火星上發現純度99%水冰-Yahoo!奇摩新聞

火星上發現純度99%水冰-Yahoo!奇摩新聞

【台灣醒報特約記者李柏勳報導】各國太空探測任務近來屢傳捷報!繼日前美國與印度競相宣佈在月球表面發現水分子存在的證據後,更遠處的紅色行星也傳回好消息:火星上存在的水冰,純度竟可高達99%!不過台大物理系教授孫維新回應說,此次發現範圍仍局限在小區域,不表示能住人,未來仍需要全面的含水量勘測,才可確定。
火星上有水,已經不是什麼新鮮事;科學家早就知道火星的北極冠,包含有大量的水冰。但這次由「火星勘測者號」(MRO)所發現的高純度水冰,地點卻位在火星北極與赤道的中間點附近。
來自亞利桑那大學的高解析攝像科學實驗小組成員尚.伯尼說,除了水冰存在的地點出乎意料,真正令人吃驚的,在於水冰所顯現出的高純度。
尚.伯尼表示,以往學界一般認為,水冰是存在於土壤顆粒的縫隙之中,所以冰體多半是由五成左右的水和五成左右的沙塵所構成。但是尚.伯尼的實驗小組藉由分析火星上因隕石撞擊,而新近暴露出地表的水冰的光譜資料,證實其成份有99%是純水。
火星上有高純度的水冰,這對於人類殖民火星的夢想來說,算不算是個好消息?臺灣大學物理學系教授孫維新認為,這次發現的範圍僅僅侷限在一個小區域,無法延伸適用到火星全球,因此縱然是個好消息,也是想像空間大於實際意義。
孫維新指出,以殖民、開發火星的觀點來看,真正重要的關鍵在於火星上的總含水量有多少,而非局部區域的含水度。因此,需要先對火星全球各地的含水量進行詳盡勘測,才能有後續更進一步的規劃。
尚.伯尼等人的這項發現,刊登在9月25日的《科學》期刊。

法國批准網路盜版法 非法下載者切斷連線

更新日期:2009/09/23 13:35 蔡筱穎

(法新社巴黎22日電) 法國國會今天最終批准一項引起世界關注的網路盜版法案,規定切斷非法下載者的網路連線。
消費者團體反對、但音樂和電影工業支持的這項法案,是全球對抗非法下載影片、音樂和電玩遊戲,有史以來最嚴格的法案之一。
法案投票結果是258票贊成對131票反對。
法國憲法委員會(Conseil constitutionnel)反對關鍵的規定,即設立一個新的國家機構「網路著作散佈及權利保護高等署」,簡稱「Hadopi」。這個機構有權懲罰非法下載音樂和影片的使用者,切斷其網路連線長達一年。
反對者表示,沒有給予涉嫌盜版者足夠的追索權來質疑指控,並認為,網路創新將使得逃避檢查的非法下載成為可能。
新法案變更的最後決定是,由法院而非國家機構決定是否切斷使用者的網路連線。(譯者:中央社蔡筱穎)

(原創)四號公園的樹木

DSCF0001

 

八二三紀念公園外圍,種的是樟樹,株高可達20公尺哦!讓我們拭目以待吧!

 

DSCF0002

不好意思,照到路人…我主要是要照樹啦。

DSCF0003

 

依這個比例,目前樹高大約十公尺左右,也就是還有十公尺可長,長成之後,大約會是現在的兩倍高。

 

DSCF0004

 

成排的樟樹ㄝ,讚!

黃脈刺桐

以道路上,紅衣服的路人方向為準,左手邊是黃脈刺桐,右手邊是樟樹。

DSCF0008

印度橡膠樹,株高可達30公尺哦!

DSCF0009

前方主体是印度橡膠樹,如果可長到30公尺的話,至少可長到目前的兩倍大!

DSCF0010

吊呼拉圈的那個,是印度橡樛樹。

DSCF0011

啥樹?檳榔樹?(哈,我也不知道)

DSCF0012

猜猜看,這樹有多高呢?

 

DSCF0013

 

可惜這個公園的水道還沒建起來,大概維護費貴的嚇人吧。

這是啥樹?榕樹?

Google

Google
這款代號為「咖啡因」的新搜尋系統,號稱速度是原來的兩倍,應會即將替換掉Google現行的搜尋系統。
就一般用戶觀點來看,「咖啡因」的介面與搜尋結果似乎沒什麼不同。但Google號稱新搜尋引擎「列表」(indexing)的速度是原來的兩倍,新引擎 的搜尋結果似乎也比舊引擎多。網路用戶現在都可以到http://www2.sandbox.google.com/實地試用「咖啡因」。

美國華盛頓州,舉行一場天梯會議,科學家計畫在2031年前打造3萬5千多公里的天梯,直達太空;這個構想中的天梯,是透過奈米管製成的纜線攀緣而上,為人類提供更環保更便宜的太空旅遊,探尋太空的奧秘。

OS:也就是最遲到了2031年,就會有3萬5千多公里可上太空的天梯!?
