David McConville on perspective, ecosystems, and climate change as a symptom

Green TV

David McConville of Elumenati shared insights with us at West Coast Green, 2009 about addressing human problems from a different level. David's work, which largely revolves around using immersive displays to explain complex concepts from molecular biology to galactic ecosystems, has given him insight into how perspective plays into the decisions we make as a species.

Water Molecules Found on Surface of the Moon

Water Molecules Found on Surface of the Moon

WASHINGTON, DC, September 28, 2009 (ENS) - A thin layer of surface dew appears to form on the surface of the Moon then dissipate each day, new data from spacecraft reveal.

Data from the Deep Impact spacecraft and also from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper, M3, an instrument aboard India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, provide for the first time, clear evidence that water exists on the surface of the Moon, according to scientists with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, the Indian Space Research Organizaion and University of Maryland.

Refurbished Hubble Space Telescope Transmits Spectacular Images

WASHINGTON, DC, September 10, 2009 (ENS) - Astronomers Wednesday declared NASA's Hubble Space Telescope a fully rejuvenated observatory as the space agency released observations from four of its six operating science instruments.

Scientists today released images that slice across billions of light-years to probe the cosmic-web structure of the universe and map the distribution of elements that are fundamental to life. The images look back to times when the universe was millions of light-years younger than it is today.

NASA Launches Lunar Orbiter Ahead of New Human Moon Mission

GREENBELT, Maryland, June 19, 2009 (ENS) - NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter launched at 5:32 pm EDT Thursday aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The satellite will relay more information about the lunar environment than any previous mission to the moon.

NASA will use the data the orbiter collects to design the vehicles and systems for returning humans to the moon and begin establishing a lunar outpost by 2020.

Researchers Create RNA, Discover Possible Conditions Behind Formation of Life on Earth

Researchers Create RNA, Discover Possible Conditions Behind Formation of Life on Earth

Dr. John Sutherland of the University of Manchester has managed to create the building-blocks of life from basic chemicals. This feat may be the building block in organic chemistry that explains how life formed on earth millions of years ago.
Manchester University

Dr. John Sutherland at the University of Manchester has successfully created RNA from mixing a phosphate with the raw materials that create simple sugars and other primitive chemicals. This work could answer the age old question about the origin of life on Earth, and be one the largest strides in understanding the conditions required to create life.

NASA Discovers Increased Radiation on Earth after Magnetic Field Reversal

NASA Discovers Increased Radiation on Earth after Magnetic Field Reversal

Green TV

In a recent mission, NASA satellites have discovered that when the Earth's magnetic field is out of phase with the Sun's, a sizable increase of solar wind radiation is allowed to enter our atmosphere. This news is of great interest to the general public, as the upcoming magnetic reversal has been portrayed as a natural disaster of an extreme magnitude, most popularly in Clive Cussler's 2006 novel Polar Shift. In the book, eco-terrorists attempt to violently alter the Earth's rotation in an attempt to destroy industrialized nations, killing millions in a celestial disaster.

Geomagnetic Reversal: What will happen?

Geomagnetic Reversal: What will happen?

Heralded by some as the end of the world, a geomagnetic reversal would cause havoc with electronics and carry unknown health risks. We explore what little firm science exists regarding this phenomenon, and also the uncertain theories and wild guesswork generated from this celestial event.
Heralded by some as the end of the world, a geomagnetic reversal would cause havoc with electronics and carry unknown health ris

Little is understood of geomagnetic reversal, a geological anomaly that rapidly exchanges north and south polarities in Earth's magnetic field. The term has been bantered about as a doomsday scenario in which few would survive. Often lumped in with other scientific oddities and works of fiction, it is important to understand the accepted truths of this phenomenon, and also to be mindful of the concepts still in the realm of theory, lest we be caught unprepared.
