Me estaba preparando para escribir todo lo malo que la pase este año, cuanto sufrí, cuanto sentí impotencia, cuanto estuve al límite, cuanto sentí soledad al perder a un ser que siguió su camino, cuanto hice daño a personas que quería sin querer, pero la realidad es que solo vemos lo que más nos duele y no lo que existe detrás de ello. Lo que existe es crecimiento, porque el dolor hace parte del proceso. Así me di cuenta que en verdad fue un gran año, donde aprendí a valorar tantas cosas, donde aprendí a amar un poco más, y donde logre salir de una de las tantas burbujas en la que vivimos. Es verdad que también se pasaron momentos muy buenos en todo el sentido de la palabra, momentos que le hacen sentir a uno esperanza, tranquilidad aunque sea efímera. Sentir como el universo equilibra el camino sin que uno se dé cuenta. Sé que como este año que paso vendrán algunos similares, aún queda mucho camino, pero seguramente gracias a este año sabré como afrontarlos mejor. Quiero compartir esto por si alguien paso por un mal año también, uno nunca entiende como pasan las cosas, pero lo que si se debe entender es por qué y confiar en el camino que nos muestra la vida. Sin más quiero desearles un feliz año nuevo, familia, amigos, colegas, maestros. Seguramente este año seremos mejores que el anterior. Seguiré haciendo lo que más amo, espero que ustedes también y también espero poder compartírselos pronto.

67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko

67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (abbreviated as 67P or 67P/C-G) is a Jupiter-family comet, originally from the Kuiper belt, with a current orbital period of 6.45 years, a rotation period of approximately 12.4 hours and a maximum velocity of 135,000 km/h (38 km/s; 84,000 mph) Churyumov–Gerasimenko is approximately 4.3 by 4.1 km (2.7 by 2.5 mi) at its longest and widest dimensions. It was first observed on photographic plates in 1969 by Soviet astronomers Klim Ivanovych Churyumov and Svetlana Ivanovna Gerasimenko, after whom it is named. It came to perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) on 13 August 2015.

67P and the Rosetta Mission

Churyumov–Gerasimenko was the destination of the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission, launched on 2 March 2004. Rosetta rendezvoused with Churyumov–Gerasimenko on 6 August 2014 and entered orbit on 10 September 2014. Rosetta’s lander, Philae, landed on the comet’s surface on 12 November 2014, becoming the first spacecraft to land on a comet nucleus. On 30 September 2016, the Rosetta spacecraft ended its mission by landing on the comet in its Ma'at regio.

Today the Cassini mission has reached its end…

El eco

Me encanta leerte, y no soy un gran lector. Me encanta porque oigo tu voz en mi mente, y anhelo con que en alguno de tus escritos este yo. Me duele pensarte, me duele porque el tiempo pasa y nos hace olvidar, nos hace crecer. Preferiria ser tu tiempo para ayudarte a crecer, a caer, a sentir, a olvidar juntos… No escribo a menudo palabras, prefiero las cinco líneas de un pentagrama. Aunque algo tienen en común y es que siempre estás tu. He pensado en cambiar momentáneamente mis metas por metas que pueda cumplir a tu lado. Convencerte de aventurar juntos en lugares que nunca hayamos imaginado ir, pero se que eres paz, y ayudar es tu motor. Seguramente encontraré a alguien al igual que tu. Espero te enamores tanto que ya no reconozcas este amor. Espero sea así porque negarte amor, no sería amarte como lo pude haber hecho.

Cambiaremos en el camino, ya no seremos los mismos y quizá de esa forma nos volveremos a encontrar. Quizá de esa forma podremos amarnos como alguna vez lo pensamos hacer (como aun lo pienso) Te estaré esperando de eso no tengas dudas, seguiré esperando una señal que junte nuestros caminos.

No soy capaz de decírtelo, no quiero arruinar nada, pero me encantaría que lo leyeras.

Happy Martian New Year!

For any planet, a year is the time it takes to make one orbit around the sun. Because Mars is farther away from the sun, it has to travel a greater distance than Earth. It takes Mars about twice as long as it does for Earth to make one circle around the sun…therefore, a year on Mars lasts twice as long.

On May 5, Mars passes solar longitude 0 as the sun crosses the equator on Mars. This is the vernal equinox and was chosen by planetary scientists as the start of a new year.

Mars has four seasons, roughly twice as long as those on Earth, but with more variation given Mars’ eccentric orbit and the fact its orbital speed varies more as a result.

Did you know that there’s a U.S. city named Mars? Mars, PA hosts an annual Mars New Year celebration and we’re participating in this two-day science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) event to inspire young people to pursue innovation and exploration.

A Thousand Yards in Beijing

Architecture studio Penda has revealed plans to create a vast network of modular building blocks at the International Horticultural Expo 2019 in Beijing, forming a 30,000-square-metre exhibition space. Penda architects Chris Precht and Dayong Sun plan to build on their experience with modular construction to create the exhibition space for Chinese property developer Vanke.

Called Thousand Yards, the structure will have a plaza at its centre, feeding a number of wide and narrow pathways. These will lead through to areas including a greenhouse, a food court, teahouses, a vegetable garden and the exhibition galleries.

Farming Kindergarten Vo Trong Nghia Architects

The Kindergarten for 500 preschool children, situated next to a big shoe-factory, is a prototype of the sustainable education space in tropical climate. The building is designed for the children of factory workers within low-budget.

The concept of building is “Farming Kindergarten” with continuous green roof, providing food and agriculture experience to Vietnamese children, as well as safe outdoor playground.

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs)

Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are bursts of highly energetic gamma rays lasting from less than a second to several minutes – the blink of an eye on cosmological timescales. They are known to occur at huge distances from Earth, towards the limits of the observable Universe.

The VLT has observed the afterglow of a Gamma-Ray Burst that is the farthest known ever. With a measured redshift of 8.2, the light from this very remote astronomical source has taken more than 13 000 million years to reach us. It is thus seen when the Universe was less than 600 million years old, or less than five per cent its present age. It must have released 300 times as much energy in a few seconds as our Sun will in its entire lifetime of more than 10 000 million years. GRBs are therefore the most powerful explosions in the Universe since the Big Bang.

Researchers have tried to discover the nature of these explosions for a long time. Observations show that GRBs come in two types – short-duration (shorter than a few seconds), and long-duration – and it was suspected that two different kinds of cosmic event caused them.

In 2003, astronomers using ESO telescopes played a key role in linking long-duration GRBs with the ultimate explosions of massive stars, known as ‘hypernovae’. By following the aftermath of an explosion for a whole month, they showed that the light had similar properties to that from a supernova, caused when a massive star explodes at the end of its life.

In 2005, ESO telescopes detected, for the first time, the visible light following a short-duration burst. By tracking this light for three weeks, astronomers showed that the short-duration bursts – unlike the long-duration ones – could not be caused by a hypernova. Instead, it is thought that they are caused by the violent mergers of neutron stars or black holes.
