Solar System: 10 Things to Know This Week...Halloween Edition!

This week, we’re getting into the Halloween spirit with 10 spooktacular things to let your imagination run wild. 

It’s not Halloween without our favorite scary characters, but what if they could stop bothering us Earthlings and go far, far away? We begin with where Dracula, Frankenstein, and other creepy creatures might choose to live if the galaxy were theirs to claim…

1. The dark (k)night.

The prince of darkness himself, Dracula, can finally seek sweet respite from the Sun. We think he’d love to live on a rocky planet named YZ Ceti d that orbits so close to its red star that it’s tidally locked keeping one side of the planet in perpetual nighttime and the other side in perpetual daytime, with a brilliant red sky (though we can guess which side Dracula will prefer). 

2. Where art thou, werewolves? 

Home sweet home for our furry Full Moon friends might just be on Trappist-1, a planetary system with seven planets—and where standing on one planet would mean the other planets look like six moons (some as big as our Moon in the sky). 

3. Left in the dust. 

We couldn’t think of anyone better to live on Proxima b than The Mummy. Hopefully this ancient monster can finally rest in peace on an exoplanet that scientists theorize is a desert planet once home to ancient oceans. 

4. Cloudy with a chance of Frankenstein.

One scientific experiment we’d like to conduct: whether Frankenstein would rather live on HAT-P-11b or Kepler-3b, theorized to have fierce thunderstorms and lightning. 

5. The walking dead. 

We’re pretty confident that if zombies were to pick a planet, they’d want one that shares their love of death and destruction. We think they’d feel right at home on one of the pulsar planets, which are scorched by radiation because they orbit a dead star. 

6. Rest your weary bones. 

Skeletons need look no further: Osiris, an exoplanet that’s so close to a star that it’s “losing its flesh” as the star destroys it, seems like a perfect match. 

7. Enough of the scary stuff. 

For kids out there, turn pumpkin decorating into an out-of-this-world activity with space-themed stencils, from Saturn to the Sun. 

8. Spooky sounds. 

Cassini’s radio emissions from Saturn could give creaky doors and howling winds a run for their money. Listen to the eerie audio recordings here and find more HERE.

9. Pumpkin-carve like a NASA engineer. 

NASA engineers design and build robots that can fly millions of miles to study other planets for a living—so on Halloween, they can’t help but bring that creative thinking to the grand old tradition of pumpkin carving. Take a cue from their creations with these insider tips.

10. Detective for a day. 

From blades of ice on Pluto to a fuzzy, white “bunny” photographed on Mars, become a solar system sleuth and see if you can solve the stellar mysteries in this slideshow (then compare with how scientists cracked the case).

Nau

Mata

Ternyata aku masih menjadi pemuda kebanyakan. Pendirian yang masih terombang-ambing. Ingin ini dan itu yang jelas berkebalikan. Salahkan mata. Mencintai keindahan yang salah. Semoga hati ini entah dengan pelan atau langsung mencerabut mampu membawa kembali dengan tap tap tap tatapan yang benar.

Aku sering membaca kata bijak, cerita menyedihkan dan motivasi setinggi langit. Tapi tak ada yang berubah. Ada, saat itu. Menangis minimal. Tapi setelah itu, lagi-lagi pecundang. Huh! Ada apa dengan ‘tidak ada perubahan’?

Tuhan, mohon mampukanlah aku mengalahkan rasa malas ini. Jadikanlah aku anak muda yang sehat, aktif, ceria, rajin belajar, dan berani mencoba hal-hal yang besar. Mohon jadikanlah aku anak yang membanggakan dan membahagiakan Ibu dan Ayahku. Aamiin ———————- Mario Teguh - Loving you all as always

Bunuhlah setiap waktu kosong dengan ‘pisau’ kesibukan! Dengan cara itu, dokter - dokter dunia akan berani menjamin bahwa Anda telah mencapai 50% dari kebahagiaan. Lihatlah para petani, nelayan, dan para kuli bangunan! Mereka dengan ceria mendendangkan lagu - lagu seperti burung - burung di alam bebas. Mereka tidak seperti Anda yang tidur diatas ranjang empuk, tetapi selalu gelisah dan menyeka air mata kesedihan

They were indeed happy.

Middle August so rainy

What’s Up for August 2016

What’s up for August? How to spot Mercury, Venus,  Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, as well as the and the annual Perseid meteor shower. 

Here are some highlights in this month’s nighttime skies as picked by astronomer Jane Houston Jones from our Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Spot Venus, Mercury and Jupiter and the moon low on the western horizon about 45 minutes after sunset from August 4 through 7. On August 11, look in the south-southwest sky for a second planetary dance as Mars and Saturn are high and easy to see and they are joined by the moon.

The famous and reliably active Perseid meteor shower peaks in the morning hours of August 12. The moon, which paired up so nicely with Mars and Saturn on the 11, is bright enough to blot out some of the meteors, but lucky for you it sets about 1 a.m. on the morning of the 12, just at the peak time for the best Perseid viewing.

But wait, there are more planets, dwarf planets and an asteroid visible this month! Uranus and Neptune and dwarf planet Ceres are visible before dawn in the southern sky. Uranus is visible through binoculars but Neptune and Ceres require a telescope.

Ketika terpikir bahwa selama ini catatan hanya selalu menjadi catatan, yang pada akhirnya seringkali terlupakan. Maka, apa pun kini bentuknya, catatan adalah penyimpanan memori bahwa nyawa pernah melekat.

Sifat yang Bermasalah

Dapat tamparan habis baca sebuah quotes dari Bapak Stephen Hawking -_- "People won’t have time for you if you are always angry or complaining". Aku yang selalu bermasalah sama diri aku sendiri dengan kebiasaan yang suka marah-marah ngga jelas. Aku yang selalu bermasalah dengan orang disekitarku dengan sifatku. Selalu merasa ngga punya perasaan yang berkualitas sampai pikiran ngga jelas sering gentayangan. Susah ya kalau diri sendiri aja ngga bisa dipercayai. Aku yang selalu takut jadi diri sendiri. Aku yang selalu terbawa emosi. Aku yang tak mau begini terus. Aku yang ingin berubah. Aku yang tak bergerak. Aku yang harus berealisasi! Aku yang semoga selalu dalam semogaku.

Segar :D
