Six strange things to space travelers 
Space is a strange place ... used to a world where there are the concepts of "up" and "down", with bodies that are the result of the evolution of life in an environment dominated by gravity and surrounded by physical and climatic phenomena are also conditioned by this fact, away from Earth , and touch, if only fleetingly, the ocean star, involves facing strange situations for an earthling. Let's look at six of the most curious. 1) boiling water in one big bubble : Anyone who has ever cooked (or at least has done a cafe) will seen something so basic is boiling water in a container, a simple process in which the heat source below a convection current generated by the weight difference between hot and cold water, since the latter tends to float to the top, cool and fall again, to restart and in cycle.
But this, as was found in an experiment conducted aboard a Space Shuttle does not occur in space, something that now seems obvious: Both the convection and buoyancy are directly linked to gravity, which governs cycle of ascent and descent, and so everything happens in a very different way ... not a small stream bubbles rising to the surface, but in its place is a single, huge and stays in the background, then, obviously, there is no "up" to where you can climb or a gravity that makes a difference in fish .. 2) Fire circular : Something similar to the fire, where the absence of a convection process and, thus, differentiation between hot and cold air prevents the rise in flame shape, as are used in Earth. A candle burning in the area (within a room air, of course) show a more than curious, almost magical, forming a plasma sphere around the point of ignition. 3) More numerous and more lethal : One of the biological enigmas arising from the absence of gravity that scientists have been investigating its effect on all types of bacteria whose colonies grow much faster (up to twice in some cases) than those located on the surface, and can be more dangerous to health. Are profound changes in the case of an experiment carried out with bacteria Salomella recorded changes in 167 genes. There are several possible explanations for this strange behavior the most interesting of which involves the action of a protein, Hfq, whose function is to control the activity of genes. It is believed that mechanical stress provokes the microgavedad bacterial cells, especially the way fluids move on their surfaces, makes the Hfq into a "survival mode", making them much more aggressive . 4) A bad place for a beer : And is that when gravity is absent family causes the bubbles we see in it or in any type of carbonated beverages, and that the Earth rise and disappear in glass surface, are retained in their internal there is nothing that push up ... as a result becomes a mixture of small spheres of gas and liquid rather indigestible, since the same is happening in the container goes into the stomach of the astronauts who make them, that neither can only erupt to leave that pesky gas. 5) A rose scent space: It is certainly the quintessential flower, the most cultivated and gifted the world, and therefore with countless varieties for sale, some really unique ... but none can compete in this area with a rose that has grown in space because their flavor is unlike any of their 'sisters' land. And is that weightlessness has a curious effect on her changing the oil it produces and that are responsible for its characteristic odor. Needless to say, not something that can be found in stores ... but the roses of the future sellers might make good business selling them to love to travel full moon (literally) of Honey. 6) sweats in orbit : If you do not like sweating possibly space is no place for you, all thanks to the absence of convection currents, which causes the heat generated by a human body does not rise to through the skin, but remain inside. The answer to this situation by our body is cool to sweat abundantly ... what is even worse for astronauts, as there evaporates in the form of drops, but simply accumulates on the skin, making the trip quite humid. 
What on Earth in a column of bubbles rising in the space manifests itself as something very different, as we see in these comparison shots ... both are doing exactly the same but the differences are dramatic. 
to romantic dinners by candlelight would be possible in space ... but it is clear that they would not have the same charm.

into the realm of small worlds 
Dawn awakens from its hibernation. A dark sky full of stars ... an unremarkable photograph itself and away from the beauty of many others, but whose value is not so much by what we see in it as he took it. And after "sleep" for six months probe Dawn awoke from his long sleep to start preparing for your arrival to the asteroid Vesta, scheduled for next July. " gently woke Last week three of the science instruments on Dawn, who have spent most of his time sleeping in these three years and a half year journey to Vesta. This activity confirms that we way of the first close examination of one of the last unexplored worlds in the inner solar system "explains Robert Mase, Dawn Project. And the data suggest the perfect state of health of these, both mechanical components and electrical system and software. You optical system, both visible and infrared light, were reactivated Espectrómetero which will examine the mineralogy of the surface Vesta and Ceres as neutron detector and gamma rays, which will enter into its basic components. These three are the mainstay of the capacity of this probe, and its awakening is the first sign of how close we are to launch the most ambitious mission in the asteroid belt. In these four months will be taking pictures Dawn in order to adjust the path ahead of their encounter with Vesta also to achieve the first images with some resolution of this large asteroid, it'sa world in itself with its more than 500 miles in diameter and complex structure. Once I went into orbit will remain one year, until July 2012 when, thanks to Ion drive, will drive to her second and final goal Ceres, the largest of all asteroids, which will arrive in mid 2015 . A simple picture, a dark sky full of stars ... a picture of the ocean star that marks the beginning of a new adventure. Ahead we expect the two most important bodies of the realm that lies between Mars and Jupiter , two worlds in their own right, and unexplored ancient fossils from the early Solar System awaiting our arrival. 
Vesta seen through the Hubble, and second most massive object in the asteroid belt and the third in size with a diameter of about fifty-third miles and an estimated mass of 9% of the belt entire asteroid. It is believed he suffered a great impact about 1000 million years that caused him to lose 1% of their mass, leaving a large crater at the south pole and creating a cloud of debris most of which even today are rushing into Earth and form a significant proportion of the total. 
Dawn's career ... first stop Vesta, Ceres second and last. 
great adventure begins ... the asteroid belt, close but still relatively unexplored, waiting for us.

The many faces of a farewell 
While Discovery is already part of the past as an active element of the space program, one of his "brothers" is beginning the way of what will be his final mission ... the Endeavour , the most youngest of the three, is already at Launch Pad 39A, where is scheduled to take off next April 19. Is this the 25 th and last flight, during which transport the ISS the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer , possibly the scientific instrument more complex than ever worn the space and aims to search for signs of antimatter Dark matter in the deep universe, which will expand our knowledge of the remote past and the origin of the universe. We are on the last page before the final end of SpaceShuttle , and therefore each of the two flights that remain, and they represent each of them, an end to the long life of its protagonist, are receiving an audiovisual coverage, leaving a huge legacy of photographs and videos intended to be the brilliant epilogue a long history that began more than 30 years. Now therefore, let the words and are the images speak for themselves, while we watch from many angles at Endeavour, ready now to start his final adventure.
