SETI says that extraterrestrial life insurance will be in 20 years – Ideal Digital

The security than they have secured is undoubtedly the most surprising, but so have SETI expressed in this Tuesday. The SETI institute aims to observe millions of star systems in search of another intelligent civilization. 100% chance. This is the number that give reputable scientists in the future to find extraterrestrial life in the Universe. They further argue that this finding will be possible in 20 years. No doubt, the news is most striking

Incredible. Chances of finding extraterrestrial life rise to an impressive 100%, according to the insured by several scientists of SETI (in Spanish Institute Scientists Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) in the Congress of the United States of America.

U.S. astronomers say they find alien life in our galaxy. Experts have expressed a Congress that “would be really strange that in the vastness of our galaxy we were completely alone.” Seth Shostak, the top astronomer at the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) has presetado incredible advances are being achieved.

With Shostak was also Dan Werthimer together to report on progress and thus more funding

For the magazine “Nature World News” said the astronomer. “In the solar system there are at least half a dozen other worlds that might have life” .

And shortly after, Shostak added: “I think there’s a good chance of finding it, and if that happens, happens in the next 20 years,”

<. p class = "p"> Werthimer emphasizes that the question is not whether there is life in the universe, since “it is quite possible that so.” To Dan Werthimer the real question is whether there is other intelligent life in our galaxy cohabiting, or other distant galaxy.

in our galaxy alone there are no less than a billion planets, and billion more than they have conditions that allow the existence of life on them.

Objective: ‘resurrect’ the mammoth in the next 50 years – The World

Siberia with love … Lyuba, raising preserved in the ice of the tundra mammoth for 42,000 years, has traveled to London in a very special case. Since it was discovered in 2007 by a caregiver reindeer is displayed as an oddity from another time at the Museum Shemanovsky and never before had traveled to the West.

The Natural History Museum of London has now become the undisputed attraction Lyuba Mammoths: Giants of the Ice Age , which opens today at the venerable temple of science. The baby mammoth, 85 inches high and 130 inches long, has helped unravel some of the best kept secrets of the furry relatives of elephants, which became extinct about 4,000 years makes (one blink of an eye in geological terms).

Lyuba, the best preserved specimen of all the remains of mammoths that have emerged from the Siberian permafrost, has shot pass one of those races, a delight to the human species. When will the first cloned mammoth

Geneticist Ian Wilmut , father of la sheep Dolly , believes that science can be 50 years of the possibility of cloning extinct species like the mammoth. The method used would be the same as that used for live animals: retrieve the cell nucleus Mammoth frozen tissue, implant it into the egg of a female elephant (which previously would have extracted the core) and create an embryo with mammoth genes that would be implanted in the uterus of the pachyderm. The incubation period would be about 22 months.

However, Adrian Lister, a specialist in mammals proboscídeos Museum of Natural History, believes that is too early to speak of the resurrection of the mammoth : “The DNA found in Lyuba is highly fragmented and is not organized into cells. Thanks to him we were able to reach new and fascinating discoveries about Mammoths and how they adapt to their habitat, but I’m not one to rub their hands thinking that cloning is just around the corner. “

mammoth skeleton exhibited in the London exhibition. NHM

“Neither the technology we have today and the quality of remains give hope to clone a mammoth in a reasonable time, “warns Lister. “I do not deny that in a few decades as possible, and all extinct species such as the woolly mammoth Lyuba will surely be the first candidate. But even scientifically possible, ethical issues arise . “

” What would resurrect a mammoth couple of copies if their habitat is gone, and if we know that they were social animals lived in herds? “investigator Natural History Museum asks. “To what extent could scientifically justify cloning? I personally think we should concentrate all these efforts to avoid at all costs the extinction of elephants . “

The London show comes to rag on the controversy and responds well to such that the million dollar question: “Scientists can not clone a mammoth. Although they have been able to decode up to 70% of its genome, still lack crucial information. One way to find this information is to modify the genome of the elephant up to the mammoth, but that would require modifications to 400,000 . And even if scientists were able to produce a baby mammoth of an elephant surrogate mother is harder than it looks. “

Dr Akira Iritani , Kyoto University, has announced plans to clone a mammoth are already advanced in their laboratory in Japan and it is possible that in 2016 the first born baby mammoth of an African elephant. The South Korean Hwang Woo-Suk , who was disgraced for committing fraud in their experiments to clone human embryos, has also announced that it has reached an agreement with the University of the Republic of Sakha for avanzar to cloning a mammoth .

No wait for the resurrection of his kind, Lyuba, who died Siberian possibly drowned in the mud when he was little more than a month-old continues stunning tracks to the researchers, who found in your intestines and traces of milk residues grass , possibly chewed by his mother to the little shaggy breeding could digest.

” As the human species, mammoths originated in Africa and then spread to Europe, Eurasia and the New World “, says Adrian Lister. “One of the biggest mistakes is to believe that mammoths were the ancestors of elephants, when in fact it’s close cousins, who came to live at the same time and were adapted to other cold habitats.” “Climate change was undoubtedly the main reason for their extinction,” adds the researcher of the Museum of Natural History. “Rising temperatures 120,000 years ago almost ended their habitats: prairie that thrived were giving way to forests and tundra. They managed to recover in the Ice Age, but populations drastically decrease again until the final blow, some 6,000 years ago. ” “The definitive role of humans in their extinction remains to be seen, but the fact is that its disappearance coincides with the contact with human populations and the practice of hunting. It is quite possible that mammoths disappeared from the face of the Earth by the combined action of climate and man in a similar situation that the elephant lives today. “

And the result it features this fact: the length of a day on one of those exoplanets

At this point, scientists paticiparon in the study felt that the biggest Ecuador this planet 16 times.

also has a mass 3,000 times that of Earth turns to a speed of 100,000 miles per hour.

This is going so fast that leaves the Earth back to its 17,000 kilometers per hour for 47,000 miles per hour on Jupiter. There’s nothing

So Remco de Kok, study coauthor is expressed:.. “Why some planets rotate faster is not known and some slower”

Add this regard: “but this first step of the rotation of an exoplanet shows that the trend seen in the solar system, where the most massive planets rotate faster may be applied to exoplanets”

.

not stop there and adds more: “It must be a universal consequence arising from the way the planets are created”

is Not. ill remember that Beta Pictoris is a very young planet, only 20 million years.

At this point, Beta Pictoris b, a star formed by gas giant discovered in 2008 that orbiting the star Pictoris.

No doubt find the performance characteristics of this exoplanet certainly is a success over astronomy.

Some observations made with the VLT (Very Large Telescope) of the European Southern Observatory (ESO) have determined, for the first time rotational speed of an exoplanet . This is Beta Pictoris b, located about 63 light years from Earth and your day lasts only eight hours .

This rate is higher than that of any planet in the system Solar, whose Ecuador is moving nearly 100,000 mph. Thus, this new result extends exoplanets existing relationship between mass and rotation in the Solar System . In the future, similar techniques using the E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope) will allow astronomers to make detailed maps of exoplanets.

The research, published in the journal Nature, is presented in the article Fast spin of a young extrasolar planet (Fast Rotating a young extrasolar planet) as it has revealed the ESO in a notes .

Beta Pictoris b

The Beta Pictoris b exoplanet orbiting the star Beta Pictoris-Naked Eye -., is located in the southern constellation Pictor (the easel painter)

This planet was discovered nearly six years ago and was one of the first exoplanet direct imaging that was obtained. It orbits its parent star at a distance of only eight times the Earth-Sun distance. It is also the closest he exoplanet to its star caught in direct images .

Beta Pictoris b is a very young planet , only about 20 million years (compared to 4,500 million earth). With the passage of time, is expected to cool and shrink exoplanet, which will rotate even faster.

In addition, there are other processes that may affect the switching speed of planet. For example, the spin of the Earth is slowing down over time due to tidal interactions with our honeymoon.

Fast rotation

Using the instrument CRIRES, installed on the VLT, a team of Dutch astronomers at Leiden University and the Institute for Space Research of the Netherlands (SRON) found that equatorial rotation speed of the exoplanet Beta Pictoris b is almost 100,000 kilometers per hour .

In comparison, the Jupiter Ecuador has a speed of about 47,000 miles per hour, while the Earth travels at only 1,700 km per hour. Beta Pictoris b is more than 16 times larger and 3,000 times more massive than Earth , but one day the planet only lasts 8 hours.

“It is not known why some planets revolve faster and some slower, “said Remco de Kok, co-author” but this first step of the rotation of an exoplanet shows that the trend seen in the Solar System , in which the most massive planets rotate faster may be applied to exoplanets . It must be a universal consequence arising from the way the planets are created. “

used by astronomers

The astronomers made use of a technique very accurate call high dispersion spectroscopy to split the light into the colors that form, ie, different wavelengths in the spectrum.

The principle of the Doppler effect (or Doppler shift) allowed them to use the change in wavelength to detect different parts of the planet were moving at different speeds and in opposite directions relative to the observer.

Removing carefully the effects of the host star, much brighter, were able to extract the signal of the planet’s rotation .

“We have measured the wavelengths of the radiation emitted by the planet with an accuracy one part in a hundred thousand , which makes the measurements sensitive to the Doppler effect that can reveal the speed of the emitting objects “confirmed lead author Ignas Snellen.

” Using this technique we find that different parts of the planet’s surface toward or away from us at different speeds, which can only mean that the planet rotates around its axis. “

This technique is closely related to Doppler technique to make images, which has been used for decades to map the surfaces of stars and, recently, the enana Luhman 16B brown . The rapid turnover of Beta Pictoris b means that, in future, be possible to a global map of the planet, showing cloud patterns and possible severe storms .

“This technique can used in a much larger sample of exoplanets with excellent resolution and sensitivity of the E-ELT and a spectrograph image high dispersion. With the future instrument METIS (Mid-infrared E-ELT Imager and Spectrograph) we will be able to make global maps exoplanets and characterize much smaller planets Beta Pictoris b with this technique, “says lead researcher and co-author of METIS new article, Bernhard Brandl.

Facebook changes its privacy policy – The País.com (Spain)

Facebook let your users decide what information to share with their own applications that are downloaded from the Net The major change, announced Wednesday by Mark Zuckerberg, gives more power to protect the surfer your privacy.

In recent years, Facebook has made it easier for application developers could open session with the user’s identity in the social network or your email account. Thus, user data knew not only the network, but also the many applications that are downloaded.

Zuckerberg announced on “anonymous login” to decide what kind of information they want to own who knows the downloaded application. “By giving people more power and control, they will rely more on applications. That’s good for everyone,” Zuckerberg said.

You decide whether to provide your e-mail application, the date birthday, or the history of the “likes”. The user names and gender remain visible to any application.

Another novelty is a service for application developers themselves can place ads within your software, and share what revenues with Facebook . “It’s really the first time we’re going to help get income on mobile”.

Facebook is facing strong competition advertising service AdMob Google, which already allows advertisers to deliver ads mobile applications. Also on Twitter, MoPub seeks the same goal.

Facebook generates the bulk of its revenue from the advertising that appears in the accounts of its users, either on the website or mobile app. By distributing ads through a constellation of independent mobile applications, Facebook effectively expands its advertising space, opening the door to more revenue.

In the last two years, Facebook has been cutting you Google the advertising pie, especially in the U.S. and on the phone, while other attempts, such as Yahoo or Microsoft have not been effective. A year ago, 30% of its revenue came from mobile today is 60%. In a year has made most of its 1,280 million users to connect from the phone.

Lasts eight hours the day exoplanet Beta Pictoris – The New Century (Colombia)

property=”dc:description”> is known that more and more and meet some of them habitable, but now a Dutch team has for the first time to measure the length of a day when exoplanet Beta Pictoris ., eight hours, using the Very Large Telescope located in Chile

Exoplanets are those planets outside our Solar System identified an area where there have been increasing in recent years discoveries: NASA estimated February that there are 1,700 identified and more recently the discovery of the first exoplanet about the size of Earth where liquid water exist was confirmed, which would potentially habitable.

A team of Dutch astronomers at the University Leiden and the Institute for Space Research of the Netherlands (SRON) has been achieved using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of Cerro Paranal in Chile, measure the length of a day on one of those exoplanets: a day in the Beta Pictoris b runs in just eight hours.

Scientists estimated that the largest Ecuador on this planet 16 times and with a mass 3,000 times that of Earth rotates at a speed of 100,000 miles per hour, extremely fast compared to 17,000 kilometers per hour traveling to our planet and only comparable in the Solar System 47,000 kilometers per hour on Jupiter.

The relationship between mass and confirm that the observed rotation can be extended to make the conditions exoplanets in the solar system, which could be related to the formation of planets.

“It is not known why some planets move faster and some slower,” says Remco de Kok, coauthor of the study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, “but this first step of the rotation of an exoplanet shows that the trend seen in the solar system, where the most massive planets rotate faster may apply to “.

-. Towards a map of exoplanets –

Beta Pictoris is a very young planet, only 20 million years, compared to 4,500 million earth, and is expected to grow as more cool and shrink, which would make rotase even faster.

The researchers were able to determine the rotation of Beta Pictoris b, a star formed by gas giant discovered in 2008 orbiting the star Pictoris, located 63 light years of Earth, using a technique called spectroscopy.

The results of this research could lead to a detailed map of exoplanets, mass and specific conditions in the future.

“Now we know from this study that Beta Pictoris b is surely a planet and not a brown dwarf (often known as failed stars), so now this course will be used, “said for his part AFP Dimitri Mawet, an astronomer at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) also works with the VLT.

“We have very important steps and serve to refine the model of the atmosphere of this planet (…) that will be the basis for others and understand what they are formed. “

Mawet said it is the first time that the rotational speed is shown. “We will have statistics and learn about the formation of the planets and their rotation speed, and also on the conditions of its surface. This opens the door to many exciting discoveries in the future”. / AFP
