Susan Aglukark Songs Singing Old Toy Train



Since last April 22 European citizens have been voted one of the 14 challenges proposed for knowing what the priority challenge that science must overcome to 2030.

The three most votes were:

1 st store electricity more efficiently
2 º artificial organs to replace damaged organs
3 º Robots to facilitate our lives


From CosmoCaixa want to thank the interest and congratulate the organizers and collaborators of the proposal by the successes.

How To Make A West Coat

Last conference cycle "Abracadabra ... And the brain creates the world "

brain's perception of beauty

Paintings, sculptures and landscapes are often taken and beautiful. The sense of beauty is absolutely subjective, but thanks to neuroimaging techniques are beginning to glimpse the brain mechanisms by which it acquires the sensation. The conference will present the experiments in the Laboratory of Human Systematics-unit associated with the Interdisciplinary Institute of Physics and Complex Systems of the CSIC and the Universitat de les Illes Balears, have identified certain patterns of brain response to beauty in women and men .

The museum in the world (II): awareness of Geology, Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology


The National Museum of Natural Sciences belonging to CSIC develops its research activities not only in the museum, but on five continents. In this second part, we will focus on areas Geology, Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology .

MNCN scientists dedicated to these areas, travel the world looking for answers to science.

After expeditions and scientific surveys, will begin testing the equipment of the laboratories of the museum itself.

As an example of the proliferation and development of these investigations, we showed a map that explains the main research campaigns of Ecology and Evolutionary Paleobiology of the world MNCN .

THE TRAIL OF THE MUSEUMS HAVE YOUR LAST STOP ON THE DELIGHT STATION, RAILROAD MUSEUM HEADQUARTERS

During the weekend, introducing the metro ticket, you can access for free at the Museum.
• The young audience will receive a comic book about the history of the railway.

On Saturday 29 and Sunday May 30 , customers of Metro de Madrid will have access free of charge, the Railway Museum, presenting the ticket. In addition, young audiences will receive the gift of a comic book about the history of railways.


"The Route of Museums" activity that ends this weekend in Railway Museum, is part of a cultural offer has been made during the month of May and has allowed access by passengers to six museums in Madrid (Royal Botanic Gardens , Mining Museum, National Museum of Natural Sciences , National Museum of Science and Technology , Museum of Anthropology and CosmoCaixa ) just by presenting your ticket at Metro.
"The Route of the Museums" is an initiative that Metro de Madrid and the various participating institutions designed to foster the use of public transport and improve the number of visitors to museums and science-related.

The interplanetary spacecraft and space life

Today May 25th you can attend the penultimate Conference Cycle on Earth into space.

interplanetary space missions are primarily scientific, for solar system exploration and improving our knowledge about it. Such missions have been present since the beginning of the space race, with missions from the former Soviet Union and EE U.S., which later joined ESA missions and Japan, and recently in other countries such as India and China: interplanetary missions respond to a wide variety of types: from fly-by missions of solar system bodies; missions orbiting bodies like Venus, Mars, the Sun and the Moon, missions to bring to Earth samples of various celestial bodies such as comets and asteroids, and Mars rover missions, until released to land probes on the surface of Mars or Titan.

As its name suggests, interplanetary missions are typically composed of a complex trajectories, since leaving Earth's gravity field with hyperbolic trajectories, heliocentric arcs passing between fly-bys of planets, and gravity-assisted trajectories (fly-bys) around planets or bodies, which makes them generally missions long time. For example, ESA's Rosetta mission, which aims to settle and analyze the core of a comet, was launched in February 2004, arriving in the vicinity of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in May 2014 after a trip more than 10 years that includes three fly-bys of the Earth, a Mars and other asteroids belt. These periods as long these missions give a special character with short periods of high activity (ie, fly-bys) and long periods of inactivity, in which, for reasons of energy saving, the spacecraft are in a state of hibernation, with the vast majority of electronic devices disconnected except for communications systems, command decoding and the power system.

These missions are also characterized by the complexity of communications between the ground segment and the spacecraft, due to the large distance (eg over 1,000 million miles), causing significant delays between signal emission and reception and the need for communication have to be very directional, requiring pointing and calibration systems for highly accurate ground antennas. Communication takes place through deep space stations, with antennas such as 26, 34 and 70 meters in diameter.

The epic interplanetary missions will be the twenty-first century, and allow us to deepen our desire for knowledge about the solar system, which responds to human need to explore new worlds and allow us to begin the colonization of this new world, with projects for manned missions and both permanent bases on the Moon and Mars.
