Ha malucos para tudo. Os cinco amigos e fundadores da Associação de Meteorologia Amadora, Troposfera têm uma atração por tempestades e correm atrás delas, em vez de fugirem delas. No ano passado, juntaram 15 mil euros e gastaram três semanas de férias no centro dos Estados Unidos, à caça de tornados.

Explanation: Want to take a relaxing interstellar vacation? Consider visiting Kepler-16b, a world in a binary star system. In fact Kepler-16b is the first discovered circumbinary planet. It was detected in a wide 229 day orbit around a close pair of cool, low-mass stars some 200 light-years away. The parent stars eclipse one another in their orbits, observed as a dimming of starlight. But Kepler-16b itself was discovered by following the additional very slight dimming produced during its transits. Like sci-fi planet Tatooine of Star Wars fame, two suns would set over its horizon. Still, Kepler 16b is probably not a Tatooine-like terrestrial desert world. Instead, Kepler 16b is thought to be a cold, uninhabitable planet with about the mass of Saturn and a gaseous surface ... so plan to dress accordingly. Or, choose another Visions of the Future vacation destination.

Sp. Braga está a um pequeno passo dos oitavos-de-final. Parabéns "Guerreiros do Minho"!
O Sp. Braga tornou-se esta quinta-feira na única equipa portuguesa a poder reservar (com relativa segurança) um lugar no sorteio dos oitavos-de-final da Liga Europa. Na Suíça, os “guerreiros” do Minho sofreram, mas conseguiram impor uma derrota, por 2-1, ao Sion, prosseguindo a sua boa campanha na segunda prova da UEFA.

Astronomy picture of the day - 2016 February 19 - NGC 2403 in Camelopardalis
Image Credit & Copyright: Eric Coles and Mel Helm
Explanation: Magnificent island universe NGC 2403 stands within the boundaries of the long-necked constellation Camelopardalis. Some 10 million light-years distant and about 50,000 light-years across, the spiral galaxy also seems to have more than its fair share of giant star forming HII regions, marked by the telltale reddish glow of atomic hydrogen gas. The giant HII regions are energized by clusters of hot, massive stars that explode as bright supernovae at the end of their short and furious lives. A member of the M81 group of galaxies, NGC 2403 closely resembles another galaxy with an abundance of star forming regions that lies within our own local galaxy group, M33 the Triangulum Galaxy. Spiky in appearance, bright stars in this colorful galaxy portrait of NGC 2403 are in the foreground, within our own Milky Way.
