Sub-Orbital Space Flights & Satellite Exploration
Space In Bytes: Science Fiction – Science Fact (ESA Lecture Series) — • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — Whether it’s “Star Trek”, “USS Enterprise”, or the iconic space station from “2001 – A Space Odyssey”, science fiction has always provided inspiration and ideas for the scientists and engineers that design and build real spacecraft. The video compares factual and fictional space stations, manned spacecrafts and explains how sci-fi interplanetary travels could inspire future generation of scientists and engineers. ESA is developing a series of short video lessons (Space-in-Bytes) for upper secondary school students, and their teachers. The extensive use of videos and internet by youngsters today make Space-in-Bytes a perfect combination of both, an attractive and innovative tool to reach out to a broad audience of students. • www.esa.int .

NASA Renames Observatory for Fermi, Reveals Entire Gamma-Ray Sky. NASA’s newest observatory, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST, has begun its mission of exploring the universe in high-energy gamma rays. The spacecraft and its revolutionary instruments passed their orbital checkout with flying colors. NASA announced today that GLAST has been renamed the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The new name honors Prof. Enrico Fermi (1901 – 1954), a pioneer in high-energy physics. “Enrico Fermi was the first person to suggest how cosmic particles could be accelerated to high speeds,” said Paul Hertz, chief scientist for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “His theory provides the foundation for understanding the new phenomena his namesake telescope will discover.” Scientists expect Fermi will discover many new pulsars in our own galaxy, reveal powerful processes near supermassive black holes at the cores of thousands of active galaxies and enable a search for signs of new physical laws. For two months following the spacecraft’s June 11 launch, scientists tested and calibrated its two instruments, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM). The LAT team today unveiled …

drift is a minor or major contributor to speciation is the subject of much ongoing discussion. There are four geographic modes of speciation in nature, based on the extent to which speciating populations are geographically isolated from one another: allopatric, peripatric, parapatric, and sympatric. Speciation may also be induced artificially, through animal husbandry or laboratory experiments. Observed examples of each kind of speciation are provided throughout. Natural speciation: All …

Deuteronomy 3:3-7, God has the Israelites do the same to the people of Bashan. In Numbers 31:7-18, the Israelites kill all the Midianites except for the virgins, whom they take as spoils of war. In 1 Samuel 15:1-9, God tells the Israelites to kill all the Amalekites men, women, children, infants, and their cattle for something the Amalekites ancestors had done 400 years earlier. 6. God kills 50000 people for curiosity: In 1 Samuel 6:19, God kills 50000 men for peeking into the ark of …
