NYT : Dark, Perhaps Forever

I have been meaning to post this a few weeks but I didn't get a chance to do that until now.

The article has outlined some ideas about the expansion of our universe and how it has grappled with the gravitational force. The universe may have expanded rapidly after the big bang then slowed down due to dark matter and atoms filled up part of the universe. A period later, the dark energy could have influenced the universe's new rapid expansion. The article is worth reading. below, you will find the link that could get you fascinated!

Yahoo : Fossil of most primitive 4-legged creature found

Here's triumph news. A skull of most primitive four-legged creature was unearthed. This fossil is about 365-million-year-old and this appears to be related to tetrapod family. It's known as Ventastega. This species may have vanished while other tetrapods went to take over the land. With this discovery, it pushes evolutionary biologists closer to understand how fish evolved to tetrapods. For further reading, click on the link below.

NYT : NASA Spacecraft Appears to Have Landed on Mars

I was delighted to learn that the NASA spacecraft may have landed on Mars safely. We will find out later to see if the probe is in good shape and it may take some time to unfold things before the robotic arm starts to drill in the ice surface and collect some data.

It could help to shed some light about life and the red planet itself. I look forward to receiving some news on some analysis.

NYT : Older Brain Really May Be a Wiser Brain

Even though older adults could no longer remember names and telephone numbers, it doesn't necessarily mean that their brainpower is declining. According to findings, the brain takes time to store the data and search for the information. As matter of fact, the aging brain is more wiser. Sure, young people can readily access the information from brain relatively quickly but they are still in the learning process.

NYT : Supernova Remnant Is Young and Quick

The explosion of star occurred about 26,000 years ago and the light traveled to here about 150 years ago. The star resides about 26,000 light-year away from here in our own Milky Way galaxy. The supernova is so young and crispy as it's continuing the formation. The 3-D image above is spectacular!

NYT : Polar Bear Is Made a Protected Species

I'm pleased to learn that the polar bear will be placed under the protection of the Endangered Species Act. The blame goes to global warming and heavy hunting.

I wonder why it took them a long time to put the polar bear in this category? It's important for the world try to preserve endangered species and increase the regulation on hunting.

Even though this is a small step, the world need to act more to slow down the rise of global warming.

Yahoo : Earth Extinctions Blamed on Cosmic Speed Bump

Have you ever figured out what has caused the mass extinction that wiped out species like dinosaurs? A research suggested that cosmic impacts may be one of handful reasons.

As our galaxy passed through the galactic zone every 35 million to 40 million yeras, increasing the chances of comets showering at planets.

It's an interesting hypothesis. There is a reason for me to be skeptical. There has been no mass extinction for 65 million years and I want to see some more findings. I like some other theories.
