Gravity, squid, and Blindness: What Is It Like Living in Space?

By: Syaifuddin Iqbal on 20:14

The resilience of the human body's mission in the International Space Station for a year was launched on March 27 and involved 19 medical and biological testing, 14 of which are designed by the Russian Space Agency. Cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko and NASA astronaut Scott Kelly will also perform two experiments together. Most of the tests will be used by scientists to assess the ability of the human body during space travel for the preparation of long-term missions to Mars.

Famine in Space Without Gravity

As indicated by several previous trials, conditions of weightlessness affects human eating habits. Food does not have weight in space, so the astronauts feel hungry more often compared to when they were on Earth. According to Boris Afonin, scientific supervisor of food testing, increased appetite combined with a low amount of physical activity sometimes creates weight gain space explorers.

Another impact is the weightless conditions astronauts experience a change in their sense of taste while in space. "It's not salty foods into sweet or sour," said Afonin. "But astronauts often realize that the food they like while undergoing test trials on Earth invisible food tasty again. Some of them complained they were not getting pleasure from eating while on a mission. The cause of it is still to be us to investigate."

However, upon returning home, astronauts can not immediately eat beefsteak or borsht (typical Russian beet soup), as suspected people. "They need to adapt in advance, because after completing a mission in outer space, Earth digesting food takes hard work," said Afonin. "The reason weightless conditions also suppress the activity of the human digestive system, or in other words the intestine loses its ability to push the food."

However, according Afonin, all of it is just common assumptions, and that he supervised trials will determine which part of the human digestive tract are the most affected, including if there is a risk of pathological changes. The data will be used to figure out how to avoid dangerous changes in the digestive system and devise an optimal diet for astronauts.

Blood Flow to the Top

Russian scientists involved in the mission will also monitor the body's metabolism Mikhail Kornienko. Every two months, the cosmonauts will fill out a questionnaire regarding the consumption of water and food, take blood samples, and the results are displayed in a special tool called "sprut" (squid in Russian).

Data is expected to help scientists see how weightlessness affects the immune system and the endocrine system of man. "Even small changes in the endocrine gland can affect the performance of astronauts," said Galina Vasilieva, chief researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In addition, the effect of zero-gravity conditions also have an impact on the redistribution of human body fluids and can lead to dehydration. "The condition of weightlessness makes a large amount of blood is redistributed to the upper body," said Vasilieva. "All organs, including the liver, have to work harder. To adapt this regard, the body tries to get rid of excess fluid. As a result, on the first day of the mission astronauts showed an increase in the amount of urine."

When astronauts return to Earth, it is the other way: gravity ambushed and blood tend to be driven to the bottom of the body, so the astronauts could hardly stand on their feet after landing. The trials were conducted by the Russian team will help facilitate and accelerate adaptation in good condition in space and on Earth.

Too Easy Breathing

Another test conducted dubbed "UdoD" (a kind of colored birds in Russia). The first test done when astronauts are in zero-gravity conditions. These trials study the impact of the redistribution of fluid in the respiratory system and vision. Increased blood flow to the upper body causing intracranial pressure. This can result in reduced vision capabilities, which have been reported by several astronauts. It also happens when astronauts stood upside down.

As part of the experiment, Mikhail Kornienko will breathe using a special tool that is designed to lower blood pressure in the chest cavity and pushes the blood back down, said one of the Russian scientist Alexander Suvorov. "In a zero-gravity conditions, weakened respiratory muscles, the same as the leg muscles, because there is easier to breathe," Suvorov said. "UdoD designed to make greater efforts cosmonauts do breathe in weightless conditions, working like a sports machine," he explained.

Mecca is a Mainland Center World

By: Syaifuddin Iqbal on 23:39

Scientific findings horrendous scientists and published in January 1977 states, "The city of Mecca is the center of the land in the world." This fact was discovered after a long research and refers to a number of highly complex mathematical table with the aid of computer technology.

Egyptian scientist, Dr. Husein Kamaludin, the inventor of this fact tells the story quite astonishing discovery that this research begins with a purpose very different from the results obtained. At first research conducted to obtain a tool that can help anyone and at any place on the globe is to examine and determine the position of the Qibla.

Because, during his travels to foreign countries, he felt that the determination of Qiblah direction has always been a problem faced by all Muslims as being in a place that no mosque or prayer hall which has obvious sign of the direction of Qibla. This problem often faced by someone who is outside the country (which is not the land of Islam), for example, the students were sent abroad.

Therefore, Dr Husain Kamaludin think to create a new world map which contains instructions position Qiblah direction. After making the initial draft preliminary research aimed to make this new map and drawing five continents on the map, suddenly finding that invite admiration it appears.

Egyptian scientists have discovered that the position of the city of Mecca are right in the middle of the world. He then holds up a run and put one end in the image of Mecca and then run the other end at the end of every continent. It turns out that land on the surface of the globe is divided systematically around the city of Mecca. From here, he found that the city of Mecca is the center of the mainland. Subsequently he took an ancient map before the discovery of America and Australia. After testing many times, he found that the Mecca remains a central point of the mainland, up when compared with the conditions of the early period of the Islamic world map.

Dr Husain Kamaludin added, "I began this study by drawing a map that takes into account distance of all the places on earth with the city of Mecca. I then measured the same line of longitude to determine the position of latitude and longitude when measured from the city of Mecca. After that, I picture the continental boundaries and rights of other details on this line line network. It requires a very complicated mathematical processing, with the help of computer technology in order to determine the required distance and deviation. This research also requires drawing software latitude and longitude for the new projection.

By chance discovered that a can draw a circle centered on the city of Mecca and its limits beyond limits to all six continents. And this circle line around the edge of the outer limits of the continental limits of the continent. Thus, Mecca is the heart of the earth. And it had previously been indicated by the findings of modern science by scientists, which mentions the city of Mecca is the center of gravity magnetic radiation. Unique phenomenon will also be felt by all those who visit the city of Mecca for the Hajj or Umrah purpose, with a sincere heart and repent to God. He felt as if attracted by all that is in Mecca, from the ground, mountains, until all that is there, as if he felt fuse together the city of Mecca with all their body and soul. And this is a feeling that has continued since the beginning of the earth's existence.

As with the other planets, the earth also do barter fascination with planets planets and other stars. This appeal comes from inside the earth boils down to one central point of the earth which is also the source of the radiation beam. Plutonic meeting point is what was discovered by an American scientist in the field of topography after ensuring the existence and geography. In this case it certainly is not driven by religious beliefs. Day and night, with high spirits he worked in his laboratory while facing Earth maps and other supplies. And accidentally she discovered that cosmic radiation was the meeting center in the city of Mecca.

Referring to the scientific facts above, we can recognize the wisdom behind the selection of the city of Mecca as a place of establishment of the House, as well as shoots spread of the message of Islam throughout the world. And this proves the scientific miracles contained in the hadith of the Prophet which displays the status of the city of Mecca virtue than anywhere else on earth. Allaah nature.

Allah He will say, "and that you may give a warning to residents of Umm Al-Qura (Mecca) and those people outside environment." (Surat al-An'am 92) Prophet stood on the hill Hazwarah (in Mecca) and said in the city of Mecca, "I know that you are as good as God's good earth and the most beloved to Allah, if your family does not issue from you, surely I can not get out.

Have you seen a magical spring? Well, this time you will be amazed by a strangeness that appear in a pond fountain that can appear suddenly when called by the people who come. Like what?

Located in the hamlet of Kali Bening, Krasak village, subdistrict Mojotengah, Wonosobo regency, Central Java, natural wonders it really happened. A pool measuring 55 square meters of unspoiled, there is uniqueness called 'Tuk Sewu' or in Indonesian means spring, amounting to one thousand.

Although not really amount to a thousand, but when "called", from the pool size is not too large, it will be a lot of bubble popping springs. Strange indeed. Usually the water that can respond to people who dipped her feet in the pool and said "Tuk Sewu."

Stories about Tuk Sewu is already legendary around the surrounding community. Precisely has become a folklore. Village children who were around the pool Tuk Sewu often play these natural water. Although often called multiple repeated, but a thousand springs that still appears, like answering the caller.

Iriono, 35, community leaders around saying, strangeness thousand springs overflow in the village pond is already happening since decades ago. But rarely are aware, therefore thousand miraculous spring has yet to enter into a tourist destination in Wonosobo regency.

"In the past, around the pool there is a large banyan trees towering. Many believe this Sewu Tuk miracle because there watchman replied tree greeting people who come," he told VIVA co.id.

However, the last few years a large banyan tree that has been cut down by the owner. Thus, in the end an Sewu Tuk it now seemed unkempt. Although popping these springs are still often appear.

"The sacredness of this spring seemed lost when the tree fell. But spring is still frequently used local people," he said.

Iriono added Tuk Sewu miracle that often appear when called up to now believed to be a symbol of community prosperity. Each month the Shura (Java months) the water was often used for ceremonies.

"The term 'merti deso' which means thanksgiving village," he said, adding that the location is now sacred springs.

In fact, in the surrounding villages, there are many other natural springs, especially in the area of ​​mountain slopes and plateaus Sindoro Dieng.

"Here there are seven types of springs that are in some places. When tasyakuran village is required to take water from seven springs was to unify the difference," explained he. (Ren)

By: Syaifuddin Iqbal on 12:16

Mecca and Medina are the two holiest cities of Islam world. Mecca became very historic, because it is a city where the birth of Prophet Muhammad. In addition, there is also the Kaaba in Mecca, which is a mecca prayer islam people worldwide. Medina is also a historic city for Muslims. There are the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. Prophet's Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in the Islamic history, as well as a center for religious education from the time of the prophet until now. Medina is also a city where the Prophet Muhammad is buried.

Mecca and Medina also be two major destinations when we run the Hajj and Umrah. On January 26, 2015 ago, Anton Shkaplerov, a Russian cosmonaut posted on twitter about his astonishment when photographing two holy cities of the Islamic ummah. The photo was taken at night from the International Space Station (ISS).

City of Mecca and Medina looks bright. The lights sparkling like a carpet of gold. While at one point in the middle, visible white light that is very clear. Adding to the beauty of the two holy cities.

The cosmonauts post these photos to Twitter and Instagram. He said he was amazed by the sights he portraits. Read: This is the first woman to give birth on Mars

Friday, March 27th, 1000 meter asteroid passed by Earth

By: Syaifuddin Iqbal on 23:08

The distance is about 11.6 times closer than the moon.

Iustrasi (Reuters/NASA/JPL-Caltech/Handout)

After passing the asteroid BL86, the earth will again meet with other asteroids. This time, the asteroid was named 2014-YB35.

Reported by Softpedia, Thursday, March 26, 2015, the asteroid will approach the Earth YG35 on Friday, March 27th, 2015. It is about 11.6 times closer than the moon.

In other words, 2014 YB35 will not give concern for the inhabitants of the earth. Distance YB35 with the earth is only about 4.5 million kilometers or about 2.8 million miles. You could say, to the size of the space, the distance is nearing. But scientists ensure this distance will not endanger the safety of the earth.

YB35 asteroid was first discovered on December 27, 2014 by astronomers working at the Catalina Sky. It is a project that examines and identifies comets and asteroids that could potentially threaten the Earth.

Since the discovery, space rock that has been observed many times, even in 380 occasions. Astronomers predict, the size range of 440 to 990 meters, or about 1,440 to 3,250 feet.

With the size of it, the speed of a space rock reached 10.6 kilometers per second, or about 6.6 miles per second.

This is the second time this year an asteroid nearly rammed earth. Earlier, in January, 2014-BL86 asteroid passing Earth at a distance of 1.2 million kilometers or approximately 750,000 miles from Earth.

Fortunately, even though the distance is close, BL86 also potentially hit the Earth. B86 also continued his journey in space.

After YB35 passing, his form will not be closer to the earth until later in 2033. The asteroid will come back to visit Earth in the year with the closest distance of 3.2 million kilometers, or about 2 million miles from Earth.
