Vestea nu a fost confirmată încă de NASA, dar provine de la unul dintre cei mai importanţi astronomi implicaţi în proiectul Kepler.
Într-o prezentare recentă, Dimitar Sasselov, cercetător care lucrează în echipa ce se ocupă de gestionarea datelor colectate de telescopul Kepler, a oferit o informaţie extraordinară: NASA a descoperit circa 140 de planete în jurul altor stele cu dimensiuni asemănătoare Pământului.
Potrivit discovery.com, de obicei un anunţ de asemenea magnitudine se face de obicei printr-un comunicat de presă, dar în timpul unui prezentări TEDGLobal din Oxford, Anglia, Sasselov a lansat această informaţie într-un slide din prezentarea sa.
„Putem observa că planetele mici domină totul”, a declarat acesta în timp ce prezenta un grafic cu diverse exoplanete, care arăta şi numărul lor, potrivit estimărilor din iulie 2010.
Este o ştire extraordinară, iar dacă va fi confirmată de NASA, descoperirea a peste 100 de planete asemănătoare Pământului va rămâne în cărţile de istorie.
Deşi telescopul a fost construit pe această supoziţie, Kepler a dovedit că planeta noastră nu este unică în galaxie. Dacă există atâtea planete telurice în galaxie, care sunt şansele ca să aibă şi viaţă extraterestră?

Again, awareness starts to peak ,
another day breaks in
It always takes me by surprise,
throwing me in the spin …
…of things
Not knowing what it brings,
I do embrace it, even if, its not something I asked for
And even if , for all I get, I know I will pay more
For every life will end in death
And there is pain for every breath
You ever take, and you will break
In thousands of pieces,
As consciousness releases ,
Its side effects
it injects you with addictions,
Afflictions for which there is no pill
I am alive so I am ill
Because I am , therefore I feel
I dont just think about what thinking means
But also feel for other feeling things
And end up with a bleeding heart
Watching us tear this world apart
Can we stop now before alls gone ?
Can we undo the damage done ?
Yes, I am part of the game
And though I know Im part to blame
For all of this
I still see hope under the mess
And beauty in the Universe
I ponder on it in silence
Wonder what will be left of us
Before our sun finally bursts
And ends our cry and joy and lust
Before we all become star dust …
again
Will we destroy ourselves by then ?
And leave behind just pain and shame
Or will we ever find the ways to win the game
The ways
to earn our place
as the enlightened consciousness
That creates art and conquers space
I hope theres hope for us … but how ?
Look at us now ….
We invent Gods who bless our wars
And justify the hatred flooding our pores
We feed on life and kill our kind
Yet we pretend we were designed …
intelligently ?!
Consequently, we find reasons
to commit evils
By falling on our knees
and asking God to please
Help us make bombs and do violent acts
To serve religions of peace
While trusting our kids to pedophile priests
This is us!
We close our eyes and praise the skies
Anesthetize our minds and fill our hearts with lies
About eternal paradise in afterlife
While we give birth to Hell on Earth
Is it worth it ?
DeVotchka – How it Ends:
We all know it some recognise it others don’t nevertheless we all want to look up to someone, somebody who models a lifestyle we admire.These people should be individuals who have risen above the circumstances of life to accomplish something significant.But this is where the problem lies, we want our heroes to be above self promotion and climbing on the backs of others.But that is very difficult to do in today’s world of widespread self-centeredness.And I don’t mean to get too melodramatic, but there seems to be more hurting than healing going on in the world today.I’m not talking about television series or comic books heroes although i think we could try to inspire our actions from them.Why?Because does heroes fight for what is right no matter the cost and don’t put their own interest before others. I don’t say that fantasy heroes are perfect because in fact a hero doesn’t need to be perfect nor does it necessarily need to be famous.Where do we find heroes?Well to answear that first we have to know what is the distinguishing essence of heroism.Every rational person, growing up, had his favorite childhood heroes.Whatever one’s individual tastes in heroes, one fact is abundantly clear a hero is not someone who reaches a goal easily being a hero, to me, means that you want pursue a worthwhile goal, knowing that the effort will be very difficult or even dangerous for the good of all mankind or at least as many as posible.People tend to forget thinking that what we take for granted is not a right but a privilege that we only have becouse some time, some where somebody did something wonderful an act of sacrifice for a cause that wasn’t necessary his or hers. In the West, there has long been an equivocal tradition of heroism. In Classical Greece, heroes were notable as much for their prowess as their moral nature. The Christian tradition altered the concept, replacing prowess with spiritual purity and honor. The Christian hero’s purity is his devotion to God and his fellow man. His heroism is marked by his indifference to his own life and interests. Jesus on the cross, dying for the sins of mankind, is the archetype, but many martyrs and servants of the Christian cause have followed in those footsteps.Strength is heroic it is used by excellence for a noble goal. Self-sacrifice is a noble heroic act if is in the service of a cause or for others.Being a hero has nothing to do with abilities or superpowers, although it would be super cool to have them. But it has everything to do with desire,fear and altruism.Franklin D. Roosevelt made a famous remark about fear: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” that wasn’t an endorsement of fear it was a clear statemeant against fear and the belief of some that you don’t allways need to fight for what is right no matter the circumstances. Have you ever imagined yourself a hero? Most of us have at one time or another. We have to talk about it,because somewhere in all of us there lies a hero waiting to emerge,it only depends on us. Courage is the virtue of pursuing one’s values consistently in the face of risk. It is not courageous to seek death and destruction: there is no value in death, just as there is no content to a zero. Nor is it courage if a foolhardy person acts in disregard of the risks. Indeed, it is essential to courage that one know the risk one faces, and accept it.In all fairness, one must admit that there are only some great enought out there to become true real life heroes but we can all al least try to become true heroes by being voluntaries for noble causes.I know that many of you reading this ARE Heroes. You do real, tangible things and believe strongly in so much. It gets exhausting to keep it up AND try to live in the mere-mortalsphere. That’s why it would be good to teach people to find their inner-Heroes. For those of us with causes, we really need to start creating tangible things for people to do and real motivations to uncover those hidden powers.Everyone should try to become a hero i know i do and i know others that are trying the same thing.Why do i say this?Because this world could be a lot better then it is now we all want the world to change but only a few have the courage to step in for such a large task.I will end this with a quote from David Bowie : “We can be heroes, just for one day.”
If you are trying to be a hero and change the world please give me your blogs url so that i will post it here let us try to make a real life Justice League
People that i know are trying to become heroes :
