Animation: The Early Flash of an Exploding Star, Caught by Kepler

Publicado em 21 de mar de 2016

The brilliant flash of an exploding star’s shockwave—what astronomers call the “shock breakout” — is illustrated in this cartoon animation. The animation begins with a view of a red supergiant star that is 500 times bigger and 20,000 brighter than our sun. When the star’s internal furnace can no longer sustain nuclear fusion its core to collapses under gravity. A shockwave from the implosion rushes upward through the star’s layers. The shockwave initially breaks through the star’s visible surface as a series of finger-like plasma jets. Only 20 minute later the full fury of the shockwave reaches the surface and the doomed star blasts apart as a supernova explosion. This animation is based on photometric observations made by NASA’s Kepler space telescope. By closely monitoring the star KSN 2011d, located 1.2 billion light-years away, Kepler caught the onset of the early flash and subsequent explosion.

A Terra | Um Geoide

A Terra, antes chamada de redonda, hoje em dia é classificada como geoide. Ela nos parece redondinha quando a gente coloca os fluidos como oceano, nuvens e atmosfera.Uma imagem da terra geoide sem esses fluidos nos facilita o entendimento do tectonismo de placas.

O geoide é uma superfície equipotencial, isto é, onde o campo gravitacional é constante. Neste gif, as cores representam uma medida da variação da posição dessa superfície, que é influenciada pelos processos de convecção do manto.

LE CHANT DES PARTISANS | Anna Marly

Le chant des Partisans – interprété par Anna Marly
Née le 30 octobre 1917 à Saint-Pétersbourg, pendant la Révolution russe au cours de laquelle son père fut fusillé, Anna Betoulinsky quitte la Russie pour la France au début des années 1920 avec sa mère, sa sœur et sa nounou. À l’âge de treize ans la nounou lui offre une guitare. Ce cadeau dont elle ne se séparera jamais va bouleverser sa vie.

Quelques années plus tard, elle prend le nom d’Anna Marly (patronyme trouvé dans l’annuaire) pour danser dans les Ballets russes avant d’entamer une carrière de chanteuse dans les grands cabarets parisiens. Anna Marly connaît un nouvel exode en mai 1940 qui la mène, via l’Espagne et le Portugal, à Londres en 1941 où elle s’engage comme cantinière au quartier général des Forces françaises libres de Carlton Garden. C’est là qu’elle compose, à la guitare, en 1942, les paroles russes et la musique de son Chant des partisans. L’année suivante, toujours à Londres Joseph Kessel et Maurice Druon écrivent les paroles françaises de ce chant. Le Chant des partisans, « La Marseillaise de la Résistance », fut créé en 1943 à Londres. Immédiatement, il devint l’hymne de la Résistance française, et même européenne. Il est aussi un appel à la lutte fraternelle pour la liberté : « C’est nous qui brisons les barreaux des prisons pour nos frères » ; la certitude que le combat n’est jamais vain : « si tu tombes, un ami sort de l’ombre à ta place ».

Devenu l’indicatif de l’émission de la radio britannique BBC Honneur et Patrie, puis comme signe de reconnaissance dans les maquis, Le Chant des partisans était devenu un succès mondial. Anna avait choisi de siffler ce chant, car la mélodie sifflée restait audible malgré le brouillage de la BBC effectué par les Allemands.

Charlie Chaplin | The Great Dictator | with color

“I’m sorry but I don’t want to be an Emperor – that’s not my business – I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible: Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in: machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say “Do not despair”. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish. Soldiers! Don’t give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you – who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don’t hate – only the unloved hate. Only the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers – don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty. In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written: “the kingdom of God is within man “. Not one man, nor a group of men – but in all men – in you. You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy let us use that power – let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work, that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do not fulfil their promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfil that promise. Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers – in the name of democracy, let us all unite!”

Heros | David Bowie

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I’ll drink all the time
‘Cause we’re lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we’re lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, for ever and ever
What d’you say?

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall
(Nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes

We’re nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we’re lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

David Bowie | Heroes

David Bowie  nome artístico de David Robert Jones, Brixton, Londres, 8 de janeiro de 1947 — Manhattan, 10 de janeiro de 2016) foi um cantor,compositor, ator e produtor musical inglês. Por vezes referido como “Camaleão do Rock” pela capacidade de sempre renovar sua imagem, tem sido uma importante figura na música popular há cinco décadas e é considerado um dos músicos populares mais inovadores e ainda influentes de todos os tempos, sobretudo por seu trabalho nas décadas de 1970 e 1980, além de ser distinguido por um vocal característico e pela profundidade intelectual de sua obra.

Embora desde cedo tenha realizado o álbum David Bowie e diversas canções, Bowie só chamou a atenção do público em 1969, quando a canção “Space Oddity” alcançou o quinto lugar no UK Singles Chart. Após um período de três anos de experimentação, que incluem a realização de dois significativos e influentes álbuns, The Man Who Sold the World (1970) e Hunky Dory (1971), ele retorna em 1972 durante a era glam rock com um alter ego extravagante e andrógino chamado Ziggy Stardust, sustentado pelo sucesso de “Starman” e do aclamado álbum The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Seu impacto na época foi um dos maiores cultos já criados na cultura popular.  Em 1973, o disco Aladdin Sane levou Ziggy aos EUA. A vida curta da persona revelaria apenas uma das muitas facetas de uma carreira marcada pela reinvenção contínua, pela inovação musical e pela apresentação visual.

Salvador Dalí | Portrait d’artiste

Portrait d’un artiste qui fût à la fois peintre, sculpteur, publicitaire, qui côtoya et inspira nombre d’artistes de son époque.
Véritable génie, il s’imposa comme maître du dadaïsme puis du surréalisme et révolutionna l’art moderne.
Doué pour la provocation, autant que pour cultiver sa propre image, il a choqué ses contemporains, les a émus ou enragés, mais il ne laissait pas indifférent.

ramblin’ on my mind | autor: Robert Johnson | versões

Lyrics | Robert Johnson

I got ramblin’, I got ramblin’ on my mind
I got ramblin’, I got ramblin’ all on my mind
Hate to leave my baby, but you treats me so unkind

I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind
Little girl, little girl, I got mean things all on my mind
Hate to leave you here, babe, but you treats me so unkind

Runnin’ down to the station, catch the first mail train I see
(spoken: I think I hear her comin’ now)
Runnin’ down to the station, catch the old first mail train I see
I got the blues about Miss So-and-So and the child got the blues about me

And I’m leavin’ this mornin’, with my arm’ fold’ up and cryin’
And I’m leavin’ this mornin’, with my arm’ fold’ up and cryin’
Hate to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind

I got mean things, I’ve got mean things on my mind
I got mean things, I got mean things all on my mind
I got to leave my baby, well, she treats me so unkind
