The 1,000 kW chargers of Byd will be a reality in Europe in 2026. Their challenge is to show us their true utility

by

It is expected for the second quarter of 2026 with “200-300 stations”, in Byd words. The Chinese company has taken advantage of the Münich IAA Mobility to confirm that next year its expansion of 1 MW chargers (or 1,000 kW) in Europe will begin. Is there any reason for it? 400 kilometers in five minutes. It is the great promise of byd: get a recharge for an electric car to be so or faster than filling the deposit of a combustion vehicle. Those who use their 1 MW chargers and those who do so in Europe from the second quarter of 2026 can be done in China. Because Stella Li, vice president of the company, has taken advantage of her presentation in the last Münich Motor Show To confirm that next year the deployment of what they call will begin Flash charge with a first landing between 200 and 300 recharge points. Denza. This initiative will be focused on the arrival of Devza, one of Byd’s luxury firms. The company already presented us a few months ago Denza z9gtthe first car with which they will arrive in Europe (in our case we tested the plug -in hybrid). A commitment to maximum luxury without giving up sportsmanship. In their presentation, in Byd they did not get wet with the volume they expect to attract nor confirmed the price that could easily exceed the border of the 100,000 euros. In that price range, a new and China company has it really complicated, so the denza launch is understood within a strategy in which it is committed to demonstrating the latest innovations of the brand. Flexibility. Right now, in Europe there is no car capable of loading the famous power of 1,000 kW. And, in fact, Byd herself has barely two models in China that are capable of admitting those 400 kilometers of autonomy in five minutes. The proposal we see there is based on the use of two 500 kW plugs, allowing the loads to be more flexible. With 1,000 kW you can load an advanced electric car but also an electric truck or two cars that, again, have the last market technology. Dead? The big doubt is whether these chargers are born or not dead. In Europe there is no car that can assume these load powers. However, the latest releases of the Mercedes GLC and the BMW IX3 They have shown that manufacturers and public are especially interested in shortening waiting times. The Mercedes can recharge its batteries at 330 kW and the BMW will leave to 400 kW. He Mercedes Cla He also appeared with the incentive of being able to recharge to 320 kW. The most advanced cars are starting to leave behind the border of the 300 kW … but for now there are not many plugs that offer this possibility. In Spain, companies such as Zunder or Repsol already offer 400 kW load points. And Ionity has announced that it begins to display 600 kW loaders. They are powers that, as we see, almost no car can use but its goal is to take advantage in what is to come. Reference. Putting chargers of 1 MW of power that, in addition, become two 500 kW plugs, byd intends to position themselves as a reference firm. At the moment, it is an investment that should not generate a great economic revenue, because they will be oversized for European cars, but it does position the company among the best. In addition, having the cars that can recharge to this power exclusively will serve to make visible the brand. Probably, he will not turn his models into supervants (within the segment, of course) but will add to make himself known among the less interested public in the car market. One more challenge. With everything and although we think of the ultra -grape loaders of ByD as in a long -term investment, the company has the need to attract the public. And that will be achieved only in two ways. The first thing is becoming visible in applications of the mobile phones of the users of the electric car and, second, in the Google browsers for the cars that work with them or that of the rival companies. And, for this, you will have to have a price according to the market. With a completely oversized load power, Byd cannot press above since the client whose cars are left in 300 kW or less will be underutilizing the station. There are more and more chargers of this type that fit more to the real performance of the car and break the market above will not help its deployment. On the contrary, proposing a payment system similar to that of Tesla or opening the hand with their own customers, knowing that the denza cars will not be large supervants, will allow the company to create brand image and generate interest on it.

200 people paid to see a drone show in Valencia. The problem is that the event did not exist

by

Shopping Tickets Online for an event that you have seen promoted on social networks and, when you arrive at the place and time where it should be held, there is nothing. This is what dozens of people have lived in Valencia, but it is happening in several areas such as the Booking accommodation or Airbnb. What happened. According to the complaint of an individual who collects the EFE agencyabout 200 people were on August 15 to the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia to go to a drone show event. They had paid 17 euros for each ticket, a price with reasonable appearance. The problem? Although the complainant victim received confirmation notices of purchase of two tickets by SMS, when there was no festival or event of drones. Everything was the result of an online scam, the police told the attendees. And the worst part is that there has also been ticket sales for days 21, 22, 23, 29, 30 and 31. The medium. According to the complaint, the false event was promoted on Instagram, which boosted its reach despite the fact that the festival did not appear in any public calendar of place activities. For the scam, According to Drone Show Festivalwhich are event organizers (but free) with drones, used images and videos of their shows Attendees thought it was something real seeing that there are companies like FLOCK DRONE ART They are dedicated to this. The notice was not enough. Both Drone Show Festival and the official account of the City of Arts and Sciences sent messages in their Official channels warning that they were not organizing any drones festival in the complex. They did it on June 14 in the morning and in the afternoon, day and a half before the false event was celebrated. However, that did not prevent dozens of people from being gathered in full heat wave. Click the image to access the publication. More false events. The scam with drones is not thought only for Valencia. The promotional publication also announced events in Seville, Barcelona Madrid or Bilbao. From the Union of Consumer of Valencia, they affirm that They will denounce the facts before the National Court This week, as well as the General Directorate of Consumption of the Generalitat. They have called for affected people, and have offered to process the relevant claims for free. Online scams are triggered. According to the National Cybersecurity Institute (INCIBE), in 2024 More than 97,000 cyber attacks were recorded16% more than in 2023. The problem is that that year there were already Growing up 24% compared to 2022. According to the institution, in 2023, three out of ten incidents were online fraud.

A student from Girona set up his Cybercrime Office at home. His mistake was to show off his robberies on the Internet

by

A joint operation of Mossos d’Esquadra and National Police He has arrested a hacker in Roses (Girona) Responsible for several cyber attacks operating from a sophisticated technological network … in their own home. Why is it important. The detainee had managed to configure a technological network complex using anonymous applications that allowed him to hide his trail while attacked financial institutions, private companies and public bodies. The researchers discovered that the hacker, a young computer student with very advanced knowledge, stole personal databases of employees and clients, as well as confidential internal documents. Then he sold this information in forums of the Dark Web or published it without asking for anything in return. What has happened. The investigation started in May 2024, when the agents detected in a forum that someone presumed to have data from Spanish banks, a self -school and a public university. The same subject later claimed to have filtered the database of a Barcelona plumbing company. After an arduous discouragement of desanimization, the researchers located Roses’s address from where the attacks were launched. The subsequent investigations identified the inhabitants of the house, including the young computer student. In detail. During the record they seized: A laptop. A dozen mobile phones. Several hard drives. More than thirty SIM cards. Several bank cards in the name of different people. The detainee made available to the Court of Guard of Figueres for a crime of discovery and revelation of secrets. And now what. The investigation remains active to locate new victims and clarify all the scams that this person may have committed using stolen data to the affected entities.

a show similar to wrestling

by

The evening 5 It was finally celebrated This last Saturday, and as expected, he was not exempt from controversy: of all the fighting, no doubt one of those who generated more expectation for the characteristics of the combatants was that of Abby against Roro. More than a confrontation, almost a declaration of intentions of the event and the response to many doubts about what the evening has in common and what not with traditional sport. The fight. The two boxers appeared to combat after notable sacrifices: Roro in a spectacular physical form and Abby forced to get off the 57 kilos to compete. The stature difference forced Roro to go back to Abby to corner her, while he made a first and third higher assaults, connecting more blows to his rival. In addition, Roro fractured the leg with which he had already had problems during his training. Finally, The jury failed in favor of Abbywhat generated boos for the winner, who had already been booed at her entrance to the ring. Because here not everything is related to sport. Sport theft. The real battle had begun long before they both climbed into the ring. From the first instant, the public made clear his preference for Roro, plasma some live some previous surveys of the organization that gave 78% support to this. Abby’s boos were constant, even at the time she was declared winner. The perception of “theft”, one of the many inherited attitudes of traditional sport and serves the fans of a team to justify their defeat, in a perfectly normalized vocabulary between the press and specialized journalists. Inevitable politicization. They end in this way of configuring the papers that the two boxers have played since the combat was announced and that transcend the merely sports: Abby had criticized Roro In different interventions to foster the conservative role to please a man and call it “anti -inferable”while his rival has become the last year in Spanish symbol of the “Tradwife” movementa vision of the traditional woman subordinated to her husband. Each one has found their audience niche in the opposite extremes of the ideological spectrum, and the evening offered them the opportunity to settle their symbolic differences in a format with great media attention. A round business. At this point, it is clear that the evening business model goes far beyond the mere sports confrontation: it is not a sporting event that is monetized, but an entertainment product that uses sport as a narrative vehicle. With 80,000 carduja attendees (5 million euros of benefitonly on that side) and a large number of first -line sponsors and with very clear intentions (Revolut, Fintech aimed at young people; Spotify, which dominates digital musical consumption; Grefusa, who wants to rejuvenate his image), to which he adds An extra million euros Arriving from Twitch. Sport as narrative. With those figures, it is very clear that the evening’s proposal has to go far beyond a mere boxing combat: to begin with, unlike other sports, the result matters less than the process. Boxers are rewarded with about 100,000 euros For combat, much more than an amateur boxer charges: they are being paid for their value as entertainment, and because each of them contributes their own narratives and their own conflicts, as it has happened with Abby and Roro and a confrontation that came from before. And it will continue to be like that: exposing yourself in the evening provides content for months, stories to tell, narratives to exploit (Abby has already published a video that recorded a month before combat, In a especially low mood). The combat lasts three assaults, but the media value extends throughout the following year. What comes from sport. Although it might seem that all these dynamics are pleased with professional sport, nothing farther from reality. Above all we have the very clear influence of American wrestling, also More Varietés show than technique exhibition. But on the other hand, there is having found a reef in sports controversies, something that specialized media knows perfectly that it sells more than the numerical result of the Derbies. Training matter. Ibai knows very well the springs that move passions in football and has transferred it to the evening: customize athletes and turn them into fallible heroes with a narrative that also polarizes the public. All this is present in traditional football, and that is why training in the narrative of the evening acquires so much importance: months and months of physical evolution followed by heartwith innumerable previous meetings between The rivals that they primed a story not scripted, but almost. The technique is the least. In the digital age, personalities sell more than skills, and the evening has understood it perfectly. The public prefers to see someone known doing something they do not know how to do, as with most of the Streamers They participate, before a stranger being excellent in his specialty. Success and international copies which is generating Ibai’s invention are the perfect proof that the evening is much more than a few boxing fights between fans.

They show how the magnetic field is invested

by

NASA has gotten into the wolf’s mouth, the place where solar storms originate. The solar probe team Parker has just published The images closest to the sun They have ever taken. It is the first time that humanity sees with this level of detail the ejections of coronal mass and the field where its magnetic polarity changes from north to south. The Sun in the first -term term. When he took the images at the end of 2024, NASA’s Parker solar probe It was just 6.1 million kilometers of the visible surface of the sun: the photograph. That day, the probe not only became the fastest artificial object in history, with a speed of 692,000 km/h. He also used his WISPR camera to capture in detail the crown of the sun and the birth of the solar wind, the constant flow of loaded particles that bathes the entire solar system. The cradle of the space climate. The most revolutionary of these images is that they allow to visualize the weltic current sheet, a gigantic and undulating “sewing” of the solar system that extends from the sun, marking the limit where the polarity of the magnetic field is invested. Seeing it so closely is an invaluable document to understand how the solar wind spreads. In addition, the probe has managed to observe the collision and fusion of multiple coronal mass ejections in high resolution. “We are seeing the CMEs stacking on each other,” explains Angelos Vourlidas, scientist of the Wispr instrument. Understanding how they merge is key, since these mergers can Create geomagnetic storms Much more powerful and dangerous. The mystery of switchbacks. The Parker mission is not just beating proximity and speed records. Its main objective is to solve enigmas that solar physicists have been trying to decipher. One of the biggest discoveries of the probe has been the abundance of the so -called ‘switchbacks’ or Magnetic investmentsfolds in the magnetic field that invest their direction at brief intervals, as if Zigzag. Thanks to the approaches to the Parker solar probe, we now know that these structures originate on the visible surface of the sun and are one of the fast solar wind engines. Also that there are two types of slow solar wind. One seems to be born from large magnetic loops, while the other would come from coronal holes. Touch the sun without melting. Approaching the sun so much poses an obvious question: how is it possible that the probe does not melt? The key is in the difference between temperature and heat. The solar crown has a temperature of millions of degrees, but it is a vacuum with a very low density. There are few particles, so, although they move very fast (high temperature), they do not transfer much energy (low heat). How to put your hand in a hot oven. Even so, the ship needs protection. There your thermal shield of 2.4 meters in diameter comes into play carbon compound. The shield is capable of supporting temperatures of up to 1,400 ° C on its outer face, while the body of the ship remains comfortable 30 ° C. Other exposed instruments are made of exotic materials such as molybdenum and tungsten, metal with the highest known fusion point: 3,422 ° C.

They are not fighters, they are planes of the Slovakia government. The day an Airbus A319 and a Fokker 100 stole the show

by

On the left, the Airbus A319. To the right, the Fokker 100. The two official planes of Slovakia They fly the track at a very low altitude, almost touching the ground, as if the air were an extension of the platform itself. From land, dozens of cameras and mobiles point to heaven, trying to capture a maneuver that seems unrepeatable. Both are part of the government squad managed by the Ministry of Interior. Although they are usually known as “presidential planes”, the truth is that they are available to the President of the Republic, Prime Minister and the President of Parliament, among other high positions. They are also used in repatriation flights, humanitarian missions or institutional representation tasks. An exhibition that broke molds The show took place in 2021and what was seen on that track is not, much less, usual. It is not common for presidential fleet planes –more associated with Diplomatic transport that to acrobatics – participate in aerial exhibitions with this level of expertise. That is why the scene is so striking: a display of technique and coordination with airplanes that, in theory, should move away from the spotlights. It is easy to distinguish the Fokker Airbus, even for the not expert eye. The first, more robust, carries its engines under the wings. The second, on the other hand, has them mounted at the rear of the fuselage, just on the sides of the tail. There are also notable differences on tail surfaces: the Airbus opts for the classic vertical rudder and horizontal stabilizers, while the Fokker wears a configuration in T, with the stabilizer mounted on drift. Two different aircraft, two different choreographies … but perfectly synchronized. As seen in the spectacular video PUblized by the perinakx channel videosboth take off In closed, parallel and elegant training. In the middle of the track, one of the airplanes continues to rise gently, while the Airbus begins a turn to the right that leaves the blue fuselage that is cut against the sky. From the ground, the image is imposing: the red engines, the blue fuselage with stylized wings painted on it and eyes that observe as if the plane was aware. Fokker 100 of the Slovakia government Later, in another video cut, we see them again in action. This time flying separately, but always very close to the ground. The Airbus stars in the most daring maneuver: it approaches the track as if it were going to land, it first supports the rear wheels and, almost imperceptibly, also the front train. It runs a few meters, lifts the nose with decision, inclines the plane slightly to the right and takes off again. All in seconds. All with a softness that makes the weight of the plane seem oblivious to gravity. Airbus A319 of the Slovakia government This air demonstration charges even more value if one takes into account that the Slovak fleet is in the process of renewal. How Pravda points outthe government plans to withdraw the Fokker 100, second -hand acquired in 2016, which already had 25 years of use. Today they are the last of its kind operating in Europe. Although they keep flying – and giving a sound that falls in love with aviation fans – maintenance is increasingly complex and expensive. The plan is to replace them with new more efficient and versatile aircraft before the end of its useful life comes. Airbus A319 of the Slovakia government The protagonist Airbus of this flight is part of the generational relief. It was acquired in 2017 for 34.9 million eurosreplacing the veteran Tupolev Tu-154m presidential. It has a medical configuration and ability to move up to six people on a stretcher. Before joining the Slovak fleet, this same plane had served the former French president Jacques Chirac. They are maneuvers that are not seen on commercial flights. They are maneuvers that require surgical precision and absolute trust. And, above all, in the other pilot. Because this was not a training flight or any exhibition: it was a declaration of intentions. The result was hypnotic, both for those who witnessed him live, and for those who see him from home.

A radar prohibits more than 30 km/hour Alcoy. Men want to show that they can skip it … running

by

There is nothing more human than trying to overcome yourself. To consider a goal and try to go further is an aspiration as ancient as the human race. The same essence of the Olympic Games is that: exceed the maximum brands we know and measure our most perfect physical performance. And if the competent authority prohibits exceeding them, with more desire you try. Run, Alcoyano. It has been in Alcoy, in one of its most central streets, Sant Vicent Ferrer. There is installed a “pedagogical” radar that marks a maximum of 30 kilometers per hour for vehicles passing through the road. A group of countrymen has wondered if they would be able to pass that speed … running. The result: a video that in Tiktok has generated more than 3700 kilometers, more than 240,000 likes and four million visualizations. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok What is a pedagogical radar? It is a radar with electronic panels that show drivers the speed at which they are circulating and alert them if they exceed the limits of the road: if they pass without exceeding the speed they receive a smiling face in green, and if they pass, they get a sad face and the warning in red. They are located above all where the maximum allowed is 30 kilometers per hour, in areas where high accidents or school environments have been detected. In any case, They do not sanction the driverthey only measure and report the speed, hence the name. @cyd_amanecer We are fast #speedometer #for you #alcoy ♬ Original sound – Cyd_amanecer Can you or cannot? The obvious question what we have to do in the face of such a challenge is: Can you run more than 30 kilometers per hour? In the video, in fact, a single person gets it on the hair, but it is very complicated: only elite athletes in very short distances manage to stay so above: The World Record is USAIN BOLTwho reached a peak speed of 44.72 km/h during its historic race in 2009, and its average in the 100 meters was about 37.57 km/h. Uncles things. What we see here is a typically masculine behavior, with a small competition to measure themselves with their peers and evaluate their own abilities and achievements. Here, the dynamics of “who manages to go faster” is a clear example of comparison between pairswhere recognition and status are obtained to overcome others in a public and visible test. In this case, yes, the activity is not risky, a detail that sometimes appears in this type of competitions, where it seeks to demonstrate through virile risk behaviors, such as reckless driving. Although very healthy for the knees are not these jogs. Stones throw, running radars. Actually, it is not necessary to get so transcendent or psychologists: this impulse to overcome the brand that indicates the radar is pure male competitiveness that sets in a large number of stupid competitions in which uncles embark. Reported a couple of summers, when it became fashion stones. Entertain with any bullshit (how many social media accounts you know that are Trick Shots increasingly wiring and demential), compete for anything, male life. Sport as a measure of all things. You just have to see José Luis Almeida Belowing the Balonazos Any child that is put in front of the intuitively understanding everything that leads us to this point: virile exhibitionism, playing regular everything but believing Greek athletes just because once in the courtyard of the school we put a head goal. But it is the magic of sport, which acts as a masculinity standardization device: the body is a performance machine, and attributes such as strength, resistance, speed and competitiveness become male value standards. Therefore, if we measure the same in terms of “running in front of a radar” we will understand the not -so -epic side of the situation: the obsession to compete can convert any daily situation into a “battle” or a “party.” Who eats faster, who arrives before the office by car or who drinks more beers. “Sunday’s hero” who is able to momentarily match the USA Bolt brand for a thousandth of a second. The epic at a very specific point of the cosmos. In Xataka | The human being is not made to run, but to rest. At least according to a Harvard teacher

Byd did not go to the Shanghai Auto Salon to show cars. Went to exhibit power

by

In the Shanghai Motor Show there are 70 car brands. Most come to present cars and Byd comes to show power. His was not a standbut a manifesto. And at the largest car fair on the planet. Its brands – the general byd, the ultra -premium yangwang and the newly arrived in Europe denza– They were, more than aligned, orchestrated. And each model does not seem a simple proposal, but an offensive. Seeing them, no one just described them, but to enumerate their possible victims. The sensation It wasn’t even admiration, but for certainty: just like Huawei with mobilesByd does not seek to compete but to take. Being a national champion, in business jargon, is a thing of the past: now his vocation is hegemony. In fact, his conference was the most often, with the permission of Chery’s, and the most jaleada. Symbolic capital of a new China. The usual byd, which is no longer The BYD base is still that of the car for everyone, but does it with an increasingly attractive sophistication for its customers and dangerous for its rivals. At the Fair, five models of the Ocean series, all electric or hybrids, and all with advances that place them above the price they hold – although the translation to Spanish euros is always a complicated equation. It is, in any case, the old Byd trick: Give yourself to the price of a generalist what others call premium. He Sealion 06for example, it arrives as a compact SUV with athletic design, long muscle. Your assistance system ‘Eye of God‘It comes standard, and has compatibility with the new ultra -grape load network of 1,000 watts. It promises 400 kilometers of autonomy with five minutes of load. And all for less than $ 20,000. He Seal 06its range input version, this logic replicates in a lighter body, designed for fleets, Carsharing and emerging markets. Byd Seal 7. Image: Xataka. Byd Sealion 7. Image: Xataka. And the renewal of already classic models such as Those of the series L They illustrate the maturation of the Byd nucleus: they have not only updated their engines (the new electrical units reach 30,511 rpm), but also incorporate technologies typical of recent high ranges: Adaptive suspensions Disus-m. Total connectivity. And even autonomous driving functions Level 2+. What a five -year is a Chinese miracle today is the new standard. Byd Song L EV. Image: Xataka. The message is clear: Byd wants volume, but also prestige. And unfortunately for his rivals, he not only wishes it but is willing to build it, marked per brand, segment by segment, country by country. Denza, elegance as an attack And if the prestige is the new front, denza is the first shock line. Initially conceived as a joint experiment with Mercedes-Benz and today 100% controlled by byd, this brand is the advance of Chinese electric luxury. Do not compete in volume, compete in perception. And in Shanghai came his most serious offensive: the Denza z. This two -door and four -seater electric coupe is, Visually, a missile. Low, muscular, with a marked waist line and a design that reminds more of a Concept living room than a production car. But it is confirmed: it will reach the market. Denza Z. Image: Xataka. Image: Xataka. It will incorporate cable address, folding steering wheel, intelligent magnetic suspension and premium materials. All wrapped in a body reminiscent of Stuttgart but shouts ‘Shenzhen’. The Z was not the only star. He also shone Denza N9a large SUV and elegant, refined design. Spacious interior, immersive screens, advanced driving assists. He is already on sale in China from 389,800 yuan – about 47,000 euros – and his arrival in Europe is expected at the end of the year with a more enigmatic price than ever. And the N7an old acquaintance who part of the 260,000 yuan, about 36,000 euros, monopolized less premium but more generalist looks. Denza N7. Image: Xataka. Denza N7. Image: Xataka. For a market that begins to look suspicious at the German overprices, denza proposes something disturbing: luxury, but logical. The offensive complete the Denza D9a luxury minivan that has gone from curiosity to supervants in the Chinese market. Designed for executives and families of high purchasing power, the D9 offers a cabin experience that rivals that of a private jet: two rear seats with massage, ventilation, individual screens, panoramic roof, reinforced acoustic insulation and automatic sliding doors that convert access into a ceremony. Interior of the denza D9. Image: Xataka. Its double motorization – a pure or plug -in hybrid – offers versatility without sacrificing status. In a world where the minivan category seemed extinguished by the SUVs, byd the reinvent with one purpose: convert premium mobility into space, silence and prestige. Thus and everything will be complicated to refuse in Europe despite all these arguments. His proposal is based on offering a Porsche or a Maserati at the price of high -end Audi. Of course, if five years ago they list all the already common Chinese brands in our streets, we would have entered the silly laugh. We will see. Yangwang: the national luxury vertex His ultralujosa brand, designed to compete with Rolls-Royce, the Range Rover prohibitive or the Maybach, To those who do not imitate, but who reinterprets them. And from a deeply Chinese look. The very long one Yangwang U8L It was one of the most visited models in the hall. It is an extended version of the already imposing U8. It measures 5.4 meters, offers three rows of seats and a ceremonial luxury aesthetic. The badges, as is the case with the Su7 ultraThey are available in 24 carat gold.

Kukulcán’s show that the Maya created 900 years ago

by

Every year, around March 21, an old Mayan God returns to Earth. Specifically, Chichén Itzá. This complex of Mayan ruins It is one of the main pre -Hispanic archaeological sites in Yucatán and, among all constructions, ‘El Castillo’ takes the palm. It takes us fascinating Since the mid -nineteenth centurybut in addition to knowing him by that name, we can also refer to him as the temple of Kukulcán. And, like every Spring equinox For centuries, that divine snake has been about to come alive to descend through the staircase and inaugurate the spring station. Kukulcán. Although the mythological imaginary of the Maya was incorporated late, Kukulcán soon won a fundamental position in this pre -Hispanic culture. That is, if it were a minor deity, it would not have something as monumental as the pyramid that the Maya built in their honor in the twelfth century DC Thus, Kukulcán is the supreme god of the universe that not only represents wisdom, but also fertility and life. Photo by Daniel Schwen The castle is so fascinating that it is still reason for study todaybut centuries after its construction, there are two moments every year in which their stairs are a footpasted again by a God. The descent of the feathered snake. The structure has a very precise shape and orientation that respond to the advanced mathematical and architectural knowledge of the Maya. Kukulcán is also the God who represents fertility and life, something that can be associated with crops, and the visit of this God is a blessing for crops. The sowing of the Milpaspecifically. Thus, the Maya built their temple very precisely so that each spring equinox, which occurs between March 21 every year, the representation of the snake again descended through the staircase of the temple. This 2025 se esteem which will occur between March 20 and 23. A few hours before sunset, the large blocks of one of the sides project triangular shadows on the side of the staircase, forming a series of triangles that connect with the huge stone head of the snake, Kukulcán, located at the base of the pyramid. Beyond the show. Apart from those huge mathematical, astronomical and architectural knowledge of the Mayan civilization, the descent of the feathered snake marks the beginning of spring and, therefore, the renewal of life. He also symbolized the union between heaven, earth and underworld and supposed a blessing for crops. It lasts little, just about ten minutes and can also be seen during the autumn equinox, around September 22. In the end, it is the two periods that mark the beginning of the two agricultural cycles and it is Kukulcán who gives his blessing so that the crops are abundant. A party. Apart from symbolism and tradition, Kukulcán’s descent by the staircase of Chichén Itzá is a Tourist stop mandatory if we are in the region. This Archaeological site It is, by far, The most tourist point of the Yucatan Peninsula (and from Mexico), with tens of thousands of visitors every year, and the show of the feathered snake is another opportunity to take advantage of pre -Hispanic construction. Now, greenhouses and crop rotation allow us not to depend so much on Kukulcán’s good humor, but we have turned their two annual arrivals into a party that brings together thousands of visitors. It is a show not only because it is the construction of the pyramid, but because traditional Mayan shows and rituals are carried out with music and dance. Chance? That the Maya had great knowledge in mathematics and astronomy is somewhat indisputable, but there are positions that question that all this of Kukulcán’s descent was the result of the conscious design of the Maya. The reason that is used in the re-evaluation Of this thought is that yes, the phenomenon and the play of lights is important during the equinoxes, but the same effect can be seen clearly for several weeks. Rather, instead of marking with tremendous precision a few days of the year, the Maya would have darling Mark an agrarian cycle from mid -February to October. As much as it may be, and it had the meaning that we give now, the architectural value of the site and the architectural intention of representing that descent of the feathered snake is still unappealable.

Now, although that of Chichén Itzá Castle is the most famous point in which to visualize these projections, it is not the only Mayan construction in which a similar phenomenon occurs. In it Temple of the Seven Dollsor temple of the sun, in both equinoxes we can see a solar rays show through the openings of the structure. Also in the Mayapán pyramidbut the big difference between the pyramid of this city and that of Chichen Itzá is that there is no huge snake head connecting with the earth and that, in addition, it is not as well preserved as ‘the castle.’ Centuries after his arrival, and although now he has less work, surely Kukulcán feels honored because his pyramid not only stands up, but for having turned his figure into the protagonist of a party. And that is why he continues to descend for one of the main constructions of the Mayan culture. In Xataka | The fines imposed by Mexico for getting on the pyramids of Teotihuacán or Chichén Itzá

The Webb Telescope observed the black hole in the center of the Milky Way. Has discovered a chaotic light show

by

Three years ago we saw for the first time The Supermassive Black Hole that inhabits the center of our galaxy. Now the James Webb space telescope has opened a window to study its surroundings. And it has turned out to be a chaotic show of lights that never stops. Context. In the center of the Milky Way inhabits A gigantic black hole called Sagittarius a*. Astronomers have managed to unravel the extreme dynamics of their accretion disk, the spiral of gas and dust that turns around it. To do this, they observed it for 48 hours (distributed in several periods of 2023 and 2024) using the Nircam instrument of the Webb Telescope. A disco ball. The observations revealed that sgr a* emits A continuous game of lights and flashes which is characterized by constant blinking interspersed with a series of intense eruptions. These emissions have a weak and continuous component, probably originated in the internal turbulence of the disc, and a bright and short -term component, eruptions associated with magnetic reconnection, in which magnetic fields collide and release huge amounts of energy. Fluctuations can occur in seconds or as changes that extend for days, weeks and months. The explanation. The study of these variable emissions, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letterssuggests that fluctuations intensify at major scales. According to researchers, the small internal disturbances of the disk, associated with fluctuations in density and magnetic field, generate the faint flashes, while large eruptions are related to specific events of magnetic reconnection, comparable to the solar flares, but at levels much older energy. “In our data we observe a constantly changing luminosity,” Farhad Yusef-Zadeh explainsmain author of the study. “Suddenly, Boom! A great explosion of brightness appears suddenly and then calms down, without following a fixed pattern.” This nature, apparently random, demonstrates that the accretion disc is regenerated all the time, causing between five and six and six Great daily rashes, in addition to multiple intermittent outbreaks. The lags. An advantage of the NIRCAM instrument of the Webb Telescope is its ability to observe two infrared wavelengths simultaneously (2.1 and 4.8 micrometers). This allowed researchers to compare how the brightness of eruptions with each wavelength changed. Surprisingly, they discovered that the events observed in the shortest wavelength changed shine a little before the events of the longest. “It is the first time that we see a delay in the measurements of these wavelengths,” said Yusef-Zadeh. “We notice that the longest wavelength is delayed between three and 40 seconds.” This finding is a key clue that energy particles lose energy as they cool, a process known as syncrotron cooling. New observations. Researchers now plan to make a continuous observation of up to 24 hours from SGR A* using the Webb Telescope, which will help them determine if eruptions follow repetitive patterns or if they are truly random. Each flash and every flicker on the accretion disk of the supermassive hole offers us a deeper understanding of physics on the events horizon, one of the most extreme environments in the universe. In other words, it helps us discover how space-time and matter behave under the influence of overwhelming gravity.
