Hubble’s final frontier – part 4/5

logo

Orbiting nearly 650 kilometres above the Earth, the Hubble space telescope has been our most powerful window on soaring star factories. It has been instrumental in providing the existence of black holes and has captured the cataclysmic end of stars far larger than our own sun. Rocking a long-established theory about universe existence, Hubble proved that the universe is expanding more and more quickly, which could ultimately destroy our entire universe. The telescope also provided the first stunningly-detailed images that illustrate how embryonic stars are born from gas and dust clouds. First recorded by Chinese astronomers in 1054 AD, Hubble has tracked the debris from a thousand year old supernova still moving into space at approximately 5 million kilometres an hour. When scientists focused Hubble on Jupiter, they were able to watch in real time the devastating effect of a comet hitting the massive planet. But the 12-ton telescope will soon be lost forever as it slowly spirals towards Earth, and astronauts will travel back into space to repair Hubble before the telescope is eventually shut down and sent back to Earth.

Fight for Science

logo

This montage was created to demonstrate that it is the scientific method alone that has elevated the standard of living of many populations to soaring heights and can do so for all the world’s people. Science is not an ideology, but a method. A method which can free us from the shackles of destructive, divisive, superstitious thinking and create a peaceful, sustainable world where the united human race harmonises with the laws of nature, rather than arrogantly ignores them. —————————— You as a human being have evolved to respond to the world around you on impulse. You will instinctively jump out of the way if, say, a bus comes careening towards you. You know it would have a fatal effect if you didn’t. Even if you had never seen such a thing happen to a person before, you can instinctively calculate the weight of the bus, its size, its speed, and you will know that your frail body does not stand a chance. You know this because your very perception is built to comprehend the world in which you live. Defy it, and you will perish. As soon as you realise that this is a certain fact of life, you can apply that mentality to everything that you do. As the old Stoic saying goes: ‘Virtue exists in a will which is in agreement with nature’. This means that if what you choose to do is done without resistance to what you cannot control, then you will not encounter suffering as much. It is a certainty that you cannot break the laws of nature. They are firmly stuck

A Better View: Science & Space HD

logo

A science rap about the world revealed through science and technology. It starts in outer space with the birth of the universe, then comes down to Earth before describing some things we have learnt about ourselves. The rap was produced in collaboration with Alison Somerville at the Science Photo Library (SPL) who produced the video. SPL are a provider of scientific images and have a special schools subscription service – www.sciencephoto.com This video can be viewed in HD, and can also be found on the SPL website. If you like science raps and want to see more, check out www.scienceraps.co.uk. Just click the video tab to view a selection of science raps from across the world. If you know of anymore good examples, please let us know.
