Which planets in the solar system have rings and what do these rings consist of?

Today it is known that all four gaseous giants - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - have rings. Saturn has the most beautiful and visible rings. These formations consist of many solid (ice) bodies reflecting sunlight, ranging in size from a grain of sand to 20-30 meters.

Despite the impressive appearance of the rings, the amount of substance that makes them up is extremely small. If we collect all the substance of the rings of Saturn into one spherical monolith, the diameter of this monolith will not exceed 100 kilometers.

What is Magna Carta?

Today, people are deeply interested in observing their rights, freedoms and laws that protect them from tyranny and persecution. "Magna Carta" was the first step towards constitutional freedoms for the entire population of the world, speaking the English language. It was signed by King John of England in 1225 and marked the beginning of a new form of government.

During the reign of King John, many were persecuted, the courts were bribed, there was no justice. The barons, who were under the authority of the king, decided that they should try to regain some of the lost rights and privileges. They were sure that these rights were more fair to themselves and their people.

On June 15, 1215, they and some of the churchmen raised an army and forced King John to sign the Magna Carta. Initially, the "Magna Carta" contained 63 articles, most of which affected the interests of only the rich. But some of them were remade, which benefited all people, because the rich promised some rights to the freedmen under their control.

The three articles of the Magna Carta are of great importance even today, because they influenced the development of freedom and justice, protected by law. One article states that no freedman shall be deprived of life or property without the consent of his lord (or equivalent) or law. Obviously, it protected oh injustice and arbitrariness.

Another article of the Magna Carta declared that justice could not be bought, denied, or postponed. This principle protected the people, was in the interests of the defendants, because it forbade judges from taking bribes or succumbing to someone else's influence while the suspect was in prison. The third article provided that federal taxes could not be increased without the consent of the Council of Peers. In our time, there is a similar situation: we cannot be taxed until the government receives the consent of the representatives of the people.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
