Big Dipper stars

Posted by in category: futurism

The Big Dipper is an asterism formed by seven bright stars in the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. It is one of the most recognizable star patterns in the night sky. The asterism is well-known in many cultures and goes by many other names, including the Plough, the Great Wagon, Saptarishi, and the Saucepan.

The seven stars that form the Big Dipper are: Alkaid (Eta Ursae Majoris), Mizar (Zeta Ursae Majoris), Alioth (Epsilon Ursae Majoris), Megrez (Delta Ursae Majoris), Phecda (Gamma Ursae Majoris), Dubhe (Alpha Ursae Majoris), and Merak (Beta Ursae Majoris).

In northern latitudes, the Big Dipper is visible throughout the year. It is one of the first star patterns we learn to identify, along with Orion’s Belt, Cassiopeia’s W, and the Northern Cross in Cygnus.

Diamond From 400 Miles Deep Reveals a Water-Rich Environment

Posted by in category: futurism

Deep below the surface of our world, far beyond our feeble reach, enigmatic processes grind and roil.

Every now and then, the Earth disgorges clues to their nature: tiny chthonic diamonds encasing skerricks of rare mineral. From these tiny fragments we can glean tidbits of information about our planet’s interior.

A diamond unearthed in a diamond mine in Botswana is just such a stone. It’s riddled with flaws containing traces of ringwoodite, ferropericlase, enstatite, and other minerals that suggest the diamond formed 660 kilometers (410 miles) below Earth’s surface.
