A newly discovered planet proved to be the biggest known planet outside of the Solar System. The new planet is located in the Hercules constellation and it was a surprise even for the astronomers. “We continue to be surprised by how relatively large these giant planets can be,” says Francis O’Donovan.

The planet is about 70 % larger than Jupiter, which is the largest planet in our Solar System, and has a smaller mass meaning that it has a very low density.

The new biggest one has a density of 0.2 grams per cubic centimeter which means, at least in theory, that it could float on water.

The dimensions of this planet can be hardly explained by the actual theories on superheated giants and it’s a theoretical problem for the scientists to explain its existence because it is so large, compared to its mass. But explaining the existence of these huge planets in their rough environments can clarify the formation of our Solar system and its planets.

The new planet was discovered by astronomers searching for transiting planets. A transiting planet is a planet which passes directly between the Earth and the star obstructing a part of the star’s light and slightly reducing its brightness. “TrES-4 blocks off about 1% of the light of the star as it passes in front of it,” said Dr Mandushev. “With our telescopes and observing techniques, we can measure this tiny drop in the star’s brightness and deduce the presence of a planet there.”

The newly discovered planet, called TrES-4 makes a complete revolution around its star every 3.55 days. In short, a year on the planet TrES-4 is shorter than a week on Earth.

But not only the newly discovered planet is extremely fascinating for scientists; its star is also very interesting to study. As Georgi Mandushev explains: “The host star of TrES-4 appears to be about the same age as our Sun, but because it is more massive, it has evolved much faster. It has become what astronomers call a ’subgiant’, or a star that has exhausted all of its hydrogen fuel in the core and is on its way of becoming a ‘red giant’, a huge, cool red star like Arcturus or Aldebaran.”

During the 3GSM conference, every mobile phone manufacturer out there has launched cellphone after cellphone. Most of them got a lot of attention (this is the case of the Nokia E90 Communicatior, HTC’s Vox and Love handhelds, etc.) but there were others that are still to be discovered.

Probably the avalanche of handset releases we experienced in such a short time was the main reason a hand full of them never got under the media spotlight. The same fact may be the one thing that got all the technology related blogs and websites on the Internet to enter into a state of trance and accidentally skip out in their listings a few, or even more, of the devices launched at the 3GSM fair.

One of the phones deserving to get a closer look is the N2 from Neonode, an extremely small cellphone and one with a lot more qualities than you would think of at a first glance.

Besides being the smallest phone launched at 3GSM, the N2 is also a device that will surely end up on the wish list of many mobile phone loving people due to its spec sheet.

 This quad-band GSM/GPRS midget sized phone works on 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz networks and features a 2 inch 65k colors LCD display with a resolution of only 176×220 pixels (which in my opinion can be considered a serious drawback in the eyes of the potential buyers), wireless Bluetooth connectivity with Headset, Obex and FTP profiles support, Neonode WRR software to record music from Internet radio channels, a miniSD memory expansion card slot, a music player with MP3, WMA and WAV compatibility and a 2 megapixel digital camera capable of recording video clips using the MPEG4 format.

If you thought this is only a toy, it turns out you were wrong, to say the least, because this Lilliputian mobile communication device can fulfill every task you can think of in a snap.

If you want to connect it to your personal computer to transfer some files or update all the information available on the handset, you can use the USB cable which comes with the phone. When the phone is turned off, it will appear on your PC as a removable disk and the handset acts like a mass storage device.

 The N2 uses an open platform so you can have access to the software and the features you want. Even better, if you are a skilled programmer and feel the software that comes with the device doesn’t quite suit your necessities, you can develop your own to get complete gratification using your newly bought mobile phone.

Also, in the Neonode Friends Zone, on the manufacturer’s website, free of charge updates are regularly released so you can upgrade your N2 and, even more, find out information on how you can develop your own software for its open platform.

The interface available on Neonode’s N2 cellphone is named Neno and, in some people’s opinion, it is a little tough to use. Well, it probably is at first but after using it a little, you will find out that it can make this phone a very easy to use device.

To access the main menu, you just have to sweep your finger up from the bottom left of the display, a sweep up from the middle of the start page will let you access the integrated keypad and by sweeping up from the bottom right side, you open a menu which gives you access to the tools bar.

Conclusion? A nice looking cellphone running on an open platform, with enough features on the spec sheet to satisfy even the most pretentious mobile user and the smallest handset at 3GSM (it measures 77×47x14.7 mm and weighs 70 grams).

Those things aren’t something to find in your average cellphone, don’t you think?

Tim Burton’s given us some pretty grisly sights—Sweeney Todd’s throat slittings, Danny DeVito as the Penguin, even Marky Mark kissing a monkey chick (honorable mention on this list)—but it was the wet one that the Now-Headed Horseman plants on Lady Van Tassel at the end of this adaptation of Washington “I also wrote Rip Van Winkle, bitches” Irving’s story that earns top honors. First, there’s Walken’s teeth—black, sickly and corroded like any reputable dead dude’s should be. Second, in the midst of smooching his newfound love, he makes the lady’s mouth bleed. Yeah, ew. Last, when she pulls away, her mouth is a bloody, shredded mess! She was an evil bitch and all that, but sheesh, guys. Now I need to clear my head and watch Frankenweenie.

Aside from our planet earth that has support all living things, some scientists and astronomers that they found another planet that gives life possible.

1. habitable planet
Gliese 581 C marked a milestone in the search for worlds beyond our solar system. It is the smallest exoplanet ever detected, and the first to lie within the habitable zone of its parent star, thus raising the possibility that its surface could sustain liquid water, or even life. It is 50 percent bigger and 5 times more massive than Earth.

2.  sniffed atmosphere
HD 189733b was among the first planets to have its air”sniffed”. By analyzing light from the star-planet system, astronomers determined the planet’s atmosphere contains thick clouds of silicates similar to grains of sand. Curiously, no water vapor was detected, but scientists suspect it is hidden beneath the clouds.

Recently, I am searching some collaborative songs in the net and one thing came in to my mind: should I search the longest song in the net?

Well there is a longest song, created by Rednix, a Swedish band. Consisting the 52 words and 305 characters, (including spaces). This how it goes:

“The Sad But True Story Of Ray Mingus, The Lumberjack Of Bulk Rock City, And His Never Slacking Stribe In Exploiting The So Far Undiscovered Areas Of The Intention To Bodily Intercourse From The Opposite Species Of His Kind, During Intake Of All The Mental Condition That Could Be Derived From Fermentation “

Lyrics:
It’s been a pretty long time, baby
But now, I’m back in town
It’s time to leave your husband
Now you know that little clown

Last time we were seeing
Didn’t you beg for more
It’s OK with me as long
As you do it four on the floor

This is what I’m giving you, you’ll get it all tonight
You will be my lover, but not my tender wife
I’ll be harder than your husband, I’ll be harder than your man
I’ll hit you with my twenty inch until you can not stand
I’ll be harder than your husband, I’ll be harder than your man
I’ll hit you with my twenty inch until you can not stand

I’ve missed the little North Pole
On the bottom of my twister
Here’s the one-eyed-worm
Now you’ll never be a sister

Well, it’s time to leave now
You better walk her home
Don’t forget you underwear
You look pretty stoned

This is what I’m giving you, you’ll get it all tonight
You will be my lover, but not my tender wife
I’ll be harder than your husband, I’ll be harder than your man
I’ll hit you with my twenty inch until you can not stand

I’ll be harder than your husband, I’ll be harder than your man
I’ll hit you with my twenty inch until you can not stand
I’ll be harder than your husband, I’ll be harder than your man
I’ll be harder than your husband, I’ll be harder than your man

Tobacco Mosaic Virus, Dahlemense Strain.
This word has appeared in the American Chemical Society’s Chemical Abstracts and is thus considered by some to be the longest real word.

Filipinos are very proud of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao. Many suggested that there must be a bill created after him. And I think, this is the bill.

Today is an equinox, a date when day and night are equal. Tomorrow, and every day until the next equinox, the night will be longer than the day in Earth’s northern hemisphere, and the day will be longer than the night in Earth’s southern hemisphere. An equinox occurs midway between the two solstices, when the days and nights are the least equal. The picture is a composite of hourly images taken of the Sun above Bursa, Turkey on key days from solstice to equinox to solstice. The bottom Sun band was taken during the winter solstice in 2007 December, when the Sun could not rise very high in the sky nor stay above the horizon very long. This lack of Sun caused winter. The top Sun band was taken during the summer solstice in 2008 June, when the Sun rose highest in the sky and stayed above the horizon for more than 12 hours. This abundance of Sun caused summer. The middle band was taken during the Vernal Equinox in 2008 March, but it is the same sun band that Earthlings will see today, the day of the Autumnal Equinox.

Compact and round, NGC 7008 is recognized as a planetary nebula about 2,800 light-years distant in the nebula rich constellation of Cygnus. This impressive telescopic view shows off NGC 7008’s remarkable colors and details by the skillful combination of broad band and narrow band images from two different telescopes with about 12 hours of total exposure time. The intriguing assortment of features within the nebula’s approximately 1 light-year diameter suggest its popular name, the Fetus Nebula, but planetary nebulae are not associated with star birth. Instead, nebulae like NGC 7008 are produced during a brief phase that sun-like stars pass through toward the end of their lives. Ejecting their outer layers, the stars cool to eventually become white dwarf stars, like the star seen near the center of NGC 7008. This colorful image also includes an unrelated but still lovely gold and blue binary star system just below NGC 7008.
