Boscha’s Sun Binoculars
As reported the nation’s leading newspapers, Kompas. Indonesia Boscha observatory located in Lembang, Bandung, West Java now has a new facility in the form of sun glasses. Location Lembang cities in the tropics and enough to make a pretty good strategy to study the sun.
NASA already has a SOHO (Solar & Heliospheric Observatory), certainly not balanced when compared to existing solar telescope in the Boscha. However, due to the strategic location and close enough to the center of Bandung. This is very good facilities to attract people, especially students.
Looking ahead, the data from this solar telescope will be connected with live streaming on the ITB’s website and updated in real time. This data would be used for the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN).
Bioethanol, Potential Future Energy
Bioethanol can be an option in reducing environmental damage as a side effect of the development of industry and transportation. There are several advantages possessed bioethanol fuel than gasoline, partly because the production process more environmentally friendly and involved planting vegetation that absorb carbondioxide in the atmosphere. In addition, the using of bioethanol as fuel for motor vehicles more environmental friendly because it produces less pollution.
Using of Detergent in Indonesia
For other cleaning materials, detergents is the yield of technological advances that make use of the chemical byproduct of petroleum distillation, combined with other chemicals such as phosphate, silicate, dye, and fragrance ingredients. around in the 1960s, the early generations detergent appeared using surface pengaktif chemicals (surfactants) Alkyl Benzene Sulfonat (ABS) is capable of producing foam. However, due to the difficult nature of ABS broken down by microorganisms in the soil surface, eventually replaced by Linear Alkyl compounds Sulfonat (LAS) are believed to be relatively more familiar with the environment.
In many countries in the world have banned the use of ABS and replaced with the LAS. While in Indonesia, the regulations concerning the prohibition of using ABS does not exist. Several reasons ABS is used in detergent products, such as low cost, stability in the form of cream / pasta and abundant foam.
Solar Cycle Miracle
The sun on the way its evolution as a star shows the dynamic properties, both in the outer layer (photosphere, chromosphere, corona) and the inner lining. One of the wonders of evolution behavior is the phenomenon of solar activity cycle 11 years.
Iteration cycle is a common event in nature. Afternoon changed the night, due to the earth’s rotation on its axis. Successive seasons due to the slope of the earth’s rotation axis to the plane of its orbit around the sun (the earth’s equator at an angle of 23.5 degrees to the Ecliptic). And the sun was also a cycle of activity.
Asteriod will Hit Earth in the Year 2029
Until now the asteroid is named Asteroid 2004 MN4 is rather difficult to observe. “The Torino Scale Collision strength used by astronomers about the possibility of collision with Earth, the asteroid was scored 2 out of 10″, said Donald Yeomans of the program manager of the Near Earth Object part of the propulsion system NASA Laboratory in Pasadena.
The Series of Earthquakes in Indonesia
Large-scale earthquake will knock down anything on earth that unsound and fragile. This phenomenon is not just demolish the building, but also makes landslides, broke, and ambles. Beyond that, an earthquake of the coast is also a potential cause tsunamis. That is a series of threats to the population in the earthquake-prone areas.
As long as the earth rotates, the movement of plates covering the earth and float on the magma will never stop. Between plates of collision or the crust is what causes earthquakes continue to occur after another all over the world.
When one location in the boundary layer of rocks collapsed due to the earth’s crust holding the pressure plate merapuh, rocks that would seek a new stable position. During this process will be a series of aftershocks, the main pascagempa. This can result in cracked buildings and fragile finally collapsed.
1905: Introducing Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
Albert Einstein is a famous man behind the theory of relativity is also famous. Scientist who was born on March 14, 1879, and died on April 18, 1955, is specialized in physics. He is a theoretical physicist widely regarded as the greatest scientist in the 20th century. On June 30, 1905, Einstein published a paper entitled On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies. Through the paper he introduced the theory of special relativity. Having formulated the theory of relativity, Einstein became famous throughout the world, an unusual achievement for a scientist. In his old age, beyond the fame in the history of all scientists. In popular culture, the word ‘Einstein’ is considered synonymous with intelligence or even genius.
