To Mars, Use Water Fueled Aircraft
Illustration of the concept of water-fueled aircraft equipped with solar cells
for space exploration in the future.
Travel into space, including Mars, will probably be much cheaper. The reason, scientists are now developing water-fueled plane. With a plane, go home fare to Mars could cost as cheap as the launch of a single plane.

Artificial Leaves Can Perform Photosynthesis
Successfully created an artificial leaf that can process sunlight and water into energy efficient as the original leaf. In the event the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, recently, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced their success in making artificial leaves made of materials that are stable and not expensive, but has the nature of the original leaf.

The phenomenon of "Fire Falls" as high as 600 Meters
Viewing the falls may have been the norm. However, what about the "fire falls"? This is a unique phenomenon that can be seen at Horsetail Falls in Yosemite National Park, California. The fire was contained in the group plunged the Sierra Nevada mountains, west of Lake Tahoe, having a height of 2,000 feet or about 600 meters.

Algae Could Be paper-thin battery
Imagine one day you can wrap a gift with wrapping paper that read "Happy Birthday!" which can be lit without a conventional battery as we know it, because the paper itself the batteries. That is one possible use of new batteries are made from cellulose, ie paper material, so that environmentally friendly because it can be parsed natural.
Love Hormones Found in Monkey
Oxytocin was found in all mammals, but oxytocin was found in monkeys is different.
The term puppy love is often used to describe the love of teenagers who are not serious. But apparently even a monkey could love.

Astronomers Capture Image "Star Married"
Computer simulation that shows the two stars orbit each other.
Scientists know that the two stars could be like a human one by a rope tied to marriage. However, for many years to find, astronomers have not found it. Until finally some good news coming from Romuald Tylenda, the Polish astronomer, who managed to capture images that marry the star phenomenon.
Angola's First Dinosaur Fossils

JOHANNESBURG - Many years of war ravaged, Angola turned out to save the prehistoric impressions are important for science. For the first time, after a period of peace, the scientists found dinosaur fossils in southwest Africa.
The findings were published in a paper in the journal Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Science. These are the types of sauropod dinosaurs with long necks, plant-eating herbivores alias, and including the largest creature in the world of all time.

Radiation Dose Human Acceptable
Red Cross volunteers who had just returned from Fukushima scanned to ensure the presence

The explosion in the Light of the Moon Aurora
Aurora borealis is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena on Earth. Recording beauty with the camera, much less under the full moon light, it is not easy because the aurora borealis light will "lose" by moonlight.
However, a German photographer Kerstin Langenberger managed to do. In the photo, the aurora borealis visible light in the light of the Moon, as this phenomenon emerged in broad daylight.

Biggest sky objects in the Universe
The Universe consists of celestial objects. Among the celestial bodies, there are some which included the largest in size. Here is the largest celestial bodies according to its category.
Largest Planet
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. But, the biggest planet in the universe is TrES-4b found in 2006, orbiting a star 1500 light years away from Earth. The diameter of the planet is 1.8 larger than Jupiter.
The biggest planet is still in debate following the results of recent observations EASP-17b. Extra solar planet is located 1000 light years from Earth and has a mass half that of Jupiter is said to have 2 times the diameter of Jupiter.
The biggest artifact
So far the largest artifact in the universe adalan International Space Station which has a width of 190 meters and weighs 370 tons. In this case the artifacts are man-made celestial bodies.
Largest galaxy
Based on the standard model of galaxy formation, the largest is a monster elliptical galaxies formed from the merger of smaller galaxies. Examples are the biggest galaxy IC 1101 in the form of the lens. This galaxy located billions of years from Earth,in the middle of the galaxy cluster Abell 2029. The diameter of this galaxy to reach 6 million light years, making it a thousand times the volume of the Milky Way.
The biggest hole
What is meant not the black hole, but it is a stretch of darkness. Galaxies are arranged in a large wall-sized a few hundred light years away with an empty space in between. Found the biggest empty space in 2007 measuring nearly a billion light.
The biggest Stars
The biggest star is VY Canis Majoris, located 5000 light years from Earth. Diameters estimated at 3 billion kilometers. The estimate was clarified again because some astronomers estimate that only 1 billion kilometers in diameter.
