Penemu Planet Itu Orang Indonesia
Jakarta - HIP 13044 b adalah nama planet seukuran planet Jupiter yang baru ditemukan dan lahir di luar galaksi kita, Milky Way. Sang penemu adalah Johny Setiawan, ahli astrofisika kelahiran Jakarta 16 Agustus 1974.
Johny dan timnya menemukan planet tersebut ketika melihat benda bergerak mengelilingi induk bintangnya. Menggunakan spectrograph dengan teleskop 2,2 meter di European Southern Observatory's La Silla Observatory, Cile, ia meyakini bahwa benda itu adalah sebuah planet.
“Penemuan ini adalah bagian dari studi kami. Kami selalu mencari exoplanets yang mengorbit di sekitar bintang yang hampir mati,” kata Johny, yang berkerja di Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) dan penulis Science paper.
Exoplanet atau extrasolar planet adalah planet yang berada di luar sistem tata surya kita. “Penemuan ini membuat kami semangat. Sebab, letaknya yang sangat jauh dari bumi sekitar 2.000 tahun cahaya,” kata Johny, yang kini tinggal di Heidelberg, Jerman.
Jarak HIP 13044 b yang dekat dengan induk bintangnya itu membuat masa orbitalnya hanya 16 hari. Bintang itu sendiri sudah melawati fase red giant, yakni ukurannya membengkak dari diameter aslinya sebelum mati karena kehabisan hidrogen.
Menurut Johny, matahari kita pun akan mengalami hal serupa dalam sekitar lima miliar tahun mendatang. “Bintang itu berputar relatif cepat,” katanya. “Akibatnya, bintang itu menelan planet di sekitarnya saat terjadi fase red giant. Setelah itu putarannya malah lebih cepat lagi.”
Johny, yang mengusai lima bahasa: Indonesia, Jerman, Inggris, Perancis, dan Spanyol, menambahkan bahwa masih ada pertanyaan yang berlum terjawab tentang bagaimana planet itu bisa terbentuk. Padahal, planet itu mengorbit di sekitar bintang yang memiliki sedikit elemen kimia, selain hidrogen dan helium.
Ini merupakan kejadian langka. “Ini masih teka-teki. Bagaimana bisa bintang yang hanya mengandung sedikit elemen kimia dapat membentuk sebuah planet,” kata Johny. “Planet di sekitar bintang seperti ini pasti terbentuk tidak seperti planet pada umumnya.”

Okto Dinilai Pantas Main di Eropa
Jakarta - Daftar pemain Indonesia yang merumput di Eropa mungkin akan bertambah satu lagi. Setelah tampil gemilang di Piala AFF, Oktovianus Maniani dinilai layak merumput di Benua Biru oleh situs berita ESPN.
Okto mencuri perhatian publik sepakbola Indonesia saat dipercaya pelatih Alfred Riedl mengisi posisi sayap kiri. Tampil menggantikan Boaz Salossa yang dicoret karena alasan indisipliner, Okto membayar penuh kepercayaan yang diberikan pelatihnya.
Cuma satu gol yang berhasil dilesakkan putra Papua itu dari penampilannya di Piala AFF. Namun dengan keberanian, determinasi dan kecepatan yang dimiliki, pesepakbola 20 tahun itu punya masa depan yang sangat baik.
Sangat baik bukan hanya karena dia sangat mungkin bakal diproteksi oleh Sriwijaya FC dengan kontrak lebih besar, namun karena terbukanya peluang merumput di Eropa. Demikian ditulis oleh kolumnis ESPN, John Duerden, Minggu (2/1/2010).
Okto masuk dalam daftar 10 pemain Asia yang dianggap punya kemampuan sangat baik untuk bisa merumput di Eropa. Itu semua juga ditunjang dengan usia sang winger yang terhitung masih sangat muda.
"Winger cepat ini menjadi perhatian dalam AFF Suzuki Cup yang baru saja selesai di mana Indonesia masuk ke final dan dikalahkan Malaysia. Oktavianus enak ditonton saat dia menyisir sisi kiri, dengan usia 20 tahun, dia akan bisa terus berkembang. Jika 'Ryan Giggs Indonesia' itu mau seperti (Ryan Giggs) aslinya, dia harus mengikuti langkahnya dan menemukan konsistensi. Masih sangat mentah, tapi itu justru membuat dia punya lebih banyak antusiasme," demikian tulis Duerden.
Okto selalu jadi pilihan utama Riedl di lima pertandingan Indonesia di Piala AFF. Satu-satunya di mana dia absen adalah leg kedua babak final lantaran terkena akumulasi kartu kuning.
Ada dua pemain Asia Tenggara yang dianggap punya nilai lebih oleh Duerden sehingga layak bermain di Benua Biru. Pesepakbola yang lain adalah kiper muda Thailand Kawin Thamsatchanan. Kabarnya pelatih Bryan Robson sempat mempromosikan kiper 19 tahun itu pada Manchester United.
Berikut daftar pesepakbola Asia yang dinilai menjanjikan dan layak merumput di Eropa
1. Deng Zhuoxiang (Shandong/China)
2. Ismail Matar (Al Wahda/UAE)
3. Koo Ja Cheol (Jeju United/Korea Selatan)
4. Kawin Thamsatchanan (Muang Thong United/Thailand)
5. Yasser Al Qahtani (Al Hilal/Arab Saudi)
6. Octavianus Maniani (Sriwijaya/Indonesia)
7. Karim Ansarifard (Saipa/Iran)
8. Jungo Fujimoto (Shimizu S-PulseJepang)
9. Alexander Geynrikh (Pahktakor/Uzbekistan)
10. Firas Al-Khatib (Al Qadsia/Syria)
