FRATE LUPO, Il ritorno, di Luca Reteuna
"Prendi l’anima della luna, prendi l’essenza di una voce, falle vorticare nelle caverne dello spazio,
per creare l’ululato lamentoso del lupo.
Gli occhi dorati profondi, che guardano fisso attraverso il buio per scoprire i segreti della notte,
distolgono lo sguardo dall’uomo spaventato."
Emily Ham (9 anni, Cwmdu School, Powys, UK)

a Martian mystery
A remote Curiosity rover hack just helped crack a Martian mystery
Curiosity was sent to the Red Planet to search for life. Until researchers on Earth tweaked its innards and made it detect whiskers of Martian gravity.

By ROBIN ANDREWS
"While one Martian rover, Opportunity, has died, its younger cousin Curiosity has just solved a mystery. It measured tiny changes in the Red Planet’s gravity, allowing its mission team back home at NASA to understand how a huge, 3.4-mile high mountain the rover is exploring, had formed. ... "

Spins and Dominos
Physicists Found a Brand-New Kind of Magnet Hiding in a Uranium Compound

"Under normal circumstances, the magnetic moments in a bar of iron become aligned gradually, without sharp transitions between magnetized and unmagnetized states. In a singlet-based magnet, the jump between states is sharper. Spin excitons, usually temporary objects, become stable when they cluster together. And when those clusters form, they start a cascade. Like dominoes falling into place, spin excitons fill the entire substance very quickly and suddenly, and align with one another.
That's what seems to be happening in USb2."
Archaeoastronomical analysis of the Roman Colonia Marciana Ulpia Traiana Thamugadi (Timgad) , founded at the sunrise of Trajan's Birthday
Archaeoastronomical analysis of the Roman Colonia Marciana Ulpia Traiana Thamugadi (Timgad) , founded at the sunrise of Trajan's Birthday
It was told that the Roman Colonia Marciana Ulpia Traiana Thamugadi (Timgad in Algeria), founded in 100 AD, had been oriented to the sunrise on the day of Trajan’s birthday, given as September 18. This Gregorian date corresponds to September 17 of the Julian Calendar. Here we use software such as CalSKY and Stellarium to investigate the sunrise azimuth and compare it to the direction of the decumanus of the Roman town. After the archaeoastronomical analysis we can conclude that the assertion concerning the orientation of Timgad to the sunrise of the day of Trajan’s birthday could be true.
