We talk a lot about the carbon footprint of our food, but agriculture to produce food also uses large amounts of water. A kilogram of beef requires more than 15,000 liters. But there is worse …The “water footprint”, computed by Water Footprint Network (A network that brings together scholars, companies and citizens), specifies amount of water Direct and indirect required for manufacturing various products. For beef, for example, we take into account the water used to grow meadow or Grain After it has been used to feed the animal, which water a cow This is necessary for processing and transporting…

These rare astronomical phenomena were captured as part of a recent survey to investigate the rate of new star formations. As part of the release, NASA / ESA explains that these rare merger events show galaxies undergoing drastic changes in their stellar appearance and content. “These systems are excellent laboratories for tracking the formation of stellar clusters under extreme physical conditions,” the organization wrote. The Milky Way galaxy typically forms star clusters with masses equal to 10,000 times the…

Astronomers witnessed, for the first time, the death of a distant galaxy, which they described as “a truly extreme event”.

This happens when all of the galaxy’s gas is expelled, making it impossible to form new stars.according to a study Published Monday in the magazine Natural AstronomyScientists were “thrilled” to be able to capture this rare phenomenon recently, using the Atacama Large Millimeter / Sub array of telescopes in Chile. Light from the ID2299 starburst galaxy took about nine billion years…

At around 12:30 PM CST (UTC-6), the SpaceX Starship 9 prototype serial number (SN9) ignited the Raptor engines for a second time, followed by igniting another Raptor at 2:22 PM and a third around 3:37 PM . All three tests were very short, reflecting SN9’s first steady fire, which ended sooner than SpaceX had intended to return on January 6th. In the end, though, the short, fixed fires were apparently intentional according to a vague comment made by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shortly after the first. The day at SpaceX is all about the practice of starting the Starship engine.…

NASA’s Curiosity probe captured this panoramic image of Mars in November 2020. NASA / JPL-Caltech / MSSS NASA’s Curiosity spacecraft landed on Mars on August 6, 2012 and has just celebrated the historic anniversary of 3,000 sols of living a good science life on the red planet.Mars Day – called “Sol” – is a little longer than a day on Earth, taking just over 24 hours and 39 minutes. Scientists track Curiosity activities based on Seoul. For example, the rover’s initial photos are marked with a sol number, so a photo taken on the anniversary of its passage will be…

This French wine is really out of this world. The SpaceX capsule You’ll return a Bordeaux state to Earth when it’s littered on Wednesday – and it’s not going to be normal after aging in outer space for over a year.
