*Kisses unleash chemicals that ease stress levels*

CHICAGO – "Chemistry look what you've done to me," Donna Summer crooned in Science of Love, and so, it seems, she was right. Just in time for Valentine's Day, a panel of scientists examined the mystery of what happens when hearts throb and lips lock. Kissing, it turns out, unleashes chemicals that ease stress hormones in both sexes and encourage bonding in men, though not so much in women.
Chemicals in the saliva may be a way to assess a mate, Wendy Hill, dean of the faculty and a professor of neuroscience at Lafayette College, told a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on Friday.
In an experiment, Hill explained, pairs of heterosexual college students who kissed for 15 minutes while listening to music experienced significant changes in their levels of the chemicals oxytocin, which affects pair bonding, and cortisol, which is associated with stress. Their blood and saliva levels of the chemicals were compared before and after the kiss.
Both men and women had a decline in cortisol after smooching, an indication their stress levels declined.
For men, oxytocin levels increased, indicating more interest in bonding, while oxytocin levels went down in women. "This was a surprise," Hill said.
In a test group that merely held hands, chemical changes were similar, but much less pronounced, she said.
The experiment was conducted in a student health center, Hill noted. She plans a repeat "in a more romantic setting."
Hill spoke at the session on the Science of Kissing, along with Helen Fisher of Rutgers University and Donald Lateiner of Ohio Wesleyan University.
Fisher noted that more than 90 percent of human societies practice kissing, which she believes has three components — the sex drive, romantic love and attachment.
The sex drive pushes individuals to assess a variety of partners, then romantic love causes them to focus on an individual, she said. Attachment then allows them to tolerate this person long enough to raise a child.
Men tend to think of kissing as a prelude to copulation, Fisher said. She noted that men prefer "sloppy" kisses, in which chemicals including testosterone can be passed on to the women in saliva. Testosterone increases the sex drive in both males and females.
"When you kiss an enormous part of your brain becomes active," she added. Romantic love can last a long time, "if you kiss the right person."
Lateiner, a classical scholar, observed that kissing appears infrequently in Greek and Roman art, but was widely practiced, despite the spread of skin disease at that time by facial kissing. And there was a potential for social faux pas by kissing the wrong person at the wrong time.
Overall, the science of kissing — philematology — is under-researcherd, Hill concluded

Gerhana Bulan Penumbra Isnin Ini

KUALA LUMPUR, 6 Feb (Bernama) -- Orang ramai di seluruh Malaysia berpeluang menyaksikan Gerhana Bulan Penumbra Isnin ini selama empat jam bermula 8.39 malam. Agensi Angkasa Negara (Angkasa) dalam satu kenyataan hari ini berkata gerhana itu merupakan gerhana penumbra paling mudah dilihat dengan mata kasar (boleh dilihat di semua negeri) kerana 89.9 peratus daripada cakera bulan berada di bayang penumbra Bumi semasa fasa maksimum.

"Secara amnya gerhana bulan akan berlaku ketika fasa bulan penuh dan pada masa yang sama Bulan melintasi bayang Bumi.

"Gerhana ini akan bermula dengan fasa satu (penumbra) pada 8.39 malam waktu Malaysia. Gerhana maksimum pula akan berlaku pada 10.38 malam dengan bulan akan keluar sepenuhnya dari bayang penumbra Bumi (fasa empat) pada 12.38 pagi," katanya.

Sementara itu, Angkasa juga akan menganjurkan Program Pencerapan Gerhana Bulan Separa (Penumbra) di Planetarium Negara bermula 8.30 malam hingga 12 tengah malam. Menurut Angkasa, penduduk di Alaska, Hawaii, Australia atau Asia Timur akan berpeluang menyaksikan keseluruhan gerhana ini berlaku manakala penduduk di Kanada Barat serta Amerika Utara pula menyaksikan gerhana ini sebelum Bulan terbenam. Orang ramai dijemput hadir menyaksikan fenomena ini menerusi beberapa buah teleskop yang disediakan dan bagi yang tidak berkesempatan ke Planetarium Negara, siaran langsung boleh disaksikan di laman web www.angkasa.gov.my bermula 8.30 malam hingga 12 tengah malam. -- BERNAMA

Pada 9 Feb 2009 nanti, Bulan akan melintasi bayang-bayang penumbra Bumi dan menghasilkan fenomena Gerhana Bulan Penumbra. Bayang-bayang Bumi mempunyai 2 bahagian, iaitu umbra (bahagian paling gelap) dan penumbra (bahagian kurang gelap dan berada di sekeliling umbra).

Walaupun ia gerhana penumbra, namun Bulan akan melalui agak hampir dengan kawasan umbra. Kita akan dapat lihat Bulan kelihatan sompek sedikit di satu satu sisinya.

Bulan mula memasuki bayang-bayang penumbra pada jam 8:38:46 pm Waktu Malaysia. Kemuncak gerhana akan berlaku pada jam 10:38:15 PM Waktu Malaysia dan tamat pada jam 12:37:40 PM Waktu Malaysia.

Disebabkan kesan bayang-bayang penumbra hampir mustahil untuk dilihat dengan mata kasar, kita hanya dapat melihat kesannya apabila Bulan menghampiri kawasan umbra di antara jam 10:00 PM hingga 11:20 PM Waktu Malaysia.

Perkiraan ini adalah ramalan sahaja.Ia juga bergantung kepada keadaan cuaca setempat.
