What is the Milky Way?

The most mysterious and beautiful in the sky, apparently, is the Milky Way, stretching like a necklace of precious stones from one side of the sky to the other. In ancient times, people, looking at this picture, like us, were surprised and delighted with this beauty. Not knowing what it could be, they gave unusual and sometimes beautiful explanations for the Milky Way.

For example, at the birth of Christianity, people believed that this was the road of angels, along which they could ascend to heaven. They also thought it was a hole in the sky that allowed those living on Earth to see beyond the firmament.

Our current knowledge of the Milky Way does not prevent us from admiring it. The reality is as amazing as the ancient legends about its alleged creation.

Our galaxy, round and flat, is shaped like a clock. If we could look at it from above, we would see that the galaxy really looks like a clock. But we are inside the galaxy, and looking up, we kind of look at the edge of the clock from the inside. We watch their edge curve around us. These millions of stars make up the Milky Way.

Did you know that the galaxy is made up of 3 billion stars? And we have an idea of its size. Light from the Sun reaches the Earth in 8 minutes. A beam of light will travel from the center of the galaxy to the Sun in 27 years.

The galaxy rotates around its axis like a wheel. One complete revolution takes 200 years.

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 ... >>

Earth's composition differs from potentially habitable planets 26.09.2015

Scientists from the University of Porto (Portugal) said that the Earth is an exception among potentially habitable planets in our galaxy.

The researchers drew attention to the stars, the mass and radius of which are almost the same as the sun, and in their habitable zone there are planets where water is present in the form of a liquid. Iron and other metals in the composition of such stars turned out to be less than that of the luminaries, around which only uninhabited planets circulate.

As a result, scientists concluded that because the planets are similar in chemical composition to their stars, celestial bodies from the habitable zone usually contain less metals than in the bowels of the Earth or the Sun. As a rule, massive bodies with a gaseous envelope rotate around iron-rich stars.

Differences in chemical composition between the Earth and most planets in the habitable zone, the researchers explain the fact that the latter, most likely, much older. Iron and other heavy elements are formed in the explosions of luminaries and disperse through interstellar space.

When the Milky Way was younger, there were fewer such explosions, as well as iron in ancient habitable exoplanets. If the existence of inhabited planets is more characteristic of stars poor in metals, then at the present stage of the life of a galaxy they are formed much less frequently.

However, stars exist for a long time and ancient planets with favorable conditions for the emergence of life are still present. The Earth, however, is an exception among potentially habitable planets in our galaxy, radically different from them in its chemical composition.
