Allah menjanjikan kalau mati syahid dihadiahkan 72 bidadari. Bukankah begitu?

Atau kesepian? Di Swedia kurang banyak bidadari yang representative ya? Rupanya nT kepingin lihat bidadari ya beneran?

For astronomers, eleven years of observation is considered a short time and 20 light years, which is roughly 117.5tn miles, rather close. The sun is around eight and a half light minutes from Earth. "The fact that we were able to detect this planet so quickly and so nearby tells us that planets like this must be really common," said Vogt. > > > The planet is tidally locked to its star, meaning that one side is always facing the star and basking in perpetual daylight, and the other is in perpetual darkness because it faces away from the star. With surface temperatures decreasing the further one goes toward the dark side of the planet and increasing as one goes into the light side, the most habitable part of the new planet would be the line between darkness and light, which is known as the "terminator". > > The researchers estimate that the average surface temperature of the planet would be between -24 and 10F (-31 to -12C). But actual temperatures would range from "blazing hot on the side facing the star to freezing cold on the dark side," they said.The findings, which will be published in the Astrophysical Journal and posted online at arXiv.org, "offer a very compelling case for a potentially habitable planet," said Vogt. > > "Any emerging life forms on the new planet would have a wide range of stable climates to choose from and to evolve around, depending on their longitude," Vogt said. In their report, the scientists in fact announce the discovery of two new planets around Gliese 581, bringing the total number of known planets around this star to six. > > That is the most yet discovered in a planetary system other than Earth's solar system. Like planet's in Earth's solar system, the planets around Gliese 581 have nearly circular orbits. Two previously detected planets around Gliese lie at the edges of the habitable zone, one on the hot side and one on the cold side of the star, and are probably not habitable.The newly discovered planet g, however, lies right in the middle of the habitable zone. "We had planets on both sides of the habitable zone - one too hot and one too cold - and now we have one in the middle that's just right," Vogt said, recalling the porridge that Goldilocks found in the children's story The Three Bears. > > > Back to Article Homepage > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: [email protected] Subscribe : [email protected] Unsubscribe : [email protected] List owner : [email protected] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
