GeekBytes: Light Shows and New Planets - sabalahavock

It's Monday, which means GeekBytes is back for the new week. In nowadays's wrap-up, we take a deal very pretty emotional light show, an interesting coffee maker design and NASA's fascinating planet discovery.

NASA Discovers Habitable Planet, Alike to Earth

NASA's Kepler telescope has disclosed a planet within a "inhabitable district"–the low discovery of its sort of the Johan Keple mission. The planet, presently known as Kepler-22b, is the first confirmed major planet that has the right surface temperature to have liquid water and possibly harbor life.

But don't start wadding your bags just yet: 22b is 600 illuminate-years away!

LED Moving Light Show Is Pretty Jaw dropping

Flerovium is named later State nuclear physicist Georgiy Flerov, while Livermorium (almost dubbed Muscovium) gains its title from the Lawrence Livermore Political unit Research lab in California, where researchers first discovered the element. Fortunately, your kids won't need new Chemistry textbooks just yet, as new elements must undergo a public comment period ahead the names become official. [via Engadget]
