NASA's Flying saucer to Mars

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was making a 'flying saucer' for the future's robotic space travel, especially to Mars. The spacecraft that similar flying saucer is called Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator or LDSD.

LDSD have a speed of three times the speed of sound. The main function of this NASA-made flying saucer is to fly a rover like Curiosity, from the Earth to the red planet. LDSD designed specifically for sending robotic explorers whose size is greater than Curiosity rover.

This flying saucer is a spacecraft which has a parachute when it will land on Mars later. For now NASA is still doing a variety of development on the flying saucer. And the first test flight will be conducted in June 2014. But not only that month alone, LDSD will do a lot of experiments over the next 24 months.
So for some people who will probably see a flying saucer-like object in the sky, and they claim that it is undefined celestial bodies aka UFO, that can be seen is LDSD are being tested by NASA. The mission of this LDSD is exploration of the red planet in the year of 2018, as quoted from Ubergizmo on Sunday, April 13, 2014. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | UBERGIZMO]

What was the cause of the Bee stings pain?

More than 2 million people in the U.S. are allergic to the venom caused by the insect stings, it is based on a WebMD survey. Bee stings arguably more severe pain than other insects.

Wounds from a bee sting will generally be red, swollen, and painful. But that of course does not include the sharp explosion of pain in the preliminary-time incident. It turns out that due to bee sting pain, occurs because of two factors.

First, when the bee stings release a chemical compound that called melittin to the victim. These toxic compounds are able to spread and lead to a reaction of pain receptors. Then the victim will feel a burning sensation.

The latter because of stinging bees were spiked. Imagine it was a jagged sword. When it penetrating into the victim's skin, not just poison, also stinging 'divorced' from the bees. It's that cause painful sores.

The longer the stinger stayed in the skin, the more toxins out, to an attack can last up to about a minute. And where is the location of the worst body part to be exposed to a bee sting?
The body mapping of bee sting pain with the variations pain scale of 1-10 made ​​by Michael Smith. (Picture from: http://nationalgeographic.co.id/)
Michael Smith, a graduate student programs of Cornell University, who studies the behavior and evolution of honey bees, experiment with making himself the subject! Then he began collecting bees and put them in various parts of the body. He let the stinger stayed up for a few minutes, then measure the variations pain scale of 1-10.

Therefore, very difficult to give value for pain-is essentially a subjective experience-but psychological studies have suggested that a numerical scale is a good measure. The result? The worst was stung in the nostril (9.0), upper lip (8.7), and stem pubic or penis (7.3). *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC INDONESIA]

Blood Moon phenomenon

An interesting natural phenomenon will occur tonight (April 14 - 15, 2014). At that time, there will be a lunar eclipse. Before midnight, the Earth's satellite will be colored red, like blood or commonly referred to as blood moon.

Mid-April eclipse is the first total eclipse of 4 consecutive Moon eclipse or 'tetrad series of eclipses' in 2014. Four consecutive eclipses are quite rare events. The series last occurred in 2003 and 2004. It's just going to happen again seven times in this century.
Before the middle of the night, the Moon will be colored red, like the blood called blood moon phenomenon. The true sign of the apocalypse? (Picture from: http://www.salon.com/)
Some people believe it is a blood moon, either impending sign of doomsday or disaster. Such superstitions contained in the book, "Four Moons Blood: Something Is About to Change" (Worthy Publishing, 2013) by John Hagee, which shows the relationship between the four total lunar eclipse with the apocalypse prophecies.
This NASA graphic shows the months with total lunar eclipses between April 2014 and September 2015. This tetrad of total lunar eclipses features eclipses on April 15, Oct. 8, April 4, 2015 and Sept. 28, 2015. (Picture from: http://www.space.com/)
According to scientists, when the mechanism behind eclipse less well understood, they are considered a sign of bad news, as well as comets. Like a Comet Elenin ever considered as Nibiru wild planet, which will hit and shook the Earth. Now Elenin was dead.

"Now people know that the eclipse as it was just a normal incidence on the solar cycle, the things that have been going regularly for thousands of years and that will happen over thousands of years into the future," says Geoff Gaherty of Starry Night Education, as quoted from Space.com on Thursday, April 10, 2014.

He added that the link between 'predictions of disaster' and astronomical events are all fabrications of the human mind. "The only thing that happens during a lunar eclipse is that the moon spends several hours past the Earth's shadow, hardly something to worry about."

Thanks to the internet, people heard about the disaster at the other corner of the Earth, including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruption - that they never cared about in the past. "As a keen observer of the sky, I was saddened to learn many wonderful things in the sky like a lunar eclipse, regarded as an omen of disaster," added Geoff Gaherty.

The blood moon term rarely used among the astronomers. If used, the astronomers use it as as an alternative name for Hunter's Moon - the full moon following the Harvest Moon, which usually appears at the end of October.

Hunter's Moon, as well as the Harvest Moon, rose slowly in the autumn night that shines through the thick layer of Earth's atmosphere. The color red by scattering Rayleight - elastic scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by other particles - and air pollution.

However, a lunar eclipse is something very different. It occurs when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. Earth's shadow is composed of two parts: a dark core called the "umbra," and the outside of the lighter called the "penumbra. Rather than total darkness, shadow core usually orange or red by the light that passes through a ring that surrounds the Earth's atmosphere.

Depending on how the condition of Earth's atmosphere through which the light of the Sun, umbra can be colored from bright copper-red to almost totally black. On rare occasions, the light reaching the Moon has exactly as the color of blood, but there is no way to predict it in advance. So, there is no reason to call a particular lunar eclipse as the moon blood until the Moon finally showed its color.

Because the Moon's orbit slightly tilted compared to the path of the Sun in the sky, often the Moon passes above or below Earth's shadow, so no eclipse occurs. Sometimes the Moon passes through the penumbra and only produce what is called a penumbral eclipse, where the Moon is only slightly covered Earth's shadow - will not even realize the difference by sky watchers. There are 2 penumbral eclipse which occurred in 2013 - on May 25 and October 18.

There is also a partial lunar eclipse, where the moon is only slightly covered the Earth's shadow. As happened on April 25, 2013. Comparatively rare lunar eclipse is when the Moon passes through the darkest part of Earth's shadow: a total lunar eclipse that occurred on December 10, 2011. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | SPACE]
