I'm glad you like the article. I'm trying to do a paste for the an universe chart, but it seems it doesn't work. Sorry, I'll try to find another solution, as I think it's worth it. Universe.chart.doc

Hi Martin, I think you'll be interested by this : I took this info from an article on space.com. If you are interested to read the article completly, let me know. I'm pretty sure we'll find one day the entire explanation for DM and DE. One thing is sure : they exist and you can find them all into this Universe. You know that even for discovering atoms, scientists needed a long time to determine what they are ! Alexa

Hi Martin, No, I'm not sophisticated at all. I've just had this conversation already on another forum. We weren't able to go far through it, as we were only two members interested on the subject. So, we dropped it. I agree the DM and DE are related. I thought LAMBDA means Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis. Anyway, if you are able to find more about the DE, keep me posted. Thanks, Alexa

Martin, Even the smartest astronomers were't able to understand the dark energy. So, we may be forgiven about that. I know, Einstein had tried to explain it. Maybe, he just didn't have the time to finish his research. Astronomers expect with WMAP to understand better the expansion of the Universe and the role of dark enery. David Spergel, a Princeton Univ. and a member of the WMAP science team said about it : I've got a nice picture about the composition of the universe made up of dark energy, dark matter, and ordinary matter, but I have no idea how to insert it in this post. As you can see, I'm new on this forum, so I have to learn how to navigate through first. Alexa

NASA has been studying the possibility to find proves of life on Mars. That's way, Odyssey spacecraft has been examining Mars since February 2002. The twin rovers, Spirit and Opportunity took a lot of pictures since their landing this summer. No Martien around till now. Here are a few of Odyssey's other important accomplishments so far: - As summer came to northern Mars and the north polar covering of frozen carbon dioxide shrank, Odyssey found abundant frozen water in the north, too. - Infrared mapping showed that a mineral called olivine is widespread. This indicated the environment has been quite dry, because water exposure alters olivine into other minerals. -Findings indicated the amount of frozen water in some relatively warm regions on Mars is too great to be in equilibrium with the atmosphere, suggesting that Mars may be going through a period of climate change. Features visible near small, young gullies in some Odyssey images may be slowly melting snowpacks left over from a martian ice age. -The first experiment sent to Mars specifically in preparation for human missions found that radiation levels around Mars, from solar flares and cosmic rays, are two to three times higher than around Earth. -Odyssey's camera system obtained the most detailed complete global maps of Mars ever, with daytime and nighttime infrared images at a resolution of 100 meters (328 feet).

Hm. You have to be careful where the drug comes from, too. Generic industry is not so big after all.

Yeah, I'm adicted to my avatar, too. What about dark enery ?

Dark matter makes up about 23 percent of the universe's mass-energy budget. Normal matter, the stuff of stars, planets and people, contributes just 4 percent. The rest of the universe is driven by an even more mysterious thing called dark energy. from the article : Dark enery : Astronomers Still 'Clueless' About Mystery Force Pushing Galaxies Apart, by Andrew Chaikin (http://www.space.com)
