The rumors placed the power of Nintendo Switch 2 at the height of PS4 Pro. ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ arrives to solve doubts

by

What generation belongs Nintendo Switch 2. That was one of the unresolved questions about the new Nintendo console. Since the company left the Power War After the disaster of Game Cubeit has gone free and, although technically it would be the first tenth console, it is also logical to put it in the sack of the ninth generation (PS5, Xbox Series x and SERIES s). Perhaps this generations has ceased to make sense when they exist Consoles ‘Pro’but it serves to get an idea of ​​what are the like, at least in terms of power, which each machine has. Answering this in the case of Switch 2 is even more complicated because … we don’t know almost anything about your processor. But with the console in hand, we can get a better idea of Where is Nintendo Switch 2 next to its rivals. And the game that best exposes the power of the new switch is’Cyberpunk 2077‘. It is also the one that surprised me the most and the one that demonstrates what can be done with this hardware if the weapons it offers well Nvidia and its image reconstruction. “The Switch 2 chip does not resemble anything we have created before” From the announcement of the console on April 2 with A GAME RETA among which there were versions of other consoles such as’Final Fantasy VII Intergrade‘,’Yakuza 0‘,’Hitman‘, a better version of’Hogwarts Legacy‘,’Street Fighter 6‘And the aforementioned’ Cyberpunk 2077 ‘, began to tote about the power of the console. After several comparisons, it was speculated with the possibility that Switch 2 be like a Ps4 pro. This, although it may seem little, is considerable because we are talking about A very low consumption machine which is compatible with state -of -the -art technologies (VRRfor example) and that can work without being connected to the current. Based on the filtered and speculated characteristics of the Nvidia chip that mounts the console, a GMLX30-A1 manufactured by Samsunga user in Reddit He created a very interesting thread by renovating the estimated power of the machine and comparing it with other consoles. While Gflops are very similar to those of a PS4 Pro, the bandwidth was considerably less than that of the Sony console. It is something that gave rise to that perhaps Switch 2 would not be so powerful, but even without concrete data of the processor’s frequencies, you have to trust the tests of these first games and what has recently commented Jensen HuangCEO of Nvidia. Nintendo has been creating videos in which developers and members involved in the system share their impressions of Nintendo Switch 2. All are quite vaguewithout much concrete data, and Huang’s is no different. However, it does leave some pearls. Beyond that claim of “the Nintendo Switch 2 chip, it does not resemble anything we have done before”, the interesting thing is that it confirms that the console can handle rays of hardware and the SOC has AI processors “dedicated to improving the sharpness in real time.” That is, although the generation of this Soc It is not the most leading, Nvidia has introduced the necessary processes to climb the image from a lower native resolution in the personalized chip (what the DLSS) and the processors for the Hardware Raytraction. ‘Cyberpunk 2077’, Switch 2 exponent Ok, that says the CEO of the company that created the Switch 2 soc and we already know that there are always inflated statements and marketing in these things, but … What do the games say? In the video we leave at the beginning of the article, you can see the first minutes of ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ running in ‘quality’ mode when the console is connected to the dock. The sensations are very good and it shows that CD Projakt, the study responsible for the game, has done a great job These weeks. Because? Because in the demo that We could try a month ago in Paristhe performance in desktop mode was quite poor, with constant falls in the rate of Frames For the second. In the final version, it is much more stable and, above all, it looks very good on both TV and, above all, on the console screen. It is where it shines, in my opinion, due to the enormous difference between this version of switch 2 and, for example, that of a similar system: Steam Deckalso Use image climbing technologiesbut with a more blurred result in general. But a good way to really appreciate where Nintendo Switch 2 is about its rivals, is this video of the channel ‘THE BIT Analyst‘. In it, compares Nintendo Switch 2 with PS4 Pro and with the weakest console of this generation, Xbox Series S. does it in ‘performance’ mode and ‘quality’ on all platforms and conclusions are very interesting. The first, the resolution. Thanks to DLSS, it reaches 1080p In both desktop and laptop mode in ‘quality’ mode, recessing from different base resolutions already 3 fps. In ‘Performance’, the 1080p are maintained in desktop, but on the lower screen to 720p. The frame rate in this mode rises to 40, but is not entirely stable. In consoles, yes, it goes to 60 in this way. The user states that, thanks to DLSS, Switch 2 maintains an image quality comparable to the versions of PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S, with better textures and effects such as the Environmental occlusion in the Nintendo console with respect to these two competitors. It also compares with PS5, the Nintendo hybrid is quite well stopped, although with notable differences in the quality of some parameters and, above all, a higher resolution in the Sony console. The summary is that it is a very solid versionsomething that can also be seen in other games launched for the machine such as the aforementioned ‘Yakuza 0’ or ‘Street Fighter 6’, both a midpoint between PS4 and PS5, and superior When seen in the version of Xbox Series S. Said this, I am clear that Nintendo Switch 2 … Read more

Elche suffers an annoying tiger mosquito pest. So you will release 2.4 million tiger mosquitoes to solve it

by

The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) has become a problem in much of the territory in Spain. This insect has already settled in all the provinces of the Mediterranean basin and elsewhere in the Peninsula. The problem derived from this mosquito vector of diseases will go worse and is taking some administrations to take measures, some that perhaps do not seem too orthodox. Fire with fire. The City Council of the Alicante de Elche municipality has announced that it will release 2.4 million mosquitoes To fight the presence of the Tigre mosquito (Aedes albopictus) Between this year and the next one. The key is in the sterility of the specimens to be released. Aedes albopictus. The Tigre mosquito is originally from Asia, but it has already been established in Spain and other areas of Europe, especially in areas near the Mediterranean. This species, together with its “cousin” Aedes aegyptiwhose presence in Spain is limited, is a transmitter of some viruses, such as those that cause yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya and zika. Climate change and demographic changes, such as the progressive urbanization of some environments, is making it easier for risk species to prosper in new territories. This may be the case of these gender genre Aedes And also of others, Like the genre Culex responsible for transmitting the western Nile virus. Radical measures. This week, the City Council of Elche staged one of the loose ones that will be freeing thousands and thousands of insects. The objective is to release, between 2025 and 2026, 2.4 million sterile mosquitoes in an area that expands along 18 hectares. According to those responsible for the projectthe effects of this release will be noticed on a much larger surface, about 50 hectares, both agricultural and urban. Those responsible expect this technique to reduce the population of mosquitoes in the area by 80%. It may seem like a pilgrim idea, but the breeding and loose of sterilized insects to contain the population of a species is an implanted measure already in a variety of contexts is the call Sterile insect technique (TIE). The idea is that these sterile males appear with wild females to generate eggs that are not viable. A list that expands. In recent years there are numerous examples of administrations that have resorted to this strategy. One of the most recent examples We find it in Singaporewhere laboratories raise millions of specimens of the species Aedes aegyptiin order to fight dengue. These measures have also been implemented for years In countries like Australiawhere they are used to also combat malaria or zika. These types of techniques are used even with other insects Like the fruit fly. Also in Spain. We do not have to go so far to find examples of administrations that have resorted to this extreme measure. We don’t even have to leave the Valencian Community, where the pilot projects for the study of the TI At least until 2017. In 2023 It was announced the loose of nine million copies by the Ministry. A little hopeful panorama. A summer that is expected to happen to a rainy spring. It is the ideal cocktail for the appearance of various insects: mosquitoes, bed bugs, termites and even cockroaches. The expansion of certain insects can be a more or less important risk to the health of people that adds more mild inconveniences such as bites or material damage. But among all the risks derived from these animals, perhaps the role of mosquitoes as vectors of diseases is the most serious and among them the tiger mosquito is one of those that implies a more direct threatbecause it is one of the invasive species with the greatest implementation in the Peninsula and for the diversity of diseases with which it has been related.

Barajas airport has become the “home” of 500 people. If you want to solve it, it has a close example: the Prat

by

There are 421 people, most live in terminal 4 of the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport. More than half are registered in Madrid and almost four out of ten say they have a job. This is the radiography of the Syntch that inhabit the largest airport in Spain. The data exposes them The country who has had access to an internal document of AENA in which the situation in which the hundreds of people who night night after night In their facilities and that have attracted the focus of today in recent days and weeks but also, unintentionally, they have become a policy throwing weapon between administrations. The ASAE union data (Aena Enaire union alternative) raised the figure to half a thousand people in February. According to your calculations, 500 people were exceeded Those who spent the night at the airport. For days, local, regional and state administrations indicate on the contrary as the cause of the situation in which hundreds of homeless who are calculated that they live in the airport. Some and others They are pointed out as guilty of not finding a solution to the problem. And on the debate of the Madrid airport floats the shadow of what was lived in Barcelona. El Prat airport has been found in the same situation for years and gradually the homeless number living in these facilities has been reduced although always taking into account that specific rebounds occur. This is how administrations have worked. Coordination to reduce the problem Although Madrid and Barcelona They are not the only airports Where this situation occurs, the Catalan airport is known for having launched various performances over the years to try to alleviate the problem. In one of the last counts 108 people were counted living in him El Prat Airport. As in Madrid, some of them spend the day at the facilities while others leave during the day and return at night to shelter from the cold. The situation, however, seems to have improved in recent years although measures have been taken for more than a decade. In Europa Press They point out that the first time it was acted to reduce the non -roof number at the airport was in 2011 when the “then Department of Social Welfare and families constituted a working group with the Barcelona City Council that initiated the social intervention and accompaniment at the El Prat airport.” The situation remained stable but in 2022 the problems returned and the game of competencies and administrations began. The avant -garde He explained in a report that a non -counted number of people lived in one of the airport parking lots, which was being renovated. The voices that expressed themselves in the report made it clear that the administrations had turned their backs. And that year, in 2022, the Generalitat stopped financing these assistance teams and in 2023 the Barcelona City Council did. Then it was alleged that the Consistory of the city of Condal did not have the Competencies To act at the airport. In 2024 no administration did his job at the AENA facilities. That neglect, they point out in Europa Press It caused a rebound in the people who did life. At the end of 2023, 177 homeless people were counted. It has not been until 2025 when the administrations have launched an operation to reduce the without roof number at the airport facilities and have tried to redirect them to the Social Services circuit. That social services circuit depends on the municipalities. Lluís Torrens, who was Secretary of Social Affairs and Families of the Generalitathe has assured The country that the competitions are very clear and that giving support to homeless people is the responsibility of the municipalities. In the Prat, the City Council of Barcelona and that of El Prat had to coordinate to give a way out to these people since the emergency services of El Prat could not support due to lack of means. There, Aena and the municipalities managed to clarify the powers with the intervention of the Generalitat. Torrens, responsible for the actions, defends that it is the consistors who have to put the means but that if necessary the Regional Administrations They are the ones that have to intervene to coordinate the efforts and even provide economic resources to the municipalities if they do not have the necessary means or facilities to absorb people who leave the airport. As for Aena, in February a first drill was launched to try to accompany the homeless people to the social services circuit and try to shelter them outside the airport. It was AENA’s security employees who, together with the police, asked the homeless to leave the facilities. In a joint work, they were explained that they would have to leave the facilities to clean the environment. In Diari ara The march of these people was narrated. In the eviction no confrontation was detected but these people were explained that they could not re -enter the facilities if it was not with a boarding card to take a plane. The device remained a few days and since then groups of social teams are maintained to serve these people. Since then, the without roof number spent at the airport has been reduced to about 50 individuals. At the moment, in Madrid Aena has made the same decision to ask for the boarding card to those who try to access the airport but are only being carried out in the lower intensity time. That is, at night. The Madrid City Council has described this decision as A “patch”. Manuela Bergerot, spokesman for more Madrid in the opposition, points out the measure as “an arbitrary prohibition to people who do not have a boarding card to be able to pass to the airport or who do not seem companions. It is the entrance door to institutional racism.” From the Community of Madrid they point out as main guilty To Aena and the central government. “The … Read more

All Netflix series have the same appearance and the same photograph. And Netflix has proposed to solve it

by

It is a runrún in the audiovisual industry for years: all Netflix productions have the same finish. In the case of the most almighty fiction factory of the moment, it is a problem, and has won him abundant criticism. Netflix herself knows it and has got to work to solve it: a series of technical novelties that want to end what has been known for years as “Netflix aesthetics.” What is Netflix aesthetics? It is about Visual finish of the series and platform filmsthat It draws attention For generating common features in products that, on paper, would not have to have them: romantic series, horror movies and even realities And documentaries end up receiving a very common distinctive bath with very recognizable characteristics: Excess shine and color; or, on the contrary, areas of the plane very dark or unnecessarily in gloom. Saturated lighting, especially in night images. Devotion to neons, in a kind of aesthetics inherited from the eighties (of what We believe that were the eighties, at least) and that is perceived in series like ‘Stranger Things‘. In terms of editing and assembly, little innovative decisions and Manido resourceseven sometimes overexpressive. The lighting highlights details of makeup and the costumes, which underlines how often Netflix productions have a little original or unnecessarily “studied” production design. In general terms, all these decisions lead to a Netflix production being recognizable at a distance, even in series and films with large production values ​​(‘red alert’) or that should be characterized, precisely, by its distinctive touch (‘Sandman’). But … why? This visual standardization is completely sought after, and there are several reasons for it. One is the standardization of the image due to the technical specifications that Netflix seeks. Among other things, A couple of years ago There was the obligation to use certain cameras, the minimum resolution requirements and what percentage of each production could use an unauthorized camera. These approved cameras began being just a couple, but the list has grown a lot since then. As Some observers claimthat list is currently as long as it could be in an independent production shot in digital. That is, you can no longer blame everything to the limitations that Netflix put a few years ago, because that list of recommended material to roll has grown a lot. What matters. The theoretical Haley Nahman It contributed a possible reason for this visual standardization of Netflix, when it began to detect it in productions outside the platform, such as the horror film ‘M3gan’, and which can basically be reduced to a search for “less conflict.” That is, scenarios with fewer elements, or less illuminated elements (more scarce characters, more sober decoration, more areas in gloom …). Thus costs are not only cheaper because you have to take care of less problematic aspects of a plane, but because it generates an “instruction book” to apply in every situation. The algorithm culture. Of course, the Blind faith of Netflix in the designs of the algorithm It also has a lot to do with this replacement for constants: if something works, it is tried to repeat, and that not only applies to the themes and genres, which we have seen with the appearance of clones of ‘The squid game‘ either ‘Bridgerton‘. It also affects aesthetics, and in that sense, manufacturing visual rollers that coincide with the most popular is more than a technical issue. Even the most striking finishes, such as ‘Stranger Things’, find their immediate replica (in ‘Fear Street’, for example). Below the risk. It is not necessary to influence it too much, but if Netflix has become the most popular and followed platform, it is to polish all kinds of stridency or aesthetics that leave the norm, in order to appeal to as many audience as possible. Again ‘red alert’ is the best example: a cast (The Rock, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot) that seems elaborated by an AI, an aesthetic that is the common average term of all spy films, an argument that has been made with an Excel sheet of common places … Beyond the final quality, what matters is to appeal to the most, the better. An improvement. Aware that this aesthetic can have its positive side in terms of effectiveness, but not so much if the belief is spread that everything that comes from the Netfllix factory is identical (and therefore, it is not worth approaching new proposals), the platform recently announced support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. They are formats that allow a much broader dynamic and color range, and better preserve the creative intention and offering richer and detailed images. Specifically, the platform promises with this improvement more precise colors and greater detail in each frame, which will help mitigate one of the eternal complaints of the specyers: the darkest scenes of movies and series barely have details. It is a key movement for a future in which platforms are obliged to stand out in front of the competition. Or at least, it seems that each of its proposals has a distinctive and unique style.

We take more and more mercury through fish. There are those who want to solve it with “design” probiotics

by

The presence of mercury in fish (or in some fish) is A growing problem in the field of food security. Prolonged exposure to this pollutant is an important risk to people’s health, a risk that could go worse in the coming years. Detox, but real. A team of researchers has manipulated a bacterium present in the digestive system of humans to do it Able to eliminate methylmercury present in fish. In a study with mice, the mechanism allowed this toxin to reach other organs of the animal, such as brain or liver. An increasing problem. He methylmercury It is a cation, a molecule with a positive charge, which gives its name to a series of compounds that integrate this form of mercury. Methylmercurio is also the most common way in which we can find organic mercury naturally. Mercury in its different forms is a pollutant present not only in some pesticides but also in Gas emissions to the atmosphere. These mercury residues end up arriving at the sea and the trophic chain, a process called “biomagnification.” This heavy metal tends to accumulate more in larger fish and in those closest to the cusp of the “food pyramid.” And from there, to our kitchens. Design bacteria. The work It started from a known bacterium and abundant in our digestive system, Thetaiotaomicron bacteroids. It inserted coding DNA enzymes from another known bacterium present in the soil, a bacterium with a determining feature, its resistance to mercury. Probiotics The team first checked In vitro that these bacteria had managed to become resistant to methylmercury, and then administer bacteria to mice. These soon were integrated into the digestive system of mammals, which was administered orally to study the impact. The team first analyzed the effect of The administration of a large amount of this compound. They found that in the mice to whom the new bacterium had been administered, the mercury began to disappear shortly after its administration, a purification process that lasted for about four days. In the long term. The team also studied the effects of moderate but prolonged mercury consumption in time. The team altered the mice diet and made it rich in red tuna, one of the fish with higher heavy metal concentrations. Not only did they verify that the methylmercury continued to disappear from the digestive systems of the mice, they also verified that it did not permeate the body of these. The team studied the effect on pregnant mice, checking that methylmercury levels were kept low in maternal and fetal tissues, including less toxicity in the fetus’s brain. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Cell Host & Microbe. A problem that will go worse before better. The study opens the way to the use of “design” probiotics that could help us avoid the worst consequences of mercury pollution. This method does not attack the root problem but, as their own creators explain, it can help us address a problem without a short -term solution. “Despite global efforts to reduce mercury emissions and their accumulation in fish, metercurio levels are not expected stood out in a press release Amina Schartup, co -author of the study.

Disney needs to solve the greatest crisis in the story of ‘Star Wars’. And Baby Yoda has been clinging to get it

by

In Disney they are the first to know that ‘Star Wars‘A considerable identity crisis is going through: the projects that have emerged after the trilogy produced by JJ Abrams have been falling one after another, and since 2019 the franchise does not premiere a new film. However, The Star Wars Celebration That this weekend in Japan has been held, two years after the 2023 in London, has fought to fall that feeling, and has presented a few projects that have new roads of exploitation of the franchise. More than a celebration, a plan has been presented in Japan. What has been presented. The event has served to formalize the return of ‘Star Wars’ to the big screen: the main dishes are, on the one hand,’The Mandalorian and Grogu ‘which will continue the three seasons of the series starring Pedro Pascal and his adorable adopted son Grogu. He adds’ Starfighter ‘, self -clusive film directed by Shawn Levy (‘Deadpool and Wolverine‘) and starring Ryan Gosling. New seasons of ‘have been confirmedAndor‘ and ‘Ahsoka‘And an animated series of Darth Maul. On the horizon, although without date, projects appear as a story about the Jedi origins signed by James Mangold, an adventure by Tika Waititi and the return of King Skywalker. Where do we come from. After Lucasfilm’s purchaseDisney bet strongly with a new trilogy that premiered between 2015 and 2019 and that, although devastated at the box officewith more than 4.4 billion admitted worldwide, The most traditionalist fans did not like to like. The spin-off ‘was only An unexpected batacazo: just 393 million dollars of collection, to which projects canceled in chain followed, including Kevin Feige and Patty Jenkins movies. Series like ‘Andor‘ either ‘Ahsoka‘They achieved the support of criticism and public, but its impact globally was incomparably lower to the movies. And the failure of the Ubisoft ‘video gameStar Wars Outlaws‘He has endorsed that the saga is no longer infallible. The problem of nostalgia. Star Wars’s great dilemma in the Disney era has been his nostalgia addiction and to the Fan Service. Attempts to content the most traditional fans have resulted in products that, or are too conservative, such as the very critical and very unlike ‘The last Jedi’a film capable of being measured in terms of quality with the classics of the franchise, but Densed by fans). The audience has been fragmented: the riskiest projects, such as ‘Andor’, receive praise from critics but They click on a audience and They cost a fortune. What does the new plan intend to solve? The prowned strategy at the Star Wars Celebration is clear: with fans it is not enough to maintain these films and series, such as They have demonstrated ‘Andor’ or ‘Ahsoka’. You have to return to the box office parameters of the films produced by Abrams, that is to say to films-Event that are worldwide phenomena at a mass scale. ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ bets on the accessible and charism of its protagonists (remember: Baby Yoda marked Star Wars even Before receiving an official name); And ‘Starfighter’ seeks a broader audience with a story that does not require “doing homework” and resorting to a star like Gosling, oblivious to the usual blockbusters. But will it solve it? Obviously, it is complicated to predict because countless factors come into play. Projects such as the Spin-Offs ‘Solo’ and ‘Rogue One’ had all to win, but they worked with discretion (or directly) at the box office: their problem was, perhaps, the excessive dependence of the Lore Previous, the need to know the long history of the saga. Superficially, it seems that ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ and ‘Starfighter’ will circulate in another direction, which could inject the long -awaited revitalization of the franchise. An important property. It must be taken into account, however, that since the purchase of Lucasfilm for 4,050 million dollars, Disney has tripled its investment: the ‘Star Wars’ franchise has generated CERCA of 12,000 million dollars in direct income Until 2024. That income comes from the box office of the films, yes, but also from attraction parks, cruises and, above all, merchandising. However, its profitability cannot be compared to franchises such as ‘Frozen’ or Marvel. Internal earthquakes. In addition, the box office is not the only problem of ‘Star Wars’: Kathleeen Kennedy has started a discreet withdrawal of the Presidency of Lucasfilm and prepares his succession. Although Filoni and Levy’s films are still under their mantle, the announcement of the search for someone who relieves what has been Lucasfilm’s great architect since the purchase of Disney is the best example that things are changing in Disney.

bananas prices are in the clouds and the explanation is as simple as it is difficult to solve

by

At the beginning of the year, The Nightmare of the Canary Islands banana lasted 24 months. From January 2023 to October 2024, only in three months of the 22 the banana has had a “remunerative” price. The situation was terrible, almost unsustainable. And then, the penultimate week of February arrived. Since then, continuous increases in the price of the Canarian bananas have created a situation that we have not seen for a long time: up to four euros per kilo in the supermarket and 1.5, in origin. The banana is in the clouds. What is happening here? That is, how is it possible that the situation has changed so much in such a short time? And the answer, although it is the product of two different situations, is surprisingly simple. The first is the week cuttingl. As analysts recognize, on the islands, the weekly bananas cutting has been reduced. At the beginning of March (the latest estimates available), The figures were “Below eight million a week and even seven, which means much less embedded fruit.” That, by pure offer-demand, tends to raise prices. The second is banana scarcity. Because yes, the banana (the “banana dollar”) is the main competitor in the peninsular Spain of the Canarian banana. In fact, As Román Delgado explained in the Canary Islands now“Last year, half of the market share of this fruit in Spain has already been clear.” Well, the shortage of Canarian banana has coincided with banana shortage. The result is that, well, prices have shot. Above all, because the demand has remained. So Sergio Cáceres has recognized itManager and director of Marketing and Communication of the Association of Organizations of bananas producers of the Canary Islands (ASPROCAN), the organization that brings together 100% of the Canarian producers. And it is not uncommon: as we have learned with olive oil, The inelasticity of demand It is the main trick of national producers in times of crisis. So … the problem is already solved? The answer is also simple: no. Of none menra. To start because There are not two good months that can ‘cure’ the wounds caused for 24 bad months. Current prices are a good news, but teaching producers accounts requires some commercial stability. And not four euros per kilo. It doesn’t take so much. Just have remunerative prices for a prudential time. Secondly, for something that is closely related to this: the market is terribly volatile. The commercial chaos of recent weeks makes anyone really know what will happen to product flows worldwide. Who can assure that all bananas will not reach Europe in Europe that cannot be sold in the US (for tariffs)? Carpen Diem. Anyway, it would be fool not to celebrate that the islands have left their peculiar silver nightmare. It only remains to expect prices in the supermarket to begin to normalize and the increases do not erode the demand. In the coming years, we will have to make many decisions around the agricultural sector and the better we get to them, the better.

The sunset images on the moon are more than a curiosity. They will also help us solve an old mystery

by

50 years after the last manned mission to the moon, NASA and other space agencies in the world have renewed their interest in exploration In situ of the satellite In the case of the US agency, this return to the moon has been bittersweet. To the recurring transpiés of the Artemis program The injured arrivals from American private probes are added. There are also exceptions here. Sunset on the moon. The first module mission Blue Ghost From the company Texana Firefly Aerospace has brought us A sequence of images They show us the sunset on the moon. The images are not only striking but can help us solve a question that persecutes us from the era of the Apollo missions. An enigma to solve. The doubt in question revolves around the phenomenon known as “Lunar horizon glow” (Lunar Horizon Glow) and is related to the dust of the satellite surface. This phenomenon was documented by THE SURVEYOR 7 MISSION that he arrived at the satellite at the end of 1968 and was also captured by the astronauts of the last manned lunar mission, Apollo 17. The data compiled by the probe could help us to inquire if this glow is due to the existence of small polka dust particles in suspension on the lunar surface and investigate in the phenomenon that would be causing this levitation in a place with a practically non -existent atmosphere such as the moon. The main hypothesis indicates that these particles could be electrically charged by the effect of solar radiation, which would make them repel with each other and thus levitate. Halo. The images show us for the first time in decades this unique luminous halo. In the photographs, the greenish glow caused by lunar dust in the lunar dusk can be seen. From eclipse to sunset. On March 2, the Blue Ghost module landed in the Mare Crisium de Luna region becoming the First private mission in reaching the satellite. The mission operated for 14 days, the strictly daytime part of the lunar day, that is, until a few hours later the dusk we see in the image. The mission brought 10 charges to the moon NASA experiments. During his activity period he sent 119 GB of data to Earth, of which 51 GB correspond to technological and scientific data, According to NASA. In those 14 days the mission too He could capture A unique event: the lunar eclipse of March 14. With unique detail: from the moon what was appreciated was an eclipse of sun caused when our planet interposed between the satellite and light in those 14 days the mission could also capture a unique event: the lunar eclipse of last March 14. With unique detail: from the moon what was appreciated was an eclipse of sun caused when our planet interposed between the satellite and light of the sun. CLPS The Firefly Aerospace mission is part of the Clps initiative (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) from NASA and the Artemis campaign. This program seeks that private companies cooperate with NASA in lunar exploration in order to outsource part of the agency’s efforts in this corner of the universe. The lunar missions framed in this initiative have been arriving with more grief than glory to our satellite. Only one of the four Missions launched to date has managed to land in the satellite with the ability to operate normally.

Google have been with a problem in the processor of their pixel for years. There is a potential alliance to solve it

by

If you buy a Google Pixel you do it for its camera, the clean Software of Google or the years and years of support. But, rarely, you do it for its processor. The tensor google have been showing behind their direct competition in something key in the high range: the power. There are two responsible here: Google, and the company in which it has trusted during these years to develop its processors: Samsung Foundry. The agreement seems to have ended, and rumors about a new Google Tensioner Manufactured by TSMC they have been on the table for months. Reuters He now collects new news in this regard: the company is finalizing an alliance with Mediatek for the next tensioner versions.
