Methane found on another planet

Methane on another planet

Astronomers announced on Wednesday that they had detected the existence of methane in the atmosphere of a planet 63 light years from Earth. The fact that methane has been found on another planet other than Earth has boosted the prospects that life could exist outside of our Solar System, albeit that this particular planet (Planet HD 189733b) appears to be way to hot to sustain life.

Details of Planet HD 189733b

Planet HD 189733b is in the constellation of Vulpecula, or the Little Fox. The planet is of a type of large planets called “hot Jupiters, it’s surface is scorched and liquid water could not exist.

“HD 189733b is closer to its star than Mercury is to our sun. It takes only two days to complete one orbit and has a sweltering temperature of 1,650 degrees Fahrenheit — hot enough to melt silver.”

The major importance of this discovery though, is the existence of methane, this means that if methane is on other planets, than some of the essential ingredients of life exist outside of our solar system.

Panther

The body language of this Panther is quite unexpected, I’d say it’s quite relaxed though attentive.

Now for a comment about the comment with regards to the Cat Washer… Hey it could have been worse, it could have been in a Front Load Washing Machine!

Obviously nobody with any empathy could physically harm a cat… but; there’s always a but, I’d say you’d have Buckley’s chance of sticking that cat in the same machine twice and some how I figure that all, or at least most would be forgiven come diner time.

These photos are a selection of the Hubble Heritage Image Gallery from heritage.stsci.edu. There are some amazingly colourful and vibrant shots of Galaxies and Nebula’s. The colours and formations are so incredible as to seem like they are fake.

Nice forward loop with back slap, degree of difficulty 1, entertainment value 6, plus a bonus point for comment and managing to walk off camera.


Hint, don’t take your eyes of the fast moving objects… especially when they are coming towards you.

Continuing on my recent theme of Pussycats… now this is what I call a Pussycat, it should have come with a saddle.

Cat Washing Machine

The previous Cat Dogpaddel post inspired me to do another… one that I’d been saving for a special ocassion.

How good is this machine, the cat get washed and a work out, and the owner of the machine gets entertained as well… how great is that, I want one!

It reminds me in some way of Ivory Ball, in a Ball, in a Ball etc. which I saw in Kenya when I was a kid. I have got patience and talent, but not that sort of talent or patience.
