Texto - A aguia voa mais alto! - Bayern 1 - Benfica (2 penalties+arbitragem caseira)

Parabéns Rui Vitoria; é de facto um Senhor e grande treinador.

Parabéns Benfica!!!

Bayern 1 - B

enfica (2 penaltis claros não assinalados + arbitragem mais que caseira em muitos lances = a quê? = Orgulho!

Decedidamente acho que o mundo corrupto não poupa o desporto!

Tinha duvidas?!

Neste jogo em Munique vimos de tudo; e até mais algumas coisas... Vimos um arbitro que deve pertencer à seita dos corruptos oriundos de Panama não assinalar dois penalties "limpos" para o Benfica!

Mas ja estamos habituados.

Antes do jogo ouvimos adeptos de equipas contrarias a dizer que o "Glorioso" ia sofrer pior derrota que os 6-1 de outra equipa.

Estavamos dispostos a ouvir tudo e mais alguma coisa; mas, simultaneamente, tinhamos ideia que o Benfica não iria fugir à sua gloriosa regra.

Assim é que o Benfica pôs o Bayern em sentido e, não fora o escândalo de 2 penalties flagrantes não assinalados, por um arbitro polaco, mas com certeza de origem germânica, teria saido com, no minimo um empate de Munique; a vitoria não seria descabida.

Como ja disse em relação ao recem-eleito Presidente da Republica, gosto também de Rui Vitoria.

Viva o Benfica!

Explanation: Why might you want to visit super-earth Cancri 55 e? Its extremely hot climate would be a deterrent, as mornings on this world might bring fresh lava flows. Discovered in 2004, the planet Cancri 55 e has twice the diameter of our Earth and about 10 times Earth's mass. The planet orbits its 40 light-year distant Sun-like star well inside the orbit of Mercury, so close that it is tidally locked, meaning that it always keeps the same face toward the object it orbits -- like our Moon does as it orbits the Earth. Astronomers have recently measured temperature changes on this exoplanet using infrared observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope. Given these observations, an artist created the featured video with educated guesses about what one revolution of Cancri 55 e might look like. Depicted are full phase, when the planet is fully illuminated, and new (dark) phase when it passes near the line of sight to Earth. The illustrated red bands on the Cancri 55 e indicate bands of lava that might flow on the planet. A recent density determination for 55 Cancri e show that this exoplanet is not made primarily of oxygen, as are the inner planets in our Solar System, but rather of carbon. Therefore, one reason to visit Cancri 55 e might be to study its core, because this planet's great internal pressure might be sufficient to make the carbon found there into one huge diamond.

Lucid Dreaming
Image Credit & Copyright: Arnar Kristjansson; Rollover Annotation: Judy Schmidt

Explanation: Is this the real world? Or is it just fantasy? The truth started with a dream -- a dream that the spectacular Seljarlandsfoss waterfall in southern Iceland could be photographed with a backdrop of an aurora-filled sky. Soon after a promising space weather report, the visionary astrophotographer and his partner sprang into action. After arriving, capturing an image of the background sky, complete with a cool green aurora, turned out to be the easy part. The hard part was capturing the waterfall itself, for one reason because mist kept fogging the lens! Easy come, easy go -- it took about 100 times where someone had to go back to the camera -- on a cold night and over slippery rocks -- to see how the last exposure turned out, wipe the lens, and reset the camera for the next try. Later, the best images of land and sky were digitally combined. Visible in the sky, even well behind the aurora, are numerous stars of the northern sky. The resulting title -- given by the astrophotographer -- was influenced by a dream-like quality of the resulting image, possibly combined with the knowledge that some things really mattered in this effort to make a dreamcome true.

Explanation: It's the bubble versus the cloud. NGC 7635, the Bubble Nebula, is being pushed out by the stellar wind of massive central star BD+602522. Next door, though, lives a giant molecular cloud, visible to the right. At this place in space, an irresistible force meets an immovable object in an interesting way. The cloud is able to contain the expansion of the bubble gas, but gets blasted by the hot radiation from the bubble's central star. The radiation heats up dense regions of the molecular cloud causing it to glow. The Bubble Nebula, featured here in scientifically mapped colors to bring up contrast, is about 10 light-years across and part of a much larger complex of stars and shells. TheBubble Nebula can be seen with a small telescope towards the constellation of the Queen of Aethiopia (Cassiopeia).
