It said Obama is expecting "robust mitigation contributions" from China and other emerging nations as part of any final agreement.
Obama pressed for cooperation on climate change in meetings with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Beijing last week, and with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during a state visit at the White House Tuesday.
China's top climate envoy said Wednesday his nation would seek binding pollution targets for developed countries but reject similar requirements for itself at the summit.
Yu Qingtai said it would be unfair for all countries to be required to combat global warming since most of the environmental damage has been caused by developed nations during their industrialization over the past 100 to 200 years.
"Developed countries should also earnestly ask themselves, 'In solving this problem that I have created, am I keeping my promises and honoring my commitments?'" he said.
The White House said it also will send a half-dozen Cabinet secretaries to the talks, including Energy Secretary Steven Chu and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, as well as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, which is preparing regulations to cut greenhouse gases.
The high-profile delegation is intended to reinforce Obama's stance, despite the bitter debate in Congress. The House narrowly passed legislation requiring a cap on greenhouse gases from power plants and industry, but it's still unclear whether Senate Democrats will be able to muster the 60 votes needed to approve a similar bill.
Action in the Senate has been put off until next spring, although negotiators are continuing to seek a compromise to attract some Republicans and centrist Democrats who have criticized the House legislation. Opponents say they're worried about the legislation's effect on energy prices and the overall economy.
Administration officials don't want to repeat the mistake of Kyoto, when the U.S. agreed to emission reductions but never implemented them because of strong political opposition at home. The U.S. never ratified the Kyoto agreement.
Most environmentalists hailed Obama's decision to go to Copenhagen, even if it's early in the conference. They said it will help set the tone of the talks and reverse America's image internationally on climate change.
Said Michael Oppenheimer, a professor of geoscience and international affairs at Princeton University: "The U.S. has stood as the bad guy for so long that it's critically important for the U.S. president to set the tone for the meeting."
But Kyle Ash, climate policy adviser for Greenpeace USA, said Obama should be even more involved, and later in the conference. "The Copenhagen climate summit is not about a photo opportunity. It's about getting a global agreement to stop climate chaos. President Obama needs to be there at the same time as all the other wold leaders," he said.
