However, he had predicted would be a dark horse because in recent days for her support soared. Rick Santorum, who was born on May 10, 1958, still less so sure he can win. He just targeting third position.

In the hours before the caucuses, the CNN report, he asked if he was sure to win in the Iowa Caucus. He replied, "Yes, I feel if we can reach the top three, it would be something great."

In the Izvestia report * * mentioned, former Chief of Staff of the Russian Navy Admiral Viktor Kravchenko said that the presence of Russian military forces in Syria will have a positive impact for the Middle East region, because it can prevent the outbreak of armed conflict between Syrian troops with NATO forces. "The presence of military forces outside the NATO force would benefit the region as it will prevent the outbreak of armed conflict," said Kravchenko.

Be Astronauts Not That Must Be Astronomers

2011-11-29T17:26:00.000-08:00

The term astronaut and astronomer born from almost the same syllable. Yet by definition, duties and functions, both are clearly different. Although similar, it seems more popular than astronauts astronomer or astronomy experts.

Being an astronaut could certainly get into the list of most favorite ideal for children attending elementary school. The proof, Neil Armstrong's name is still remembered as the first person to tread feet to the moon, although many children and even adults who doubts the truth.

Regardless of the controversy, there are facts that can not be denied that the role of the astronauts actually not be separated from the scientific analysis presented astronomers. Astronomlah who study the moon, measure the circumstances, to conclude that the moon could a man like Neil Armstrong stepped on.

Evidence that astronomy is less popular in the community such as the misconception that studying astronomy is to become an astronaut.

For astronomers, the suspicion it may only be taken as an anecdote or a smile of amusement. But for the layman, it could be trusted to remember the term astronauts and astronomers are formed from a similar vocabulary.

Often in combination meaning astronauts and astronomers could be due to low interest in studying the science of astronomy. So to further introduce the science of astronomy, since 1999 Bosscha open for public visits.

The proof, the number of visitors per year Bosscha reach 60 thousand more or up to 600 people per day.

One visitor Bosscha, Zaenal Arifin, a teacher teaching physics subjects from a high school in Tangerang, said Bosscha open to the general public interest is expected to encourage students to study astronomy.

Zaenal said, the students actually have a high enthusiasm, if invited to the observatory was established Dutch scientist. It's just that enthusiasm does not necessarily make the student becomes interested in astronomy or even aspire to be an astronomer.

"Studying the space it is not easy. Basically obviously must be good at math, and we know relatively seldom subjects counting student demand, "said Zaenal, in his busy guiding his protege
visits to Bosscha.

In addition, teachers are also very important role in directing interest in his students. For example, can convey the lessons of mathematics or physics in an interesting and not boring. Therefore, the ideal pupil depending on the direction and guidance of the teacher. "Including that students are motivated to become an astronomer," he added.

Researchers Bosscha Observatory Institute Teknologi Bandung (ITB) Evan Akbar I explain, in simple astronomy is the study of outer space as the moon, solar system, galaxies, stars, and other space objects that are farther from the Earth's atmosphere. Astronomy also explains when and how the universe was formed.

"One of the easiest tasks astronomers understand is counted when a meteor crashed to earth," explained Evan.

Evan, who is also the Coordinator Visits in Bosscha, said there were also visitors who are not familiar with the simple definition of astronomy.

No wonder that astronomy is often associated with space missions like the astronauts. Even astronomy is also associated with activity as did the weather forecasts Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).

In fact, although BMKG and astronomy both examine objects outside the earth, but beyond the reach of astronomical object that is studied outside the Earth's atmosphere. While researching BMKG only objects that are within the Earth's atmosphere.

So also with the roles and tasks that astronauts are people who actually carry out the mission in the celestial body. You can be sure that the astronauts were guided in its mission of astronauts. The astronauts are usually people from the military, not civilians.

"And do not ever leave astronomnya own. Even if there are civilians who go, the purpose only tourism, "he said.

Why do astronauts retrieved from the military? Therefore, the task in space is needed physical strength. That task can only be met by the military who are trained physically.

A simple example, physical force is necessary when air travel use the rocket ship. With high speed, an astronaut will receive a weight of as much as 10 times their weight Grafity. That is, the weight gained during flight will increase 10-fold of normal weight. Civilians can not possibly accept the burden of it, is different from the military who had been trained to accept the burden of it.

In space, astronauts must perform missions in accordance with the interests of astronomy. For example they have a duty to take the rocks on the moon, but they could not examine the rocks.

The study will be submitted to the astronomers who are on earth. So the astronauts just know what the mission was created, rather than examining the findings of the mission.
