This photo was taken by Wally Pacholk in the Mojave desert near Victorville. Annual meteor showers increasing in intensity in this decade, more than 160 meteors per hour with a speed of 22 mile / second.
Mr. Pacholka profession as an accountant and has won the award astro-photographer, the photo has been used by NASA and National Geographic.
He said "I love the night sky, I could spend hours looking at the sky, until friends and parents ask, why??" "so I started photographing sky to show what they missed"

Massachusetts: The researchers found a space near a planet like the Earth: a water content. Mengorbiti planet with a star 40 light years distance is believed to be the first planet like Earth and the atmosphere. As quoted by the journal Nature, by the end of this December, astronomers named the planet is GJ 1214b.
Planet's size is only about 2.7 times the size of Earth with a mass about 6.5 times the weight of the Earth. Exact weight species, the scientists suspect Planet GJ 1214b contains 3 / 4 water with a solid core of iron and nickel. While the atmosphere composed of hydrogen and helium. "On this planet, not a single continent that floats on top or up from the water," said David Charbonneau, Chief Researcher Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United Serikat.Data mention also that GJ 1214b hotter than the Earth . As for the atmosphere, ten times thicker than the Earth. Conditions were difficult for any chance to live. Atmospheric pressure of the planet's surface is a huge and very little light through the mist difficult to achieve the planet's oceans. (EPN)

Pal know what the comet?
comet's celestial bodies orbit around the sun but oval, where there are close to the side near the sun and the side away from the sun.
Recently NASA accidentally record the moments when the comet burn in the sun, this diisebabkan orbit too close to the sun.
Space Agency to focus on the sun, SOHO Solar Observatory and Helioscopic catch Sungrazer Kreutz comet trail.
Recording spread over youtube and astronomy site or blog.
SOHO say this record using the coronagraph, which can block the shining objects ...
Because Sungrazer Kreutz comet's orbit is too close to the sun is visible in the recording he did not return from the opposite side of the sun, the comet was allegedly destroyed ....
