My Own Story: Music Box . . . First Part

Music Box

Malalim na ang gabi at masyado nang malamig ang simoy ng hangin. Si Angela ay naghihintay parin sa nobya nitong si Jayson sa labas ng paaralan dahil susunduin ito ng nobya para masiguro nitong ligtas itong makakauwi sa kanilang bahay. Di kalayuan sa kanyang kinatatayuan, may isang lalaking tila nakatitig sa kanya. Napatingin si Angela sa sulok kung saan nandoon ang mismong lalake ngunit hindi niya ito makilala sa dilim ng paligid sa kinatatayuan ng mismong lalake. Bigla siyang nakaramdam ng kaba at agad nitong sinubukang kontakin ang nobya sa telepono. Ilang beses niyang sinubukang tumawag pero hindi ito sinasagot ng nobya. Sa sobrang kaba, naisipan nitong pumasok uli sa loob ng paaralan dahil iniisip niyang mas mapapanatag ang kanyang kalooban at mas masisiguro ang kanyang seguridad. Sa pagpasok nito, sinubukan niyang ngumiti sa guwardiya ng paaralan na para bang walang nangyari. Napansin nito na balisang-balisa si Angela. “Miss? Ayos ka lang bah? Balisang-balisa ka ah. . “ tanong ng guwardiya. “Ayos lng ho ako, ‘wag ho kayong mag-alala” sagot naman ni Angela habang pinipigilan ang panginginig. Dumiretso si Angela sa isa sa mga tambayan ng paaralan at minabuting doon nalang maghintay sa nobya. Ngunit pakiramdam niyang may nanonood parin sa kanya na para bang bawat kilos niya ay binabantayan. Halos hindi siya makakilos. Halos hindi siya makalingon. Ayaw niyang mabigyan ng dahilan ang kanyang sariling mas matakot. At kung andoon lang sa paligid ang taong iyon, ayaw niya itong makaalam napapansin niya ito. Para magkaroon siya ng kasama, hinanap niya ang malapit na kaibigang si Abbie. Tinawagan niya ito at inalam sa kanya kung nasaan siya. Habang naglalakad siya, napadaan siya sa isang madilim na parte ng paaralan. Bigla nanaman niyang naramdaman ang hindi maipaliwanag na kabang naramadaman niya kanina sa labas. Habang naglalakad siya, nakiramdam siya sa kanyang paligid. Napansin niyang may sumusunod sa kanya. Nakiramdam uli siya at sapagkakataong ito, mukhang bumibilis na ang pakakalakad nito. Mas lalo siyang kinabahan at natakot. Walang ibang tao sa madilim na lugar na iyon kung hindi siya at ang taong humahabol sa kanya. Kumaripas siya ng takbo at nawalan ng direksyon kung saan siya pupunta. Hanggang umabot siya sa isang building na may mga silid-aralang hindi ginagamit sa gabi. Gaya ng inaasahan, mas madilim ito dahil malayo ito sa mga silid-aralang ginagamit sa gabi. Nagtago siya sa isa sa mga silid-aralan doon ng biglang tumunog ang kanyang telepono. Si Jayson ay tumatawag! Sinagot niya ang tawag nito habang umiiyak ng dahil sa takot. “Babe, tulungan mo ako. Maawa ka sa akin.”; paghinigi ng tulong sa nobya. “Nasaan kah? Pupuntahan kita diyan.”; tanong ng nobya. “Nasa isa sa mga silid-aralan lamang ako dito sa bakanteng building tuwing gabi.”; sagot din ni Angela. Sa ingay na kanyang nagawa, malamang ay natunton na siya ng taong sumusunod sa kanya kaya dahan-dahan siyang kumilos upang umalis sa silid-aralang iyon. Ngunit, naabutan siya nito. Sinindi ang ilaw at nakita ang kangyang pagmumukha. Laking gulat sa nakita, “Ikaw?!; ang tanging nasambit ng dalaga. “Andyan ka lang pala”; sambit ng tao. “Pinatay ito, punit-punit ang damit at duguan sa mismong silid-aralang pinagtaguan bago namatay.”;kuwento ni Teng sa mga kaklase. “Alam niyo bah sino ang nakita sa crime scene?”;dagdag pa nito. “Ang kanyang nobya”. “Eh, nasaan ang nobya nito?”;tanong naman ni Shane. “Nasa Mental hospital atah. Eh, ayon kasi sa mga napagtanungan ko parang nabaliw atah...”; sagot ni Teng. “Hindi kaya... ang kanyang nobya mismo ang pumatay sa kanya?”; ideya ni Alex. “Posible, pero ang nakakapagtaka lang, walang finger prints ang katawan ni Angela. Kung walang Finger Prints, ibig sabihin ayaw itong magpahuli. Pero bakit hindi umalis si Jayson na alam naman niyang makikita siya ng mga pulis.”; pagtataka ni Teng. “eh, kasi nga baliw siya”; dagdag pa ni Raven. “Nakaktakot naman pala dito”; sabi ni Shane. “Balita ko, nasuspinde raw ang mga klase sa gabi”; pagbahagi ni Sean. “Ooh, nasuspinde nga ang klase... eh; Teng, anong nangayari sa guwardiya? Paano nakapasok ang killer?”; pagsagot at pagtataka ni Bill. “Sa tutuo lang, kahit ang guwardiya ay nasuspindido rin dahil sa nangyari. Pero, hula ko, taga looban lang ang suspect. Eh, nakapasok eh”; sagot ni Teng. “Tama, tagalooban nga kasi naman diba? Kailangan ng ID para makapasok? Malamang may ID yun ng ID dito.”; teorya ni Raven. “eh, Teng? Si Abbie? Diba best friend yun ni Angela?”; tanong ni Shane. “Si Abbie? Ooh. . . yun nga rin ang nakakapagtaka eh, nawala si Abbie matapos nangyari ang krimen.”; dagdag pa ni Teng. “pero, diba ang sabi nakabook na raw ito papuntang America matagal nah?”;tanong ni Shane. “Maaaring planado niya ang lahat”; teorya ni Sean. “Uy, uy,uy... wag niyo nga kayong agad mambintang ng ibang tao, masama yan.”; pakikisali ng kanilang guro sa philisophy na si Sr. Jo. “sir, pasensya ho. Nadala lang po sa diskusyon.”; palusot ni Alex. “Oh sha sige at may klase pa ako.”; pagpapaalam ng guro.

_That's all for now. . .  sorry. . . no time to continue it yet. . .

NatSci: Terrestrial Planets Part 2

VENUS

·         Usually referred to as the “evening star” or “morning star”

·         It is named for the Roman goddess of love, Venus

·         It is considered as a twin of the Earth. It is most like the earth in diameter and mass

·         Its surface has a perpetual layer of thick clouds that completely covers the planet

·         History:

Ø  Venus is the Roman name of the Greek goddess of love; Aphrodite. But there are references to Venus as far back as Babylonian cuneiformic texts, like the Venus table of Ammisaduqa which can be as old as 1600 BC

Ø  Ancient Egyptians thought that Venus was actually two separate objects… a morning star, and then a completely different evening star. The tradition carried on with the ancient Greeks as well.

Ø  The early mathematician Pythagoras was one of the first to recognize that the morning evening stars were actually the same object: Venus. So perhaps he was the first to “discover Venus”

Ø  The Maya civilization held Venus in high regard, and the planet figured prominently in their religious calendar

·         Major Features:

Ø  Equatorial diameter (12104 km)

Ø  Average distance from the sun (1.08 x 10⁸ km)

Ø  Inclination of equator to orbit (177’’)

Ø  Orbital period (0.6152 yr. (224.7 days))

Ø  Period of Rotation (243 days)

Ø  Mass (4.7 x 10²⁴ kg)

Ø  Average Density (5.24 gm/cm³)

Ø  Surface gravity (0.9 earth gravity)

Ø  Escape velocity (10.3 km/s)

Ø  Surface temperature (472 ⁰c)

·         Structure of Interior

Ø  The deep interior of Venus is probably like the Earth’s iron core and rock mantle

·         Orbit and Rotational Motion

Ø  Venus rotates backward or from east to west for a period of 243 days)

Ø  The sun rises in west and sets in the east

Ø  Venus rotates slowly that it cannot generate a strong magnetic field like the earth does

·         Surface

Ø  Rolling plains which cover 65% of the planet’s surface

Ø  Highlands which cover 8% of the planet’s surface

Ø  Lowlands which cover 27% percent of the planet’s surface

·         Venus’ temperature and atmosphere

Ø  96% carbon dioxide

Ø  3.5% Nitrogen

Ø  The rest are:

-          Water, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid

Ø  The pressure of the atmosphere is 90 times that on earth

Ø  Venussian clouds composed of sulfuric acid droplets and sulfuric crystals

Ø  The highest layer of clouds stretch from 58 – 68 km from the planet’s surface

Ø  The rest lies from 52 – 56 km above the surface

Ø  The rest lies from 52 – 56 km above the surface

Ø  The third and densest layer extends from 48 – 52 km

Ø  A thin laze ranges from 48 km down to 33 km

Ø  The Venus’ carbon dioxide atmosphere creates an extremely strong green house effect

Ø  The Warm surface radiates infrared radiation

Ø  No magnetic field is present, thus the solar wind is deflected by the uppermost layers of the atmosphere

Ø  The high temperature and density of Venus’ atmosphere create a high atmospheric pressure on the planet

·         Greenhouse effect in the atmosphere

Ø  Venus is now a furnace uninhabitable.

Ø  The greenhouse effect is caused by its atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide is its surface temperature over 400 ⁰c, and any water present in the atmosphere is equivalent to a layer of only three inches thick on the surface of the planet

MARS

·         IS THE 4^TH planet from the sun in the solar system

·         Named after the Roman god of war “Mars”

·         The Martian atmosphere is generally clear enough for astronomers on Earth to view its surface clearly

·         The force of gravity on the surface of Mars is about 1/3 of that on Earth. Mars has twice the diameter and twice the surface gravity of Earth’s moon

·         Often described as the red planet as the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance

·         Mariner and Viking reveal the true marvels of Mars

·         The Valles Marineris the grand canyon of Mars stretches 500 km (3000 miles) long 100

·         These frozen regions change in size during the cycles of the Martian seasons

·         A cycle resulting from the tilt of mars rotation axis in the same way that our cycle of seasons is caused by the tilt of earth’s rotation axis

·         Interior Surface

Ø  Scientist believe that Mars interior consists  of a crust, mantle and core as if Earth’s interior but they do not know the relative sizes of these components

Ø  Mars probably has a relatively thick crust beneath the _ bulge, an area of volcanic activity in the northern hemisphere. It may be as thick as

Ø  The core is

·         Interior surface

Ø  Mars does not, and probably did not ever, have active plate tectonics, or a crust made of separate sections that move about and sometimes crash into each other.

Ø  Though the Martian crust is not broken into separate plates, mars says liquid mantle has sculpted the surface of the planet.

·         Surface features

Ø  The surface of Mars would be a harsh place for surface of Earth than any other planet

Ø  The surface is probably cooler

·         Mars orbit and rotational motion

Ø  Mars’ average distance from the sun is roughly 230 million km (1.5 AU) and its orbital period is 687 (Earth) days

Ø  The solar day (or sol) on Mars is only slightly longer than an earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.224 seconds

Ø  A Martian year is equal to 1.8809 earth years, or 1 year, 320 days and 18.2 hours

Ø  The axial tilt of Mars is 25.19 degrees, which is similar to the axial tilt of the Earth

Ø  Currently the orientation of the north pole of Mars is close to the star Deneb

Ø  Mars passed an aphelion in March 2010 and its perihelion in March 2011. The next aphelion came in February 2012 and the next perihelion came in February 2012 and the next perihelion comes in January 2013

Ø  Mars has relatively pronounced “orbital eccentricity” of about 0.09 of the   

Early Astronomy (NatSci)

Early Astronomy

Astronomy is the oldest of the natural sciences, dating back to antiquity, with its origins in the religious, mythological, and astrological practices of pre-history: vestiges of these are still found in astrology, a discipline long interwoven with public and governmental astronomy, and not completely disentangled from it until a few centuries ago in the Western World (see astrology and astronomy). In some cultures astronomical data was used for astrological prognostication.

Ancient astronomers were able to differentiate between stars and planets, as stars remain relatively fixed over the centuries while planets will move an appreciable amount during a comparatively short time.

Early cultures identified celestial objects with gods and spirits.[1] They related these objects (and their movements) to phenomena such as rain, drought, seasons, and tides. It is generally believed that the first "professional" astronomers were priests, and that their understanding of the "heavens" was seen as "divine", hence astronomy's ancient connection to what is now called astrology. Ancient structures with possibly astronomical alignments (such as Stonehenge) probably fulfilled both astronomical and religious functions.

Calendars of the world have usually been set by the Sun and Moon (measuring the day, month and year), and were of importance to agricultural societies, in which the harvest depended on planting at the correct time of year. The most common modern calendar is based on the Roman calendar, which divided the year into twelve months of alternating thirty and thirty-one days apiece. In 46 BC Julius Caesar instigated calendar reform and adopted a calendar based upon the 365¼ day year length originally proposed by 4th century BC Greek astronomer Callippus.

Ancient astronomers had only their eyes with which to view the sky, but they had a very practical reason for studying the skies. Thousands of years ago, changes in the heavens were the only available clocks and calendars. The stars could also be used for navigation. See also Archaeoastronomy.

1200-1000 BC- Babylonians study 'astrology' - the belief that people's lives were influenced by the stars. They invented the 12 signs that are still used today. Around the same time, the Greeks name most of the stars and the constellations (Hercules, Perseus, Cassiopea and Cygnus). They also name the "the wandering stars." We now know these wandering stars as planets. The Greeks named these after their gods, Mercury, Venus, Mars & Jupiter.

332 BC- Alexander the Great builds a great museum-library-observatory at the mouth of the Nile in Alexandra.

280 BC- Aristarchus (Greek) stated that the Sun was the center of the 'solar system'. It was almost 1800 yrs later that his theory would be widely accepted.

240 BC- Eratosthenes figured out the size of the Earth.

Year O - At the time of Christ, Egyptians & Chinese were also heavily into the study of the stars.

120 AD- Egyptian astronomer Ptolemy (a.d. 90-168) is credited with the creation of the elaborate mechanism by which he (and later astronomers) calculated the movements of the stars and planets and the moon around the earth.

Ptolemy's most important work was completed early in his career, Almagest. Written originally in Greek, this work on astronomy was translated into Arabic in the ninth century, and in 1410 it was translated into Latin. While never completely unknown, its reappearance during the Renaissance buttressed Catholic doctrine on the centrality of human creation.

1054- Oriental astronomers recorded a breif flaring star, now known as a supernova.

1200 AD- the mariner's compass with a magnetic needle comes into use.

1510 AD - Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) Polish astronomer & mathemetician posumously publishs his theories that opposes common Christian beliefs of the time. The book stated that the sun was the center of our solar system. His book was banned by the Roman Catholic Church until 1835.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) The Italian physicist and astronomer first used a telescope from lenses he made himself, at the beginning of the 17th Century. The telescope was 30X. In 1609, he made a drawing of the moon for the world to see. Again, he stated that the Sun was the center of the universe, for this he was persecuted for going against the Church. The Inquisition forced him to repeal his discoveries in order avoid torture. He also discovered sun spots and Jupiter's 4 satellites.

1618- Johannes Kepler stated that the Earth moved around the Sun in an ellipse ( a squashed circle.) Isaac Newton (1643-1727) at the University of Cambridge, developed the laws of gravity. He coined the now famous term "and to every action there is always an equal and opposite or contrary, reaction." Newton also determined the moon's effect on the tides. He also discovered that the prism seperated light's component colours, which added to the study of stars through spectral analysis.  

1905- Albert Einstein published his Theory of Relativity. This led to the famous E=MC squared (energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared). This formula helped us understand the atom and the fact that gravity can bend light.

1924- Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) discovered that our Milky Way was not the center of the universe, but rather only one galaxy in among billions. He calulates the distance to the Andromeda and Triangulum 'nebulas'. He also measures the redshift of the spectra of the galaxies and states that the universe is expanding.

1967- A Pulsar (a form of radiation) is discovered at Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory at University of Cambridge.
