The 380,000-kilometer-long moon is the earth’s only natural satellite. It has been accompanying the earth from the moment of its birth. According to current research by astronomers, it is speculated that our moon was born regarding 4.5 billion years ago and was impacted by a celestial body. Forming. About 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth had just accreted from the remaining material in the solar system. Coincidentally, a celestial body also formed near the same orbit of the Earth. This celestial body was regarding the same size as Mars. It was named Infinity. Oia. Since Theia is not far from the primitive Earth, this means that they will be getting closer and closer under the force of gravity. Finally, one day it will collide with the primitive Earth. The moment of collision can be said to be very violent. Oia was almost completely shattered by the impact. The violent impact caused a large number of fragments to fly into space. Then these fragments gathered near the Earth’s orbit due to gravity, forming the moon. Nowadays, with the advancement of science, we have been able to set foot on this land through rockets. In the 1960s, humans landed on the lunar surface six times. In our continuous exploration, we have learned more and more regarding the moon and discovered that it Played a critical role in the earth. So let’s assume today, what would happen to the earth if the moon disappeared? As we all know, the water on the earth will rise and fall periodically, and this phenomenon is caused by the gravitational influence of the sun and the moon. Although the sun is much more massive than the moon, it is so far away that the moon’s tidal force is regarding 2.17 times that of the sun. If the moon disappears, this will lead to a great reduction in tidal action. The most direct impact will be the backflow of seawater and atmosphere on the earth, which will trigger huge tsunamis and super storms. Coastal cities around the world will face terrible tsunami attacks. , this kind of tsunami is unprecedented. In addition to the influence of tides, the earth’s rotation axis is actually related to the moon. We know that the earth has an inclination angle, regarding 23.5 degrees, and this inclination angle was caused by the impact of the planet Theia at that time. If the moon disappears, the earth’s axis of rotation will become unstable and it will swing back and forth greatly, and the earth will no longer have four distinct seasons. In other words, due to unstable rotation, glaciers may appear in the hot African regions, while deserts or jungles may appear in the cold Antarctic regions. This means that creatures living on the earth will continue to be affected by extreme climate changes. , some organisms may be on the road to extinction. Not only that, if the moon disappears, the possibility of being hit by meteorites on the earth will also be greatly increased. The moon has always been known as the patron saint of the earth. It has resisted the impact of many asteroids for the earth. Once the moon disappears, Then the original asteroids will also hit the earth’s surface. Therefore, the moon is very important to the creatures on the earth. Without the existence of the moon, there may not be life on the earth, and there would be no human beings. Therefore, in a sense, we would also like to thank the moon for giving Our lives! Expand Reading How empty is the universe? After reading it, it may be beyond ordinary people’s cognition!

If I ask the waiter at the local bar for the bill following dinner, I get the receipt and a small metal tray served to the table. There are small porcelain vessels filled with either hot plum or cool lychee wine. The content depends on the season, and it’s a ritual practiced over the years that when I switch from plum to lychee, I happily say “Oh, summer is here!” I exclaim and silently comfort myself at the beginning of the cold season that the plum wine at least warms me. My favorite place is – as you might guess from the drinks – a Chinese restaurant.

Unemployment Rate in Brussels: Actiris Data vs Political Claims
2023-11-07 17:00:00
The Brussels Minister in charge of Employment Bernard Clerfayt (Défi) got a little carried away this followingnoon on X (formerly Twitter). The Défi elected official proudly announced that the unemployment rate had decreased by 3.9% in October of this year compared to October 2022, to reach 11.3%. A rate never seen since the birth of the Brussels region, which has fluctuated between 13.8 and 20% since 1989.

The Schaerbeek resident relied on the latest press release published by Actiris this morning. In reality, explains the press release, “at the end of October 2023, the unemployment rate in the Brussels Region stands at 15.1% (14.5% for men and 15.8% for women). In October 2022, the unemployment rate stood at 15.3%.” That is a decrease of 0.2 points in annual variation.
For the record, “the unemployment rate is measured on the basis of the most recent active population, calculated using data from the National Bank and the Labor Force Survey of the FPS Economy. Cross-referencing these data tells us that the active population has, in the Brussels Region, increased in 2022 by 4.0% compared to the previous year,” the press release attempts to popularize.

The Minister of Employment deleted his tweet half an hour later. In its defense, Actiris’ monthly communications on unemployment in Brussels are very often extremely vague. This popularization work aimed at the general public completely misses its target here.

Nikola Jokic: The Best Player in the NBA Surpasses LeBron James in Triple-Doubles
2023-11-07 17:52:54
At this start of the race, Nikola Jokic has confirmed what many think following the previous two harvests. That he is the best player in the NBA, even above the current version of LeBron James.
Well, the Serbian center achieved a new record on Monday, at the expense of the winner of four MVPs in both the regular round and the league finals.
Indeed, “The Joker” added 35 points with 14 rebounds and 12 assists to lead his Denver Nuggets’ victory 134×116 over the New Orleans Pelicans. In this way, he reached 108 triple-doubles in NBA qualifying stages, surpassing the record of “King James” and former point guard Jason Kidd.
Now, Jokic is 20 behind the legendary Magic Johnson’s 138, although he is still far from Oscar Robertson’s 181 and the all-time leader in double-digit games in three different categories, Russell Westbrook’s 198.

Although Denver’s favoritism to endorse the crown in 2023-2024 faltered as a result of the reinforcements that came to the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and the two Los Angeles teams, Lakers and Clippers, the reality is that Nikola Jokic has guided the Nuggets themselves to the best record of these first 15 days of action in the NBA, courtesy of 7-1. Something that LeBron James has not been able to do with those in yellow and purple.
