WOW: Is the 'God particle' an impostor? Scientists claim signal found in Large Hadron Collider may not be Higgs after all

'Uncertainty' over signal detected at CERN

Particle could instead be 'impostor', claim Cornell scientists

CERN scientists to analyse data further

Signals detected from the Large Hadron Collider were hailed as conclusive proof that the 'God particle' - the Higgs boson - had been found after a quest spanning nearly five decades.

A week after the discovery of a particle, believed to be the elusive particle, scientists at Cornell University have said they are not so sure.

In a paper published this week, Ian Low, Joseph Lykken and Gabe Shaughnessy of Cornell have cast doubt on what exactly was detected within the Hadron Collider.

WOW: Windy on the East: Map shows the path of EVERY tornado to hit the U.S. in the last 60 years by Eddie Wrenn

If you are in America and want to avoid the path of a tornado, the West side of the nation might be the place to go.

For this map shows the course of every single tornado that has hit the U.S. over the last six decades, and as you can see, few places on the East side of the continent have escaped the path of the deadly winds.

The neon-coloured map was created as a side-project by mapping manager John Nelson, in a case of taking his work home with him, as he works for data-visualisation software maker IDV Solutions.

WOW: Stunning Map Reveals World's Earthquakes Since 1898 by Andrea Mustain, OurAmazingPlanet

If you've ever wondered where — and why — earthquakes happen the most, look no further than a new map, which plots more than a century's worth of nearly every recorded earthquake strong enough to at least rattle the bookshelves.

The map shows earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 or greater since 1898; each is marked in a lightning-bug hue that glows brighter with increasing magnitude. The overall effect is both beautiful and arresting, revealing the silhouettes of Earth's tectonic boundaries in stark, luminous swarms of color.

ESA Hubble - Dramatic Change Spotted on Faraway Planet

Published on Jun 28, 2012 by camillasdo

Dr. J (aka Dr. Joe Liske) presents the latest discovery about HD 189733b, an exoplanet that has been repeatedly studied by Hubble.

Observations taken in 2011 using Hubble and the Swift satellite showed a flare from the planet's parent star scorching the upper atmosphere and driving it off into space.

WOW: The most volcanic place in the solar system: NASA maps hot spots caused by hundreds of volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io by Graham Smith

Mapping Io's hot spots: Nasa has collated data to analyse the heat pouring out of the Jovian moon's volcanoes - the larger the spot, the larger the thermal emission

The data, collected by both NASA's Voyager and Galileo spacecraft and ground-based telescopes, left researchers surprised at it disposes of the generally-accepted model of Io's internal heating

NASA has undertaken the task of mapping the pattern of volcanic heat on the surface of Jovian moon Io.

The heat pouring out of Io's hundreds of erupting volcanoes - the most volcanic place in the known solar system - indicates a previously unknown complex, multi-layer source, scientists found.

The data, collected by both NASA's Voyager and Galileo spacecraft and ground-based telescopes, left researchers surprised at it disposes of the generally-accepted model of internal heating.

WOW NASA TRANSIT OF VENUS

WOW: DON'T MISS: 5th - 6th June 2012: The Transit of Venus

eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov - The transit or passage of a planet across the face of the Sun is a relatively rare occurrence. As seen from Earth, only transits of Mercury and Venus are possible. On average, there are 13 transits of Mercury each century. In contrast, transits of Venus occur in pairs with more than a century separating each pair.

The last Venus transit was in 2004 so the second event of the pair will occur on Wednesday, June 6 (Tuesday, June 5 from the Western Hemisphere). The entire event will be widely visible from the western Pacific, eastern Asia and eastern Australia as shown in Figure 1. Most of North and Central America, and northern South America will witness the beginning of the transit (on June 5) but the Sun will set before the event ends. Similarly, observers in Europe, western and central Asia, eastern Africa and western Australia will see the end of the event since the transit will already be in progress at sunrise from those locations....Click eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov to read FULL report

A short video demonstration of convective cooling being the result of gravity....Down here on Earth, boiling water forms lightweight vapor bubbles that are pushed up to the water’s surface and release their heat. In free-fall, however, buoyancy differences don’t exist, so the vapor can only shape itself into an undulating ‘balloon.’...More information:Research to Watch on the STS-133 Shuttle Launch to the International Space Station....AS
