A look at the streets of the main Cuban cities is enough to verify the increase in the number of electric vehicles circulating in the country. Faced with this reality, the Cuban State takes on another challenge: charging so many vehicles without adding consumption to its already saturated electrical network.
The National Electroenergy System (SEN) is experiencing a difficult situation, and therefore the alternative that the country chose is to promote the establishment of a national charging system for electric vehicles with photovoltaic solar energy.
As the Minister of Transportation, Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, recently explained, this is part of a strategy for the gradual modification of the energy matrix in the automotive sector.
The head of that sector commented to the island’s state media that “we cannot continue incorporating electric vehicles if the generation of energy for recharging is not ensured with the use of renewable sources.”
In that sense, the Ministry of Transportation (Mitrans), together with several Cuban industries, are developing the first national national electric charging stations.
The project, called Tecxol, aims to allow Mitrans to place photovoltaic solar energy stations to charge electric vehicles in places such as airport,
NASAs Mars and Moon missions are falling apart. A double defeat against China is increasingly likely
It is not unusual for China to achieve milestones in space exploration that the United States does not yet have to its credit, such as successfully landing on the far side of the Moon or bringing samples from the youngest regions of the satellite to Earth. But what happens if China hits where it hurts?
The two most important exploration missions for NASA right now are to bring to Earth the rock samples that the Perseverance rover is collecting on Mars and return to the Moon after 50 years with the first woman. As the space agency’s budget problems and its partners’ delays put these two missions in jeopardy, China is more likely to achieve both before NASA.
Mars Sample Return
Overshadowed by the fame of its small companion Ingenuity, NASA’s Perseverance rover has done a brilliant job selecting samples of Martian rocks and depositing them in tubes on the surface of Mars so that NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) can bring them back to Earth in the future Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission.
The news is that NASA has just halted MSR development in an attempt to contain its budget after a pair of expert committees concluded that the mission cannot be completed until 2040 with a budget of between $8 billion and $11 billion.

What are Asteroids: Celestial Objects Orbiting the Sun in Space
#Asteroids #Celestial #Objects #Orbiting #Sun #Space
CELEBESMEDIA.ID, Makassar – Asteroid is a small object in space that consists of rock fragments. This object is orbiting Sun.
The rock fragments have an irregular shape. Asteroid also often referred to as minor planets or planetoids. It is estimated that there are millions of asteroids in the solar system.
According to NASA, there have been 1,312,989 asteroids identified to date.
They form an orbital belt between Mars and Jupiter, known as the asteroid belt.
History of Discovery Asteroid
The discovery of asteroids began when astronomers noticed a discrepancy in Bode’s Law, which is used to estimate the distance between planets and Sun.
However, this law failed to predict the positions of Neptune and Pluto.
Before the discovery of Neptune and Pluto, astronomers used Bode’s Law. However, this law also cannot explain the positions of Mars and Jupiter.
On January 1, 1801, Giuseppi Piazzi announced his discovery, an object between Mars and Jupiter. At first, he thought it was a comet.

Scientists Prepare for Close Encounter with Potentially Hazardous Asteroid
Innovative Approaches to Explore Apophis’ Flyby
In about five years’ time, Apophis, a potentially hazardous asteroid, will make an incredibly close flyby of Earth at a distance of less than 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers). This rare encounter presents an opportunity for scientists to gain valuable insights into the nature and composition of this celestial visitor.
The Threat of Apophis
When first discovered in 2004, Apophis was deemed a hazardous asteroid capable of colliding with our planet. However, subsequent observations have provided assurance that we have no immediate cause for concern. According to scientists, there is “no chance of crashing into Earth for at least another century.”
The significance of this reassurance cannot be understated considering the potential devastation such a collision would entail. Asteroids of similar size have historically struck Earth once every 80,000 years on average, resulting in catastrophic damage and global-scale impact winters.

During its upcoming flyby, scientists aim to investigate Apophis further by studying its orientation, composition, and spin in relation to Earth’s gravitational field. By comparing observations before and after the encounter,
Why the collision of two tectonic plates can split the Earth in two Diario La Pgina
Researchers Discover Tibet May Be Splitting in Two beneath Rising Himalayas
During a presentation at the American Geophysical Union conference in San Francisco last December, scientists from the United States and China revealed a groundbreaking discovery regarding the geology beneath the Himalayas. Their research suggests that Tibet may be splitting in two beneath the rising mountain range, with pieces of the continental plate breaking away.
The Himalayas, which have been forming for 52 million years, are the result of the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. While it is known that when oceanic and continental plates collide, the oceanic plate typically subducts beneath the continental plate, the process is not as straightforward when two continental plates of equal density collide.
Some scientists have debated whether the Indian Plate beneath Tibet is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate or moving horizontally beneath it. However, a new study proposes a third possibility – delamination. This process involves the top of the Indian Plate rubbing against the Eurasian Plate while the bottom part splits and subducts into the mantle, offering a more nuanced understanding of the region’s complex geology.
The researchers, who presented their findings at the conference in December,
The calculator would finally come to the iPad
2024-04-25 15:22:15
The iPad is missing a basic application that you’d expect to find on all systems: the calculator. Yes, you can download third-party applications, but Apple has decided to finally fix this…
On the iPad, no calculator. The reason for this? Steve Jobs found that the application did not fit the width of the iPad screen (it must be said that it was simply the same application, identical to the one on the iPhone). Users of the Apple tablet eventually got used to it quite well, and simply turned to third-party applications.
As surprising as it may seem, MacRumors tells us that the calculator will eventually be in preparation at Apple for the iPad. A small novelty that will not change the lives of the owners, but will symbolically “repair” this small deficiency. The application is in the process of being distributed, if internal Apple sources cited by MacRumors are to be believed.
This would come along with some changes to the MacOS calculator app discovered by Apple Insiderincluding integration into the Notes application or even a sidebar for a story.
However, little is known about the version that should be released on iPadOS,
Too Wild, Bengal Tiger Pounces on Crocodile and Eats It

JAKARTA – An extraordinary moment occurred in Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India, where tourists had the opportunity to witness one Bengal tiger named Riddhi and her children are enjoying their prey, namely a crocodile.
Riddhi, who is 6 years old and has the alias “T-124”, has been seen hunting crocodiles before.
As reported by IFL Science, Thursday (25/4/2024), in February, a video showed Riddhi approaching a crocodile at the water’s edge, although the crocodile managed to escape into the water.
However, this time Riddhi did not fail. Pictures and videos recorded by tourists show the tiger and its three cubs eating the crocod ile. Riddhi’s three cubs were born in 2023, and this is the first time they were seen with Riddhi in the wild.
The arrival of baby crocodiles in this national park has raised concerns about their safety, so the national park has increased monitoring in the area. However, ironically, it may be the crocodiles who need protection from Riddhi and her ferocious cubs!
This moment is a reminder of the power and ferocity of wild nature, as well as the importance of maintaining ecosystem balance.
