Who was the first person to walk on the surface of the moon?

In 1966, for the first time in the history of mankind, the Luna-9 automatic station gently descended to the lunar surface in the Ocean of Storms (this is on the visible side of the Moon), which transmitted an image of the lunar landscape to Earth.

On July 21, 1969, the landing cabin "Eagle" ("Eagle") of the American spacecraft "Apollo 11" descended on the Moon in the Sea of Tranquility, and the first people, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, came to the surface of the Moon. They installed several scientific instruments there, including seismographs (devices that record tremors, vibrations of the lunar soil), took samples of lunar rocks and returned to the ship, which was in lunar orbit. There, the third American astronaut, Michael Collins, was waiting for them.

In the next three years, five more American expeditions landed on the Moon. Seismographs installed on the lunar surface recorded weak moonquakes, some of which are caused by the fall of meteorites, and others by seismic processes occurring in the bowels of the moon.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Why do we get acne?

Nobody likes to have pimples or blackheads and it would be nice if we could tell you what causes them and what to do to avoid them. But the problem is not so simple. Both pimples and blackheads most often start in the hair follicles. The sebaceous glands produce a fatty substance that gets there. When the hair follicle becomes clogged and this fatty secretion collects, then what we call blackhead is formed.

Pimples are small, raised areas of the skin that often accumulate pus. But the cause of acne is much more difficult to explain than blackheads. They can appear for many reasons, including poor nutrition, imbalanced glandular function, or minor skin infections. Pimples can also be a sign of more serious skin disorders or even a symptom of a serious medical condition. Therefore, if a large number of acne appears on the body, it is necessary to consult a doctor. The doctor will try to find the cause of their appearance.

If the presence of acne is caused by some internal causes, then the use of some external medicines will not bring much benefit, but will only damage the skin. Acne should not be squeezed out, as this can lead to infection entering the body.

Many young people develop acne during adolescence, in which not only acne appears, but also pustules, cysts, and nodules. The reasons for this are very individual: in some cases it has to do with nutrition, and in others - the cause of this phenomenon may be the malfunction of the glands. A person who develops acne should see a doctor to determine the method of treatment.

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. ... >>

8-core mobile processor from Samsung 13.01.2013

Samsung at CES 2013, which opened in Las Vegas on January 8, announced the Exynos 5 Octa mobile processor, which has eight processing cores.

Exynos 5 Octa can be used in tablets and smartphones. While developing the processor, Samsung focused on multitasking and boosting 3D graphics performance, but tried to reduce the power consumption of the chip, company officials said. Energy savings are achieved through the use of two groups of cores in the processor. One group contains four cores on the Cortex-A15 architecture, and the second group contains four cores on the Cortex-A7 architecture. The first group of cores is used to perform resource-intensive tasks, and the second - for tasks that do not require large computing power.

The Exynos 5 Octa is manufactured on a 28nm process, as is Nvidia's 77-core Tegra 4 processor, also unveiled at CES 2013. The Tegra 4 chip contains four Cortex-A15 cores and a fifth "companion core" that functions similarly to cores from the second group in Exynos 5 Octa. In addition, Tegra 4 has 72 more graphics cores. Processors from the Exynos family are based on the ARM architecture. They are used in Samsung and Meizu smartphones and tablets. The Korean company develops chips independently.
