Beautiful dawn in Antarctica

The sun set inside the giant storm, the beautiful sunrise in Antarctica, . are 3 of the series with memorable photo science stories last week.

The tropical storm named Isaac is attacking the Caribbean and is expected to be much stronger as it moves towards the state of Florida in the southeastern United States. Earlier, it swept the island nation of Haiti on Saturday (August 25). The picture of the sunset in the storm was taken by the US National and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research team when it passed Isaac on a specially equipped aircraft to collect data. .

Researchers have announced a new technique to combat global warming by pumping salt water into the sky. Accordingly, specialized ships will fire small salt particles into the air in the ocean, creating large and long-lasting clouds that reflect sunlight back into space, thereby cooling the Earth. .

In the remote forest on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, scientists discovered a new species of mouse called Paucidentomys vermidax with absolutely no molars. This is also the only rodent in the natural world that bears this strange characteristic. Because they cannot chew or crush food, they only eat earthworms. The long nose is the development to adapt to that way of feeding.

The Antarctic Peninsula, an area that extends about 1610 km from the cold continent's western flank, is one of the fastest warming places on Earth. Over the past 50 years, the temperature has risen by about 2 degrees Celsius. This is a very unusual, unprecedented increase in history.

Scientists have discovered the molecular component in the center of our galaxy, with the largest, dense and chaotic molecular clouds in the Milky Way. The experts suspect this is a supermassive black hole, about 4 million times the mass of the sun. This place concentrates a lot of gases, creating favorable conditions for star formation. To learn more, they used radio telescopes to build a detailed map of the Milky Way's central cloud temperature and density.

Cats are often considered to be unlucky. Aside from the notion that black cats are evil messengers, people also whispered rumors about the deaths of many babies due to the cat's breaths. However, experts recommend that we know that modern science has proven that babies who are healthy but can die suddenly without finding any cause are called syndromes. Sudden death in newborns.

In the morning of August 12, Dr. Alexander Kumar climbed on the roof of Concordia Research Station and saw a beautiful honey-colored sky in the east of Antarctica. These are the first rays of sunlight to appear in this area over the past three months.

After the Curiosity expedition ship successfully landed, it continuously sent the first images of Mars to Earth. In the picture is the 150 km wide Gale Crater hole located at the magnitude 5.4 and 137.9 degrees east longitude, taken with Mars Express's high resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), with a resolution of up to 100 meters per pixel. Colorful details form based on a digital model with three-dimensional image data.

On August 24 of 20 years ago, Hurricane Andrew hit the coast of Florida to inflict heavy human and human damage to the United States, even destroying weather-measuring tools. its power. Andrew brought with him winds of at least 285 km / h. The image above shows its terrible development starting from August 23, 1992 (right) to August 24 (middle) and August 25 (left).
