How fast is Charon moving over the surface of Pluto?

The orbital period of Charon in his revolution around Pluto is 6,37825 Earth days, and the period of rotation of Pluto around its own axis is 6,3872 Earth days. Therefore, Charon practically "hangs" over the same point (more precisely, over an Earth day it shifts by 4,7 arc minutes, over a Plutonian day - by half a degree of arc).

The time interval between two successive ascents of Charon above the Plutonian horizon is about 12,5 Earth years.

Which of Stephen King's works causes readers to doubt its authorship?

Many viewers are surprised that the script of the cult film "The Shawshank Redemption" is an adaptation of the novel by Stephen King, which is strikingly different in theme and style from his other works. Once the "king of horror" was talking to an old woman who admitted that she had not read any of King's books, as she prefers "things more authentic" like "The Shawshank Redemption". The writer never managed to convince her that he was the author of the original work.

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 ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Gossip is good for the team 16.11.2020

Scientists from the Netherlands have confirmed that gossip at work is beneficial for the team.

To test the theory, the researchers interviewed 220 students. Among the questions were whether they gossiped about them, did they gossip, why did the students do it, who would they not gossip about.

As a result, scientists have said that gossip allows people to easily collect and verify information about a particular person. Also, with the help of gossip, employees divide the team into "us" and "them".

"Often gossip is seen as selfish and harmful behavior aimed at manipulating others," says researcher Bianca Bershma from the University of Amsterdam.

In fact, gossip can increase the productivity of an employee by stimulating him to work, revealing his weaknesses. And the fears of a person about whom they can talk are better stimulated to work.
