discovered an exoplanet-rich water near

artist's rendition of exoplanet (c) David A. Aguilar, CfA.

The discovery of a planet located in close proximity to our solar system and whose characteristics are similar to that of our planet, was held at the world of astronomy.

The exoplanet, dubbed GJ 1214b, is located 40 light years away and orbits a red dwarf star. Rate would be rocky, with plenty of water, but astronomers still can not identify what state it is (may be liquid water or ice water).

far exoplanet is the only "Super-Earth-mass planets, which lie between Earth and Neptune, whose atmosphere has been confirmed and, thanks to its proximity, astronomers hope to one day to study.

According to the leader of the group of astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Massachusetts that made the discovery (David Charbonneau), the planet is in our neighborhood (in astronomical terms), so that is within what they call our cosmic neighborhood.

said

To put this in perspective, our television signals have already gone beyond the distance to this star

The size of the extrasolar planet would be three times that of Earth, being 6 , 5 times more massive. This makes it the second smallest planet discovered outside our solar system, located behind the exoplanet called CoRoT-7b and has 1.7 times the size of Earth and its mass is five times higher than ours.

The enthusiasm shown by astronomers at this discovery relates to the fact that every day is closer to the discovery of an exoplanet similar to ours and that is located in what scientists call the "habitable zone ".

not to be missed!: Avatar, James Cameron

H ay a saying that "much ado about nothing." While another that says "if there's smoke, there's fire brings." Avatar, the latest film by James Cameron (who I remember from masterpieces like Piranha 2: Vampires of the Sea and other less recognized as Alien, Terminator and Titanic), has been surrounded by much publicity - when I say "many" really mean "is it possible that someone have not heard anything about it? ". Promoted as the film that will "reinvent the cinema", and stressing that Cameron has taken over 14 years to produce it, the expectations border on unaffordable. However, after having had the opportunity to see it in all its splendor in 3D, the film definitely has a lot of nuts, rocks, rivers and so much more than they can imagine (enlarged and Extra Bacon ™).

Do not worry, I promise not to forward any details of the plot.

After been the director of the highest grossing film in the history of film (more than U.S. $ 1,800 million worldwide), receive multiple Oscars, and repeat the famously DiCaprio in Titanic on Kodak Theatre stage, anything that would make Cameron tied to extraordinary expectations. So instead of returning to Hollywood and continue the same game as always, the new wealth gave him the independence to focus on developing a film that was stored in his head from the years when driving a truck and was not enough for benzene: Avatar . A film so ambitious, so extraordinary, so complex, so original, which did not exist the technology to do it.

"The 14 years it took to produce it? That's the amount of years that had to wait until the technology was able to play your dream. His vision required the film to be fully immersive 3D (and not those red and blue glasses), it had to happen in a world so unreal that it would be necessary to specify the highest level to make it believable (to the level it spent several years writing the Pandorapedia , working with linguists, biologists and botanists), and for this reason would need to be almost entirely generated by computer with a realism never before achieved (now would not only a character like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings would be a whole planet). Was it worth the effort? By far.

first began to re-invent the movie camera. This should be to capture stereoscopic images as close to as the human eye, but there were no cameras, much less the movie to be projected. So I asked Sony to make a camera did not exist. Convinced some friends to film movies in 3D and did the same with some documentaries. Then it was necessary to reinvent the cinema. In 2005 Cameron was traveling personally industry events trying to convince cinema projectors installed to able to play these early films. Later that year, only 79 cinemas in the world had the technology. Today there are over 5,000 theaters in the world capable of projecting 3D - not only that, the 3D technology has ended up being the lifeline of the movie at a time that people feel more comfortable and cheaper to download the movie and watch it at home .

With the movie camera and reinvented, technology was finally to make his film. Also the processing power of computers had reached a level sufficient to realistically reproduce the planet of Pandora, which happens all the history of Avatar. But there was one detail, as anyone who has seen Beowulf can see, the actions of characters created by computer is far from being credible. How can Cameron correctly direct the actions of a character dressed in a black lycra dress in a green room? It was necessary to re-invent something that did not exist: The Virtual House. Taking the information obtained from the captors motion (or "performance capture" in this case), it is processed in real time on a farm of computers that gives Cameron - directly on the set - a preview of how it would be the final image (with textures, lights , backgrounds, shapes, everything). If Cameron moves the virtual camera screen, this works like a traditional camera, reinterpreting the image from the viewpoint of the camera pointing. Augmented reality, but true.

"reinvented the cinema? Enough. The film is a riot of colors, shapes and sensations that will leave you with an overdose of dopamine. If most movies that try to reproduce reality you're left with the feeling that "we're getting closer," Avatar is a film that shows an extraordinary fact that the real world almost seems to be two-dimensional.

If anything the movie is immersive? Totally, so I can not recommend should be seen in 3D.

For the government of Valencia (Spain) netbooks leave you blind, "and I thought it was something else .. .

Valencia, the English region that will be remembered for refusing to netbooks because they are "dangerous." According to Alejandro Font de Mora, Minister for Education of the Generalitat Valenciana these can cause "myopia" and are "harmful to the eye" by the small size of the screen.

In fact the Minister has backed his "statements" with a report from the Mediterranean Ophthalmological Foundation, which supports the alleged problems caused by a small screen.

But: small screen is not to text necessarily reduced. All operating systems (for years) can increase the font size. The netbook that the English government wants to distribute among students through the School Plan Program 2.0 has 10-inch screen and costs 250 €.
