Stunning pictures of a red rising moon have emerged today.

The rare natural phenomena, which is known as ‘Etruscan Vase’, is caused by differences in air temperature near the earth's surface.

Also known as an Omega moon because of its shape, the optical effect is more usually seen in views of the setting sun rather than the rising full moon.

Photographer John Stetson caught the moment on camera at Casco Bay near Cape Elizabeth in Maine, USA, earlier this month.



Mirages such as this are possible when there is a layer of relatively warm air at the ocean surface with colder air above it, with a rapid drop in temperature the higher above surface.

On the day the pictures were taken the water was 39F (4C) while the air well above it was a chilly 18F (-8C).

Light passing through the atmosphere bends away from the warmer air towards the colder, denser air.

The result is that we see two moons - one being a mirror image of the other.



The lower part of the image is formed by rays from the moon which are reflected upwards from the warm layer of air at the surface.

If you are above this layer, you see both images together as rays also pass relatively undeflected over the top of the warm layer.

Optics expert Les Cowley said: ‘The effect is not dissimilar to the mirage seen above a hot road surface.

‘The mirage depends on your height above the sea surface. You must be above the warm air layer but climb too high and the effects diminish.’

The moon appears red in colour because it is low in the sky, and blue light from it is scattered by the atmosphere while more red light passes through.

Giant ice-age crevasses are few and far between - especially in Ireland.

Don't worry, it is the latest creation of 3-D street artist Edgar Mueller.

The crack, appearing to show a fault in the earth's crust, was created for the town's 'Festival of World Culture' last year in the town of Dun Laoghaire.



And locals wasted no time having fun with the work by pretending to teeter precariously on the edge of the deep hole.

Mueller said: '3D street painting itself is a very new artform which only a handful of people do worldwide. Its nature is to trick people's eyes and show them a new "reality".

'The technique itself is called anamorphism and has been known since the Middle Ages. It was used by famous painters like Michelangelo, da Vinci and others in their murals.'



Residents of a German town were horrified when they emerged from their homes to find a lava pool running through the middle of the road.

Scroll down to watch a video of the making of the The Crevasse...

Spanning over 8 x 50 metres, 'Use your eyes' is one of the biggest three-dimensional street paintings ever made.



With the help of locals, the German artist's jaw-dropping art involved clever planning so that when the picture is viewed from a certain angle it looks totally three-dimensional.
Mueller plays with big areas and elemental forces - and also asks that his audience enter the scenery and interact with the picture.

He said: 'it gets thrilling when the observer runs in the picture.'

His other works include a 250 square metre giant fissure in Ireland, that took five days to paint.

Because of the high security standards that the modern world is so addicted, we need to spy a little to find out about the new 7 Series from BMW. So a few little details remains undiscovered at lest about the exterior, because the car was captured in the pictures and it reveal to us the exterior. So, the lights are a concept from the most controverts CS concept. The lights are entire made of led and we find a new iDrive system.

The bigger differences from his previous model can be observed at the body in the front and back side, there the day lights creates a new look for the future generation that we are going to see from the BMW factories. The new approach respect the tradition in BMW to make a total change in stile and it creates an image, very high evolved given up the old design that was very criticized for the peaceful and more calm image.

The new BMW use a twin-turbo V8 of 4.4 liters that entered for the first time in the component of the new X6, and the top version 760i is tooled up with the familiarly V12 of 6.0 liters. To make a difference between the two versions the V6 version will have pipes on the exhaust system meanwhile the V12 will have 4 pipes on the exhaust system.

Both of the version is equipped with an automatically transmission in 8 steps. In spite the fact that the new model has more steps in the gear box then his predecessor the new transmission does not need more space then the one in 6 steps and more then this it is more easy to use and more efficient. With a gear box that has more gears will help in the amount of gas consumption, with 6 percent less than its previous model. About the new transmissions roomers are that is very versatile and they will use it in the next project of the BMW brand.

On the option list of the new BMW 7 series we will find a guidance system that it will be put on to the wheels, and in a few years this system will be combined with 4×4 traction.

The new night-vision assures the safety of the pedestrians; it is capable of detecting the presents of humans on the road and then signals in the dashboard. Also the system can signal if the people are on the road or on the side way to prevent the accidents that could happen.

The system is so advanced, so it can reed the indicators with speed restriction and can signal to the driver in case if this one runs with a higher speed. The camera can also detect the fog or rain condition and can warn the driver not to go over a limit. Whit all the warnings the car does not the controls from the driver, but still remains a high performing warning system.

You have to reach that right speed before you can quickly shift your gears. Timing is crucial in getting the most out of your car’s powerful engine. You have to know when to get the beast out of your monstrous engine, as well as, taming the beast.

There are some ways to upgrade your transmission. You can choose from trusted transmission brands like Nissan, Mitsubishi, Tremec, and Honda. Honda makes different kinds of performance transmissions ranging from a basic one to custom made racing transmissions.

There are two types of transmissions: manual and automatic. Clutches are needed to engage or disengage a manual transmission, while with automatic transmissions torque converters take the place of clutches. Automatic transmissions are an advantage for racecars and cars with forced induction because even at a high rev, it can permit the car to stop. While on a stall, drivers then release the brakes for a super-charged launch.

Computers paved the way for the emergence of semi-automatic transmissions which we can say, give racecar drivers the best of both worlds.

In choosing gearboxes, choose those that are made of hard and durable materials to avoid breakage. Low-ratio gearboxes are said to provide improved acceleration and better mileage.

Another gearbox option is the sequential gearbox. This type of manual transmission gives the race driver the advantage of fast shifting. You only have to push the shift stick up every time you want to change to a higher gear, or pull the shift down if you want to use a lower gear.

Performance shift kits are available to make your shifting experience smoother and quicker. These shifts are well balanced and precise. Most of these performance shift kits are short, but easy to install.

Get your car a gear knob that will match your steering wheel or the interiors of your car. Gear knobs come in leather, carbon fiber, or choose an illuminated gear knob if this suits your fancy.

Always have your transmission fluid changed whenever it’s due to keep you shifting gears smoothly. Use synthetic oil with higher quality to take on the added heat due to continuous shifting.

VW introduced the Passat back in 1973 which were initially offered as two and four door sedans as well as versions with three- and five-doors. These versions shared a common style care of Giorgetto Giugiaro, an Italian designer. From that time on, the VW Passat continues to earn raves as well as criticisms from automobile raters and users.

Facelift for Passat

Some mechanical changes and alterations on style can be made to give the VW Passat a fresher look. Give this a new set of car projector-optic headlights, tail lights, bumpers and the car would look much better than when you first bought it. Owners may also opt for front suspension with four links which take out torque steering. To help avoid traction loss when driving on slick surfaces, a Torsen AWD system can be utilized for this purpose. Power can be improved and turbo charged with diesel with a TDI engine which produces 135 PS. Best part about this engine is that it utilizes diesel for fuel economy and its ability to operate with biofuels, an inexpensive alternative to gas. This Torsen AWD system usually comes with the four wheel drive version..

Upgrade to Safety and Function

From the Torsen system, one may now opt for Haldex multi-plated clutch which is available when using a 4-wheel drive version. What this upgrade does to your car is improved fuel economy with spacious interior that allows for more room. Haldex helps you direct your power by letting your car act as any four-wheel drive until it starts detecting slippage. In which case, half of your power will be diverted to the axle which is opposite that of the transmission or engine. There are a lot of things you can do to make the VW Passat a class of its own. Who says a family car can’t look like a sports car?

Toyota Yaris is one of the latest feature cars of the Toyota. It has gone to be so successful that production of this latest Toyota flagship model is still in its momentum. Sporting a hip and compact look, the Toyota Yaris is, after all, an incarnation of what most Toyota fans have been asking for from Toyota. A stylish, compact and efficient car is what you asked for - and Toyota Yaris is what you get.

Toyota Yaris is ideally tailored as a family sedan that can accommodate four passengers. Comfort is perhaps one of its best features. With features like satellite navigation system, touch screen operation, Bluetooth, USB connection and full in-car sound system, you will, no doubt, feel the comfort of driving in your Toyota Yaris. And it can be bought for a $11,000 retail price, if you look hard enough. Performance-wise, however, Toyota Yaris does not have much to be proud of. At 50 to 150 BHP, the Toyota Yaris is not exactly your favorite runner. That’s why Toyota Yaris tuning may be exactly what you need.

Made of tensile steel, Toyota Yaris is rigid but lightweight - a feature you can take advantage of. Boosting your car engine’s with a supercharger may power up your engine’s efficiency and performance to as much as 30%. An ECU Tuning Chip may also do the trick. Be careful, though, because it’s no big secret that these procedures can be precarious.

Or you can use methods that will boost your Yaris’ performance, without handling its engine. The most popular choice is replacement of your tires with 15″ allow wheels. This will make your car a lot lighter, and therefore give less reason for your Yaris to run slow. There are also 18″ wheels, which you can use for traversing terrains. Tuning your Yaris by replacing the wheels can be a good option.

Tending to your car will enable your car to travel longer down the road and will give you a sense of pride when you are fixing your car. Auto owners need to pay more attention to their cars so the junkyards and the streets don’t get cluttered up. The more cars we can keep on the road, the cleaner the streets will be. Fixing your older car can be fun and exciting and will give you a greater sense of appreciation of the automobile. All of the parts can be found in the auto parts stores and if by chance you can’t find them there, you can always go online and find them.

Recent surveys show that 5 out of 10 accidents could have been diverted by just doing basic maintenance on your vehicle. Just by doing simple maintenance on your vehicle, you can extend the life of your car, helping with a healthier and stable environment.

Tending to the upkeep of your engine can save you gas mileage and give you more of an understanding of the operation of your vehicle. If you know more about your car, when something goes wrong, you will be able to know what it is instead of taking it to the shop and spend extra money you don’t have. Tending to your car starts at the very beginning, from the first day you buy the car.

Basic maintenance starts with your basic tune-up. For that you need spark plugs, ignition wires, a distributer cap and a rotor. Here are a few tips to keep your car up and running longer.

1. Change your oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Your engine will start make weird noises if the motor is not kept up. When doing the oil change, make sure you change the oil filter as well. It will do no good if you run clean oil through a dirty oil filter.
2. Check the tires every month. By checking your tires it will make sure your alignment is not off causing uneven ware on your tires. Make sure the tires on your car are properly inflated. If the tires are under inflated or over inflated, that can lead to serious problems later down the road.
3. Check all of the fluid levels. The fluids you will need to check will include the power steering, brake, antifreeze, washer solvent and the transmission fluid. these fluids are essential for the operation and the safe running of the vehicle.
4. Inspect the muffler of the car when it is running to make sure that it has good air flow through it. If the muffler is plugged, make sure you replace it right away.
5. Clean the battery posts and cables when necessary and analyze the connection points for corrosion. Check the battery fluids and make sure it has enough fluid except for batteries that are maintenance-free.
6. Inspect engine belts for any knicks and tears. Make sure the belt is running on the right track. You don’t want to replace a belt or even worse, a water pump while you are sitting on the side of the road.
7. Underneath the car, you will find some grease receptacles to grease the moving components such as the ball joints and the tie-rods. Poor maintenance of these parts can put your car right into the ditch or even worse cause an accident.
8. Make sure all of your headlights and taillights work. It is just a simple bulb exchange from a bad bulb to a good one. Check all of the lights on your car to see if they all work, if they don’t, replace them as soon as you can.
9. Check and see if your wipers work. If the do, and wipe the windshield clean, you have nothing to worry about. If you turn your wipers on and you have streaks on the windshield, replace the wipers when you get a change. You need to see when you are out driving on the road.

They came after the Honda Acura brand, but about the same time as the Toyota Lexus brand – and entered the market to tap into Honda’s success. Unfortunately for Infiniti, although they had a strong start, by the mid nineties they were well behind Acura and Lexus, finding their sales dragging and their production overshooting – causing massive price reductions in dealerships to move sluggish inventory. In 1999 they redesigned their look and released the G20 vehicle, a compact which had been halted in 1997, but then remarketed as a competitor to the much more popular European brands. After this they tried other failed ideas, and by the millennium faced obliteration.

The company, before losing itself completely, reorganized and started developing high performance and very luxurious lines of vehicles. After this they began to look at rival BMW’s vehicles, and design around matching them, in order to regain market share and popularity. The policy worked, and soon their sales started to pick up and more people began to buy Infinity branded automobiles. By last year sales had peaked at all time highs, and next year they plan to release new models, like the G35 and G37 (the former being introduced this year actually). They have begun importing to the UK recently, and rumors about an expansion into the Australian market persist to be talked amongst Infiniti enthusiast.

Despite being an older marque, the Audi 80, and it’s quattro variants, is still regarded as one of the finest automobiles for the tuning enthusiast giving good power range at very affordable prices. The Audi S2, a sport version with 2.2 liter turbo petrol engine was produced in 1991.

First manufactured in 1966, the Audi 80 had a long production run into the mid 1990s, with final cabriolet models rolling off the production line in 2000. One of Audi’s most popular models, the Audi 80 changed significantly over it’s development, although still retained the same classic lines through most variants.

Tuning an Audi 80 depends very much on year and engine type, and some parts for older variants may be very difficult to come by, resulting in quite a few owners of 1960s Audis having to source parts from wreckers yards or pay a premium for new parts manufactured by Audi.

Engine capacity and power output varied considerably over the thirty year production of the Audi 80, beginning with normally aspirated 1.6 liter engines right through to the final years of production when 2.0 liter petrol and 1.6 liter turbo diesel engines were fitted as standard.

The same body shape with larger 2.3 liter five cylinder engine and more luxurious interior trim was also marketed as the Audi 90. The two models are essentially the same, and a lot of cross compatibility of parts exists. In fact it is possible to drop a 2.3 liter from an Audi 90 into an Audi 80 with minor adjustment and proper tuning.

Tuning the Audi 80 for maximum performance should probably start with getting the engine and drivetrain back to as near new condition as possible, a full service and diagnostic analysis should be undertaken to ensure the baseline measurements conform to standard.

Owners of the turbo diesel and MPFI engines will get more performance thru acceleration and top end by re-chipping the car with an aftermarket chip, then tuning again with the new baseline. Most kits provide full installation instructions from removal of the old chip to soldering in the new chip an the entire process can take less than a couple of hours with the right setup.

Some models of Audi 80 do not feature a removable chip, and the entire computer will either need to be removed and sent to the chip programmer, or the car taken to a custom tuning workshop with the capability to reprogram the ECU.

Audi 80s are known for needing regular coolant changes, usually every two years, and before starting your cars performance tuning it’s a good idea to change the coolant and check for head gasket leaks.

Catalytic converters on the Audi 80 and variants can also be problematic, unfortunately it’s a design fault, and replacing this with one from a wreckers yard may not entirely solve the problem.

A new exhaust system with chrome tailpipes is an affordable option for tuning an Audi 80, and used systems may be readily available from trade and exchange markets.
