MOON MAY 2024 | Lunar calendar 2024 Spain: all the moons of this month and of the entire year
2024-05-05 06:08:00
Earth’s only natural satellite, the moon, takes approximately 29 and a half days to complete its cyclecovering the four main phases: full moon, new moon, waxing moon and waning moon.
When the Earth is located between the sun and the moon, a full moon occurs, where the satellite reflects the sunlight in its entirety, reaching its maximum illumination.
Therefore, and taking into account that the moon takes 29 and a half days to complete the cycle again and become full again, the usual thing is that only one is produced full moon each month. But since a year has a total of 365 or 366 days, depending on whether it is a leap year or not, there are a total of 12.4 complete lunar cycles per year. That means that, each approximately two and a half and three yearsthere are 13 full moons a year, as was the case in 2023, which had two full moons in August: on the 1st and the 31st.
Lighting in half
Before being full, the moon goes through the crescent phase, characterized by having the right half illuminated in the northern hemisphere, adopting the ‘D’ shape in the northern hemisphere.
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.

In the clean room where the pair of satellites are located, the technicians work with great care. It is like an operating room, a place that must be spotless. In some warehouses in an industrial estate near Antwerp, the two Proba-3 satellites are examined point by point. point like a job of fine metalwork before its launch into space next September from India.
Proba-3 is one of the many programs of the European Space Agency (ESA) but it is one of the few led by Spain and Belgium. The main contractor is the Spanish engineering company Sener – founded in 1956 in the Basque Country, but with activity in Catalonia and Madrid – which heads a group of 29 companies from 17 countries that have been developing this project for more than ten years. It is now in the final phase before its launch and they have decided to invite the European media to visit the ships at the facilities of Redwire, a Belgian company that is in charge of avionics and operations. These days they are working on the last tests.
Specialists and scientists are detailing the characteristics of the satellites,
Instagram blocks political content: why, how it works, and what to know
In view of the upcoming ones European elections (8-9 June 2024) and upcoming ones US presidential elections (November 5, 2024), Meta has decided to limit “political” posts on its main social platforms. In particular on Instagram e Threads.
“If you decide to follow accounts that post political content, we don’t want to come between you and their posts – Meta wrote in an official note last February – but we also don’t want to proactively recommend political content from accounts you don’t follow.”
For this reason anyone wants to see on Instagram “political” posts recommended by the Meta algorithmas with any other type of content, from food to sport, must act autonomously on the social settings.
And therefore, after reaching the page that collects account information, you need to click on the three horizontal lines – at the top right – and then scroll down to the item “Suggested contents”. At this point simply click on “political content” and move the blue dot to the item “Don’t limit political content from people you don’t follow”. This action also has an immediate effect on the political content proposed to users by the Threads social network.
Astronauts on the Moon Could Stay Fit by Running on Inside of Wall of Death, Italian Scientists Discover
Running Around the Wall of Death: A New Approach to Keeping Fit on the Moon
In a groundbreaking study conducted by Alberto Minetti, a professor of physiology at the University of Milan, a unique method for keeping astronauts fit in space has been proposed. Inspired by an iconic scene from the film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” Minetti and his team explored how running around the inside edge of a cylindrical structure, similar to a “Wall of Death” used by motorcycle stunt performers, could help combat the challenges posed by low gravity environments.
The moon presents an intriguing case for maintaining physical fitness due to its significantly reduced gravity. Conventional forms of exercise such as running vertical on its surface are impractical as astronauts can only achieve limited speeds before bouncing off the ground in large jumps. Therefore, Minetti suggests emulating artificial gravity to overcome this hurdle.
By running sideways along a circular path within their spacecraft or habitat, astronauts would generate centrifugal and centripetal forces that simulate higher gravity compared to walking upright on the moon’s surface. This innovative approach offers potential solutions for countering muscle atrophy and bone density loss experienced in extended periods spent in space.
Authority of Algorithms: Resistance Futile?
If we as parents want to act sensibly and responsibly, we tend to make our children’s access to digital media as restrictive as possible. After all, in the digital world it is the algorithms that have the say and not us parents. Now is the opportunity to broaden our horizons and learn, in a very readable book, how workers, influencers, and activists are developing tactics of algorithmic resistance by appropriating and transforming the same algorithms that control our lives. The book is called “Algorithms of Resistance. The Everyday Fight against Platform Power” and is freely available as an open access publication via MIT Press. The starting point: Algorithms are everywhere around us and are penetrating more and more aspects of our daily lives. While accounts of the power of platforms tend to seem bleak and monolithic, Algorithms of Resistance shows how people can fight back against algorithms in a variety of areas. Authors Tiziano Bonini and Emiliano Treré draw on rich ethnographic material and perspectives from the global North and South to examine how people appropriate and transform algorithms to pursue their goals in three areas of daily life: Gig work , cultural industry and politics. They show how forms of algorithmic action and resistance are endemic and commonplace and how platform society is a contested battlefield of opposing forces.
AI and ML are impacting financial cybersecurity
2024-05-03 20:16:38
In a recent article for the Global Banking & Finance Review, Seshagirirao Lekkala – engineer at Cisco Systems – says that in today’s rapidly evolving financial services landscape, network security has become a critical frontier where the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is changing the way the game is played. With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, Lekkala says the integration of these technologies is critical to improving detection and response mechanisms. According to recent reportAI in the cybersecurity market is predicted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.9% from 2023 to 2028, reflecting the industry’s growing reliance on AI to bolster cybersecurity defenses.
The engineer also says that AI and ML are not only enhancing existing capabilities, but also transforming the approach to network security, enabling real-time threat detection and predictive analysis. This change is characterized by the implementation of AI-based behavioral analysis, which has been fundamental in detecting malicious activities on networks. These technologies enable dynamic adaptation to new threats, significantly reducing response times and improving threat detection accuracy.
According to Lekkala, by leveraging AI and ML, financial services can anticipate and neutralize potential security threats before they escalate,
England women are using artificial intelligence to choose playing eleven
London. Women’s team head coach John Lewis has revealed that England are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) while choosing their playing XI, adding that the technology has provided valuable feedback as far as match-ups are concerned and has helped them in getting the best results for the Ashes. Lewis said he learned about the technology, powered by London-based company PSI, when he was coaching UP Warriors in the inaugural edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) in India in March 2023. Interestingly, England rugby union coach Steve Borthwick, who also manages rugby league team Wigan Warriors and English Football League One side Wigan Athletic, has used the same system, reports ESPN Cricinfo. The England head coach said that when two in-form players with almost similar skills were up for selection in a game against Australia during the Women’s Ashes last year, the AI system successfully helped him decide on selecting one player. “We’re able to run mock teams against mock opposition to give us a better idea of how those teams might fare against each other,” Lewis was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo. “”
What I would say is it is not how we select the team, but it is a part of the select ion that we use to help us understand what may happen in the future.
