MASSAPEDIA NEWS - The Egyptian King, Tutankhamun was buried with his ancient objects, one of which is an iron dagger hilt and sheath complete with gold. Unknown dagger was believed to be made of space objects that fell to Earth.

The study, led by a scientific team from the Polytechnic University of Milan found that the metal lining the dagger belonged to King Tut - as he is known - is made of meteorites.

Iron can be said is not a common ingredient for appliances in Egypt until the 8th century BC, or actually after the reign of Tut.


"The issues related to construction materials of iron is the highest melting point of 1,538 degrees Celsius," said Daniela Comelli chemist who led the study, in a statement sent via email to the Canadian Broadcast Corporation.

He continued, "because it was the blacksmith in his time could not heat the iron ore to extract iron and unable to forge iron to become a weapon."

Comelli and his team analyzed the iron at daggers King Tut and compared them with 11 metal analysis of meteorites that already exists.


Citing Quartz, they found the iron impurities in the dagger, including white metallic element nickel and cobalt which are characteristic of iron from meteorites space.

Comelli Tim explains, ancient Egyptian society tend to use a hammer to shape metal has fallen to the Earth's surface from space.

Because of the rarity of objects made of iron in ancient Egypt, the researchers believe that iron meteorites chances are very valuable than gold at that time.


"The sky is very important for the people of ancient Egypt," said Joyce Tyldesley Egyptian scientist from the University of Manchester, England who were also members of the research team.

He continued, "things falling from the sky they would consider to be a gift from the gods."

This research has been published in the journal Meteoritics and Planetary Science.

MASSAPEDIA NEWS - A mazy about Planet X is believed to be the ninth planet in the solar system originally found a team of astronomers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in January yesterday. So what about this mysterious planet?


Sparked the curiosity about the ninth planet, the team consisting of Professor Christoph Mordasini and PhD student Esther Linder of the University of Bern in Switzerland trying to analyze it using specialized mathematical models and computer simulations to determine the structure of Planet X.


Quoted by Gizmag, mathematical models and computer simulations the researchers used came from orbit six objects in the Kuiper Belt beyond the solar system.

From there, the research team calculated that the most likely cause of the odd orbit of the objects that were previously not identified - including Planet X - is due to be in an elliptical orbit distance is 104 billion kilometers from the sun.


Then Mordasini and Linder deduce the possible structures all these nine planets surrounding the size, light, until the surface temperature.

They suspect these nine planets all gas charged with a core containing iron, silicate, and ice surrounded the atmosphere filled with hydrogen and helium.


The size of the planet's ninth-called 10 times heavier than the mass of the Earth with a radius 3.7 times greater. Its diameter is estimated to 47 144 kilometers and estimate the temperature there reaches -226 degrees Celsius.


In fact, they believe, the temperature can reach -263 degrees Celsius, but the force of gravity presses the planet so that it produces 1,000 times more energy than the energy that he received from the sun.

It not only shows that Planet 9 is a very cool place, but also the distance is very far from the Sun as to make it more brightly in infrared light.


Because of their remoteness, the Sun also looks like a typical star and made all nine planets are hard to see from Earth even if using a sophisticated telescope.

Mordasini and Linder also believes the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope in Chile will be able to detect some more to prove that all nine planets do exist in the solar system.


The study is published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics.

Earlier, an astronomer named Daniel Whitmire claimed Planet X could threaten Earth civilization because they can send the odd waves are dangerous.


Not only that, Whitmire said, Planet X is so "turn off" could cause mass extinction, known as "The Great Dying". A similar incident occurred at 252 million years ago and it seems Whitmire think that it could happen again.


NASA also spoke about the findings and considered Planet X could not be substantiated. Never mind about the dangerous potential new planets, planetary science division director Jim Green, also has not agreed to call Planet X as the ninth planet in the solar system.

MASSAPEDIA NEWS - SpaceX Dragon cargo aircraft from successfully put the supply needs of astronauts and the brand-new module will be 'hotel room' space to the International Space Station (International Space Station / ISS) on Sunday (10/4).


The module named Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) is believed as something potentially as 'hotel room' human crew in space tourism program or a scientific cruise mission to the planet Mars. After arriving in space, then what will be done by the astronauts who inhabit the ISS to the BEAM?


As has been reported previously, BEAM indeed be pinned to the ISS to undergo the testing process.

Known addresses in Dragon cargo plane, BEAM is still in a state of collapse. Citing NBC News, BEAM will be pinned to the ISS on Saturday (16/4) but will not inflated until the end of May.

Then after BEAM has been inflated, NASA will remain closed the hatch to see if this module can work well in space.


Interior size to be used BEAM in the ISS is 330 cubic meters.

BEAM is also open for the crew of astronauts who are inhabiting the ISS, but its capacity is limited to a maximum of six people. Later, the astronauts were allowed to enter several times to gather scientific data and test the sensors.


The plan, BEAM will continue to be pinned on the ISS for two years.

Technologies such habitat is expected to be applied for the NASA Mars missions around the next two decades.

While companies that develop BEAM, Bigelow Aerospace, want this module can be used commercially within the next four years.


BEAM design that weighs 1,360 kilograms is claimed to be basically able to reduce the effects of space radiation because it is not made of metal.

BEAM development cost US $ 17.8 million  and claimed to be the most pocket-friendly modules to be embedded in the ISS.


If the mission is successful, BEAM will be the first step for the application of space habitats orbiting the Earth, and enables scientists and tourists visit it and call it a "space hotel".

MASSAPEDIA NEWS - There was the shocking news of the Nigerian government in the world keantariksaan. Countries that have ambitions to send one of its citizens into space in 2030.

More recently the Minister of Science and Technology of Nigeria Ogbonnaya Onu announced that his country would join the league of space, whose members consist of India, China, Japan, Russia, Canada, the United States and 22 countries under the auspices of the European Space Agency (ESA ).


Citing Quartz sites, technically this is not the first time Nigeria to send humans to the 'space'.

In 2006, they sent a 17-year old girl to perform parabolic flights, ie, when the jet menerjunkannya and create 30 seconds of weightlessness, the girl was immediately regarded as an astronaut.

Countries in the world that does not have a high-tech space, usually can send their citizens into space by way nebeng capsules from other countries who are on a mission.


Nigeria through Space Defense Agency in the capital Abuja developing its own rocket to share knowledge with other space agencies.

Nigeria assessing got a lot of air force pilots are able to realize the ambition visited the International Space Station (International Space Station / ISS).


One thing is certain, Nigeria is rumored to be partnering with China in satellite launch for the Bamboo Curtain country promised to train workers in Nigeria to make it happen naturally after a launch failure.

MASSAPEDIA NEWS - Liquid element is believed to have flowed on the planet Pluto in millions of years ago, and is now considered highly liquid may back 'live' there.

The team of NASA scientists reported live from the event Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. Scientific data about Pluto collected by drone robotic New Horizons is often underestimated.


One of them is the mystery of the aquatic life there, since Pluto is the farthest planet from the Sun so as to make the temperature is very cold, reaching -240 degrees Celsius.

More recently, based on data submitted to the New Horizons team of researchers on Earth, they discover a mysterious frozen locations on the planet's surface is then believed to be made from the liquid.


"After investigation, it shows such a mysterious spot was once a lake. This time can be regarded as a frozen lake," said New Horizons investigation leader Alan Stern.

Citing the National Geographic website, the frozen lake situated in the northern part of a 'sea' of ice named Sputnik Planum. The frozen lake is estimated stretching along 32 kilometers.

Although it is not entirely clear about what kind of liquid flowing in the lake, the researchers estimate that it is nitrogen.


Why can Nitrogen?

As Pluto orbits the Sun, the dwarf planet's changing seasons of the most extreme in the solar system. From there, the researchers have done a simulation that produced the information that atmosfe nitrogen Pluto becomes thinner and thicker dramatically over a period of millions of years.

Then they also believe, Pluto's surface temperature fluctuates with the existing nitrogen, and then lead to changes in the elements of a frozen solid into a gas. Sometimes, the temperature and pressure sometimes rises high enough to make the liquid nitrogen flowing at the surface.


The research team noted, the last time the high temperatures which can dissolve the nitrogen is about 800 thousand years ago.

"The story of these findings, as a planet, will continue to grow," continued Stern.

New Horizons team will continue a thorough investigation in order to uncover the mysteries contained in Pluto.


"From the data obtained, we were not surprised. But really surprised," said NASA senior planetary scientist, Jim Green.

In mid July, the New Horizons successfully passed 12.5 thousand kilometers above the surface of Pluto at a speed of 45 thousand kilometers per hour. The distance to be the closest since New Horizons exploring space for 9.5 years.
