JoeSchmuckatelli Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 The most detailed images of Mars' moon Deimos have been unveiled after a probe flew just 100km (62 miles) from its surface. The "unprecedented" high-resolution pictures, captured by the UAE Space Agency during a series of flybys, include a glimpse of areas on the far side of the moon which have never been observed in such detail before. The moon - which NASA describes as "small and lumpy" - takes 30 hours to orbit Mars and is just nine miles long (15km). The flyby images are part of the UAE's wider Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) to study the Red Planet. Now that is one weird looking space rock!

farmerben Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) The title says what its about. Some interesting discussion about designing electrical systems under a different set of constraints. We might build most of the system out of aluminum foil, with large circuits to resist radiation.

steve9728 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Large fossilised dinosaur bones were found at a site in Jiangxi in June 2021. After the initial cleaning was completed recently, experts tentatively identified the fossil specimens as coming from a Titanosauria that lived more than 90 million years ago. "Yang Ling, former deputy director of the Jiangxi Geological Museum, who participated in this work, believes that the fossil dinosaur specimen is well preserved, with at least 29 vertebrae remaining, its bones are robust and the vertebrae and vertebral arches of the cervical and caudal vertebrae have complex chambers typical of lizard-footed dinosaurs. According to preliminary estimates, the recovered fossil specimen will be over 15 metres in length." Source: http://www.news.cn/2023-04/27/c_1129574158.htm (It's a Chinese link) But however, when I was looking for did Xinhua make an English story about that, bad news is they didn't. Good news is I found this: Across China: Scientists validate "restaurant dinosaur tracks". "For some lucky people discoveries can come from unlikely places - even while you're having a bite to eat." Yeah, there're also fossilised ancient marine life on the marble slab washbasins in the mall toilets and on the marble floors in numbers of other different places.

Minmus Taster Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 The wreck of the RMS Titanic has been fully 3D scanned. For the first time in 111 years we can view the entire ship; Spoiler The bow is the last intact piece of the ship. When the vessel broke up the bow cruised away from the rest of the wreck and lies 600 to 800 meters from its stern. While the bow is starting to decay it at least looks recognizable as being a ship. The bows port side is showing signs of collapse. The large hole in the deck is where the grand staircase was once located, being made of wood mostly it was torn apart as the ship sank. The Titanic's stern is totally collapsed. When the section sank it had not yet filled with water and it imploded as it sank. It also probably tumbled through the water at twice the speed of the ship's bow before corkscrewing into the bottom. Whatever was left of the stern has since collapsed and been totally flattened. The vessels fantail (end of the ship) is beginning to sag downwards and what's left of the ships engines is now taller than most of the vessel. Another view of the collapsed stern. The ships starboard propeller. When it hit the bottom the central prop and rudder were buried and the side screws were bent upwards at an angle of about 20 degrees. The scan's detail is incredible, here we can see a serial number on the starboard prop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSchmuckatelli Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 300,000 year old relatives. Scientists have discovered human footprints thought to be 300,000 years old and the earliest ever found in Germany. Experts believe the perfectly-preserved prints were left by a family of Heidelberg people, a long-extinct species of human. Heidelberg people, formally known as Homo heidelbergensis, were the first humans known to build homes and routinely hunt large animals. They were identified in both Africa and western Eurasia from roughly 700,000 years ago onwards until around 200,000 years ago. https://news.sky.com/story/300-000-year-old-human-footprints-discovered-in-germany-12882699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
