Successfully, The Hope Probe moves to the scientific orbit.

Image
  The Emirates Mars Mission "Hope Probe" announced Monday, March 29, 2021, the transition of the Hope Probe from capture orbit to scientific orbit, following the success of the first maneuver by operating the probe's 8.56-minute propulsion engines. Thus, the Probe is now settling in its final orbit around Mars in preparation for the start of its two-year scientific mission, and may require only a slight direction of its subsequent course. It was a very important maneuver to move the Hope Probe into the scientific orbit. It was the last critical moment of the mission, because there was a possibility that the probe would be lost during the maneuver. The Hope Probe moved from a capture orbit of 1063 km to 42461 km to a scientific orbit of 20000 km to 43000 km. This maneuver is the last dangerous propulsion engine operation during the Hope probe's flight since its launch into space on July 20, 2020. The scientific phase of the probe will begin on 14 April with a number o...

Efficient Emirati Hands are behind the success of Barakah Peaceful Nuclear Project

Image
  The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) continues to make continuous achievements during the development of Barakah Peaceful Nuclear Plants, in Abu Dhabi.This is done according to a clear vision based on the completion of this giant project, the first of its kind in the Arab world, by relying on Emirati competencies, who were able in record time to acquire distinguished knowledge and expertise in this advanced technical sector. The role of Emirati competencies has emerged more recently with the completion of the loading of nuclear fuel packages at the second plant reactor in Barakah, which was completed by a team of distinguished Emirati competencies in accordance with the highest international safety and quality standards. The specialized nuclear fuel loading team consisting of 31 specialists in this advanced technical process, including 28 Emirati engineers and technicians, undertook the fuel loading process, which requires high concentration and accuracy, by transportin...

A photographer spent 12 years creating an amazing image of the Milky Way!

Image
  After more than a decade of hard work, Finnish astronomer JP Metsavinio has released a 1.7-gigapixel mosaic of the Milky Way. Metsavinho has been publishing his astrophysics online since 2007, but his work on mosaics began in 2009, photographing several nebulae around the Milky Way as standalone installations. The total running time between 2009 and 2021 is approximately 1,250 hours. The resulting image is approximately 100,000 pixels wide and consists of 234 individual mosaic panels, covering an area of ​​125 x 22 degrees of sky. That's a large level area of ​​the galaxy, including about 20 million stars, and the full-size color image of 7000 x 1300 pixels is truly staggering. The colors represent the emission from the ionized elements; Hydrogen appears in green, sulfur in red, and oxygen in blue. Metsavinho wrote in his Astro Anarchy blog: "It took nearly twelve years to finish this mosaic. The reason for the long time period is naturally due to the size of the mosaic and ...

The UAE's national effort in facing the potential effects of Climate Change

Image
  The UAE has taken various strategies and projects at the national, regional and international levels to face the challenges of climate change facing the world, as it realized early on the seriousness of the economic, social and environmental consequences of these changes. In 2017, the UAE launched a National Climate Change Plan 2050. It focuses on supporting national activities and initiatives that aim to meet climate challenges, by achieving three goals:  * Managing greenhouse gas emissions while maintaining sustainable economic growth in the country, * Reduce risks and improve resilience to climate change, * And finally, enhancing economic diversification through the application of innovative solutions in cooperation with the private sector. In addition to its efforts in international cooperation, the UAE plays a fundamental role in the world economy as a supplier of fossil fuels, which makes it an important supporter in adopting solutions that contribute to reducing emiss...

The Story and Idea of the Mother's Day !!

Image
“A mother is your first friend, your best friend, your forever friend.” The entire Arab world celebrates, on March 21st every year, Mother’s Day, and Mother’s Day 2021 may be the top of the search engines, but what is the story of this day? The designation of a Mother's Day dates back to 1912, when Anna Jarvis, an American human rights activist, made several attempts to urge the American community to celebrate mothers. And she stressed during her statement that the term mother's should be singular for all families in honor of their mothers and all mothers in the world. Later, the US President Woodrow Wilson used this appellation in law as an official holiday in the United States. “Mother is the heartbeat in the home; and without her, there seems to be no heartthrob.” While the history of the celebration of Mother's Day in the Arab world went back to the writer Mustafa Amin, when he admired the American idea and began to advocate for it through a group of different articles....

Where did Mars' water go?

Image
Mars was home to lakes and oceans billions of years ago, but the place where all the water has gone, turning the planet into a desolate rock, is shrouded in mystery. It was thought that most of the water was lost in space, but a new study funded by the US Space Agency (NASA) suggests that it did not go anywhere but rather is trapped inside minerals in the planet's crust. "We say that the crust forms what we call wet minerals, that is, minerals that contain water in their crystalline structure," Eva Schiller, lead author of the new study published in the scientific journal Science, told AFP. In fact, Schiller's model indicates that between 30 and 99% of the water remained trapped within these minerals, according to Monte Carlo. It was previously believed that Mars contains enough water to cover the entire planet. Because the planet lost its magnetic field early in its history, its atmosphere was gradually stripped from its atmosphere, which produced the hypothesis that...

The UAE invests in Israel for purely commercial purposes

Image
The UAE's external approach has always been based on wisdom, good management, strategic planning and future foresight, and this approach has proven successful in dealing with various challenges. The UAE has a steadfast approach to its foreign investments, as it has a long history and a rich track record in making the right investments in the right countries, based on the commercial evaluation of that market. The UAE is also a very smart country on the investment front. It does not choose a market to invest in, unless it knows that it is a market that generates huge profits. It does not choose one market over the other for political purposes, as some claim when it decided to invest in Israel. That is, the UAE is always looking for attractive investments in the right locations in a very competitive world. It is a differentiation between markets based on strategic advantages and commercial value rather than on political purposes. It must be emphasized that when the UAE decided to stud...
