New Earth

The exoplanet is one of six believed to be orbiting a dwarf star 42 light-years from Earth.The family of planets circling a relatively close dwarf star has grown to six, including a potential rocky world at least seven times more massive than Earth that is properly located for liquid water to exist on its surface, a condition believed to be necessary for life.

Scientists added three new planets to three discovered in 2008 orbiting an orange star called HD 40307, which is roughly three-quarters as massive as the sun and located about 42 light-years away in the constellation Pictor.

Of particular interest is the outermost planet, which is believed to fly around its parent star over 200 days, a distance that places it within HD 40307's so-called "habitable zone."

          Superman's planet found 

Neil deGrasse Tyson came to DC Comics to find the father's of all superheroes home world. And he got it.

A prominent astrophysicist has pinned down a real location for Superman's fictional home planet of Krypton.

Krypton is found 27.1 light-years from Earth, in the southern constellation Corvus (The Crow), says Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium in New York City. The planet orbits the red dwarf star LHS 2520, which is cooler and smaller than our sun.

I’ve often wondered exactly what kind of star Krypton orbited and where it was. Up until now all we’ve known is that it was red, and red stars come in many flavors, from dinky red dwarfs with a tenth the mass of the Sun up to massive supergiants like Betelgeuse which outweigh the Sun by dozens of times 

               Can UFOs Cause Air Accidents

Pilots have been seeing unexplained things outside their cockpit windows since the dawn of aviation.
One of the most legendary examples happened near the end of World War II when both Allied and German pilots reported seeing fiery glowing objects that followed their planes and then disappeared in wild maneuvers.

The sky phantoms were nicknamed foo-fighters (long before the 1990s alternative rock band), and thought to be secret military weapons.

There is a legendary case of a military aircraft crashing during a UFO pursuit. In January 1948, four P-51 Mustang fighters were rerouted to check out an object described as one fourth the angular size of the full moon (the diameter was estimated to be 300 feet, but this can't be calculated without knowing the object's distance). The P-51s broke off the pursuit except for one pilot Thomas Mantell who climbed to 25,000 feet without oxygen, blacked out, and spiraled to a crash landing.


As is symptomatic of UFO hyperbole, this story has been embellished with claims the UFO was gigantic and metallic, and it perhaps used a space weapon on Mantell to keep him away. The incident was a game-changer for belief in UFOs at the time. UFOs could shoot back! The simplest explanation is that Mantell was chasing a silver 30-foot diameter secret Navy high altitude balloon. (Another secret balloon probably crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in the summer of 1947, but that’s another story.)

Yes, there are decades of pilots reporting oddball lights in the sky spooking them, and even a New York Times best-seller entitled: "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record." But there has never been a corroborated report of a truly exotic vehicle of obvious extraterrestrial construction (something more than a blob, a Frisbee-looking thing, or other primitive geometric shape) ever being seen in broad daylight and up close.

                          Bamboo Phone

At the beginning of this year, the tech company ADzero announced that they are going to release  bamboo mobile phone in 2012.

The phone is made from treated organic bamboo and has 16 GBs of storage as well as an 8-megapixel camera with a shadow-minimizing feature. It will run on Android Ice Cream Sandwich and has a 1.4 GHz Samsung Exynos quad-core processor. From laptops to bicycles, bamboo is becoming a trend. It's has been a pretty popular choice among designers looking for a sustainable, yet durable choice for creating new things.

However popular the material, the ADzero phone still needs funding. Which is why they mentioned a soon-to-be started Kickstarter campaign. To get a phone, donors must give at least $500, which is apparently an "Early Bird Special" of $200 off of the original retail price.

This announcement was made on Friday, but there was no specific release date announced for the phone or when the actual campaign would start. If you're in the market for a sustainable phone and have the extra dough to spend, keep an eye out.


That is exactly how awesome phone should look like. If rich people searching for phone which would make them look according their status in society, then they definetely would buy that phone. I personaly get bored of phone design.

Two Months Until the Mayan Doomsday Nonevent

As Most of the people already believe that world is going to end in October 21st, 2012. Why would they think that it's true. Apparently the old civilization called Mayans located in Central America had an ability of predicting a future, who existed approximately between A.d. 250-900.They had calendar which is suppose to end in December 21st, 2012 . People try to prove it to everyone maybe because they have no money and they want to get some by selling books, describing reasons for Doomsday.


I don't necessarily believe in 2012 doomsday but it certainly makes me a little bit worried, I mean who wouldn't be after hearing exact date when they are going to die. Specially when there are facts. I mean its pretty weird that Mayans calendar ends in December 2012, but the thing is, people never foud that Mayans predicted that there is going to be the end of the world, people just logically decided that its means that world is not ging to exist by that date.

Giant Eyeball Likely Belonged to Swordfish

This huge eye ball was found on the beach in Florida (USA). Biologists suggest that its swordsfish eye. By looking at its structure and color the most simular underwater animal happens to be swordfish but its very rear to that swordfish reaches that kind of size, judging by size of this eye ball scientists also suggest that it might be huge octupus which usually live deep underwater on the the bottom of the ocean

            Felix Baumgartner's Iconic Jump

The Red Bull Stratos mission carried Felix Baumgartner to an altitude of over 128,000 feet -- 8,000 feet higher than planned -- when the daredevil took the plunge into thin air. Despite a minor issue with Baumgartner's visor causing it to fog up unexpectedly, the ascent progressed as planned. The New Mexico weather even allowed a picture perfect ascent over Roswell. After the event, it was deduced that Baumgartner traveled in excess of Mach 1.4 (1.4 times the speed of sound) -- or 833 mph (1,342.8 kph).

I like reading about world records because it gives understanding of what human ability really is. It gives you an inspiration that if you try hard anything is possible. The world is full of good man but people who try hard they do it because they dont wanna be good man they want to be the great one. What Felix Baumgarther done is showing pure courage and greatness.
