Which republics are separated only by a river and 2 hours of time difference?

Moscow time operates throughout the territory of Tatarstan, and in neighboring Bashkiria, the time is already two hours ahead. Therefore, several permanent bridges across the border between these republics, the river Ik are jokingly called "the longest".

What historical events were affected by the appearance of several Suns in the sky?

In rare cases, in the sky, along with the usual Sun, you can see several false luminaries caused by the refraction of sunlight in ice crystals floating in the air. This phenomenon is called parhelion, and in the past it has repeatedly become an omen of important historical events. For example, the Tale of Igor's Campaign describes how four Suns shone over the earth, which foreshadowed the offensive of the Polovtsians and the capture of Prince Igor. Three Suns before the Battle of Mortimer's Cross, one of the main battles of the War of the Scarlet and White Roses, frightened the soldiers of the York army, but the future King Edward IV convinced them that this was the personification of the Holy Trinity, and God was on their side.

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 ... >>

China's lunar program 06.11.2014

China has launched its first lunar mission to return a spacecraft.

The Long March 24C launch vehicle was launched from the Xichang Cosmodrome in the early hours of Friday, October 3, according to the Chinese State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

During the mission (more precisely, its main eight-day part), the probe sent by the Long March 3C (its name is not disclosed) should fly around the Moon and, returning, on October 31, drop a test capsule into the Earth's atmosphere. The main purpose of the mission is to test the technologies that will be used in the next flight in 2017, during which samples of lunar soil should be delivered to Earth.

Also on the probe is a 4 M mini-device from the Luxembourg company LuxSpace, the signals of which can be tracked by radio amateurs. In addition, equipped with a dosimeter, it will transmit data on the level of radiation at all stages of the journey. The 4M launch is called the first private lunar mission. After dropping the capsule, the Chinese probe and 4 M will remain in Earth orbit.
