[b][/b] The American space agency Nasa has launched
its latest mission to Mars.
InSight will be the first probe to focus its
investigations predominantly on the interior of
the Red Planet.
The lander - due to touch down in November -
will put seismometers on the surface to feel for
"Marsquakes".
These tremors should reveal how the
underground rock is layered - data that can be
compared with Earth to shed further light on the
formation of the planets 4.6 billion years ago.
"As seismic waves travel through [Mars] they
pick up information along the way; as they travel
through different rocks," explained Dr Bruce
Banerdt, InSight's principal investigator. "And all
those wiggles you see on seismograms -
scientists understand how to pull that
information out. After we've gotten many, many
Marsquakes from different directions, we can
put together a three dimensional view of the
inside of Mars."
Thick fog did not affect the launch on an Atlas
rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in
California at 04:05 local time (12:05 BST) on
Saturday.
Nasa last sent seismometers to the Red Planet
on the Viking landers in the 1970s. But these
missions failed to detect ground vibrations
because the instruments were positioned on the
body of the probes.
All they recorded was the landers' shaking as
the wind whistled by. InSight, by contrast, is
going to place its seismometers directly in the
Martian dirt.
How many quakes will be detected over the
course of a year is uncertain, but estimates
suggest perhaps a couple of dozen. They are
likely to be small - probably well less than a
Magnitude 3, which many people on Earth would
sleep through.
However, even these gentler signals will carry
sufficient information about the subsurface to
allow scientists to construct a model of Mars'
depths and composition.
The planet should have a metal core, a dense
mantle and a lighter crust - but where precisely
the boundaries lie is speculative.
The seismometer experiment is French-led. The
European nation has provided the broadband
sensors that will detect low-frequency vibrations
of the ground, while the UK has contributed a
trio of microseismometers, about the size of a
pound coin, that will go after the higher
frequencies.
A good source of these short period vibrations is
likely to be meteorite impacts.
The Franco-British systems should be able to
locate the origin of quakes to within a few
hundred km. "The pattern of Marsquakes is
going to be very important," said Prof Tom Pike
from Imperial College London.
"On Earth, earthquakes are very much aligned
with the edge of tectonic plates.
"We don't think that plate tectonics is active on
Mars but we fundamentally don't know at the
moment, and so just seeing the pattern of
seismicity that comes in - that's going to be just
a critical bit of information in and of itself."
Researchers believe Mars once had a liquid core,
as evidenced by the magnetism this generated
and which is still retained in many of the
planet's rocks. Whether any of that ancient fluid
persists is something InSight will test by using
radio equipment to observe how Mars shifts on
its axis of rotation.
"If you take a raw egg and a cooked egg and you
spin them, they wobble differently because of
the distribution of liquid in the interior," explained
InSight's deputy project scientist, Dr Suzanne
Smrekar.
"So by tracking our spacecraft very precisely,
we're able to see how Mars wobbles and that
really tells us a lot of information about the core
of Mars."
For those who recall the ill-fated Beagle Mars
lander from 2003, there will be interest in the
heat probe InSight plans to deploy. This
incorporates a hammer to dig itself up to 5m
into the ground.
The technology, from Germany, has heritage in
the "mole" designed for Beagle. InSight's heat
probe will provide information on how much
energy inside Mars is available to drive changes
at the surface.
The mission has a few weeks to get off Earth
before Mars' movement in its orbit around the
Sun makes a journey between the planets start
to become impractically long. But assuming
InSight gets up and away cleanly, it will have a
six-month cruise before landing on 26 November.
As ever, getting down in one piece will not be
easy. Like all surface missions before it, InSight
will have to endure the "seven minutes of terror"
- the time it takes for a spacecraft entering the
top of Mars' atmosphere at 6km/s to slow itself
to a standstill at the touchdown point.

Swedish DJ Avicii, who has collaborated with the likes of Madonna and Coldplay, has died in Oman at the age of 28. Avicii's club anthems include Wake Me Up, Hey Brother, and recently, Lonely Together with Rita Ora. His representative said in a statement: "It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii. "The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time." No cause of death was announced, and Avicii's representative said no further statements would be issued. Avicii had struggled with some health issues in the past, having his appendix and gall bladder removed in 2014 . He announced his retirement from touring in 2016 , partly because of the health problems. "I know I am blessed to be able to travel all around the world and perform, but I have too little left for the life of a real person behind the artist," he said at the time. Who was Avicii? One of the biggest names in dance music of the last 10 years, he had a catalogue full of pumping, uplifting, house smashes *He started his career when he won a production competition held by Pete Tong in 2008 *He went on to notch up 11 billion streams on Spotify and was the first EDM DJ to stage a worldwide arena tour *He was nominated for two Grammy Awards and had nine UK top 10 singles, including two number ones *He suffered from health problems including acute pancreatitis, in part due to excessive drinking

A sleeping passenger on a train was shocked to
wake up to find "£100 under a napkin" on her
lap.
Ella Johannessen was discussing how "stressed
and upset" she was about her finances during a
phone call to her mother while travelling on
Saturday.
After waking up from a nap she found the gift,
which she says will stop her from going over her
overdraft limit.
A Facebook post she wrote hoping to find the
person who left the money has been shared
more than 2,800 times.

The 23-year-old Leeds Beckett University
graduate told the BBC she got into debt during
her final year of study after giving up her part-
time job to concentrate on her course.
She boarded a Virgin Trains East Coast service
to Leeds at Peterborough station on Saturday
afternoon and proceeded to call her mother.
'Fantastic human being'
"I spoke to her about how little money I had,
how worried I was about my finances and I got
upset," she wrote.
After waking up, she found the money and
started to cry as she was "incredibly thankful"
for the kind stranger's help.
She said: "After a terrible 18 months where I lost
my father and both of his parents it showed me
that there is kindness and good people in the
world.
"I would like to tell the person that they are a
fantastic human being and it has really lifted my
spirits and massively helped me out."
Ms Johannessen, who lives in Leeds, said she
would be "passing the kindness on" by
volunteering for a charity.

this is the worst state u have ever seen, the previous govt started construction a year b4 election and managed to construct some useless road with gutter that doesnt flow, this one now has come, election is by the corner he has startex to do his own construction, funny enough he is destroying the roads and gutter done by the previous governor to repair them, dats how the next govt will come and continue their scam, jst keeping the statr stagnant,

a typical Nigerian girl now goes out with a pepper spray, as if she knew someone was going to assault her....sha may the best lier loosse

Survivors of London's Grenfell Tower fire are to be rehomed in a luxury housing development in the heart of Kensington, the government has said. Sixty-eight one, two and three-bedroom flats have been acquired at the Kensington Row development, it added. The apartments are "newly built social housing" in a complex where the price of private homes starts at £1.5m. At least 79 people died and many more were left homeless after fire engulfed the North Kensington tower a week ago. There was widespread criticism and anger from residents at the slow and chaotic official response to the devastating blaze. 'Rebuild lives' The upmarket Kensington Row complex includes a 24-hour concierge service and a private cinema, the website of developer St Edward's says. Each new home will be fully furnished, and the government says will be completed to a high- specification. The flats are expected to be completed by the end of July. It is unclear whether the new tenants from Grenfell will have access to the same facilities as those in the private properties, some of which cost as much as £8.5m. The Department for Communities and Local Government said extra public money had been found so the flats could be fitted out more quickly, and more builders had been taken on. It said the "expectation was that these new properties would be offered as one of the options to permanently rehouse residents from Grenfell Tower". Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said Grenfell residents had been through "some of the most harrowing and traumatic experiences imaginable". "Our priority is to get everyone who has lost their home permanently rehoused locally as soon as possible, so that they can begin to rebuild their lives," he added. source: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40357280
