Seeing Flowers Reproduce On Genome Island in Second Life
This is a neat idea - replicating genome-based reproduction on Second Life, at a scale where people can see the mechanisms at work. Perhaps when they can see evolution at work on this scale it won't be so mysterious to people. More...
La sonde M.P.O. doit permettre de réaliser une cartographie complète de Mercure, d’étudier sa composition et sa structure interne. La sonde MMO, quant à elle, a pour mission d’analyser le champ magnétique et la magnétosphère de Mercure. Les données recueillies permettront de mieux comprendre la formation et l’évolution des planètes internes, catégorie de planètes proches de leur étoile, dont fait partie la Terre.
