Hypervelocity star gets “kicked out” of the galaxy—and it’s happening right now. Most stars in the Milky Way and others galaxys stars hypervelocity have the same system.
Hypervelocity Stars near high than Speed of Light fast enough to escape the gravitational grasp of the Milky Way galaxy. The idea that stars live in galaxies has since the 1920’s. It took bu today technology international team has discovered a surprising new class of “hypervelocity stars” you are interested in escaping from Earth or others planet; in later now you will consider the escape velocity from stars,all time high than galaxies, and even black holes,about three times faster than a typical velocity.

About Lonar Crater
Lonar has been formed naturally due to a hypervelocity meteorite impact and it ranks third in largest salt water lake in the world. It is a huge and naturally formed salt lake. It was discovered by a British officer J.E. Alexander in 1823.
The Lonar crater is only one of it's kind in the word that has been formed from Basaltic rock. The crater of the lake is 7 times saltier than the sea water. Lonar lake is situated in Buldana district on the border of Lonar village 90 kms away from Buldana city. The meteorite which formed the lake hit the earth 50,000 years back forming the lake 150 metres deep with 1.8 kms in diameter.
Lonar crater has almost perfectly circular shape with a circumference of 6 kms at the top and 4 kms at the base of the lake. According to mythology, Lonar acquired it's name from lonasura, a demon who was killed by lord Vishnu. On the way to the base of the crater is Daitya sudan temple, which represents the richness of Hoysala style.

Saskatchewan astronomer Martin Beech's Rejuvenating the Sun and Avoiding Other Global Catastrophes (available in part on Google Books here) is a slim book that more than satisfies my interest in radical futurology, with its talk of remodeling entire planetary systems, what Beech calls "asteroengineering." It reminds me of the far-future space opera Orion's Arm, where humans and their ally species and their created species and guardian artificial intelligences combine to make the galaxy that much more hospitable to intelligent life, whether through terraforming once-sterile environments or transforming solar systems into vast arcologies.
Although Beech is concerned with asteroid impacts, Rejuvenating the Sun is most concerned the aging of the sun. Aging Sol will become a swollen red giant in five billion years, but long before that fate the heating sun will make Earth's present environment unsustainable in several hundred million years. Earth might avoid becoming a Venus-like world for a couple billion years after that. If, Beech suggests, we care for our world, surely we should try to keep it--and its sister worlds, too, Venus and Mars, hopefully rendered Earth-like themselves--a living world for as long as possible.
How is this to be accomplished? A relatively simple method Beech outlines is the gradual shifting of Earth's orbit further into the solar system, through encounters with well-placed asteroids which pull Earth out as Sol's energy output grows, thus keeping the climate stable. Far more radical means would involve sharply reducing the sun's mass, using barely imagined technologies--solar sail arrays, magnetic field projectors, hypervelocity asteroid bombardments--to vapourize entire layers of our star, directing its mass towards--somewhere. Perhaps it could be used to create some very durable low-mass stars in the Oort cloud.
Rejuvenating the Sun has structural flaws. An extended essay, really, Beech gets to the point of his book only in the last couple of chapters, leaving interested readers like myself bored, and his style of writing could be stilted (the narratives are unappealing). That said, I was an interested reader. I'm interested in astronomy and science; I'm interested in science fiction; I am, for any number of reasons, interested in preserving things, in extending things to new environments. The idea terraformed Solar System really appeals to me, and I couldn't help but agree with others who read about the Epsilon Aurigae dust clouds and wondered if someone had built something there. Beech did a good job in writing about a highly speculative subject of no small interest to me but of little interest to others. How can I do anything but be glad that this book exists and was available to me?

Tony used this against Killian in their epic fistfight. Made even better in IMAX!
The suit's main feature is the ability to lock into a tight, streamlined shape that blends arms ands legs into a single form while in flight mode. Large air intakes allow for speeds up to Mach 5. Despite its overall vulnerability, it does feature fully functional RT defenses, and the razor-thin retractable forearm panels could, under pressure, be used as effective blade weapons.
It was chopped in half by Killian [unfortunately], being replaced by the Mark 42.
On the morning of 2nd July 2014, commuters in Huddersfield were treated to the surprising sight of a French rural idyll outside the main train station. Complete with animals, flowers, fruit and vegetable plots, the farm was tended by two teams of 13 French farmers working around the clock.

Jim Garvin speaks to family members of Charlie Schnetzler
during presentation of plaque in B34 on 7/29/10.
NASA Astronaut Piers Sellers will honor former Goddard scientist, the late Charlie Schnetzler, by presenting his wife and family with the Australasian tektites collected by her husband during his search for the source crater and flown in orbit by Astronaut Sellers.
Tektites are pieces of melted rock blasted into space by hypervelocity impact events, such as those made when near earth objects (NEO’s) collide with Earth. These objects return to the Earth’s surface as recondensed rock “glass.”
This event is symbolic of the great scientific impact Mr. Schnetzler had on Earth, planetary sciences, and the importance of continued human spaceflight.
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is home to the nation's largest organization of combined scientists, engineers and technologists that build spacecraft, instruments and new technology to study the Earth, the sun, our solar system, and the universe.

I loved this design the minute I saw it in the new Iron Man 2 figure line. This one is from the concept series. Doesn't even really look like a 3.75" figure does he?
UPDATE 05/13/10: I found this page while looking for someWar Machine images. These concepts were designed back in '07 I'm guessing for the film but finally saw the light of day as figures in this line. Not bad. www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/11478/philsau...

Official Citation:
For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry in action above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the Second Battalion, Seventh Marines, First Marine Division, in combat against enemy Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands area on October 26, 1942. When the enemy broke through the line directly in front of his position, Platoon Sergeant Paige, commanding a machine-gun section with fearless determination, continued to direct fire of his gunners until all of his men were either killed or wounded.
Alone, against the deadly hail of Japanese shells, he manned his gun, and when it was destroyed, took over another, moving from gun to gun, never ceasing his withering fire against the advancing hordes until reinforcements finally arrived. Then, forming a new line, he dauntlessly and aggressively led a bayonet charge, driving the enemy back and preventing a breakthrough in our lines. His great personal valor and unyielding devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
Bio:
Colonel Mitchell Paige is the sole surviving Medal of Honor recipient from the ground battle for Guadalcanal, America’s first ground offensive of World War II. Paige enlisted in the Marine Corps in September 1936, and he went to recruit training at Parris Island, South Carolina.
Paige has held practically every rank and assignment in a Marine Corps Infantry battalion, from private to commanding officer. He received a Field Commission from platoon sergeant to second lieutenant at Guadalcanal in December 1942. His field experience has taken him to Cape Gloucester, China, Cuba, Guadalcanal, Japan, Korea, New Britain Island, New Guinea, Pavuvu, the Philippines, the Russell Islands, the Solomon Islands and Vietnam.
After retirement in July 1964, Paige researched and developed miniature rockets, miniature rocket weapons systems, penetration aids, and hypervelocity acceleration. He assisted in the design and development of a four-inch rocket launcher capable of firing 13mm gyro-jet flares, smoke, radar chaff and explosive rounds while work’ing at MB Associates Science and Rocketry in San Ramon, California. He used the 13mm hand gun and 13mm Foliage Penetrating Signal Distress Kit in combat in Vietnam in 1967, with orders from President Johnson. Paige was involved in research and development of air-inflated devices and related recovery equipment. He invented the “TUPIT” (The Universal Paige Inflatable Tent),which he donated to the Army laboratories in Natick, Massachusetts.
Paige is the author of an autobiography, “A Marine Named Mitch,” published in 1975, and he is a member of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, Army and Navy Legion of Valor, Military Order of the Purple Heart, First Marine Division Association, Marine Corps League, British Royal Marines, Guadalcanal Campaign Veterans, National Order of Battlefield Commissions, Disabled American Veterans, American Legion, AMVETS, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Naval Order of the United States, and the Marine Corps Mustang Association.

Every hour, on the hour, giant air rams would actuate this head violently up and down, chewing between 1 and 3 lucky, unsuspecting passers-by to shreds.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Sept. 11, 2015) -- A U.S. Army scientist has broadened the understanding of projectiles in the hypervelocity range during his exchange-program research in Germany.
Research physicist Dr. W. Casey Uhlig spent August 2014 to June 2015 at the Ernst Mach Institute through the Army’s Engineer and Scientist Exchange Program.
While considering the program, he was interested in using light-gas guns and discovered that EMI had the facilities and expertise to facilitate this research.
A light-gas gun uses helium or hydrogen to help generate hypervelocity speeds, which aid scientists in understanding the behavior of projectiles and hypervelocity impacts. The gun at EMI fires projectiles up to 8,000 meters per second in an indoor facility, Uhlig said.
“One of my projects was being able to detect and characterize very small hypervelocity projectiles. How fast is it going? How big is it? I came up with an electromagnetic method to be able to detect and characterize particles down to half a millimeter in size,” he said.

"Pica Glass" is an anomalous natural glass that occurs in areas of Chile's Atacama Desert in South America. Nickel-bearing minerals are present, as are minerals that form under very high temperature conditions. The glass is interpreted as having formed by and being contaminated by a bolide impact (airburst). Isotopic dating indicates a Late Pleistocene age, about 12,000 years ago. Some researchers assert that no nickel is present in Pica Glass and conclude the glass formed by low-temperature surface fires.
