Watch .. The yacht of the late “Saddam Hussein” sank in the waters of the Shatt al-Arab • Al Marsad Newspaper

by archyde

Al-Marsad newspaper: A group of aerial photos showed the overturning of the hull of the yacht “Al-Mansour” belonging to the late Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, on the banks of the Shatt al-Arab.

The pictures showed the yacht capsizing at the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the Iraqi city of Basra.

It is worth noting that the yacht “Al-Mansour”, which Saddam never rode, sank in the Shatt al-Arab waterway that passes through Basra after it was bombed by American planes, during the American invasion of Iraq, and then its contents were looted in the chaos that followed the overthrow of Saddam’s regime.

Female passengers fight over seats in train, policewoman injured after she intervened

by archyde

Mumbai: A dispute over a seat in a train resulted in a fight between women passengers. The beating took place on Thursday in the women’s compartment of the Thane-Panavel local train in Mumbai. A woman police officer was injured in the fight. A video of women slapping each other in the compartment is going viral on social media.

In the video, women can be seen slapping each other. A policewoman on duty was injured in the stampede. As they approached the Turbe station, an argument between three female passengers over a seat resulted in the beating. Police Inspector Sambhaji Katare of Vashi Government Railway Police (GRP) says that the incident turned into a big fight as more women in the compartment got involved in their problem.

After the fight escalated, the passengers were fighting each other and climbing over the seats in the video. The video also shows two women bleeding from head injuries. Here’s what police have to say about the incident-When a seat became vacant at Turbe station, a passenger allowed a nearby woman to occupy the seat. But, at the same time, another woman also tried to sit in the same seat. This led to an altercation between the three women and some other passengers also joined in the commotion. Meanwhile, the female police officer who came to resolve the incident was also injured.

Sambhaji Katare informed that Vashi GRP is investigating the incident and a case has been registered.

The James Webb and Hubble telescopes reveal their first images of the DART spacecraft colliding with the asteroid Demorphos

by archyde

On Thursday, the James Webb and Hubble telescopes revealed their first images of the DART spacecraft deliberately colliding with the asteroid “Demorphos”, as astronomers indicated that the impact appears to be much greater than expected, according to RT.

International telescopes set their sights on the space rock, Demorphos, earlier this week, as they conducted a historic test of Earth’s ability to defend itself against a potentially life-threatening asteroid in the future.

Astronomers rejoiced when NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) successfully hit its target 11 million kilometers (6.8 million miles) from Earth on Monday night.

Images taken by ground-based telescopes showed a huge cloud of dust expanding outside “Demorphos”, and his older brother, “Didymus”, orbiting around it, after the collision of the spacecraft.

Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queen’s University Belfast, who is involved in the observations in the Atlas project, told AFP that James Webb and Hubble could provide a view “a few kilometers away from the asteroids, and you can clearly see how matter is volatilized by this impact.” Exploded by DART. It’s really amazing.”

An image captured by the James Webb Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) four hours after the impact shows “pillars of material appearing as wisps flowing away from the center of the impact,” according to a joint statement from the European Space Agency.

Hubble images 22 minutes, five hours and eight hours after the impact show the spread of the aerosols where DART struck.

Ian Carnell of the European Space Agency said the “really impressive” James Webb and Hubble images were remarkably similar to those taken by the LICIACube satellite, which was only 50 kilometers from the asteroid after separating from the DART spacecraft a few weeks ago. .

The images captured an impact that appeared to be “much larger than we expected,” said Carneli, director of the European Space Agency’s Hera mission, which intends to examine the damage within four years.

“I was really worried that there was nothing left of Demorphos” at first, Carneli told AFP.

The Hera mission, scheduled to launch in October 2024 and reach the asteroid in 2026, expected to survey a crater about 10 meters (33 feet) in diameter. However, according to Carnegie, it now appears that the impact crater will be much larger.

The true measure of DART’s success will be how much the asteroid’s path is diverted, so the world can start preparing to defend itself against larger asteroids that could head toward us in the future.

It will likely take Earth-related telescopes and radars for at least a week to get a preliminary estimate of how much the asteroid’s orbit has changed, and three or four weeks before accurate measurements are available, Carneli said.

He added, “I expect a much larger aberration than we were planning,” and that will have “huge implications for planetary defense because it means that this technology can be used with much larger asteroids.”

Observations from James Webb and Hubble will help reveal how much, and how quickly, the material is sprayed from the asteroid, as well as the nature of its surface.

New technique for artificially invoking precipitation in dry weather

Scientific bulletin titles: – DART spacecraft prepares to collide with asteroid Dimorphos to divert its course – The giant pink diamond Fortune Pink will soon be auctioned in Geneva – New technology to artificially summon precipitation in dry weather

A NASA spacecraft is trying to collide with an asteroid to divert its course, an feat that humanity has never seen before.

In a major test of humanity’s ability to prevent cosmic bodies from destroying life on Earth and preventing mass extinction as happened in the age of the dinosaurs, the “Double Asteroid Redirection Test” spacecraft, which is called DART for short, is approaching its target and it will strike at a speed of 23,000 km the asteroid Dimorphos orbiting around An asteroid larger than it is Didymos. Both of these asteroids orbit without any threat around the sun at a distance of 11 million kilometers from Earth.

The DART spacecraft, which is smaller than the size of a car and has a diameter of about 160 meters, hopes that NASA will be able in the coming hours to push the Dimorphos asteroid to a smaller orbit in order to save ten minutes from the time it takes for this asteroid to orbit the Didymos asteroid.

This experience will bring to life what was previously woven into the science fiction plots of screenplays such as “Armageddon” and “Don’t Look Up.”

Minutes after the impact, the shoebox-sized LICIACube satellite that had just separated from the DART spacecraft, will pass near the site to capture images of ejected materials and crushed rocks created by the impact.

The LICIACube images will be sent back to Earth in the following weeks and months.

Also, a group of telescopes, on Earth and in space, including “James Webb”, will monitor this event, and may be able to see a luminous cloud of dust.

The European Hera probe, scheduled to be launched in 2024, will also monitor the asteroid Demorphos closely in 2026 to assess the consequences of the collision and calculate the mass of the asteroid for the first time.

If the Dart misses its target, the spacecraft will have enough fuel for another try within two years.

But if it succeeds, it will be a first step towards a world capable of defending itself from an existential threat in the future because 30,000 asteroids of all sizes have so far been observed near Earth and nearly 3,000 new species are found every year.

A rare pink diamond will be offered for sale at an auction in Geneva next November.

The Fortune Pink, the largest pear-shaped pink diamond weighing more than 18 carats, will be sold by Christie’s in Geneva this November. Christie’s estimated the purchase value of this unique diamond to be $35 million.

The perfect and perfect Fortune Pink diamond weighs 18.18 carats, a number that carries positive connotations that bring good luck to the new owner, according to Christie’s. A Fortune Pink diamond is set on a ring, flanked on both sides by a large white diamond.

Note that the pink pear-shaped diamond has a light pink color and is a brilliant stone that is very rare to find in this size and a similar stone has never been sold at auction. But two other larger pillow-shaped pink diamonds were sold, the Raj Pink and the Legacy Pink. The latter was discovered about a century ago in South Africa and was bought in 2018 by the American jewelry company Harry Winston, a subsidiary of the Swiss watch group Swatch, prompting it to be renamed immediately under the name “Winston Pink Legacy”.

It is noteworthy that the Harry Winston Company, which is currently headed by Nayla Hayek, the wife of the famous Lebanese watchmaker Nicolas Hayek, had spent to acquire the Winston Pink Legacy diamond amounting to 49.9 million dollars in 2018, which is a record price for a stunning pink stone of this color.

To bring clouds to the place of drought and forest fires, scientists from the United Arab Emirates and the North Caucasus Federal University have devised a new artificial technique for precipitation.

It is known that natural clouds are divided into two parts: local, which originate and gather in a specific place. With a frontal pull, it can “go” over long distances. Moisture in moving clouds turns into heavy rain when cold air enters hot. The problem in the UAE, which suffers from drought like its other neighbors, is that frontal clouds pass over the sea and rain falls into the sea before it reaches land.

Researchers from North Caucasus Federal University and their colleagues from the United Arab Emirates are trying to develop artifical clouds by chemically affecting frontal clouds, distributing atmospheric moisture in them and moving them to a distance of 50-100 km horizontally.

These researchers found a new mechanism to solve the issue of water reserves in frontal clouds, extending their life and increasing their saturation with moisture by using a flyer that leaves in the clouds chemicals such as titanium dioxide TiO2 or sodium chloride NaCI. This proposed method will help in improving the climate and economy of a number of arid regions.

The success of the deliberate collision of the Dart spacecraft with the asteroid Demorphos, in a first achievement in history

Scientific Bulletin titles: – The success of the deliberate collision of the Dart spacecraft with the asteroid Demorphos in a first achievement in history – China succeeded in launching two new satellites into space – Corgi dogs prices set records since the death of Queen Elizabeth II

The US space agency, NASA, reported the facts of a spacecraft colliding with an asteroid 11 million km from Earth.

In an unprecedented planetary defense test designed to teach humans how to prevent cosmic bodies from destroying life on Earth, the Dart spacecraft, as expected, deliberately collided with the asteroid Dimorphos.

In live transmission, the cameras on the spacecraft transmitted stunning images of the astronomical body that showed every detail of Dimorphos, including its gray surface and the small pebbles covering it. The moment the vehicle hit the asteroid and crashed on it, the transmission of images stopped. The Dart spacecraft has been traveling for ten months since it took off from California and until it hit the asteroid Dimorphos. The final stage of the flight was fully automated, transforming the Dart into a self-guided missile.

Since the asteroid Demorphos takes 11 hours and 55 minutes to make a complete orbit around the larger asteroid Didymos, NASA seeks, through the mission of its vehicle’s collision with this asteroid, to reduce this period by 10 minutes in order for Demorphos to approach the asteroid Didymos in its orbit and reduce the distance between them.

In the year 2026, the asteroid Demorphos will be monitored in particular by the European Hera probe, which is scheduled to be launched in 2024, in order to evaluate the consequences of the collision and calculate the mass of the asteroid for the first time.

Director of Planetary Sciences at NASA, Lori Glaze, pointed out that we have entered a new era in which we will have the ability to protect ourselves from the catastrophe of a dangerous asteroid collision with Earth, if we know that 66 million years ago, the dinosaurs disappeared after a large asteroid collided with the Earth with a diameter of about 10 kilometers.

So far, nearly 30,000 asteroids of all sizes have been spotted near Earth. Although the very few billions of asteroids and comets in the solar system do not pose a threat to the planet, the danger will become realistic in the next hundred years.

China successfully launched two new satellites into space on the 25th of last September. What are these satellites for?

From the Taiyuan space base in northern China, a Kuaizhou-1A rocket launched two test satellites, Shiyan-14 and Shiyan-15, into Earth orbits. These satellites will be used for scientific purposes, land surveys, urban planning, natural disaster prevention, and to test a range of new technologies.

For the 18th time in China’s history, Kuaizhou-1A rockets have been used to send satellites or spacecraft into Earth orbits.

It is worth noting that China had recently carried out several space launches, most notably with the Long March 7A rocket, which installed the Zhongxing-1E satellite for radio and television broadcasting services.

For the first time, prices of some Corgi dogs have touched $2,690 since the memorial service for Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth II owned about thirty corgi dogs for the rest of her life, the type that the late preferred, after she received in 1944 the first dog of this breed on her eighteenth birthday. Since that period, the popularity of the corgi dog breed has increased by 56%, only to return and its prices to jump significantly after the presentation of the series “The Crown”, which deals with the life of the Queen.

Prior to Elizabeth II’s death on September 8, the Queen had two Corgi dogs, Muick and Sandy, who appeared at her funeral at the entrance to Windsor Castle with two guards as the funeral procession passed. These dogs were adopted by the Queen’s youngest son, Prince Andrew, since he had given them to her.

In brief, the Corgi dog originated in southern Wales, one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom. This dog descended from the breed of guard dogs and herding dogs and his ancestors were from the Pembroke and Cardigan dog families.

Until 1934, Pembroke and Cardigan dogs were considered to be of the same breed. Since then, these two dogs are no longer considered to be of the same breed. The popularity of the welsh Corgi Pembroke increased and the Cardigan dog’s popularity was slowly declining. These two breeds are of medium size, with short feet and erect ears, and are very fox-like with their rounded faces and superior intelligence.

It should be noted that the Corgi dog needs constant stimulation and exercise training twice a day. When human interest in a Corgi declines, he becomes more prone to prolonged barking.

A Saudi political analyst..Putin made the same mistake as Saddam in Kuwait and Russia as a superpower that has ended • Al Marsad Newspaper

by archyde

Al-Marsad newspaper: The Saudi political analyst and content creator, “Abu Mashari”, said that Russian President Putin made the same mistake that Saddam Hussein made when he invaded Kuwait.

And Abu Mashari indicated, in a video he posted on his account with the “Tik Tok” application: “Putin was defeated in Ukraine because of the American strikes and the American weapon (Dukuh Dak in Ukraine), he made the mistake of the first invasion in Ukraine, so he is forced to enter forcefully and cut off the supply line between Ukraine and Europe and descend. In the Ukrainian capital, in this way he achieves his goals.”

And he continued: “Putin is now bargaining over Donbass, in the same way and wrong, and in the end threatens to bomb the Ukrainian army with nuclear bombs.”

He got excited, saying: “Russia as a superpower has ended, Russia as a second country has ended, there is no superpower in Russia.”
