Neil Armstrong is represented for his speaking engagements by CSA Celebrity Speakers in Eastern Europe

October 8th, 2009

Sofia, Bulgaria – Neil Armstrong, The First Man on the Moon and an icon of the 20th century is represented for his speaking engagements by CSA Celebrity Speakers. Neil Armstrong was involved in various space program firsts, including commanding the Gemini 8 flight in 1966 when he performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space.

“Neil Armstrong draws upon the lessons he learned and shows companies the need to adapt to tomorrow’s situation in today’s world” – says Christina Vlahova, head of the CSA Celebrity Speakers Bulgaria office – “And we are very happy to be able to offer our clients across Eastern Europe the possibility to invite Neil Armstrong to their conferences and events and to have the opportunity to learn directly from him.”

Learning to fly as a teenager, Neil Armstrong has been involved in flight all his life. He is a Korean War veteran, having flown 78 combat missions while in the United States Navy. He then spent 17 years with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as an engineer, test pilot, astronaut and administrator. As a test pilot at NASA’s Flight Research Centre at Edwards, California, Neil was a project pilot on many pioneering high speed aircraft, including the well known X-15 which flew to 6400 Kilometres per hour and over 60 Kilometres altitude.

He motivates business executives to break barriers and try the impossible while working together. According to Neil, “dedicated people, working together, can achieve the unimaginable.”

Neil Armstrong the first man on the moon, is an icon of the 20th century. Becoming an astronaut in 1962, he was involved in various space program firsts, including commanding the Gemini 8 flight in 1966 when he performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space. Later, as the commander of Apollo 11, he with colleagues Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin, completed the first landing mission to the moon. For his achievement he received the Medal of Freedom, the highest award a US civilian.

Discovery of New Sub-Stellar Body

June 4th, 2009

June 2009 – An international team of astronomers has found a new object made of sub-stellar bodies located around a main red star. It is being noted that this new form is unlike any other that is currently orbiting around the galaxy, and is expected to open new doors to understanding in astronomy. The specific components that make up this object, as well as the way in which it functions, are expected to bring in new concepts to the field of star studies.

The sub-stellar body that was discovered in astronomy was founded by a set of individuals working at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. The object they have found is in orbit around Wolf 940, a red dwarf star. It is suspected that this body is an average of 40 light years away from earth. They have found that the object has a temperature of 300 degrees Celsius and is about the same size as Jupiter. However, it has a dense mass, which is at an estimated 20 – 30 times heavier then that of Jupiter which has given it the main designation as a brown dwarf star.

There are two main components that are helping this specific object to stand apart from others. The first is that it was found orbiting a red star, which makes it different then most brown dwarf objects while creating an unique set of attributes to its overall function. The second main aspect that is setting this particular object apart is that the primary star that it is orbiting around is used to find out the unique aspects of this star, as well as what is setting it apart from the other brown dwarf objects. This is helping to determine the overall structure of the brown star that is orbiting it, as well as the attributes that are a part of this.

Not only is the new ability to discover the brown dwarf attributes being noted through the main star, but it is also suspected that more in depth studies of brown dwarfs can be defined by this. Because most brown dwarfs are not as easy to categorize, it makes it difficult for those in astronomy to have the correct classifications. However, using the Wolf 940 red star, is one that is suspected to open the doors for those in astronomy and to allow new studies to be available to the field.

With the discovery of the sub-stellar body into the field of astronomy, are suspected discoveries that will work toward the benefit of those interested in brown dwarfs and the functioning of alternative objects. The object recently discovered, now named Wolf 940B after its counterpart red star, is one that is suspected to open into new horizons for astronomy and those that are interested in finding more about the function of these types of objects.
