A video taken by Rover Curiosity exposes its secrets

by

The Curiosity Rover He has been unraveling secrets of the surface of Mars. But it has not been fixed On the ground this timebut in heaven. Strange clouds. NASA has published this week A hypnotic recording taken on January 17 with the Mastcam Chamber of Rover Curiosity during the Sun number 4,426 of the mission. What we see are bright and bright clouds that move gently through the sky of Mars. However, they are not clouds like those of the earth. They are nightly clouds dyed of reddish and greenish tones that aroused the interest of scientists since the first time the Martian robot looked at the sky. What his color tells us. As on Earth, this type of clouds is called “noctilucent” because they shine during twilight, the transition from day to night, thanks to the light dispersed by the west sun. The difference is that, on Mars, these clouds can be composed of water or carbon dioxide ice. The iridescent clouds, whose colored flashes remind of the naches, are specifically those that are formed from the carbon dioxide ice, which condenses at high altitudes, between 60 and 80 kilometers on the Martian floor. A team from the Institute of Space Sciences of Boulder, in the United States, He analyzed thoroughly from Curiosity images In a recent study. What their movements tell us. These clouds are not only different from the color, but also the shape and height to which they move. While carbon dioxide formations rise and produce colorful flashes, water ice are white feathers that move to lower altitudes, around 50 kilometers, and dissipate when they heat up as they approach the surface . Studying the size and growth of cloud particles helps astronomers understand how planet. The incombustible curiosity. The observations of the Curiosity Rover have been key to understanding the physics of the Martian atmosphere. The images were obtained using one of the two Mastcam color modules, specifically the 34 mm camera, although it currently has the partially blocked filter wheel. Even in years, Curiosity continues to obtain valuable data and continues its journey towards new areas of interest, such as channels and craters that could hide clues about Mars. But when he looks at heaven he also opens a window to better understand atmospheric dynamics and the climate of the red planet.

Low intensity magnetars are among the most unique objects of the cosmos. We are now discovering their secrets

by

The Magenetares They are among the strangest objects in the universe. The key characteristic of these neutron stars is their magnetism, but understanding the origin of this is not so simple. Explaining magnetism. Now a new study He has revealed That the origin of the magnetism of some magnetares, the so-called “low intensity”, is found in a phenomenon we call Tayler-Spruit dynamo. The new job, explain those responsible, resolves a mystery emerged more than a decade ago. Of low intensity. Magnetares are neutron stars, objects of great density that arise after the outbreak of some supernovae that give the death of large mass stars. These objects are characterized by their magnetic fields although, as we have discovered in recent years, these fields are not always comparable. Low intensity magnetares objects have between one and 10 tera-gauss (between 0.1 and 1 giga-tesla), which is one or two orders of magnitude lower than what was used to be considered defining in the “classic” magnetars. Despite this low intensity, this type of magnetar produces x -ray emissions similar to conventional ones. The important difference in the intensity of the magnetic fields of one and the other have led astronomers to press that the magnetism of each other has a different origin. Simulating a star. To understand what was happening in low intensity magnetars to generate their peculaires magnetic fields, the team responsible for the new study He turned to a numerical simulation with which they modeled the magnetic-thermal evolution of these objects. They observed a “dynamo process” (called Tayler-Spruit) that was given in the proto-strolle of neutrons, a process capable of generating low intensity fields from movement such as those observed in this type of stars. Relapse. According to Explain the responsible teamthe key is in the birth of these neutron stars, in the explosions of the supernovas in which they originate. As the model shows, the great of the star expelled in the outbreak ends up falling back to the new neutron star, which makes this faster unleashing this dynamo of Tayler-Spruit The details of the work were published In an article In the magazine Nature Astronomy. Five of 30. Magnetars are objects on which we still have much to learn. To illustrate this a fact can be useful: to date we have only discovered about thirty of these objects in the immensity of the observable universe. Of these only five are what we call low intensity magnetars.

Mónica Aránguez, expert in micropigmentation, reveals the secrets of the perfect eyebrow touch-up

by

He semi-permanent makeup o PMU (Permanent Make Up) It is a technique that consists of applying pigments to the skin through tiny needles to create an effect of long lasting makeup. If you are reading this article it is because, either Are you considering having micropigmentation for the first time? and you want to know what you can expect from it in the coming years, or because you have already had it done and you consider that it is time to go to the salon again to get a touch-up so that your eyebrowswhich continue to be the most in-demand area, look as beautiful as the first day. © monicaaranguezmicro Throughout this article, with the help of Mónica Aránguez, micropigmentation technician and founder of the Mónica Aránguez center, we tell you What aspects do you have to take into account when getting a touch-up? And what about the laser sessions that, according to experts, you should undergo so that the person treating you can work on a white canvas, which is the most desired for many reasons. © Launchmetrics Spotlight The best tips for getting a microblading touch-up First of all, asked about How often should we get a micropigmentation touch-up?Mónica tells us that “one of the factors that determines the time between touch-ups of the micropigmentation treatments “it is the type of skin and the evolution of the pigment in each particular case.” “Theoretically, dry skin retains pigment for longer. (2-3 years), while oily skin may require more frequent touch-ups (1-2 years), as “Excess sebum can cause it to fade more quickly.”comments the expert. “Nevertheless, touch-ups are always personalized and times are very relative,” he adds. © Launchmetrics Spotlight What happens if you dye your hair and want to change the color of your eyebrows? On the other hand, we have consulted Monica What would happen if we changed our hair color and, consequently, wanted to change the color of our eyebrows?: could we do it? You will like to know that, according to the expert, there is no problem, since “the pigments can be modified in the eyebrow touch-ups“But always in such a way that the whole is harmonious and in accordance with the features of each face.” “It is important that in this modification the skin and the natural color of the eyebrows are adequately evaluated,” says the expert. © monicaaranguezmicro Be careful with retinol! The third point that you have to take into account regarding touch-ups microblading is that you can space each other using retinol correctly Yes, this (which it should) is one of the star ingredients in your beauty routine. Mónica has confirmed to us that the use of this asset significantly reduces the duration of the “tattoo”. “Retinol can accelerate the skin cell renewal processhaving a direct impact on the pigment fading faster. For this reason, it is recommended that if retinol is used, it should be avoided. application on eyebrow micropigmentation so that the treatment lasts longer,” says the expert. “To prevent retinol from affecting the treatment, it is important to ensure that the product is not applied to areas close to the micropigmentation,” she adds. © Getty Images This is how ‘laser depigmentation’ works For Mónica, in general, it is advisable to have laser depigmentation before having a new micropigmentation to eliminate all types of residue and achieve a beautiful color again. Now, he assures that “laser treatment is not mandatory between micropigmentation sessions.” “We will recommend it only in cases where it is necessary to correct an irregularity, whether in an erroneous design or the correction of an inappropriate tone,” he tells us. © Getty Images Furthermore, according to the expert, “micropigmentation is not definitive, for this reason if the technique has been performed correctly and the pigment remains well, it will fade little by little over time, and it will not be necessary to perform a laser.” If it is necessary to carry it out, the technician tells us that “To completely eliminate the pigment in the skin, several sessions are generally required.“. He explains that “the number will depend on the intensity of the implanted pigment, the time since the treatment was performed, the depth of the micropigmentation and the response of the skin.” “Although we cannot guarantee an exact number of sessions, hUsually a simple case consists of two to four sessions and in more complicated cases it exceeds six sessions,” says Mónica. © rosiehw In any case, if you are a candidate for laser depigmentation, you don’t have to worry. As Monica confirms to us, the laser is not extremely painful. “During the session you will feel some hot pricks that are very bearable. Many of our clients tell us that they have not noticed anything during their session. depigmentation session“, he indicates. He reveals that “the laser most used for removing pigments in micropigmentation treatments is the Q-Switchedwhich emits rapid pulses that explode the pigment particles and subsequent elimination from the body through natural waste pathways, without damaging the surrounding tissue of the treated area. “ANDIt is essential to respect the times between laser sessions to keep the skin in the best condition. security,” the expert also indicates. Specifically, she says that It is advisable to wait between four and six weeks to allow the skin to recover and see the pigment response properly. © Getty Images How to have beautiful eyebrows between depigmentation sessions? If you are worried about how your eyebrows will look after you have had the first laser session and until you have the second one (if necessary), you should know that after the laser treatment the skin reacts for a few hours by appearing slightly red. , inflamed and irritated. The eyebrow hair will in some cases look lighter in the following days, but it is not permanent. To have the most beautiful eyebrows possible between laser sessions and until we perform micropigmentation againAccording to Mónica, “we can resort to applying colored cosmetic products for eyebrows such as gels, … Read more

We have just discovered one of the best kept secrets of the Mediterranean diet: its compounds

by

There is little we can say that we have not already been told about the virtues of the Mediterranean diet. However, some scientists still persist in studying this diet and its components, with questions about what makes this diet more beneficial or what we can learn from it. A recent study led by researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona tries to answer this second question. Very present compounds. To do this, the team performed an analysis focused on a selection of key compounds that we can find in plants such as garlic, saffron, olive or rosemary, among others. These are plants closely related to the Mediterranean diet since they provide some of the most used ingredients and condiments in it. The team responsible for the study points out that some of these active components are “promising” when considering treatments for diseases such as atherosclerosis. They also indicate that they could help reduce the risk of problems such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Plants and Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet is closely linked to a series of ingredients and condiments, many of them extracted from plants that we can find in the regions adjacent to the sea that bathes the coasts of European, Asian and African countries. The team It started from six “representative” plants: garlic (Allium sativum), the hawthorn bush (Crataegus monogyna), saffron (Crocussativus), the olive tree (Olea europaea), rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus), and the vine (Vitis vinifera). The study focused, however, on fifteen bioactive compounds present in these plants: diallyl trisulfide, allicin and S-allyl (cysteine) (in garlic); quercetin, apigenin and chlorogenic acid (in the hawthorn bush); crocina and safranal (in saffron); oleic acid, oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol and oleacein (in olive); rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid (in rosemary); and resveratrol (in the vine). Analyzing the literature. The team carried out a review of the scientific literature focusing on these compounds and their potential properties in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. That is, we searched among previously published studies for those that analyzed the potential benefits of these compounds. Details of the process were published in an article in the magazine Food Bioscience. Mixtures and dosage. The team explains that extracts based on these compounds are “promising,” but also points out some factors to consider. For example, the so-called “matrix effect”. This refers to the fact that the combined ingestion of these compounds with others can alter the effectiveness of their therapeutic effects, both to improve and diminish these effects. This, together with the greater or lesser amount of a compound contained in a food, means that it is not always possible to extrapolate the benefits of a compound to the food that contains it. Understanding the interactions between different compounds, the team highlights, is “essential” to optimize their therapeutic application. One last detail that the team focuses on is the need not to equate “natural” with the best, even in these contexts. “The ‘natural’ label does not guarantee safety, and this emphasizes the need to prioritize pharmacokinetic, toxicological and clinical studies to evaluate its effectiveness, safety and efficiency compared to existing medicines,” They emphasize in their press release.

Justine Musk revealed one of the best productivity secrets that Elon Musk shares with Warren Buffet: saying no

by

Justine Musk is the first wife and mother of six of 11 children children of Elon Musk. He shared a life with Musk even before he became a millionaire after the sale of Zip2. This perspective of Elon Musk, before and after being a millionaire, has allowed the now writer and lecturer to discover one of the secrets of the success of the richest person in the world: say no. During a TEDx talk in 2014Justine Musk highlighted Elon Musk’s ambition and ability to focus, but also a talent that not everyone possesses, such as saying no. Saying no is saying yes As Justine Musk explained, a good part of her ex-husband’s success lay in saying no to many things that they were going to consume your timeto say yes to others that were going to lead him to success. “He said no to people who wanted his time, attention and energy. He said no in a way that protected his resources so he could channel them toward his own goals. And I understood that behind every no there is a deeper ‘yes’ to what what you want,” Justine said in her talk. “Your deep yes is your right to dream,” the writer concluded. The author of six books pointed out that this ability to saying no is a talent which is acquired at a young age and their children also began to develop it. As Justine Musk said in her TED talk, her children were already exercising their power by refusing to do certain things, thus reaffirming their individuality and the talent of wanting to be masters of their own schedule. However, Justine herself recognized that she herself had lost that ability to say no to others between the ages of eight and thirteen. The writer highlighted that this ability to know how to say no to other people not only denotes power to confront negative reactions of whoever requests to occupy your time, also reveals precision in the management of one’s own time and intention. Warren Buffett has his calendar full of noes Elon Musk is not the only one who values ​​his time above anything else and therefore preserves it from any interference. Warren Buffett is also very careful with the use of his time and has the ability to keep his calendar with large spaces available. This was revealed by his good friend Bill Gates during a intervention on the Charlie Ross show in which both millionaires talked about the topic. Bill Gates pointed out how careful Warren Buffett is with his time. “The fact that he’s so careful with time, he has days where there’s nothing on (his schedule)…sitting and thinking can be a priority much older. “It is not an indicator of your seriousness that you have occupied every minute of your schedule.” Greg McKeown, in his book ‘Essentialism‘, highlights a curious paradox about productivity, stating that true productivity is not about doing more, but about doing less. Saying no to other people prevents you from loading your to-do list with tasks unrelated to your goals, so they should be eliminated at all costs. At first, saying no may take an internal effort, but in the long run, that turns into more time to dedicate to what really interests you.
