NASA engineers have repaired in extremis lost engines 20 years ago

When we thought we had seen everything from Voyager 1, NASA surprises us with a new feat. The venerable space probe, which has been moving away from the earth almost half a century, has recovered engines that were considered lost since 2024; A crucial repair that arrives just in time. Miracle? Nothing of the sort. It has been a mixture of ingenuity and risk that allowed NASA engineers Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Not only promises to exhaust the useful life of the probe, but was made just before the only land antenna capable of sending commands to enter a long maintenance period. Context. The Voyager 1 probe, launched in 1977 with its twin Voyager 2, is located in the interstellar space, about 25,000 million kilometers from the earth. Traveling almost 56,000 kilometers per hour, to keep your main antenna pointing towards us and being able to send us your data, the ship needs to make subtle orientation settings. These movements, remember Paraspacial procesthey are of three types: nod (up and down), wink (left and right) and praise. The latter, the “roll” movement, turns the ship on its axis, and is essential to keep a guide star that Voyager uses to orient and calibrates its magnetometer. They threw the towel. The main propellers of Alabeo de la Voyager 1 stopped working in 2004 for the loss of energy of two small internal heater. Without heater, the fuel of the propellers (hydrazine) is freezing and can cause an explosion in the ship’s nozzle. At that time, NASA engineers concluded that the ruling was irreparable and decided to move on to the reserve praise, they have been working to guide the ship since then. “They probably did not think that the Voyager would continue to run another 20 years,” Kareem Badaruddin, leader of the Voyager Mission in the JPL, said in a statement. 20 years later. The ducts of the reserve propensors are beginning to obstruct due to hydraction residues. According to NASA estimates, they could be completely blocked this autumn, which would make Voyager 1 lose the ability to control alabeo, making the mission seriously danger. Given this perspective, the Voyager team began a career to counter to reexamine the 2004 ruling. The suspicion was that a disturbance in the circuits that control the energy supply of the heater had “moved a switch” to the incorrect position. If they could return that switch to their original state, perhaps the heaters would work again and, with them, the alabus thrusters. A doubly risky plan. It involved lighting the inactive propellants and then trying to fix and restart the heaters. If during this process, the ship’s tracker was too diverted from its guide star, the inactive propellers would firing automatically. And if the heaters were still turned off at that time, an explosion could have occurred. To top it off, NASA only had a margin until May 4 for a scheduled maintenance of antenna 43 of the deep space network. The 70 -meter antenna, located at the Cambberra station, is the only take a whole day to arrive and another to returnthey played to counterreloj. Success. In spite of everything, the team sent the necessary commands on March 18. March 20, They received telemetry with the results. For relief and euphoria of the team, at 20 minutes of starting to receive the data, the temperature of the heater increased drastically. The plan had worked. With this repair, the mission team breathes calmer. If current alabeous propellants are obstructed in the coming months, Voyager 1 may be changed without problems to these newly reactivated propellers and continue working normally.

find what they have lost

Losing something in public transport is a more common situation than it seems. On many occasions, returning to the place where it is believed to have forgotten is not enough. And in a country with both movement and Japan, the challenge is even greater. A platform that wants to put order in chaos. To face this daily problem, Japan has begun to display a technological platform called Find, based on artificial intelligence (AI). As the firm itself saysit is already operational in train stations, airports and other public spaces in the country. Its operation is direct. When someone delivers an object lost in one of the enabled points, the staff takes a picture and introduces it into the system. Find analyzes the image, identifies parameters such as the color, the shape or distinctive details, and stores all that information in an accessible database. Visual recognition, messaging and automatic search. The next step is the user who has lost his belonging. Through applications such as Line, tremendously popular in Japan, you can start the search indicating where you think it lost it, a description of the object and, if you have it, an image. In case of not having a photo, the system allows you to select a similar visual reference. With that data, the AI ​​promoted by GPT-4O Openai performs an automated search and returns a list of possible coincidences ordered by degree of similarity. Even if the description is inaccurate, the system manages to generate relevant results. If it is finally confirmed that the object belongs to the user, it is indicated where you can go to pick it up. The service is available in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean, which makes it an accessible tool for both residents and foreign visitors. Of spreadsheets to automated analysis. According to SCMPthe technological jump has been remarkable in some operators. Yurikamome, which manages a monorraíl between Shimbei and Toyosu, in the coastal area of ​​Tokyo, used until recently spreadsheets to record the lost objects. A completely manual system, without any automation. Since July 2024, with the incorporation of Find, the process has been transformed completely. A measurable improvement from the first moment. The Keio operator, based in Tokyo, has been one of the first to quantify the impact. Before incorporating the new system, just 10% of lost objects returned to their owners. Now, the figure is around 30%. A remarkable improvement that suggests that the solution works, even in this first stage of deployment. Technology to solve real problems. Although there are similar initiatives in airports or airlines, the Japanese approach stands out for its technological integration. Combining image analysis, instant messaging and automatic learning, Find proposes a new and effective way to manage a daily situation.

After the blackout, Adif has a serious problem on its ways: three “lost” trains in remote states of the network

Although electric service has begun to recover, almost medium Spain continues in the dark and the sequelae of the blackout remain palpable. In the field of transport, 35,000 passengers trapped were rescued by Renfe, Adif and the Military Emergency Unit (UME). However, there are still three trains to recover. The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, He explained that these units are in areas especially difficult to access. Rescue equipment deployed throughout the morning. Since the supply cut occurred on Monday after 12:30, ADIF, Renfe rescue teams and the UME work continuously to recover trapped trains in different parts of the rail network. The difficulty does not reside solely in the lack of electricity, but that some convoys were isolated in difficult access areas, which complicates rescue maneuvers. Adif had already warned That the average and long distance services would not operate throughout the day, regardless of the evolution of the supply, and the suspension also extended to the nearby and rhodalies lines. A clear objective: to recover rail mobility. The government has stressed that one of the priority objectives is to restore the trains circulation as soon as possible, starting with the nearby lines. Pedro Sánchez has pointed out that the objective is to restore mobility in vicinity as soon as possible and also in average and long distance throughout Tuesday, the media and long distance services can also be resumed, although he has clarified that the recovery will ultimately depend on how the electric supply evolves. In parallel, the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, Óscar Puente, has pointed out That the tension is beginning to stabilize in some areas of the rail network, allowing several trains to resume their march. At the Atocha station, in Madrid, the arrival of at least seven trains that were detained is expected. Click to see the original message in x Open stations as improvised shelters. To mitigate the impact on travelers, Adif has enabled several of its main stations as places of night shelter. Stations such as Atocha, Chamartín, Sants, Valencia, Bilbao, Sevilla, Córdoba, Zaragoza, Valladolid and Malaga will remain open during the night so that those affected can be protected. Besides, The UME has deployed Mantas and basic resources to serve passengers who have been forced to spend the night in the stations. The origin of the blackout, still under investigation. While the recovery work advances, the cause of the blackout remains a source of research. The Government has explained that it occurred The sudden loss of 15 GW of electricity generationa phenomenon that has no precedents in the Spanish energy system. At the moment, no hypothesis about what happened is ruled out.

What happened so that in the long term we lost the race

At the moment USA and China monopolize all the prominence in the field of Quantum computers. His struggle for world supremacy has many ramifications, and, precisely, Quantum technologies They embody one of them. Both countries have reached Quantum supremacyand, on paper, they are also the most developed in the still premature field of quantum telecommunications. However, this story did not start with them. He was born in Europe. And he did it at a time when quantum computers had already been outlined from a theoretical point of view, but seemed unfeasible. Everything changed in 1995. That year the Spanish physicist Ignacio Cirac and the Austrian physical veteran Peter Zoller They published the article which is unanimously considered the cornerstone that supports the birth of quantum computing as we currently contemplate it. Without their work in all likelihood, current quantum computers would not exist. Or, at least, they would have arrived later. It all started with Cirac and Zoller The roads of these two researchers crossed in the early 90s. Ignacio Cirac had finished the physics career at the Complutense University of Madrid in 1988 and decided to travel to the US to complete his doctorate with the prestigious physicist Peter Zoller. His collaboration was very fruitful From the first moment, so together they began working in such promising fields, and, at the same time, as complex, as quantum cryptography or teleport. Other researchers had proposed before them the possibility of building a quantum computer, but nobody knew how to do it. At that time no physique knew what the right strategy was to put a quantum computer. Zoller and Cirac did know In 1994 Cirac and Zoller attended a conference in which other researchers explained the enormous potential they had from a strictly theoretical point of view quantum computers. However, at that time No physique knew what the right strategy was To set up one of these machines. Zoller and Cirac surveys inspiration shortly after witnessing that conference, and realized that they had found a way to build a machine capable of carrying out calculations with quantum bits or cubits. His scientific article was published in Physical Review Letters on May 15, 1995. They titled ‘Quantum Computations with Cold Trapped Ins’ (Quantum computing with cold ions), and, despite their exoticism, many other physicists immediately realized that what Cirac and Zoller proposed had a huge potential. If we intend to set a date to identify the germ that gave rise to the birth of quantum computers it seems reasonable to accept what should be the day in which the text of these two European physicists saw the light. In any case, one of his greatest successes was his ability to gather the world of abstract theories of quantum computing in which other physicists worked before them with atomic physics, molecular physics and optics. In fact, the title of your scientific text already contains one of the types of cubits most advanced currently available: Quantum bits of ion traps. Honeywell or Ionq are two of the companies that have collected their witness and several decades later they have managed to put this type of quantum machines ready. The recognition of the scientific community soon arrived. Zoller and Cirac were consolidated as two central figures in the formation of international research groups, and, above all, both were actively involved in the constitution of European Quantum Technologies Development Programs. Zoller collaborates closely since the beginning of the 2000 with the Institute for Inns Information and Quantum Optics (Austria). And Cirac has directed since 2001 the theoretical division of the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics housed in Garching, a peaceful town located a few kilometers from Munich (Germany). Europe has failed to transfer its academic leadership to the industry The thrust of Ignacio Cirac, Peter Zoller and many other scientists with whom they have worked has not been enough to deliver industrial leadership to Europe in the field of quantum computers. Currently the old continent remains a world power in research thanks to the work that the groups of Quantum Physics of the University of Technology of Delft, in the Netherlands; the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, in Germany; the Federal Polytechnic School of Zurich, in Switzerland; the Center for Quantum Technologies of Paris, in France; the National Center for Quantum Computing, in the United Kingdom; or the Institute of Fotonic Sciences, in Spain, among other academic institutions. Leadership in scientific research does not necessarily guarantee industrial leadership in those applications derived from these technical innovations But it is not enough. Leadership in scientific research does not necessarily guarantee industrial leadership in those applications derived from these technical innovations. This is the big problem that Europe has had. He has not managed to transfer his academic leadership to the industry. During The conversation I held In October 2019 with Juan José García Ripoll, a researcher of the Fundamental Physics Institute of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) that develops its research activity within the Quantum Information Group and Fundamentals of Quantum Theory, this physicist explained to me why Europe does not rivate today with the USA or China, when you could do it. As we have seen, the old continent had the scientific advantage in this field, but lost it because within just five years a few international companies and laboratories invested a lot of money in strengthening a few groups and got an exponential advance in this area. This reminds us how important it is to observe that it is strategically interesting and not lose that track. This field was built by Europe. Just two and a half decades He stayed behind. “Probably the fault is of our scientific fabric, and, above all, of our business fabric, which is less innovative and costs him more to get into this type of risky lines,” Juan José García Ripoll holds. In Europe there are companies that are dedicated to quantum computers. The Austrian Alpine Quantum Technologies, the Finnish IQM, the British Oxford … Read more

Samsung has lost a 30 -year leadership in the DRAM chip industry

The artificial intelligence (AI) is drastically reconfiguring the hardware supply chain. Samsung has led the DRAM chip industry for more than three decades, but the AI ​​boom has triggered something that just two or three years ago would have seemed unthinkable: Now it is SK Hynix the manufacturer of integrated memory circuits that LEADS THE HBM Chips Market so much (High Bandwidth Memory) like that of the DRAM memories. The latter are those used by most of the devices with which we are familiar, such as computers or mobile phones. However, HBM memories are those that are integrated into those hardware solutions in which it is necessary to prioritize maximum performance, such as, for example, for example, The GPUs for ia. Samsung and Sk Hynix are South Korean companies, but the third in discord, Micron Technology, is American. And, as we are about to check, already steps on Samsung. We have a new leader and their figures are objectively spectacular During the last months Samsung has led the manufacturing market for integrated dram memory circuits with an approximate 40%share, while SK Hynix defended A very worthy 29%. Behind both was Micron Technology, with 26% approximately. During the first quarter of 2025 these figures have varied in a very important way. In fact, as I have anticipated a few lines above, now the leader is SK Hynix. SK Hynix is ​​the Nvidia supplier if we stick to its GPU for ia This last company controls no less than 70% of the Integrated HBM memory market market, so its leadership in this sector is overwhelming. In fact, SK Hynix is ​​Nvidia’s supplier If we stick to their GPU for ia. Samsung has an approximate share of 28%, and Micron touchs 18%. If we deviate our gaze towards the dram memory chips the figures are much more even, although SK Hynix leads for the first time. In one of the graphs that we publish on top of these lines we can see that during the first quarter of 2025 SK Hynix it has erected as the leader of DRAM memories with a fee of 36%. Samsung now occupies the second position with 34%. And Micron Technology follows them closely with 30%. Behind them, although they do not appear in this graph, They step stronger and louder Chinese memory manufacturers Yangtze Memory Technologies Co. (YMTC) and Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT). The second graph predicts how the HBM memories market will evolve over the next five years. SK Hynix presumably will maintain its leadership, although it will lose a part of its share due to the saturation of the hardware market for AI and the growth of competition. Samsung, meanwhile, about 25% will be stabilized market share. And finally, Micron will be the only one of these three companies that will grow up to 20% market share. These figures are just a forecast, but they allow us to get a rather accurate idea about how this semiconductor industry market will evolve.

Apple had already lost the battle of alternative apps. Altstore just knew the last blow

The war between Altstore and Apple is a story of victories for alternative stores. In April 2024 we tried ALTSTORE PALthe first alternative to App Store that reached iOS after the entry into force of the European DMA. Although the store had been available since 2019, being able to settle from a computer. The app developers have just tightened the forearm on this pulse against Apple. The application store now allows you to install something even more curious than a console emulator: an app store. The beginnings of Altstore. To understand Altstore’s victory, it is convenient to meet his recent past. In 2019 Altstore was publishedan alternative store for the iPhone. The objective was clear and completely outside what Apple considered in its terms of use: allowing users to download emulators. The installation method was simple, although it required a PC. We had to download a .dmg in the MAC that acted as an installation server for the apps store. Made the process, and notifying Apple that Altstore came from “a non -reliable developer”, the application could be installed. One of its main limitations had to do with the development environment of the emulators. In iOS, JIT is needed (a compiler that allows optimizing its drastic performance), a tool that Apple did not allow in this type of apps. Apple responded with forcefulness. Apple didn’t take too long in Block some of the emulators that Altstore brought to his operating system. The company, since its inception, has been against emulation, Eliminating even your application store Those who have been published. With the arrival of the new digital market regulations, Emulators were no longer prohibited in App Store. Because, downloading a copy of a non -lawful game is illegal, but playing your own copies in an emulator does not violate any law. It is a ball that remains on each user’s roof. The first great victory. In the middle of the storm, Altstore managed to get a font after the entry into force of the DMA. The app could be installed without major problem From the iPhone and its developers signed alliances with giants like Epic Games. The latter allowed Altstore to become completely free. The door opened not only to emulators, but also to clipboard apps, apps for download torrents, and even virtualization of classic operating systems such as Windows 95. A store … that is installed from the store. When euphoria seemed to be able to go anymore, Altstore has moved again. At the beginning of this piece we talked about JIT, the key compiler to execute the Altstore apps. The app developers have returned the classic Altstore to iOS. An alternative store that can be installed … from the alternative store itself. In other words: Altstore Classic can be installed from Altstore. Beyond tongue twisters, this is one of the biggest victories of an Apple apps store. The reason? The classic Altstore allows the same thing that allowed the original app in 2019: install the apps that Apple did not want.

The olive oil campaign is doing so well that Spanish olivers have already lost 270 million euros

At the end of January, the Almazares de Middle Country They were working 24 hours a day and were direct to triple the amounts of olive last year. It seemed good news. Moreover, after years of drought, it was excellent news. But, As we warnedcould become a problem. Well, it is already becoming a problem. But how will it be a problem? I recognize that it may seem paradoxical. We carry several campaigns in which the big problem is that There were no olives. That shot prices, yes: but hardly compensated for the different links in the production chain. It is no coincidence that the world’s largest olive oil company lost 34 million euros only in 2023. Now there are olives. The problem is that there are too many and that the sector is in such a weak state, that it has not been able to contain the price drop. There the complications begin. Have prices fallen so much? At consumer level, not so much. But originally the situation has been very down. To get an idea, According to data from the Information and Food Control Agencyonly in March, “135,000 tons have been marketed (including imports) to an average of 3.62 euros in all categories.” The amount is important, yes. Above all, because (Docked by international trade problems) We have reached a rhythm that can be at risk of the campaign link: reserves that allow stabilizing the price throughout the year. That is, it is important. But the key is the price. What can we learn from the price? Historically, the line of the traditional dry land olive tree I was around four euros. It is true that the irruption of the irrigation olive tree and the New superintenive varieties They make many profitable farms at lower prices, but the bulk of the Spanish oil Keep from dry. And that dry land has been the worst the crisis of recent years. The current price drop in origin puts it in a very complicated situation. A complication of 270 million euros. In that amount, the UPA Secretary General Andalusia, Jesús Cózar, the dimension of the problem. “The olive groves have stopped receiving 270 million euros in the month of March, or what is the same, more than 8 million daily, due to the current situation of ruin prices at origin,” explained. Your complaint is debatable, but makes sense. Because, indeed, “There are no objective reasons that justify this bearish trend of prices at origin.” Taking into account current reserves, technically speaking the price would have to be superior: oil is coming out at a rate that is not sustainable. And that is what worries the producers. Knowing that in normal circumstances, the olive would have to sell almost two euros more expensive and, in this way, the 2024-2025 campaign would have been a revulsion. Right now is just another year of agony. Image | MILTOF | Pom ‘ In Xataka | Right now there are thousands and thousands of tons of olive oil embarking on the United States

"I never say that I have lost weight thanks to Ozempic": The ‘Ozempicazozo’ taboo, the people who hide that they consume it

There is a certain pattern around the social perception of thinness: we glorify it, yes, but we stigmatize the shortcuts to achieve it. AND That little contradiction has become very visible with the rise of Ozempic. Who thinns with effort receives admiration; Who does it with medication receives contempt. “Ozempicazo“It is the derogatory term that is being used in networks to indicate to those who are suspected that they have lost weight by resorting to this drug. Figures such as Ibai Llanos in Spain either Mike Pompeo in the United States They have been suspicious objects after their bodily transformation. A few weeks ago we published a report in which those who turned to Ozempic to lose weight They told us their long -term experience. Today we rescue some of their voices and add new ones to talk about this phenomenon. How complicated it can be to admit the use of Ozempic. Ismael, 35 -year -old Alicante, explains that “people see very well that you are thinner, they congratulate and comply with you, but when you tell them how you have achieved it, the perception changes.” In his case, he went from touching 100 kilos at 81 kilos, something he considers more acceptable for his stature. In Xataka Ozempic will soon become a thing of the past: this is what we know about the new generation of drugs for weight loss “It is a double moral, I have friends who put protein powder, creatine and several more things to be strong, with them there is never a problem. If I turn to a drug to lose overweight, then they do tell me that I have not struggled, that it is a shortcut,” he explains. “It seems that losing weight must imply suffering to be legitimate. So I stopped giving explanations about my weight loss, I don’t comment on, I thank and change the subject. “ Ismael’s point is that no one questions the use of pain or antidepressants for mental health, but to lose weight, pharmacology is considered a trap. Clara, which fell from 87 to 69 kilos, synthesizes it: “I have tried or remember how many diets without results, or with results but rebound effect, and when I find something effective, it seems that it is not acceptable because I have not been enough hungry.” Cristina, a 46 -year -old Valencian, has lost more than 16 kilos with Rybelsus (pills) first and Mounjaro (Injectable and Ozempic competitor) later. “I never say that I have lost weight with Ozempic, nor that it is with a puncture or with pills. I have turned it around,” he confesses. When asked for his weight loss, he turns half truths: “I tell that I did an analytical and saw that I had a little high thyroid and insulin resistance, so they gave me a treatment and that has derived in a certain weight loss.” In Xataka If the alcohol industry no longer had enough problems, it has now encountered one more: Ozempic “It’s like I feel bad to put it,” he explains about his reluctance to reveal the real method. “It is as forbidden, as is frowned upon.” This stigma is so entrenched that even when someone asked him directly if he used Ozempic, he denied it: “I got out of my heart to tell him no“. This contradiction generates frustration:” Now that I think about it, it gives me anger. Why do I hide? If my money I spend it on what I want. “ The Dr. Alicia Taboadasubspecialized family doctor in cardiovascular risk and endocrinological diseases, offers A nuanced vision of the phenomenon: “First of all, I would like to remember that obesity is a chronic disease and in the same way that we treat other diseases with drugs, it is normal to use a medication that has shown to lower weight and reduce cardiovascular risk, joint problems and even mental problems.” According to Dr. Taboada, the stigma has its nuances: “As for the people who hide Ozempic, They are normally patients who have a discreet overweight or who want to lose a few kilos. A patient with morbid obesity has no shame in saying that Ozempic is being punctured. “ There are legitimate criticisms, mainly The shortage that has affected diabetic patients. “The fact that it was so criticized has also been because until now we only had Ozempic, a drug in principle only for diabetics,” explains Dr. Taboada. “The one that many people were using it made the diabetics run out of the drug. But today this would not have to be because there is because it exists Wegovywhich is the same molecule but specific for weight control. “ Criticism increases to public figures that do not transparent its methods. Influencers that attribute physical transformations exclusively to diet and exercise, omitting possible pharmacological aids, They generate unreal expectations in vulnerable audiences. It is complicated. {“Videid”: “X7ZO910”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Added sugars: how to avoid them and improve the diet?”, “Tag”: “sugar”, “Duration”: “220”} “We have met people who do not want to prick, who want to make a normal diet,” says Dr. Taboada. “And really if they do well, if they make food changes, they get weight off too. You never have to force anyone. To clicking you will be easier because you are not going to go hungry, it is true, but if you have a lot of willpower, you can make a diet without the need for any drug.” The rebound effect adds another layer to the stigma. Pilar recovered 30 kilos after suspending the treatment, reinforcing the narrative that the method was not “authentic” or “sustainable.” On this, the doctor is clear: “It is said that they are drugs that should be taken for life, but unfortunately their price makes not everyone to do it, which is the vast majority. The most important thing is to establish changes in the lifestyle, because if we leave that drug, the patient will bounce.” Outstanding image | HAVEREDAS in … Read more

They have lost more than 208,000 million in one day

The already turbulent business of business and finance has been shaken by the earthquake of the tariffs that the US imposed on all the countries of the world, regardless of whether its only inhabitants They were penguins and seals. The immediate consequences has been a general fall in the main stock markets, which has especially affected the titans of technology and luxury, eliminated from a stroke more than 208,000 million dollars of their balances in a single day, According to estimates Bloomberg. According to Forbeslosses for the 3,000 most important millionaires reached 270,000 million.

It should be noted that Zuckerberg had successfully raffled the latest stock market crises, and while most of the millionaires who had donated to Donald Trump’s investiture, They lost about 209,000 millionGoal remained out of losses. The impact caused by Trump’s tariffs has been so great that he has not been able to dodge it. Jeff Bezos, is another of the technological millionaires he showed Your support to Trumpbut that has also been harmed from this stock market debacle. The session closed with Amazon’s shares, the main source of wealth for Bezos, falling into more than 9% in its price. That fall has meant eliminating some 16,000 million dollars Of the accounting balances of Bezos. Larry Ellison and Michael Dell didn’t get left behind in Milmillionaire losses either. The companies of both millionaires have a great dependence on hardware processors and components manufactured outside the USwhich caused investors to withdraw their money from their companies. Oracle’s shares fell 5.8%, while Dells left almost 19%, causing them losses of 9.9 billion and 9.4 billion dollars respectively. Interestingly, one of the least affected by the tariff storm was Elon Musk, the already altered Shareholders of Tesla They lived another day of falls In the price of the actions of the electric car manufacturer, but its fall was “only” 5%, which resulted in a loss of 8,700 million dollars In the estimate of Elon Musk’s fortune, which remains the richest person in the world with a heritage of 378.1 billion dollars.

One of the most decisive campaigns of Christianity in Europe had a lost piece. It has been solved by a picture of the 16th century

For centuries, the camp of Carlos v In the German city of Lauingen it was little more than a scene embodied in a team of the 16th century. Painted by Matthias Gerungshowed in detail the surrender of the city during the War in the Danube campaign. We knew that something important had happened there, but we had not found archaeological evidence that confirmed it and the painting could have been a free artistic interpretation. Until five tombs and a boot buckle caused the painting to become an radiography of the past. Danube campaign. In 1531, Protestant princes joined in the Esmalcalda League To fight the Catholicism that made its way in Europe Thanks to figures such as Carlos V. As usually happens, a religious war began, in this case to defend Protestantism against Catholicism in a war that consisted of bell battles when one of the two forces was considered superior, but also in strategic movements games when they felt at a disadvantage. The League had a huge army, but Carlos V managed to gather experienced soldiers and, above all, a lot of artillery. After a series of attacks and constant harassment, added to the fact that there were league troops that were not too close, it resulted in Carlos V to take control of southern Germany in 1546. He did not mark the end of the war, which would arrive a year later, but it was an important turning point. The picture. The Emperor’s main camp during the campaign was located in Lauingen, a town that surrendered in 1546 and inspired by the artist Matthias Gerung to paint in 1551 his ‘Heerlager Karls V. Bei Lauingen’, or ‘The Camp of Carlos V in Lauingen’. It is a historical piece, there is no doubt about that, but if you have not seen it so far it is understandable because paintings of this style there are many. Or not so many? Gerung embodied many details in the work that allow us to get an idea of ​​how the tents were used, as well as the weapons, armor and clothing. It was so rich that there were tiny details, as ornaments in the clothes or broches very well defined. Was it an artistic license or, was it hyperrealistic? Well, rather … the second. Coincides! The painting represents the moment in which the Lauingen Council surrenders to the emperor and is the heritage of that city. To be such an important place, no human or material remains had been found in the area, something strange that could suggest that Gerung … well, a license had been taken. However, in 2024 the situation took a turn when a group of archaeologists from Bayerisches Landesamt Für Denkmalpflege found five tombs of imperial soldiers in a place extremely similar to that represented in the painting. That changed everything. Apart from the remains, it is not that a lot of objects appear, simply some coins and the closure of a hook -shaped boot. “What has to do with the painting?” You will be wondering, because much: that closure coincides perfectly with some that can be seen in Gerung’s painting.

But objects are the true protagonists because, normally, in the tombs of this era there are neither coins or footwear remains. And, beyond that the closure of the boot coincides with the one that was represented in the painting, the really key is the dating of the currencies, which by their inscriptions aim to be from the 16th century.

The next steps of the archaeologists is to continue analyzing the remains found, but the most curious thing about this story is the painter’s excellent documentation to perform his work, since either he was in the place and stayed with all the details or was magnificently advised by someone who was in the camp.
