'Oldest
star chart' found
By
Dr David Whitehouse
BBC News
Online science editor |
The oldest image
of a star pattern, that of the famous
constellation of Orion, has been recognised on
an ivory tablet some 32,500 years old.
The tiny sliver
of mammoth tusk contains a carving of a man-like
figure with arms and legs outstretched in the
same pose as the stars of Orion.
The claim is
made by Dr Michael Rappenglueck, formerly of the
University of Munich, who is already renowned
for his pioneering work locating star charts
painted on the walls of prehistoric caves.
The tablet also
contains mysterious notches, carved on its sides
and on its back. These could be a primitive
"pregnancy calendar", designed to
estimate when a pregnant woman will give birth.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A bitter war
between rival Maya city-states may have set the stage for the collapse
of that once-great civilization, say scientists who translated recently
found hieroglyphics on stone stairs in an ancient pyramid in Guatemala.
A hurricane last summer began exposing the carvings at a
site known as Dos Pilas, and the story they tell is forcing scholars to
rewrite history.

Large Star Undergoing
Eruptions
By Paul Recer
Associated Press Writer
SEATTLE –– One of
the brightest and biggest stars in
the heavens is going through a
series of eruptions and dimming that
may lead eventually to a supernova
explosion, astronomers say.
The star, called Rho Cassiopeia, is a
hypergiant with 20 to 40 times the mass of the sun. It puts out a half
million times more light than the sun and can easily be seen from Earth
even though it is 10,000 light years away.

Hi-tech
hope as Rosslyn
Chapel is searched in relic mystery
TWENTY-FIRST
century technology is to be used to solve an age-old mystery at a
famous Midlothian chapel.
The carved stones of the 15th century Rosslyn Chapel are said to
contain dozens of historical relics including early gospels, the Ark
of the Covenant, the holy grail and the mummified head of Christ.
Now, more than 550 years after work began on the site, the latest
technology will be used to try and find the supposed relics.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Astronomers
say they have found a new type of black hole and now believe those
mysterious celestial objects exist in a variety of sizes, from small to
supermassive. Two teams of
astronomers, using the Hubble Space Telescope ( news
- web
sites) and other instruments, have found evidence for a type of
medium-sized black hole, a class of the objects that has never before
been seen.

| Temple
Acoustics on Malta's Island
Pavel Smuntný
After research tied with ancient
megalithic temples near to some pyramids in Egypt I had luck to discover
(probably it is really so and it must be thoroughly experimental proofed
on place) very ingenious functions of temple complexes on Malta's
islands. Here is also description how it had probably worked. Functions
and structures of temples in Mnajdra, in Xaghra and of the temple of
Hagar Qim were analogue to microwave generator and amplifier (to The
Drift Double Cavity Klystron). Used but was [1,2,3,6] other sort of
waves (not electromagnetic but acoustic). Diametral different are also
dimensions of compared generators.

A
Tale of Two
Images:
Proof
the
Enterprise
Image was
Hoaxed
This TEM /
Laney image
used in this
test was
saved as a
zero
compression
greyscale
jpeg from a
copy of the
original
tiff Keith
Laney
downloaded
before
applying a
Gaussian
blur.
Hoagland has
since used
the
Laney-blurred
image as
proof of
buried ruins
of an
ancient
civliization
spanning the
entire IR
strip.
Neither
Hoagland or
Laney has
publicly
released the
original
tiff image
that he
claims he
downloaded
on July 25th
from the ASU
site. For

| Slap
in
the
Face |
| More
controversy
in
the
debate
over
an
image
of
Mars |
| BY
QUETTA
CARPENTER |
The
controversy
over
the
alleged
doctoring
of
an
image
of
Mars
by
an
Arizona
State
University
research
center
is
exploding
like
a
supernova.
The
backpedaling
and
finger-pointing
among
a
once-unified
group
of
researchers
claiming
the
government
conspired
to
cover
evidence
of
life
on
the
Red
Planet
is
as
interesting
as
the
original
conspiracy
itself
("To
Spite
the
Face,"
Quetta
Carpenter,
December
5).
Researchers,
led
by
Richard
Hoagland
of
The
Enterprise
Mission,
have
accused
NASA's
THEMIS
project
(based
at
ASU)
of
altering
the
first
infrared
image
of
Mars.
The
claim
was
backed
up
by
an
image
downloaded
by
Keith
Laney,
an
imaging
specialist,
on
July
24.
Claims
were
made
that
the
official
image
filtered
out
key
artifacts,
and
a
complaint
was
filed
with
NASA
under
the
new
Data
Quality
Act
(DQA)
to
replace
the
image.
But
Nancy
Kaplan
of
NASA,
in
a
written
response
to
the
filing,
says
the
image
"was
not
altered,
removed,
replaced,
or
otherwise
touched"
as
critics
contend.
Kaplan
welcomed
the
group
to
file
an
appeal.
