Las 10 razas de perros más raras del mundo - 6) Terrier Bedlington

6) Terrier Bedlington

Par

Parece una ovejita, con una importante acumulación de pelo en las patas, en las puntas de las orejas y en la cabeza. Esta raza fue criada en el siglo XIX en Bedlington, Inglaterra. Era usada por los mineros de la zona como cazadores de ratas.

Kepler Orrery IV

Explanation: The exoplanet hunting Kepler mission's total for candidate and confirmed multiple planet systems stands at 1,705 worlds in orbit around 685 distant stars. Put all of those exoplanet orbits on the same scale and follow their relative orbital motions to get Kepler Orrery IV. To make the planets visible, their sizes aren't shown to scale. But orbits of the planets in the Solar System (dashed lines) are included to scale in the hypnotic video. Of course, Kepler uses planetary transits to detect exoplanets, looking for a slight dimming of light as the planet crosses in front of its star. In the time compressed video, Kepler's multiplanet system orbits are all oriented to put observed transits at the three o'clock position. The dervish-like movements highlight a stark contrast between most Kepler-discovered exoplanetary systems and our own. Planning an interstellar vacation? Be sure to check the scale at the upper left first. The color code indicates a planet's estimated equilibrium surface temperature based on its orbit size and parent star.

Texto - Alis, Alas e Ben Zémas

O sheik Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah, o grão-mufti da Arábia Saudita, filho de Maomé, avô do mufti menor, tio do Mohamed Bat’Uma Ali, gémeo do Allah Merdah, sobrinho, por seu turno do Califa Ben Zémah, bastardo de Allah Mazakabouss, acaba de proclamar que as igrejas cristãs devem todas ser destruídas no Santo Pais dos Ulemahs.

Eu que sou agnóstico, recebo esta noticia com desprezo e assobio para o lado.

Acabem com todos os sítios dedicados à "fezada" que eu estou-me nas tintas!

Obviamente que o corolário será de acabar também com as mesquitas nas nossas infiéis regiões até ao dia em que crentes muçulmanos aceitem comportar-se como seres humanos; adoptarem a vestimenta ocidental, não exigirem privilégios tais como a comida “hallal”, deixarem de humilhar as mulheres.

Não sejam pobres e mal-agradecidos em países que não são seus…

Deverão começar a comer carne de porco…Não isso não, seria uma ofensa a Allah!... Não poderão mais ingerir bebidas alccolicas… Não, isso não, até porque não estah escrito no Corão as marcas de whisky proibidas…

Enfim, deverão passar de bestas a homens para poderem viver como tal no nosso Pais.

“Oxalá” assim possa ser.

Astronomy picture of the day - 2015 December 4 - Cygnus: Bubble and Crescent

Cygnus: Bubble and Crescent

Explanation: These clouds of gas and dust drift through rich star fields along the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy toward the high flying constellation Cygnus. Caught within the telescopic field of view are the Soap Bubble (lower left) and the Crescent Nebula (upper right). Both were formed at a final phase in the life of a star. Also known as NGC 6888, the Crescent was shaped as its bright, central massive Wolf-Rayet star, WR 136, shed its outer envelope in a strong stellar wind. Burning through fuel at a prodigious rate, WR 136 is near the end of a short life that should finish in a spectacular supernova explosion. recently discovered Soap Bubble Nebula is likely a planetary nebula, the final shroud of a lower mass, long-lived, sun-like star destined to become a slowly cooling white dwarf. While both are some 5,000 light-years or so distant, the larger Crescent Nebula is around 25 light-years across.

Astronomy picture of the day - 2015 December 3 - Enceladus: Ringside Water World

Explanation: Saturn's icy moon Enceladus poses above the gas giant's icy rings in this Cassini spacecraft image. The dramatic scene was captured on July 29, while Cassini cruised just below the ring plane, its cameras looking back in a nearly sunward direction about 1 million kilometers from the moon's bright crescent. At 500 kilometers in diameter, Enceladus is a surprisingly active moon though, its remarkable south polar geysers are visible venting beyond a dark southern limb. In fact, data collected during Cassini's flybys and years of images have recently revealed the presence of a global ocean of liquid water beneath this moon's icy crust. Demonstrating the tantalizing liquid layer's global extent, the careful analysis indicates surface and core are not rigidly connected, with Enceladus rocking slightly back and forth in its orbit.
