How many large planets are there in the solar system?

Until August 2006, there were 9 of them, but after the decision of the International Astronomical Union, 8 remained. The most distant of the 9 planets, Pluto, due to its small size and orbital features, was declared a minor planet, especially since two more objects were discovered beyond its orbit about the same size. Ceres, the largest of the asteroids, was also included in this newly formed class of celestial bodies.

Who brought gifts to the newborn Jesus and how many were there, according to the Gospel?

One of the most famous biblical stories is the worship of the Magi, who, having seen the Star of Bethlehem, came to the birthplace of Jesus and brought him gifts - gold, frankincense and myrrh. In the Catholic tradition, the Magi are known under the names of Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, however, in the Gospel of Matthew, where this story is mentioned, neither the names nor the exact number of aliens are indicated. In Western iconography, they are often depicted with crowns on their heads, which is why they are popularly known as the three kings. But the Armenian and Syrian churches believe that there were twelve Magi.

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 ... >>

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.
