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. It the newest and sleekest version of the Blue Marble. NASA calls it the Black Marble. And it 82 stanley canada 17 stunning indeed. The images are also perfect for your desktop, phone and tablet background. And you can pick whatever hemisphere you want right here at full resolution, 8,192 x 8,192 pixels. [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.

You ;re not looking at a new phone headed to stores any time soon鈥攊n fact, you ;re looking at the surprisingly sleek, all-touch webOS smartphone developed by HP which sadly never was. Unearthed by webOS Nation, this phone鈥攃odenamed WindsorNot鈥攈ad similar innards to the Pre 3, but focussed on an all-touch, 4-inch, 800 x 4 stanley mugs 80 touchscreen, and ran webOS 3.x. That the same OS as the ill-fated HP TouchPad so, in reality, perhaps it best that i stanley en mexico t never saw light of day. The phone was initially slated for release in late 2011, but a series of delays meant that in the end the phone wouldn ;t have been able to ship until 2012.

I have a lot to do this weekend, but most of it will involve pornographic photos of iPads, because I pre-ordered one and I have never owned an iPad before.

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. Featured here is a short excerpt from Madame Curie Passion, an ex stanley website ceptional in-depth feature by Julie Des Jardins that really warrants a read: When M stanley cup arie Curie came to the United States for the first time, in May 1921, she had already discovered the elements radium and polonium, coined the term radio-active and won the Nobel Prize 鈥?twice.

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. We checked everything, but there was nothing wrong with them. The third belt persist

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. Or, equally likely, Apple was keen to understand more about the ARM architecture for use in laptops. https://gizmodo/apple-makes-new-employee...-a-5880510 Either way, I suspect a shift to ARM in Apple MacBooks is stanley cup uk unli Juqs The New Facebook Layout, Translated

The Drake Equation, developed by astronomer Frank Drake, is an equation that estimates how many alien civilizations might live in our galaxy. But the more we find out about the way of the milky, the less chance alien life exists.
