How much can the heaviest cage weigh?

A newly laid egg, in which the formation of a new organism has not yet begun, is in fact a single cell in the shell - an egg. Considering that the largest eggs weighing up to 2 kg are laid by ostriches, this is precisely the mass of the heaviest cells on Earth. In the time of the dinosaurs, respectively, the champion cells weighed even more.

How are star clusters different from constellations?

Unlike constellations, which are groups of stars visible in the sky that are actually quite distant from each other, star clusters are associations of stars that are physically connected by mutual gravitation.

Distinguish between open and globular star clusters.

Open star clusters do not have regular outlines, they are located inside galaxies and usually unite from several tens to several thousand stars randomly scattered in a region of space ranging in size from 5-6 to 30 light-years or more. Such clusters, when observed, are regions where the stars are denser than the average in the sky. If in the region of the Milky Way where the Sun is located, the distance between stars is on average 6-7 light years, then in open clusters the average distance is two light years. In the Milky Way, open star clusters can be observed in the thousands, but their number is probably tens of times greater. Globular star clusters are located on the periphery of the Milky Way and in other galaxies, about 200 of them were found in our Galaxy. The shape of globular clusters is correct, almost spherical - they look like luminous balls.

A globular star cluster contains from several thousand to several million stars; towards the center of the cluster, the number of stars increases so much that they merge into a continuous glow. In globular clusters, stars are located on average about 1/2 light-year apart, and in the centers of clusters this distance is reduced to 1/6 light-year. Globular clusters are about 100 light-years across. They are tens of thousands of light years away from the Earth (the farthest is over 200 thousand light years from us).

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 ... >>

Philae probe landed on comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko 13.11.2014

The European Space Agency (ESA) announced that the Philae probe, which separated from the Rosetta spacecraft, made a successful landing on the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

For the first time in history, a man-made apparatus was able to gain a foothold on a comet rushing at a tremendous speed - about 55 km / h. Due to the relatively small size of the space object and, therefore, low gravity, the process of "falling" Philae took about seven hours. The engagement with the comet was successful, despite the fact that malfunctions in the landing system were discovered after the probe undocked.

The ESA has already released pictures of the receding probe taken with the OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System) instrument aboard the Rosetta. In the near future, images of the comet taken from the Philae will appear.

It is assumed that the studies carried out by the apparatus on the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet will provide new information about the formation of the Earth and, possibly, about the appearance of water on it, without which the existence of our civilization would be impossible.
