Space 6

This new Hubble image - One among the largest ever produced with the Earth-orbiting observatory - shows gives the most detailed view so far of the entire Crab Nebula ever made. The Crab is arguably the single most interesting object, as well as one of the most studied, in all of astronomy. The image is the largest image ever taken with Hubble’s WFPC2 workhorse camera.

Space 5

N90 is located in the wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud, in the constellation of Tucana, approximately 200,000 light-years away from the Earth. Its proximity makes it an exceptional laboratory to perform in-depth studies of star formation processes and their evolution in an environment close to that in the early Universe. Dwarf galaxies such as the Small Magellanic Cloud, with small numbers of stars compared to our own Milky Way, are considered to be the primitive building blocks of larger galaxies. The study of star formation within this dwarf galaxy is particularly interesting to astronomers because its primitive nature means that it lacks a large percentage of the heavier elements that are forged in successive generations of stars through nuclear fusion.

Hubble creates 3-D map of 'Dark Matter'

The Hubble Space Telescope has helped an international team of astronomers create a three-dimensional map of 'dark matter' that provides the first direct look at the large-scale distribution of dark matter in the universe.

Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the universe's mass, and according to the researchers, the map provides the best evidence yet that normal matter, largely in the form of galaxies, accumulates along the densest concentrations of dark matter. According to the research team, the map, which stretches halfway back to the beginning of the universe, shows how dark matter has grown increasingly "clumpy" as it collapsed under gravity.

It also reveals a loose network of filaments that grew over time and intersected in massive structures at the locations of clusters of galaxies, the researchers said.

Richard Massey and Nick Scoville from the California Institute of Technology, who presented the findings at the 209th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, Washington, said the 3-D map was a milestone, that would help astronomers take the study of dark matter in the universe from the level of "inference to direct observation".

Previous studies of dark matter were based largely on numerical simulations of the expected evolution of large-scale structure, whereas this study showed that evolution was driven by the gravitational attraction of dark matter, they said.

According to the two, the new maps of dark matter and galaxies will also provide critical observational underpinnings to future theories for how structure formed in the evolving universe under the relentless pull of gravity.

"It's reassuring how well our map confirms the standard theories for structure formation." said Massey.

"Dark matter is the 'scaffolding' inside of which stars and galaxies have been assembled over billions of years. Theories suggest the universe transitioned from a smooth distribution of matter into a sponge-like structure of long filaments. Mapping dark matter's distribution in space and time is fundamental to understanding how galaxies grew and clustered over billions of years," he said.

"Tracing the growth of clustering in the dark matter may eventually also shed light on dark energy, a repulsive form of gravity that influences how dark matter clumps," he added.

For creating the map, Hubble photographed 575 slightly overlapping views of the universe using the Advanced Camera for Surveys' (ACS) Wide Field Camera onboard the telescope.

The European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile, and the Subaru telescope in Hawaii obtained a further 1000 hours of observations of thousands of galaxies' spectra.

Finally, a study of the hot gas in the densest galaxy clusters was imaged in X-rays by the ESA's XMM-Newton telescope and the distances accurately determined through their spectral redshifts to arrive at the map.

Space 4

Since the launch of the first artificial satellites in the 1950s thousands of views of the earthhave been obtained from space. Althogh such images can give initial impression of a self-contained ball of light and coloure floating in a dark void, they also make us realize that our planet existswithin a context.

Space 2

This is beautiful isn't it. Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy some 200 thousand light-years distant, lies the young star cluster NGC 602. Surrounded by natal gas and dust, NGC 602 is featured in this Hubble image of the region. Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy some 200 thousand light-years distant, lies the young star cluster NGC 602. Surrounded by natal gas and dust, NGC 602 is featured in this Hubble image of the region.At the estimated distance of the Small Magellanic Cloud, the picture spans about 200 light-years, but a tantalizing assortment of background galaxies are also visible in the sharp Hubble view. The background galaxies are hundreds of millions of light-years or more beyond NGC 602.

Space 1

This is a cats eye Nebula in space. Three thousand light-years away, the Cat's Eye Nebula, a dying star throws off shells of glowing gas. This image from the Hubble Space Telescope reveals the nebula to be one of the most complex planetary nebulae known. In fact, the features seen in the Cat's Eye are so complex that astronomers suspect the bright central object may actually be a binary star system.

Parthenon - temple of Athena Parthenos , Greek goddess of wisdom, on the Acropolis in Athens. The Parthenon was built in the 5th century BC, and despite the enormous damage it has sustained over the centuries, it still communicates the ideals of order and harmony for which Greek architecture is known.

The Ionic style is thinner and more elegant. Its top is decorated with a scroll-like design. This style was found in eastern Greece and the islands.

Architecture in ancient Greece:

The Corinthian style is seldom used in the Greek world, but often seen on Roman temples. Its top is very elaborate and decorated with acanthus leaves.

Architecture in ancient Greece:

The Doric style is rather
sturdy and its top .
This style was used in
mainland Greece and the
colonies in southern Italy
and Sicily.

Heracles

Heracles is best known as the strongest of all mortals. Stronger then many gods. So strong he was the deciding factor in allowing the Olympian Gods to win their battle with the giants. He was the last mortal son of Zeus. He is the only man born of mortal woman to become a god upon his death.

Offsetting his strength was a noticeable lack of intelligence or wisdom. Once when he became too hot he pulled his bow out and threaten to shoot the sun. This coupled with strong emotions in one so powerful frequently got Heracles in trouble. While his friend and cousin Theseus ruled Athens, Heracles had trouble ruling himself. His pride was easily offended. He took up grudges easily and never forgot them. His appetites for food, wine, and women were as massive as his strength. Many of Heracles great deeds occurred while doing penance for stupid acts done in anger or carelessness.

It would be easy to view Heracles as a muscle bound buffoon. Indeed, many of the comic Greek playwrights used him this way. Even among serious critics he was often seen as a primitive, brutal, and violent. There is much to support this view. His chosen weapon was a massive club. His customary garment a lion skin, head still attached. He impiously wounded some of the gods. He threatened Apollo priestess at Delphi when a answer to his questions was not forthcoming. He created most of his own problems.

However, Heracles as simply a macho buffoon is unfair. If he held grudges, he would also do anything to help a friend. Once his anger passed he was the most critical judge of his own actions. He was too strong for anyone to force a punishment on him. That he willing did severe penance shows a fundamental sense of justice. During his punishments he shows patience, fortitude and endurance that are as heroic as his strength. Terrible things happen to him because of Hera's hatred, a hatred that he is not responsible for. That he perseveres through it all is a moral victory beyond simple strength.

The view of Heracles shifted considerable over time. The early view focused on how badly he managed despite his obvious gifts. As time passed the focus shifted to his virtues. The Romans valued him highly as he best fit their idea of a hero. He eventually had a fair sized cult that worshiped him as a god.

Minos

Minos was the King of Create. He was the son of Zeus and Europa. He created a famous legal code. His success as a law giver was such that after his death he was made one of the three judges of the dead in the Underworld. During his rule Create became a major power with an excellent education system, wide spread trade, impressive buildings, and flourishing arts. It became the strongest navel power.

Hera a Greek god

Hera is Zeus wife and sister. She was raised by the Titans Ocean and Tethys. Shea is the supreme goddess, goddess of marriage and childbirth and takes special care of married women.

Hera's marriage was founded in strife with Zeus and continued in strife. Zeus courted her unsuccesfully. He then turned to trickery, changing himself into disheveled cuckoo. Hera feeling sorry for the bird held it to her breast to warm it. Zues then resumed his normal form and taking advantage of the suprise he gained, raped her. She then married him to cover her shame.

Once when Zeus was being partcularly overbearing to the other gods, Hera convinced them to join in a revolt. Her part in the revolt was to drug Zeus, and in this she was successful. The gods then bound the sleeping Zeus to a couch taking care to tie many knots. This done they began to quarrel over the next step. Briaerus overheard the arguements. Still full of gratitude to Zeus, Briareus slipped in and was able to quickly untie the many knots. Zeus sprang from the couch and grapped up his thuderbolt. The gods fell to their knees begging and pleading for mercy. He seized Hera and hung her from the sky with gold chains. She wept in pain all night but, none of the others dared to interfere. Her weeping kept Zeus up and the next morning he agreed to release her if she would swear never to rebel again. She had little choice but, to agree. While she never again rebeled, she often intrigued against Zeus's plans and she was often able to outwit him.

Most stories concerning Hera have to do with her jealous revenge for Zeus's infidelities. Her sacred animals are the cow and the Peacock. Her favorite city is Argos.

The four humours

The theory about the four humours was important in medicine.
The four humours were body liquids blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile. These were connected to the four seasons.
Yellow bile= summer
black bile= autumn
phlegm= winter
blood= spring.

Hippocrates said if someone had a fever in spring then they had too much blood and they had to 'Bleed' the patient.

A review of simpson's HIT AND RUN!!

Simpson's hit and run is a challenging game with its 7 levels with mitions and races on involving chases and lots of other things that I enjoy. I think the hit and run part of it is a good idea because if you are in a group you can say theta when one of you gets bused that its the next persons go. The levels have the different character's in them like in the first level it is Homer the second level is Bart the third level is Lisa the fourth is Marge the fith level is Apu the sixth level is Bart again and the seventh and final level is Homer again. I think that this is one of the best games I have played on and is rated seven and over. I think this gome is a four star game.

Greek food

Lamb is the most popular meat. It is roasted whole at Easter, weddings and other festivals.
On some islands goat is enjoyed more even though it takes longer to cook.
Fournos means both bakehouse and oven. The bakers oven used to be shared by everyone in the community. Most Greek bread is a cream colour. The usual shape is large and round and is cut into thick slices.
In Greece the herb Basil is used on religious occasions. Men wear the leaves in their hat bands when they go to church on Stavros day ( the day of the Cross) on 14th September. A sprig is offered to any visitors as a sign of welcome and friendship.
Some Greek honey has a nutty flavour. Some smell and taste of wild thyme or citrus blossom. Others smell of chestnut blossom. Honey is often drizzled over Greek yoghurt.

A man starts a job at a zoo so he visits the head keepers office on his first day. The head keeper says that "if any animals die while you are looking after them you will pay for them. If you wonder what the price is of one of the animals you will find it in the red book on my desk". The man thought that he would be ok because he would look after them really good. His first job was to clean out the finch cage. While he is sweeping a finch falls from its perch SPLAT! DEAD! He was shocked. He goes to the head keepers office and looks in the red book to see how much the finch would cost. It cost £10 and he wasnt expecting it to be that price. He scoops up the finch and throws it into the lions cage.
The next job is to feed the chimps. Two chimps were playing on a swinging tyre and it was held up by a rope. SNAP! The rope broke in half and down came the chimps. SPLAT! DEAD! He looked in the red book £5 per chimp! He scoops up the chimps and chucks them into the lions cage.
He then went to mow a big field. He was driving a tractor with big cutters in a field with loads of trees. While he was doing this one side of the cutters hits a tree and knocks down a bee hive. BUZZZZZZZ! The bees dropped into the cutters. SPLAT! DEAD! The man looked in the red book £10 per bee and there were 5000 bees in the hive £50 000!
He scooped up the bees into a wheel barrow and tips them into the lions cage.

Finch, chimps and mushy bees! Yum Yum!
