Insight: Path to hearth of Mars

02/05/2018

   Glossary:

 On May 5, the NASA mission will study the activity of the interior of Mars.  

Summary:

The mission of NASA to Mars Insight was made on May 5, and it will be the first to know what the center of Mars is like. InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport), measuring its heat and listening to the 'marsquakes', something similar to earthquakes on Earth. It will use the seismic waves of the 'marsquakes' to develop a map of the deep interior of the planet. Knowing how the creation of Mars was will help us to know how other rocky planets were created, including Earth.
Among the scientific instruments on board is TWINS, a Spanish environmental station that will monitor the environmental conditions in the landing zone continuously during the 2 years that the mission is believed to last.

Personal opinion:

In my opinion it is a mission that will make a change in the history of the earth for the simple reason that we can study much more thoroughly a planet that has always been very close to us (respectively) which we still do not know completely, besides that This mission apart from making us see how Mars is will help us to know more about our Earth.

Tutankamon don't hide more secrets 

07/05/2018

Glossary:

The researchers conclude, after three years of rumors, that there is no secret chamber behind the famous tomb of the boy king.

 

Summary:

After three years of rumors, wanting to know the secret of the tomb of Tutankhamun Finally, science has destroyed the dreams of many and has concluded that there are no secret chambers, neither in the tomb of the child king, nor in the zones in the Valley of the Kings. The Egyptian authorities admitted on Sunday the disappointment after which there is no secret. Researchers have ruled out that there is a secret chamber behind the wall of Tutankhamun's famous tomb and that, according to the theory, he could have accommodated the remains of Queen Nefertiti. Where previously Egyptian officials were very sure that if the mummy of the beautiful queen, which some believe was the mother of the child king, was behind the wall of the famous tomb more than 3,000 years old. The search began when the British archaeologist, Nicholas Reeves. In an article published by Reeves in 2015, 'Nefertiti's Burial', he argued that the tomb in which Tutankhamun was found had originally been designed for Queen Nefertiti, but that the remains of it could be further away from that chamber but inside the burial.

 

Personal opinion: 

I think that it is a very important notice because this rumour conmovate a lot of people, because it is a secret of 3.000 years, but a very bad information because a lot of people and me before this information think that it can be a secret camera.

They find the best preserved fragments of the asteroid world that killed the dinosaurs

→ Date: 11 MAY. 2018

→ Scientific field: GEOLOGY
→ Information source: http://www.elmundo.es/ciencia-y-salud/ciencia/2018/05/11/5af447ee22601df33c8b45cb.html

→ Glossary:
• Asteroid: An asteroid is a rocky, carbonaceous or metallic body smaller than a planet and larger than a meteoroid

→ Summary: Approximately 66 million years ago the impact of the Chicxulub asteroid in the Yucatan peninsula produced a chain reaction that ended up with 70% of the planet's species. This catastrophic event produced a global incandescent rock shower. Now a new discovery of these rocks on the Colombian island of Gorgonilla throws new data on its composition. There was a heat pulse of up to 80 degrees Celsius on average so many forests burned spontaneously. To this we must add the incandescent rock shower mentioned above. The earthquakes caused by the impact became 13 on the Richter scale, something almost unimaginable today.

→ Personal opinion: This finding is very important to know with better clarity what happened and you can collect data that will provide very important information for the investigation.
