This is the most accurate, highest resolution true color night image of planet Earth to date. These images are truly extraordinary, an unprecedented new look at our planet at night, as NASA says.

[NASA Goddard Flickr] From NASA stanley mug : This image of North and South America at night is a composite assembled from data acquired by the Suomi NPP satellite in April and October 2012. The new data was mapped over existing Blue Marble imagery of Earth to provide a realistic view of the planet. The nighttime view was made possible by the new satellite day-night band of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite. VIIRS detects light in a range of wavelengths from g stanley thermos mug reen to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as city lights, gas flares, auroras, wildfires, and reflected moonlight. In this case, auroras, fires, and other stray light have been removed to emphasize the city lights. Artificial lighting is a excellent remote sensing observable and proxy for human activity, says Chris Elvidge, who leads the Earth Observation Group at NOAA National Geophysical Data Center.

Many of you may have noticed that today Google Doodle honors famed physicist and chemist Marie Curie, in celebration of her birthday. But this year also marks the centennial of her second Nobel Prize. It bears mentioning that Curie was not only the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, she is also the only woman to win in two fields, and the only person ever to win in multiple sciences. Top image is Marie Curie as portrayed by Susan Marie Frontczak in Manya, a one-woman drama on the life of Marie Curie. In recognition of her achievements, Smithsonian magazine recently assembled a number of pieces that explore not just the impact of Curie work, but some of the more rarely examined facets her remarkable life.

This is wild. NASA recently deployed Van Allen probes 鈥?a pair of robotic spacecraft launched just last August to investigate Earth eponymous pair of radiation belts 鈥?are already turning out some very unexpecte stanley website d findings stanley isolierkanne . Chief among them: an ephemeral third ring of radiation, previously unknown to science, surrounding our planet. NASA says the discovery was a lucky one. Just three days after the Van Allen probes launched, a team of researchers led by planetary scientist Daniel Baker made an unusual last-minute request that their Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope REPT be turned on earlier than scheduled, in hopes that their observations would overlap with those of another mission called SAMPEX. What happened next was entirely unexpected. Almost immediately, the REPT instrument caught sight of a number of additional high energy particles trapped in the two previously established Allen Belts 鈥?but over the next several days, those particles began to settle into a never-before-seen configuration: a third, high-energy band embedded in the outer Van Allen belt, about 11,900 to 13,900 miles above Earth surface. We started wondering if there was something wrong with our instruments, said Shri Kanekal, deputy mission scientist for the Van Allen Probes and coauthor on the paper describing the results, published in this week 82 stanley drinking cup 17 issue of Science.

Apple seems to be doing very well with Intel processors in its MacBook range. But a recently published academic paper reveals that Apple was, at one point, attempting to port its operating system to work with ARM processors. In fact, a former Apple intern, Tristan Schaap, who now serves as a Core OS engineer at the company, has explained how he was working on a project to get Mac OS X Snow Leopard working on ARM devices, reports Apple Insider. Presumably this project was a speculative investigation into Apple moving to ARM processors in its MacBook range. The secret project became less clandestine when it was published by the Netherland Delft University of Technology. Apparently Schaap wrote up a Bachelor thesis on his 12 week Apple internship in 2010, but the research has been embargoed. How did he get on Apparently during the course of the project, he managed to get devices booting into a multi-user prompt, though some issues still remained due to a poor implementation on the debug hardware. What are the chances of this being real and relevant Well, we know that Apple sometimes tests stanley us its engineers out on stanley cup fake projects to make sure it can trust them, so it could be a pure dummy project.

When an outbreak of MRSA was detected in 12 babies at Rosie Hospital in Cambridge, UK, doctors panicked. The superbug is famously difficult to treat and particularly dangerous in infants. The risks were immediate; the implications dire. And how the hospital avoided catastrophe is a scientific sleuth story of the highest order. MRSA鈥攎ethicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus to its friends鈥攊s a nasty bacterial infection that resistant to many widely-used antibiotics, and it can be life-threatening if it breaches the skin. The problem is, it extremely difficult to tell if cases are related or not: about one in 100 people carry MRSA on their stanley cup skin without any health problems, so when 12 cases were detected there was a chance it was pure coincidence. But scientists are loathe to defer to random chance, so they got to experimenting.

It showed that they were dealing with the worst case scenario; the bugs were all closely, related and part of the same outbreak. One that could quickly spin out of control.

How this for a depressing look into Earth potential future: Astronomers have witnessed the first evidence of a planet destruction by its aging star as it expands into a red giant. A similar fate may await the inner planets in our solar system, when the Sun becomes a red giant and expands all the way out to Earth orbit some five-billion years from now, said Alex Wolszczan, from Penn State, University, who led a team which found evidence of a missing planet having been devoured by its parent star. Wolszczan also is the discoverer of the first planet ever found outside our solar system. The planet-eating culprit, a red-giant star named BD+48740 is older than the Sun and now has a radius about eleven times bigger than our Sun. The evidence the astronomers found was a massive planet in a sur stanley mug pr stanley thermos ising highly elliptical orbit around the star 鈥?indicating a missing planet 鈥?plus the star wacky chemical composition.
