Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Does the sun shine the same way all the time?

The sun is a star, that is to say, it shines with its own light. Of course, this requires a lot of energy. Where does the sun get it from?

Scientists believe that its source is hydrogen atoms, which are in large numbers in the central, hottest, region of the Sun. There, they, uniting, turn into helium atoms as a result of thermonuclear reactions. In this case, huge energy is released, which then, having reached the surface of the Sun, is radiated into space in the form of light. Therefore, until the supply of hydrogen in it is exhausted, the Sun will give us its light. This light appears to us always equally bright. However, is this true?

The answer to this question is related to the structural features of the Sun. First of all, it should be remembered that it, unlike the Earth, is not a solid body. Although it rotates around its axis, however, its various parts rotate at different speeds. A point on the equator makes a complete revolution in 29 days, and near the pole - in 34.

The outer layer of the Sun, called the corona, consists of light rarefied gases. Its outer part has a white color and a radiant structure. These rays are stretched over millions of kilometers and cause, albeit small, but still noticeable changes in the brightness of the Sun.

Beneath the corona lies another layer of the solar atmosphere, the chromosphere, which is about 15 km thick and consists mainly of hydrogen and helium. From time to time, prominences are born in it, breaking through into the solar corona - huge streams of suddenly cooled matter, often in the form of giant arches 000 km high. They also affect how brightly the Sun shines.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Global warming will hit the US especially hard 11.06.2006

A detailed model of climate development by the end of this century, created on American supercomputers, taking into account factors that could not be taken into account earlier, shows that the US climate will change almost catastrophically in the next 80-90 years.

Throughout the country, summers will become significantly hotter, winters will shorten. In the southwest of the United States there will be a shortage of water for people, livestock and crops, on the Gulf Coast it will become hotter and more rainy. The northwest will suffer from the heat. Change can be detrimental to the economy.

To test the reliability of the model's predictions, computers fed the same weather data from 1961-1985 and calculated the US climate for 2005. The match is almost complete.
