Zarmina, Planet 'twins' Earth??

Ship Enterprise is spinning. Orange planet circling the cloud-covered thin. Name Fotialla planet. After a close, Captain James Kirk down to the surface. The commander slide with teleportation technology. Meanwhile, steering the ship taken over by Mr Spock.

All they know, Fotialla or planet M-113, is an old planet with a civilization that has died. In fact do not. They were attacked by aliens who are able maternity ugly face like a human. Even the aliens infiltrate into the Enterprise and killing several crewmen.

This is not a true story, but one scene in Star Trek episode 'The Man Trap'. All the events portrayed were fictional occurred in 1513.1. In the scenario, Fotialla categorized as class-M planet. This type planets have an atmosphere containing oxygen, nitrogen, and water are plentiful.

In the real world, the classification of class-M planet is similar to the scientific terminology 'Planet Goldilock.' The experts predict, on this planet, humans may someday live.

End of September 2010, a flock of new planet hunter expert, find one of the planet goldilock. The new planet named Gliese then 581g.

Tim hunters who discovered Gliese 581g, it is Steven Vogt of the University of California (UC) Santa Cruz, Paul Butler of the Carnegie Institution, Eugenio River from UCSC, Nader Hagahighipour from the University of Hawaii, Manoa, and Gregory Henry and Michael Williamson, of Tennessee State University.

581g planet is located in the constellation Libra, the solar system red dwarf star (Red Dwarf). Red dwarf stars were cataloged German astronomer Wilhelm Gliese, in 1957. In order to salute the inventor, a red dwarf star that resembles the sun was later given the name Gliese 581.

Gliese 581 has a number of planets surrounding them, which later was named Gliese 581 with imbued with the alphabet on the back as a differentiator.

The planet closest to the parent star named Gliese 581 Gliese 581e, followed Gliese 581b and Gliese 581C. Planets that are in fourth position is a newly discovered planet, Gliese 581g. Two planets behind it is named Gliese 581d, and the farthest Gliese 581f.

But now most attention is Gliese 581g. Because the new planets were very similar to the condition of the earth.

Steven Vogt, inventor of the planet, less comfortable with the name Gliese 581g. This new planet, he said, "too pretty to be named Gliese 581g." Prefer to call it Zarmina Vogt, Vogt wife's name who lives in California.

Know Zarmina Closer

This planet similar to Earth. The size is larger, about 20 to 50 percent larger than Earth. "This planet can hold more real estate than the earth," Vogt said half-jokingly. With the size of it, of course Zarmina be able to accommodate more living creatures, including humans.

How the situation there? Zarmina has a mass of 3 to 4 times greater than the mass of the earth. Gravity at its surface is also larger, about 1 to 1.5 larger than gravity. That is, if if you weight 70kg on earth, then in Zarmina will be stretched to about 100kg.

Greater force of gravity, making Zarmina able to withstand the atmospheric layer at the surface. The atmosphere is very important, especially to maintain water pressure, to stay liquid.

"From the data we collect at this planet the right distance to find the presence of water, and the mass of the planet is also appropriate for the presence of the atmosphere," said Paul Butler, a researcher at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, who helped Vogt. With a position like that, Zarmina might have inhabited human.

Astronomy Astrophysics Research experts from LAPAN, Professor Dr. Thomas Djamaludin, confirmed that at least there are three main requirements of a livable planet. That is the source of heat (sun), water and organic life. From the indications found by experts, Zarmina has fulfilled two of three conditions earlier.

Zarmina distance to the sun (Gliese 581), about 0.15 astronomical units (AU). And 1 unit of the SA equivalent to the distance of the earth to the sun, or about 150 million km.

That is, the distance Zarmina with its sun (Gliese 581) 7 times closer than Earth to the sun. When the earth has a revolution during the 364 days, Zarmina only require 37 days to complete the rotation once in orbit.

Since Gliese 581 is much smaller than the size of the sun is surrounded by earth, the star will not be as hot as the sun. Therefore, the average surface temperature Zarmina, estimated to range from -31 to -12 degrees Celsius.

However, the actual temperature of the planet is pretty extreme. It can be very hot. Can also be very cold. According to Vogt, in between hot and cold areas, there is a terminator region.

In the terminator region through which the equator, the temperature was warm, like in Mexico or Ecuador, where the residents there are still quite comfortable to wear sleeveless shirts.

In the region of the heat, the wind will be blowing at speeds 30-40 miles per hour. While in cold, wind blowing at speeds up to 10 miles per hour.

Uniquely, because of its location close enough to its star, Zarmina did not perform like the earth's rotation. To maintain its position from the gravitational pull of the sun (Gliese 581), Zarmina locked position.

Surface facing the sun will still get light and heat, while the rear surface of the dark and cold of all time. Therefore, it does not exist on the planet day and night. The part that faces the sun is always the day and the opposite, always night.



Since 11 Years Ago

This discovery was the result of hard work Steven Vogt and his team, who started the study sponsored by the National Science Foundation and NASA, since 11 years ago.

Vogt, is a professor of astronomy and astrophysics that have made some observations on various research UCSC and the University of California observatories, since 1978. Vogt is the person who designed the HiRes spectrometer, which is used to measure the radial velocity of a star.

According to the Head Boscha Observatory, Lembang, Judge L sit, Vogt was one of the pioneers in the discovery of a habitable planet, in addition Prof. Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz who in 1995 discovered extrasolar planets (planets outside our solar system) first, in the star system 51 Pegasi.

Zarmina own discovery was based on research at the WM Keck Observatory in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, combined with data from the Observatory of Geneva Switzerland, who previously had found four other Gliese planet.

It was like being on the border between fiction and reality. The researchers themselves have never seen direct Zarmina planets through a telescope, because the telescope can only see light from the parent star Gliese 581.

They can only analyze the existence of planets - including Zarmina, using a spectrometer capable of measuring the radial velocity star Gliese 581.

Style attraction between the star Gliese 581 with Zarmina, causing the parent star has movement and turns on a small orbit. By observing the radial velocity of that, then Zarmina planets detected and can be estimated mass and its orbit.

Zarmina own invention achieved through debate and that is quite exciting competition among researchers. To collect data, each year Tim Vogt only has 15 days to use the telescope, which diantre by so many teams are researching various research objects.

Tim Vogt was in conflict with the Geneva Observatory, when they ask for the data that is very important. "I had told the Swiss that this is hard work and and we need to go through phases where, 'Our data are more perfect and your data is not, and so on and so on,'" said Vogt.

Fortunately, Vogt managed to convince the Swiss to share data in order to complete his research. "Mutual help one another, is the best way to discover the truth," he said.



Habitable planets Next

The discovery was hailed Vogt renowned scientists. One of them is Sara Seager, an expert on exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) from MIT. "The findings are incremental and monumental," said Sara.

According to him, he did research has discovered several planets that are smaller and situated close to the habitable zone of humans (habitable zone). But, he continued, "This is really a planet in the habitable zone."

Praised so much, Vogt and Butler remained modestly. This discovery, says Vogt, is not the pinnacle of achievement of astronomy. Zarmina, he said, only initial trigger that will lead to discoveries of planets next Goldilock.

"This planet is so close, and we find them quite brief. It may be, we'll find anything like this again," said Vogt.

Outside Zarmina, it is estimated there are more than 400 extrasolar planets waiting to be found. However, in the words of Professor Thomas Djamaluddin, the discovery of habitable planets is currently more on the purpose of discovery against the possibility of intelligent life other than human beings.

As for the goal to build human colonies on the planet, is still not unthinkable. "That's still more like a science fiction story," said Djamaluddin. Because, to reach the planet Zarmina that about 20 light years away (about 200 trillion km), it takes a very long time.

According to Vogt, a spacecraft-speed one-tenth the speed of light (the speed of light is 300 thousand kilometers per second), will bring people down to the planet within 220 years.

Today, perhaps only the USS Enterprise Captain Kirk with him that could bring people to the Zarmina. USS Enterprise safe speed which reaches 5 Warp (about 100 times the speed of light) can theoretically divide the earth into Zarmina distance in just less than 2 hours.

journey obama

Sen. Barack Obama journeyed to Middle America on Monday to lay out his vision of patriotism, conceding that he has learned in this presidential campaign that "the question of who is -- or is not -- a patriot all too often poisons our political debate."

"Throughout my life, I have always taken my deep and abiding love for this country as a given," Obama said in the 29-minute address to about 1,150 people crowded into a gymnasium at the Truman Memorial Building, named for former president Harry S. Truman. "It was how I was raised. It was what propelled me into public service. It is why I am running for president. And yet at times over the last 16 months, my patriotism has been challenged -- at times as a result of my own carelessness, more often as a result of the desire by some to score political points and raise fears about who I am and what I stand for."

... Obama has built his candidacy on the promise of change in a year in which a vast majority of Americans think the nation is on the wrong track. But he has repeatedly been forced to address false rumors that he will not recite the Pledge of Allegiance, place his hand over his heart during the national anthem or wear an American-flag pin on his lapel.

... Obama tried to take the offensive on Monday, saying that he "will not stand idly by" while his patriotism is questioned.

Former Senate majority leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.), a key Obama adviser, said by e-mail: "At times in the past, Democrats have given the impression that they would rather not have the debate. Barack would prefer to engage in the debate. I am pleased that he is."


Mr. Obama arrived here in Independence, the home of President Harry S. Truman, to open a weeklong patriotism tour. He sought to explain and defend his American ideals to ward off skepticism and silence persistent rumors about his loyalties to the nation.

“I will never question the patriotism of others in this campaign,” Mr. Obama said, speaking over the applause of hundreds of supporters. “And I will not stand idly by when I hear others question mine.”

... Mr. Obama sought to place his criticism into a broader context of American history, pointing out that Thomas Jefferson was accused by the Federalists of “selling out to the French,” and John Adams was derided for being “in cahoots with the British.”

“The use of patriotism as a political sword or a political shield is as old as the Republic,” Mr. Obama said.


[Barack] said that today's debate over patriotism is rooted in simplistic caricatures from the 1960s culture wars, and he defined patriotism instead as "loyalty to America's ideals."

... Turning back from the daily sniping, Obama concentrated most of his address on an appeal for Americans to come together for the good of the country behind the nation's ideals, with a readiness to sacrifice and serve.

"In the end," Obama said, what "best describes patriotism in my mind" is love for and faith in the American people, because all that America is results from "the energy and imagination of the American people; their toil, drive, struggle, restlessness, humor and quiet heroism."

"That is the liberty we defend … that is the equality we seek … that is the community we strive to build."
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says Harry Truman, the common sense everyman from Missouri, was one of his favorite presidents. On Monday, he took a few minutes on the campaign trail to soak up some Truman history.

After Obama delivered a speech on the meaning of patriotism at an auditorium in the Truman presidential library complex in Independence, Missouri, he strolled over to Truman’s old house a few blocks away.

He stopped to visit well-wishers along the way, shaking hands and joking with supporters, who poured out of neighboring houses to say hello and stopped on the street to cheer him.

... Once he reached the Truman house, where the 33rd president lived from 1919 until his death in 1972 (except for the years when it served as the summer “White House”) he received a tour from Norton Canfield, a gray-haired, bearded park ranger with a braided ponytail.

When he saw a portrait of Truman’s daughter, Margaret, he sympathized with the president’s threat to punch a newspaper critic who had panned her singing.

“I would have done the same thing if someone had said something mean about my daughter,” Obama said.

... When Canfield showed Obama a hat and coat belonging to Truman hanging beyond the foyer, the Illinois senator sounded positively nostalgic for the days when he could wander the streets without a tailing crew of media and security.

“The thing that I envy most about Truman was that when he was in the White House, he could go out and take a walk. He could put on that fedora and take a stroll, without someone following him,” he said — as the milling crowd outside waited to swarm him when he left the house.

legenda musik

Evanescence didirikan oleh Amy Lee dan mantan gitaris Ben Moody. Mereka berdua berjumpa pada sebuah kamp anak muda di Arkansas, di mana Moody mendengar Lee bermain lagu I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) karangan Meat Loaf pada sebuah piano.

Kemudian pasangan ini menemukan bahwa mereka sama-sama tertarik terhadap Jimi Hendrix dan Björk. Kemudian mereka bersama-sama menulis lagu (yang pertama adalah "Solitude" oleh Amy Lee, diikuti dengan "Understanding" oleh Ben Moody, "Give Unto Me" oleh Amy Lee. Kemudian lagu keempat yang mereka tulis adalah "My Immortal"). Lagu-lagu ini lalu dirubah sedikit secara lirik dan musiknya oleh Ashley Hincher. Oleh karena itu nama keduanya ditemukan pada bagian credit.

Untuk beberapa saat, mereka tidak dapat menemukan musisi lainnya yang bisa bermain dengan mereka dan tidak memiliki dana untuk membayar asistensi profesional, jadi mereka tidak bisa bermain musik secara live. Namun dua lagu mereka "Understanding" dan "Give Unto Me", bisa masuk tangga musik lokal dan permintaan untuk pertunjukan live mulai meningkat. Setelah grup ini akhirnya bisa berpentas, mereka akhirnya menjadi salah satu pementasan terpopuler di daerah mereka. Mereka berpentas menggunakan beberapa nama termasuk "Childish Intentions" dan "Stricken," sebelum memutuskan untuk menggunakan nama "Evanescence" (yang artinya adalah "berpudar", atau "menguap seperti asap"). Amy pernah berkata bahwa ia menyenangi nama ini karena nama ini misterius dan gelap dan meninggalkan kesan yang mendalam dalam benak seseorang. Oleh karena itu ia menginginkan nama ini.

Karya-karya awal

Album perdana mereka, Origin (dirilis tahun 2000), kurang dikenal oleh masyarakat pecinta musik. Evanescence juga merilis dua EP, yang sekarang sangat dicari-cari para kolektor karena sangat langka: Evanescence EP (1998) di mana ada sekitar 100 eksemplar dan, Sound Asleep EP, yang juga dikenal sebagai Whisper EP (1999), dan terbatas pada 50 eksemplar.

Tidak aneh, Origin dan kedua EP ini mengandung versi-versi demo dari beberapa lagu yang ada di album perdana mereka. Bahkan, rekaman lagu "My Immortal" juga ditemukan di Fallen selain terdapat di Origin, dikurangi beberapa instrumen pengiring. Namun Amy Lee sendiri menganggap bahwa rekaman ini bukan sebuah album yang sejati namun hanya sebuah kumpulan lagu-lagu demo (di mana beberapa di antara tidak dipentaskan secara baik) yang dikirimkan ke perusahaan-perusahaan musik. Hanya 2.500 eksemplar dari rekaman ini yang pernah dibuat dan dengan ini membatasi availability-nya hanya kepada beberapa yang mujur bisa membelinya pada tahun-tahun awal atau kepada mereka yang bersedia membayar ratusan dolar. Sebagai reaksi, Amy Lee bahkan mendorong para penggemar untuk men-download-nya dari internet pada sebuah wawancara.

Tidak mengherankan beberapa perusahaan pembajakan menjual rekaman-rekaman bajakan Origin, biasanya sebagai "rilis ulang Rusia" dan pada harga yang tinggi. Oleh karena itu disarankan bahwa para penggemar seyogyanya jangan membuang uang mereka pada sebuah eksemplar Origin karena kemungkinan besar bukan eksemplar asli dan tidak menguntungkan grup ini lagi.

Fallen
Gambar sampul Fallen

Album utama pertama mereka "Fallen" sudah mendapatkan penghargaan 6x Platinum, dan berada selama 43 pada Billboard Top 10. Lalu lebih dari 12 juta eksemplar album ini laku terjual.

Single Evanescence utama yang pertama; "Bring Me to Life" merupakan sebuah dobrakan dunia bagi band ini dan mencapai urutan ke-5 pada Billboard Hot 100 di Amerika Serikat, sementara "My Immortal" yang sama-sama populer mencapai urutan ke-7 di AS. Lalu dimasukkannya lagu-lagu ini dalam soundtrack film Daredevil menolong mereka menjadi populer dan membuat posisi mereka di dunia musik menjadi kokoh.

Lalu single "Bring Me to Life" juga mendapatkan pengakuan untuk band ini pada Grammy Awards of 2004, di mana band ini diberi penghargaan Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Pada waktu yang sama, Evanescence juga diberi penghargaan Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Dua single dari album Fallen yang dirilis termasuk "Going Under" dan "Everybody's Fool", yang juga dibuatkan video klip.

Lalu lagu Breathe No More yang sebelumnya belum dirilis, termasuk pada soundtrack film Elektra yang dirilis tahun 2005.

Kepergian Ben

Pada 22 Oktober 2003, Moody secara tiba-tiba meninggalkan band ini, padahal sedang berada di tengah-tengah tur Eropa. Alasannya mula-mula yang dilaporkan karena mereka mengalami "perbedaan secara kreatif." Namun pada sebuah wawancara beberapa bulan kemudian, [1], Amy Lee berkata: "Kami mencapai suatu titik di mana jika tidak sesuatu halpun berubah, kami tidak akan bisa membuat album kedua."

Setelah saat itu, Amy Lee pernah berkata bahwa kepergiaan Ben hampir bisa dikatakan melegakan karena keberadaannya menciptakan ketegangan dalam band. Terry Balsamo dari band Cold mengganti Moody. Belum lama ini Moody mengaku dalam sebuah wawancara bahwa ia mengidap bipolar disorder, namun meninggalkan terapi narkoba dan alkohol ketika ia sedang terlihat pertikaian dengan Evanescence. Ia juga berkata bahwa lagu yang ditulisnya ketika kepergiannya secara tiba-tiba dan berjudul "10/22", mula-mula ditulisnya untuk menjelek-jelekkan Amy Lee. Namun setelah berintrospeksi Moody membeberkan bahwa ia sebenarnya membicarakan dirinya sendiri dan bukan Lee.

Gulat

Walaupun bukanlah sebuah bagian penting dari karirnya, beberapa karya Evanescence pernah dipakai di dunia gulat. Sebelum lagu "Bring Me To Life" dirilis di Amerika Serikat, lagu itu sudah menjadi musik tema untuk WWE No Way Out 2003. Christian Cage, seorang pegulat, memakai versi lain dari lagu "My Last Breath" sebagai musik iringannya.
Kontroversi Kekristenan

Pada awalnya Evanescence dianggap sebagai bagian dari Christian rock dan bahkan album mereka dijual di toko-toko Kristen. Namun para anggota band ini sudah menyatakan bahwa mereka tidak mau dianggap sebagai sebuah grup Christian rock, apalagi setelah Moody memaki-maki pada sebuah wawancara. Tidak lama kemudian toko-toko Kristen menghilangkan album-album mereka dari rak-rak mereka. Setelah itu Amy Lee menyatakan bahwa mereka BUKAN sebuah grup Kristen dan akan menghargai apabila gosip ini akan berhenti.

Namun biar bagaimanapun terdapat bukti bahwa Evanescence merupakan sebuah grup Kristen dan hal ini terutama terlihat atau terdengar jelas pada lagu mereka "Tourniquet".
Persamaan

Band ini seringkali disamakan dengan band nu-metal seperti Linkin Park, P.O.D. dan Papa Roach, namun banyak penggemar yang menolak karena persamaan ini kurang tepat karena hanya berdasarkan lagu "Bring Me to Life" saja, yang juga menampilkan vokalis 12 Stones; Paul McCoy yang bermain musik bergaya rap pada beberapa bagian pendek lagu ini. Namun hal ini tidaklah representatif bagi kebanyakan lagu-lagu mereka, baik di album Fallen maupun karya-karya mereka yang lebih awal. Evanescence juga disamakan dengan band-band seperti In Winter, Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, dan Within Temptation, yang semuanya memakai vokalis wanita dan tema-tema lirik yang gelap, namun band-band terakhir ini biasa dianggap symphonic metal/gothic metal dan bukan rock.

Pada saat pementasan secara live, Evanescence seringkali memainkan lagu-lagu cover dari band-band semasa seperti A Perfect Circle, The Offspring, Garbage, Metallica, dan Korn. Mereka juga pernah mementaskan lagu-lagu grup rock alternatif yang sudah dibubarkan seperti Soundgarden dan The Smashing Pumpkins.

terlibat narkotika

Los Angeles - Kirsten Dunst revealed Monday that she checker herself in earlier this year to an exclusive rehabilitation center to battle depression rather than an addiction to alcohol or drugs.

"I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse," Dunst told a reporter for Entertainment TV. "I went there for depression."

The 26-year-old Hollywood star said it took her six months to make the decision. "I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself," she said. "I was fortunate to have the resources to do it.

Dunst said she was going public with the medical matter to put an end to rumours about her personal problems and to shine a spotlight on the fact that depression can strike anyone.

"We're all in the same boat together," she said. "Depression is pretty serious and should not be gossiped about." (dpa)

gosssif

Kirsten DunstMelbourne, May 28 : American actress Kirsten Dunst has revealed that she checked into rehab to seek treatment for depression, not drugs.

Speaking out for the first time about her admission to rehab, the ‘Spiderman’ star revealed that her rehab stint came after months of feeling low.

“It was a good six months before I decided to go away,” News. com. au quoted Dunst, as telling E! Online.

“I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too," she added.

The 26-year-old actress had checked into the Utah treatment centre in February without revealing the reasons behind the stint, which in turn sparked off rumours the she was also struggling with drugs.

“There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it’s been very painful for my friends and family,” she said.

“Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumours, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something,” she added.

A source close to Dunst also revealed she was into depression.

"She does drink and she does have wild nights, but that was never the root of her issues. She couldn't control her depression," the source said. (ANI)
