German rocket flies with candle wax 2024-05-04 13:15:20
For the first time in decades, a commercial launch vehicle from a German company has launched. Above all, the drive concept is exceptional.
People like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are best known in private space travel. But rocket manufacturers from Germany are also entering the market. Now, for the first time in decades, a commercial launch vehicle from a German company has launched.
The twelve-meter-long rocket took off from Koonibba in Australia at around 7:10 a.m. CEST, a spokesman for the space company HyImpulse said. The start was postponed several times due to weather. The rocket was powered by candle wax and oxygen, but did not cross the border into space.
What exactly blew up?
The SR75 launch vehicle has a payload of 250 kilograms. Her fuel was configured so that she could fly a maximum of 60 kilometers high. How high the rocket actually rose will only be known after the rocket has been recovered and the flight recorder has been evaluated, according to HyImpulse. According to the company based near Heilbronn, the rocket could also fly into space – but this was not planned this time within the scope of the existing approval.
A Saturn moon hides a vast ocean beneath its surface
After a ten-year suspense following the discovery of an anomaly in its rotation, proof has finally been made that Mimas, the smallest of Saturn’s eight main moons, harbors an ocean of water beneath its entire surface. Even more astonishing, this ocean would be less than 25 million years old, almost nothing, compared to the 4.5 billion years of our solar system. This surprising discovery is the result of a long work, but also of an intuition going against the main ideas accepted until now on the evolution of the Saturn system.
It was in 2010 that our team began to question the real nature of Mimas. With a radius of 200 km, the smallest of Saturn’s so-called main moons is easily recognizable by its surface covered in craters. Discovered in 1789 by the British astronomer William Herschel, it would be necessary to wait for the space age to obtain the first resolved images of this moon, and thus be able to discover its inert surface.
Study Mimas to understand the shape of Saturn’s rings
The link between Mimas and our initial work was not immediate, since it involved explaining the most remarkable structure of Saturn’s rings: the Cassini division.
Controversy Surrounding Helldivers 2: Players Upset Over New Account Linking Requirement
After Sony announced that players of the game “Helldivers 2” on Steam need to connect their PlayStation Network account with their Steam account in order to play “Helldivers 2”, which was not necessary before. Although it is not a very difficult question. But there are many fans of the game who are not satisfied.
Why “Helldivers 2” players are not satisfied with the new measures. And this has been proven through Steam review scores, where the average score has dropped significantly. It received nearly 6,000 negative reviews as soon as it was announced. However, after some drama came out, the main production team, Arrowhead Game Studios, came out and said that the team had not done this. But it is Sony’s policy that PlayStation Network must be connected.
Currently it’s not just PlayStation Network, there are other factions like Ubisoft, Electronic Arts and many others that require players to apply for a faction-assigned ID to connect on Steam, so it’s no surprise that a game as famous as ‘Helldivers 2’ is also applies to this policy.

The new Siri voice tested as part of the iOS 15.4 beta released on Tuesday was reportedly recorded by “a member of the LGBTQ+ community.”

Apple Axiosna based on the information you provide based on the videos shared online, the new sound – in the iOS beta is simply “5. referred to as ‘voice’ – less clearly masculine or feminine than earlier English-language options.
The company did not provide further details. The final version of the audio is expected to be made available to the public in a few weeks via a software update.
The new voice is part of an effort initiated by Apple to diversify Siri’s voice selection. Last April, the company added two Siri voices recorded by black actors.
The company also stopped making a female voice the default for Siri, instead prompting users to choose from multiple male and female voice options.
The move comes in response to a report by a UN agency that said the default use of female-voiced virtual assistants “increases the risk of spreading problematic gender stereotypes and normalizing one-sided,

Emma Stone He’s angry with the Ukrainians, and with his colleague Bradley Cooper he describes them as “pigs from the slums of Europe”. Adam Sandler He’s angry with the Ukrainians, and with his colleague Brad Pitt he says that Zelensky would be “an unprincipled person” and an “ally of the Nazis”. Also Vin Diesel has it out for the Ukrainiansso much so that I claim that “I can’t stand them anymore”.
That succede a Hollywood? Why did all these actors and actresses decide all together, simultaneously and suddenly, to declare their dislike for Ukraine? Nothing happens, why none of these statements are true and instead they were all almost certainly created with the help of artificial intelligence.

NASAs Curiosity Rover Discovers Manganese-Rich Sandstones, Hinting at Ancient Habitability on Mars
The Martian Mystery: Manganese-Rich Sandstones Uncover Clues to Ancient Life on Mars
A recent discovery by NASA’s Curiosity rover has shed new light on the past habitability of Mars’ Gale Crater. According to a study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, researchers using the rover’s ChemCam instrument have found elevated levels of manganese in lakebed rocks within the crater. These findings indicate that sediments were formed in a river, delta, or near the shoreline of an ancient Martian lake.
Lead author Patrick Gasda from Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Space Science and Applications group expressed surprise at the high concentrations of manganese oxide discovered. On Earth, similar deposits are common due to high oxygen levels produced by photosynthetic life and microbes that catalyze manganese oxidation reactions. However, without evidence for life on Mars and an uncertain understanding of how oxygen was once present in its atmosphere, this finding poses intriguing questions about larger processes occurring on the Red Planet.
The Curious Case of Oxidation on Mars
Gasda emphasized that it is difficult for manganese oxide to form on Mars’ surface under existing conditions. This raises puzzling questions about how these high concentrations accumulated in shoreline deposits within Gale Crater.

Stunning Images of the Horsehead Nebula Captured by the James Webb Space Telescope A Stellar Nursery Unveiled!
2024-05-03 05:58:00
James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s most powerful space telescope in the world The sharpest infrared image yet of the Horsehead Nebula has been revealed. In the constellation Orion Scientists believe that this region is the birthplace of many new stars.
Although this image of the Horsehead Nebula is not the first, but it is the most recent image in high definition. Focus on capturing the mane area of the horse’s shape. Spanning 0.8 light years and approximately 1,300 light years from Earth, this image is the most complex and detailed image ever seen.
The world’s first image of the Horsehead Nebula was taken byScottish astronomer Williamina Fleming in 1888, but with the telescope technology of the time, the images were not very clear.
Behind the astonishing capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope is the MIRI instrument, a mid-infrared imager. of the James Webb Space Telescope and the NIRCam near-infrared camera. It can capture high-resolution images of small structures such as blue and red clouds, as well as bright regions of the Horsehead Nebula. Current telescopes on Earth cannot capture images as high resolution as the James Webb Space Telescope in space.
