breath in breathe out
tell me all of your doubt
everybody leads this way
just the same
breath in breathe out
move on and break down
everyone goes away
I will stay
We push and pull, and fall down sometimes
I'm not letting go, you hold the other line
Cause there is a light
In your eyes,...in your eyes
Hold on hold tight
From out of your sight
Everything keeps moving on, moving on,
Hold on hold tight
Make it throught another night
Everyday there comes the sun with the dawn
We push and pull, and fall down sometimes
I'm not letting go, you hold the other line
Cause there is a light
In your eyes,...in your eyes
There is a light
In your eyes,...in your eyes

Breath in and breath out
Breath in and breath out
Breath in and breath out
Breath in and breath out
Look back and look right
Into the moon at night
Everything looks like the stars in your arms

There is a light
In your eyes,... in your eyes
There is a light
In your eyes,... in your eyes
There is a light
In your eyes,... in your eyes
There is a light
In your eyes,... in your eyes'

ASTRONOMIA - Primeira Molécula Orgânica Descoberta Fora do Planeta Terra

An organic molecule has been spotted for the first time in the atmosphere of a planet outside our solar system, a key step toward possibly finding signs of life on a distant world, scientists said.

Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope found methane in the atmosphere of a planet called HD 189733b, which is about the size of Jupiter and is 63 light-years from Earth, they said in research published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.

Organic molecules contain carbon-hydrogen bonds and can be found in living things. Methane, for instance, is found in natural gas and cattle belches.

But the scientists were quick to point out that this distant planet -- with atmospheric temperatures around 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius) -- is not thought to be a candidate for hosting any form of life.

"For this specific planet we observed, methane cannot be produced biologically," Giovanna Tinetti of the University College London, one of the researchers, said by e-mail.

"It's highly unlikely that cows could survive here," Tinetti joked.

"The idea is to repeat the same kind of observations in the future for planets which are less hostile to the development and evolution of life," she added.

HD 189733b is one of more than 270 planets to be discovered orbiting stars other than our sun -- called extrasolar planets. It is a "hot Jupiter" type, similar to the gas giant Jupiter in our solar system but reaching scorching temperatures because they orbit so closely to their stars.

This one whizzes around its star roughly every two Earth days.

Methane, composed of carbon and hydrogen, has been detected on many of the planets in our solar system.

"Under the right conditions, methane can contribute to the formation of amino acids," an important building block of life, said another member of the research group, Mark Swain of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

The scientists were able to confirm the previously reported discovery of water molecules in the planet's atmosphere.

They made their observations as the planet passed in front of its parent star in what is called a transit. The scientists used a method called transit spectroscopy -- breaking light up into its various colors.

"You can think of the prism making a rainbow spectrum when you shine light through it. And we do this when the planet passes in front of its parent star. So what we see is the starlight filtered through the planet's atmosphere. The molecules in the atmosphere of the planet leave a fingerprint in the spectrum," Swain said in a telephone interview.

Separately, other astronomers used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the Keck II Telescope in Hawaii to find water molecules in disks of dust and gas around two young stars.

The water is at the center of spinning disks of particles that may eventually coalesce to form planets around the stars DR Tau, 457 light-years from Earth and AS 205A, 391 light-years from Earth, they reported in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard
(óscar 2008 para melhor canção)

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

FÍSICA - 20 Coisas que não Sabiamos sobre... RELATIVIDADE

20 Things You Didn't Know About... Relativity
Galileo invented it, Einstein understood it, and Eddington saw it.by Susan Kruglinski

20 A melhor descrição que Einstein deu sobre a Relatividade: "Ponha a mão numa cafeteira com água a ferver durante um minuto e isso irá parecer uma hora. Sente-se junto a uma mulher bonita durante uma hora e isso irá parecer um minuto. Isto é a Relatividade".

1 Who invented relativity? Bzzzt—wrong.

Galileo hit on the idea in 1639, when he showed that a falling object behaves the same way on a moving ship as it does in a motionless building.
2 And Einstein didn’t call it relativity. The word never appears in his original 1905 paper, “On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies,” and he hated the term, preferring “invariance theory” (because the laws of physics look the same to all observers—nothing “relative” about it).
3 Space-time continuum? Nope, that’s not Einstein either. The idea of time as the fourth dimension came from Hermann Minkowski, one of Einstein’s professors, who once called him a “lazy dog.”
4 But Einstein did reformulate Galileo’s relativity to deal with the bizarre things that happen at near-light speed, where time slows down and space gets compressed. That counts for something.
5 Austrian physicist Friedrich Hasenöhrl published the basic equation E = mc2 a year before Einstein did.
6 Never heard of Hasenöhrl? That’s because he failed to connect the equation with the principle of relativity. Verdammt!
7 Einstein’s full-time job at the Swiss patent office meant he had to hash out relativity during hours when nobody was watching. He would cram his notes into his desk when a supervisor came by.
8 Although Einstein was a teetotaler, when he finally completed his theory of relativity, he and his wife, Mileva, drank themselves under the table—the old-fashioned way to mess with the space-time continuum.
9 Affection is relative. “I need my wife, she solves all the mathematical problems for me,” Einstein wrote while completing his theory in 1904. By 1914, he’d ordered her to “renounce all personal relations with me, as far as maintaining them is not absolutely required for social reasons.”
10 Rules are relative too. According to Einstein, nothing travels faster than light, but space itself has no such speed limit; immediately after the Big Bang, the runaway expansion of the universe apparently left light lagging way behind.
11 Oh, and there are two relativities. So far we’ve been talking about special relativity, which applies to objects moving at constant speed. General relativity, which covers accelerating things and explains how gravity works, came a decade later and is regarded as Einstein’s truly unique insight.
12 Pleasure doing business with you, chum(p): When Einstein was stumped by the math of general relativity, he relied on his old college pal Marcel Grossmann, whose notes he had studied after repeatedly cutting class years earlier.
13 Despite that, the early version of general relativity had a major error, a miscalculation of the amount a light beam would bend due to gravity.
14 Fortunately, plans to test the theory during a solar eclipse in 1914 were scuttled by World War I. Had the experiment been conducted then, the error would have been exposed and Einstein would have been proved wrong.
15 The eclipse experiment finally happened in 1919 (you’re looking at it on this very page). Eminent British physicist Arthur Eddington declared general relativity a success, catapulting Einstein into fame and onto coffee mugs.
16 In retrospect, it seems that Eddington fudged the results, throwing out photos that showed the “wrong” outcome.
17 No wonder nobody noticed: At the time of Einstein’s death in 1955, scientists still had almost no evidence of general relativity in action.
18 That changed dramatically in the 1960s, when astronomers began to discover extreme objects—neutron stars and black holes—that put severe dents in the shape of space-time.
19 Today general relativity is so well understood that it is used to weigh galaxies and locate distant planets by the way they bend light.
