What planets rotate in the opposite direction?

The English scientist William Herschel, observing the stars through a telescope in 1781, noticed that one of them was moving. He concluded that it was a planet - distant, unknown, mysterious. It turned out that the distance from it to the Sun is 2869 million kilometers, almost 20 times more than from the Earth, and it makes a complete revolution in orbit in 84 years. Further observations showed that Uranus is a special planet.

Unlike the Earth and other planets, Uranus, like Venus, rotates around its own axis in the direction opposite to the rotation around the Sun, and besides (this is typical only for Uranus) as if lying on its side. It is very difficult to study Uranus even with the most modern optical instruments. Only in 1986 did the television cameras of the Voyager automatic station film Uranus and its satellites.

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. ... >>
