Meteorologists May 2014 was the hottest year on record – Neelov

 May 2014 - the Ms. rky in history
->

Recently Meteorological Institute Climate Observing U.S. published a report the average temperature for the last month. It turned out that May 2014 th was the hottest on record.

According to one of the leading staff of the center, the average temperature of the earth in May 0,74 degrees exceeded parameters, which are still considered a record. He also noted that the recorded temperature record gives every reason to believe that 2014 will eventually be recognized as the warmest ever recorded. Recall that the data on the average temperature began to collect more than a century ago.

Domestic experts, in turn, noted that in Russia the average temperature is rising much faster than other countries. This is especially noticeable in the northern regions. According to meteorologists, the end of this century, the average temperature in Arctic will increase by at least 7-9 degrees Celsius.

add at the end that the increase in average temperature in May has been observed 16 years. Such abrupt climate changes have led to what became the world’s most natural disasters occur.

Anthropologists: male skull evolved under the punches – BFM.Ru

Scientists have explained the differences in the skulls of men and women

American anthropologists from the University of Utah, supporters quite unpopular in the scientific theory of “aggressive evolution” published new arguments favor of that man developed through acts of violence. The study is published in the June issue of Biological Reviews, reports Phys.Org.

According to these scholars, men skull shape evolved from the time of Australopithecus to withstand impacts during fights. To prove their theory, they compared the device skull modern men living in Africa Australopithecus, as well as some species of hominids that lived 5.4 million years ago. According to them, most notably changed those bones that during the fight take the brunt of impact load – they become thicker and stronger. Thus, such changes were made only males but not females. This explains the differences in the structure of the skull of modern men and women.

However, scientists agree that the most likely in the scientific world, their theory will again be perceived cold and critical.

Earlier anthropologists were able to prove that the first Americans lived in Siberia .

Scientists: biofuels could be dangerous for the environment than gasoline – External Economic Relations

American scientists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, based on a computer model reproduced the results of the use of biofuels based on corn silage. As it turned out, the damage from these fuels is much greater than from the usual gasoline already as having a negative impact on the balance of carbon dioxide in nature. His research biologists published in Nature Climate Change.

During research activities, experts found that emissions from “environmentally friendly” biofuels 7% higher from gasoline. And it directly affect emissions to the greenhouse effect. At the same time removing the corn crop residues from the soil in large quantities leads to its erosion.

In UN biofuel production from corn in the U.S. is not welcome. Experts of the organization said that the use of culture for the production of ethanol affects the rise in grain prices worldwide, leads to drought, as well as a negative impact on the environment.

Scientists: biofuels nature inflicts greater damage than gasoline – BFM.Ru

It adversely affects the balance of carbon dioxide in nature

American scientists have found that biofuels based on corn silage inflicts more damage the environment than gasoline, according to журнал Nature Climate Change .

So, the researchers calculated that emissions from gasoline EcoFuel more 7%. We are talking about carbon dioxide emissions, which directly affects the greenhouse effect. In addition, as reported, removal of corn plant residues from the earth in large quantities leads to soil erosion.

Earlier American production of biofuels from corn пожаловались UN . Experts of the organization said that the use of corn for ethanol production boosts growth in world grain prices. In addition, such biofuels affects on the environment and leads to drought, they noticed.

“Antichrist” departed from Earth: this time the world will not end – Business

Asteroid HQ124 successfully passed the orbit of the earth at a distance of 1.25 million kilometers and disappeared in the vast space.

This time the end of the world escaped. In the case of asteroid collision, which unofficially nicknamed the “Antichrist”, with the land, the consequences could be catastrophic. For its size – 325 meters – a celestial body was 10 times more than a meteorite exploded in the skies over Chelyabinsk. In the case of entry into Earth’s atmosphere, he failed to burn completely, and fell to the ground. And then a lot depends on which area it falls. In uninhabited taiga as his “colleague” Tunguska meteorite or for example in densely populated south-east Asia.

In case of a fall in the world’s oceans, and the probability of this is very high, he could provoke a giant tsunami. Additional concern is the fact that scientists have discovered it too late – only in April. This means that we are not only protected from such “space aliens”, but not always we will have time to prepare for the meeting.

This time the danger had passed. What awaits us next?

In Novosibirsk, the cluster will be created for professional users GLONASS – BBC News

We were very large asteroid flies – InFuture.ru – Feel the future!

Near Earth sweeps huge asteroid eyed ground-based telescopes around the world. The newly discovered asteroid

safely fly past Earth on June 8 at a distance of 1.25 million kilometers, which is more than three times farther than our moon is from Earth.

Named 2014 HQ124 asteroid was discovered on April 23 2014 within the framework of a space mission NEOWISE (NASA). Space telescope WISE, adapted and intended for monitoring of celestial space for asteroids and comets, it became a pioneer. Telescope sees the sky in the infrared wavelength range. He captures the warmth of asteroids in infrared light and calculates their size. NEOWISE data indicate that the diameter of the asteroid HQ124 2014 is in the range between 250 and 400 meters. This is a fairly large space rock.

«Chance impact on the Earth during the passage of this asteroid zero” – said Don Eomens (Don Yeomans), Near Earth Object Program Manager (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena (California, USA ).

«Basically, asteroids tend to perform fly past Earth. Asteroids the size of 2014 HQ124 fly past Earth every few years ».

With more than 100 ground-based telescopes, funded by the U.S. space agency NASA, as well as by amateur astronomers were identified asteroids up to 2200 and found that they do not pose a serious danger to our planet. In addition, the trajectories of all known asteroids continue to re-adjusted in the course of further information during the observations.

Eomens also reported that the asteroid 2014 HQ124 is a great goal observation radar antenna in Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. This is one of the ground-based telescopes, which will monitor the asteroid rendezvous with our planet June 8, 2014. Radar measurements of distances and speeds asteroid often allow us to calculate more precise asteroid orbit, at what not only real, but also a lot of years.

Asteroid 2014 HQ124 considered “potentially hazardous asteroid” because it exceeds the size of 140 meters and is at a distance within 7.4 million kilometers from the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Currently known astronomers 1484 potentially hazardous asteroid, but at this stage, as in the near future, none of them is a significant threat to the Earth.


Schumacher died June 7, 2014? Doctors refute – My Area

Schumacher, the latest news on June 8, 2014 : Doctors Hospital in Grenoble, where the world-renowned driver «Formula 1″ after an accident on the slopes, denied rumors of his death. “Hospital denies reports that Michael Schumacher died” – quoted text of the official statement of the clinic “SovSport».

Reported death of the famous German racer had previously appeared in social networks and even on the page in the Russian “Wikipedia” . However, from the most popular online encyclopedia reference to death Schumacher at the moment is gone.

Michael Schumacher, the latest news on June 8, 2014 : the whole story with a mysterious and information misinformation about the fate of Schumacher, as is now clear, began on June 4, when the German Radio 7 reported that the driver allegedly suddenly transported from the Hospital in Grenoble clinic Kliniken-Schmieder in Allensbahe. German news agency later denied this, saying that Schumacher is still in Grenoble. Thus, no change in the fate and location of Schumacher yet.

Recall, 45-year-old former world champion in the “Formula 1″, was hospitalized Dec. 29, 2013. He hit his head on a rock while skiing. All this time Schumacher is a medical coma, he underwent two operations to lower blood pressure on the brain and remove blood clots. Recently manager Sabine Schumacher Who confirmed that doctors now gradually withdrawn from the German current vegetative state, reducing the dose of sedatives, but the awakening process can be time consuming.

Scientists: come and “Antichrist” – St. Petersburg and Peace

1332337889_meteorit2

Tomorrow will fly past Earth asteroid called “Antichrist”. It was opened by astronomers April 23, 2014. Scientists assigned space body classification title in 2014 HQ124.

worth noting astronomers assure that risk for earthlings currently no – asteroid will fly at a distance of 1.25 million kilometers from our planet.

However, if a celestial body will change the trajectory, the world faces a serious accident. Asteroid sizes up from 250 to 400 meters, wrote Spbimir.ru.

Antichrist Asteroid

Scientists said the approach of “Antichrist” to Earth for this Sunday – BFM.Ru

«Antichrist” 20 times more Chelyabinsk meteorite

Scientists have discovered a huge asteroid 2014 HQ124, known as the “Antichrist”, which is expected to approach the Earth this weekend, according to Space.com .

According to these data, the asteroid has a size of 325 meters, ie largest is about a football field. “Antichrist” will fly past Earth on Sunday at 22:30 Moscow time. Scientists report that the asteroid has no chance encounter with our planet, as flies at a distance equal to three distance from the Earth to the Moon (more than 1 million kilometers).

heavenly body was noticed by American scientists from NASA. Despite the fact that the size of the “Antichrist” is almost 20 times larger than the size of the Chelyabinsk meteorite find it was only on April 23. However, if the “Antichrist” and a danger to humanity, then, according to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, knock it would not work .

Which means “red” level of environmental risk? – Arguments and Facts

18:41 (today)

Елена Slobodyan

Today in Moscow because of the heat and air pollution declared red level environmental hazards. It is noted that on June 7 also predicted “red” danger level.



What are the levels of environmental hazards?

«Red” level of environmental hazard announced this year for the first time. The Moscow City Government has decided to introduce a system of levels of environmental hazard as a result of numerous complaints by residents after the heat wave in 2010.

Total identify three levels of environmental safety «yellow”, ” orange “,” red ».

first level alarming,” yellow », when heat lasts up to five days and a threat to health still small. Temperature from 21 to 22 ° C; concentration of suspended particles PM10 from 61 to 100 mg/m3; ozone concentration from 52 to 102 mg/m3;

second level – “Orange», it indicates that the heat came a long time and need some active actions. Temperature from 22 to 23,6 ° C; concentration of suspended particles PM10 from 100 to 140 mg/m3; ozone concentration from 102 to 151 mg/m3;

third level – high, “red» requires urgent action from health authorities, transport, social services. Temperature 23,6 ° C; concentration of suspended particles PM10 over 140 mg/m3; ozone concentration in excess of 151 mg/m3.

What should I do when declared “red” level?

If declared a third, “red” level of environmental safety, you should try to drink more often. You can drink water, juice, drinks with low sugar content.

Do not drink alcoholic beverages, fatty foods. Do not smoke, eat fruits and vegetables.

most sensitive to heat elderly, the disabled, pregnant women, young children, people with diseases of the cardiovascular system, urinary system, respiratory diseases, endocrine and metabolic disorders substances.

What is environmental safety?

Environmental Safety is one of the components of national security, which provides a set of natural, social, technical and other conditions for quality of life and safety of human life and activity.

06.06 | 01:22

Putin today discussed with scientists and experts the problem of developing the Arctic and Antarctic. At the meeting in St. Petersburg, Vladimir Putin stressed that Russia must carry out their plans for the extraction of hydrocarbons in the Arctic. Russian President expressed confidence that people need to live and work in the Arctic. This is a must. To tap into the region, taking into account all environmental and climate problems. At the meeting, the much talked about melting ice and climate change. When producing resources necessary to ensure the safety of the indigenous peoples of the area. Special attention should be paid to the flora and fauna of the land. Mastering should not harm all sentient beings at these latitudes.

Failure occurred in the Russian communications satellite “Yamal-201″ – RIA Novosti

MOSCOW, June 6 – RIA Novosti. Crash on Russian communications satellite” Yamal-201 “led to the temporary suspension of its work on Thursday afternoon, the website company “Gazprom – Space systems”, which belongs to the satellite.

“At 12.50 MSK failed on Yamal-201 satellite at 90 degrees East, which led to the shutdown of the transponder and the temporary cessation of communication networks and television using this satellite, “- said in a statement.

Staff Mission Control Center and RSC” Energia “, the manufacturer of the satellite, now restoring normal operation of the spacecraft. Part load “Yamal-201″ temporarily transferred to the satellite “Yamal-300K”, working in the same orbital position.

In late 2011, the satellite television also interrupted due to emergency situation. Later spacecraft was launched from an undirected flight (the so-called regime “spin”) and oriented along three axes. With the help of solar panels charge the batteries failed satellite, restart the software and eventually restore his regular job.

How did the moon – BBC

moon emerged from the so-called giant impact, which occurred 4.5 billion years ago and the other between Protoearth protoplanet about the size of Mars, scientists were finally convinced. Despite the fact that this hypothesis of the origin of the Moon has always been prevalent, still indisputable evidence in its favor has been submitted.

scientists presented his results in article published in the journal Science on Friday night Moscow time.

astronomer Vladimir Surdin talks about the popularization of science, the moon and the Soviet Doiarki

«Дояр asked: “And on the moon was our?»

О popular science lectures for milkmaids, prisoners and party leaders and the problems of popular science literature in Russia in an interview “to the Newspaper» …

Of the more than one hundred and fifty moons of the solar system, our moon is just as considered its special origin. Other natural satellites are either alien planetesimals either born simultaneously with the parent planet from one of the accretion disk. However, many features such as a low content of water and other volatiles on the moon, a very small kernel, it is similar to the angular momentum of the Earth and others, led scientists to suggest another scenario it occurs – the giant impact scenario.

The problem was that every planet in the solar system is inherent in his own unique isotopic composition, so that planetesimals, she was named Theia, it would be reasonable to assume isotopic composition different from the earth.

By many estimates, Theia gave the creation of the Moon from 70 to 90% of its weight. However, there are other versions, according to which Theia hit Earth too tangential, snatching her from a big chunk of weight and then having departed somewhere, and she gave to the moon is not more than 8% of its substance. The difficulty was in the fact that when they hit the Protoearth Theia could give her up to 50% of its isotopic signature, so finding the differences even more difficult.

On Earth satellite detected signs of recent geological activity

Луна tossed problems

Поверхность Moon not only shrink, but also stretched the last 50 million years, established selenologists of NASA, the satellite detected on Earth …

But anyway, still no isotopic differences in lunar and terrestrial soils were found.

Although seemingly have measured exactly five ppm.

new installation, created in Gettingentskom University, allowed the researchers to more accurately measure the isotopic composition of materials. Deciding to compare it to the lunar and terrestrial basalts, the scientists used the substance for the start of the lunar meteorites, but the difference with terrestrial materials have not found any – in their opinion, the celestial aliens from the moon, during his stay on this planet were pretty clogged local isotopes. Therefore, their next step was to study the lunar soil samples brought back to Earth by three expeditions mission “Apollo».

scientists focused their attention on the isotopes of oxygen.

Asymmetry of the Moon due to the ancient collision with another satellite of the Earth

Луной more than the moon

Отсутствие “Seas” and the abundance of mountains on the back side of the Moon may be the result of falling on it another satellite, consider …

As a result, in all three samples brought back from the moon, the oxygen-17 to 9-thousandths percent higher than that detected in the ground samples.

“This difference is too small, but it is, – says Daniel Hervardts, led the study. – And this leads us to two conclusions. First, we can say with certainty that the giant impact really happened. Second, it gives us the opportunity to say something about the geochemistry Theia. Next goal – to know how much material actually went to the moon from Theia ».

In 70-90% Hervardts believes. He believes that most likely, the Moon from the Earth and Theia inherited, as it should inherit from their parents, 50 to 50.

And finally, and the question remains, what had become of Theia after the collision, what happened to her, whether she died in subsequent conflicts, some fell on Jupiter or become part of us have long known planet.

Media: RSC “Energia” takes “Sea Launch” from the Pacific Ocean to the Crimea – RIA Novosti

 Platform for launching missiles in the Sea Launch program. Archive photo

MOSCOW, June 6 – RIA Novosti. head of the Russian Rocket and Space Corporation “Energia” Vitaly Lopota planned to relocate the floating cosmodrome “Sea Launch” from California to the shores of the Crimea, wrote in a Friday newspaper “Izvestia” , citing a source close to the leadership of RSC.

International Consortium “Sea Launch” was created in 1995, 95% of its shares are owned by Energia Overseas Limited, “granddaughter” RSC “Energia”. This is the first in the history of international commercial project space rocket complex ocean-based, it provides services for spacecraft launch from a floating platform, which is based off the coast of the Pacific, California. Most satellites into geostationary orbit from the equatorial zone of the Pacific Ocean.

According to the publication, in the Crimea Lopota also plans to create an infrastructure for maintenance of the complex. “On the part of Russian industry in the Crimea promised investments, which, according to Lopota, could be directed at creating a database service for” Sea Launch “- the newspaper said. According to experts Roscosmos, write” News “, to create the necessary infrastructure in the new port-based “Sea Launch” require $ 1 billion.

Lopota himself refused to publish comments on this topic, noting that officially it is not made out of such a proposal.

Relocate “Sea Launch” of California offer is not the first time: even in 2013, the leadership of Roscosmos (profile control and managing state property in the space industry) decided that the service platform in the United States limits its use in the interests of Russia, and put forward the idea to translate complex SovGavan or Vladivostok to Russian Far East Fleet bases – but the government did not support this initiative. in March to Russia entered Sevastopol (the base of the Russian Black Sea Fleet) and the Republic of Crimea.

At the end of May “Kommersant” wrote that Roscosmos had planned to check RSC “Energia” (38% owned by the state). As explained on Friday, “Izvestia”, citing the head of Roscosmos Oleg Ostapenko, this time to check the “Sea Launch” will not, as a commercial project, “Energy”, and verification seeks to assess the production capacity of the enterprise.

In April, Russia’s Investigative Committee – on the basis of previous test Roscosmos RSC “Energia” – filed a case against Lopota Abuse powers in granting loans to companies involved in the project “Sea Launch”, the investigators estimated the damage at 41 million rubles (1 $ 2 million).

How Crimea became part of Russia

Crimea did not recognize the legitimacy of the new Ukrainian government and decided to hold a referendum about the future of the region. Voting took place on March 16. The ballot paper were made two questions: “Are you for the reunion of the Crimea with Russia on the Rights of the Russian Federation?” and “Are you for the restoration of the constitution of the Republic of Crimea in 1992 and for the status of the Crimea as part of Ukraine?”.

Most voters (96.77%) with a turnout of 83.1% voted for reunification with Russia. The corresponding agreement was signed on March 18, he was subsequently endorsed Duma and the Federation Council. They also adopted the federal constitutional law on the formation of two new subjects of the Russian Federation – Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol city of federal significance. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed both documents. Putin has also previously stated that the referendum in the Crimea consistent with international law and the UN Charter.
