Jenna Jameson Looks Weird

Discovered the richest extrasolar planetary system

Astronomers using the HARPS instrument have discovered that the star HD 10180, to 127 light-years away in the constellation Hydrus (not to be confused with Hydra ) is a star system that securely holds 5 planets (that does not orbit the Sun are called extrasolar ) and maybe even two more still can not discern with certainty.



(artistic impression)

This system is unique so far for many reasons. To begin with there seems to be a massive gas giant, Jupiter-sized or larger, as in other systems discovered, however it appears that 5 planets that have been identified with certainty are similar to Neptune, and are all within a distance equivalent to the orbit of Mars. Our solar system has only 4 planets in that area, and much smaller Neptune.

Of the two planets yet to be verified, one would be something bigger, like Saturn, and the other would be the least massive exoplanet ever discovered, with a mass of just 1.4 of the Earth. It is also very close to its star, only 2 percent of the distance from Earth to the Sun A "year" of this planet would last only 1.18 Earth days.

only remains to add ... XD MOLA

Perseids 2010

Well, although I hate the summer heat we experienced in the south of Spain acknowledge that August is a good thing, at least for amateur astronomers: the annual meteor shower, the "Perseids", also called "Tears of St. Lawrence." Despite being only one of many annual meteor showers, is the most popular and most seen in the northern hemisphere.


While 1972 was the year with more meteors per hour since it was first posted, the 2010 looks to be a good year, better even than 2004. Maximum activity will be between 30m 23h 12 02h 00m August and 13 August UT (Universal Time always, so surely we have to add one or two hours to Spain). The fact that the moon is New Moon phase few days before help you see more meteors, since the light does not blind us to the moon.


The Perseids are so called because its radiant (the point from which the meteors appear to radiate all) is from our point of view in the constellation Perseus, the hero who rescued Andromeda and Medusa ended, but in fact occur when the Earth passes through the particle cloud left by the comet Swift-Tuttle each time it passes through this area as it orbits around the Sun every bit more 133 years.

This meteor shower is also known as the "Tears of St. Lawrence." Tradition has it that, when Rome ordered the execution of Pope Victor II, demanded all the relics and treasures of the Church Deacon Lorenzo, who lers presented what he considered as riches and relics, the sick, poor, etc.. This angered the Roman emperor, who ordered him to be executed on a rack, burned slowly to death. The night of his death coincided with the rain of stars, but it was not until the Middle Ages and the Renaissance that was associated with the Perseids with the tears shed by San Lorenzo at the stake.

I will do my best to enjoy the shower of stars in a place away from urban cores, and I recommend the same, is a show that one can not lose.

Greetings!

Mars is erased face Slayers Revolution in Spanish

Well, not exactly but now you'll understand. Sure many have seen the famous "face on Mars", an image obtained in 1976 by Viking 1 in the area known as Cydonia, whose play of light and shadow was a rock formation like a face looking skyward. This is the picture of which I speak:


picture from the face of such dreaded and mysterious red planet, people began to speculate and create possible explanations for construction by the Martian inhabitants, perhaps , s in antiquity, to worship their gods. Another explanation saying that Martians had visits by beings from other planets and this face was a way of "hello" or send some message ... Most of these pseudo-explanations were similar to those that have been invented over the years to explain the presence of the moai on Easter Island.

Further visits by NASA made it clear that it was just a rock formation, with the play of light and shadows of the sun, like a humanoid face. The latest photograph area, taken by the cámaraHiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment), equipped on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, shows the same area, with the sunlight in different angle, showing the true appearance of the face of Mars:

Although

sure people will continue for years inventing stories about the Martian face looking to the sky ... and if they see this picture will say that there was a lift and had no right.

Sony Network Camera Snc-m1′′



a couple of weeks ago I bought the Slayers Revolution manga in English, published by IVREA. I had already read the manga translated into English, but of course being Slayers, could not pass up the opportunity to get physically in my hands (and shelf), once was published in English. In fact, if the public thought IVREA not say buy it somewhere else understood language like French, but ultimately did not need.

Unfortunately, although the editing is good, the translation has some mistakes. So far IVREA translations of about Slayers manga was very good, and the hand of Agustin Gomez Sainz (Special, Return, Legend Demon, Premium and unique take Araizumi) or Marcelo Vicente (Knight of Aqualord), useful and impressive including clarification of the translation, that helped us understand the history and the world of Slayers in general.

Slayers Revolution, by contrast, is translated by Manuel Ángel Ybáñez , and I'm not happy with his work. First of all appears to have read the other Slayers sleeves (or bothered to learn about them), as many of the failures that make history lash published Slayers Slayers in the sleeves and published by IVREA.

(According to Angel Ybáñez own response to this input, this information is wrong and he is not the translator of this sleeve, see below for comments on this post )

are a mess with spells. In the description of the volume (on the back) speak of Pokot can use the "Dragonslayer" (most common name for the Drag Slave used in the English dubbing of the series). And some of the spells are written as in the Yankee version of Slayers.

whole issue of the Sword of Light Pokot is wrong. They take it for real, and all dialogs (few) who speak a replica that is gone, replaced by comments to other events. In fact Lina and Gourry are looking for the Sword of Light in the English version, when in fact looking for a new sword for Gourry, as the Sword of Light is gone.

Now comes the part I was talking about earlier when he said that the translation is contradicted manga the other Slayers. According to the translation, the city is called Sairaag Pokot, the capital of magic, and is the kingdom of Taforasia ... In reality what happens is that Taforasia (which seems to be a kingdom and a city, as Saillune) was founded by descendants of Sairaag.

Anyway, those are some outstanding bugs. There are other little things like Lina calling itself the "Dragonslayer" (though they are the pirates who are called Dra-Matta), or Xellos talking about one "Oz", in some No cross-over kind of weird with the Wizard of Oz xD
De
I really hope that they correct the little things, or move a translator, taking into account that have yet to publish Slayers Evolution-R and Falsh no Sunadokei, a manga with things much more complex. We'll see what happens.

Greetings!
