Webb telescope takes sharpest picture of Neptune
The James Webb Space Telescope has turned its sights from the depths of the universe back to the solar system, using the latest technology to capture details of Neptune and its rings. This is the clearest image of the subject in more than 30 years.
Why is human body temperature getting lower and lower?
Human body temperature is no longer 37 degrees Celsius, what is this all about? Is it true that some people say that human body temperature keeps decreasing to prolong life span? Why is the human body temperature getting lower and lower? In today's issue, the drawing board will talk to you about the mystery of human body temperature.

Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted mainly by the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and plays an important role in glucose homeostasis, cell growth, survival, proliferation, and β-cell metabolism. Insulin signaling is essential for glucose metabolism, and insulin reduces insulin receptor (InsR) levels in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. However, the mechanisms regulating the reduction of InsR after insulin stimulation are still poorly understood.

A recent major study conducted by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany shows that human activities have so far led to a global temperature rise of 1.1 degrees Celsius, resulting in a climate crisis that has brought the world to the brink of five "catastrophic" tipping points, including the melting of Greenland's ice cap.
Why doesn't the space station use centrifugal force for artificial gravity?
We don't have a large ring-shaped space station that uses centrifugal force (or more accurately, centripetal acceleration) to generate artificial gravity because it would be difficult.
Many A-SunPublished 2 years ago in FuturismJupiter is approaching the sun, a good opportunity to observe!
Jupiter's Sunrise Jupiter is the fifth closest planet to the Sun and the largest planet in our solar system in terms of volume and diameter. Its mass is 2.5 times greater than the mass of all the other planets combined. It is 11 times the diameter of the Earth and almost 1/10 the diameter of the Sun, and although it is relatively far from the Earth, with an average distance from Jupiter to the Sun of 778 million kilometres, about 5.2 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun, Jupiter appears bright from the Earth because of its size. Among the five planets, it is second only to Venus in brightness and can reach a brightness of -2.9 magnitude at sunset, which is very dazzling. The best time to observe Jupiter is around sunset when it can be observed all night long.

What does it mean when water is found in a meteorite? Meteorites are more expensive than diamonds? Where can I pick up meteorites? Does it count as the country's or your own if you find it?
Many A-SunPublished 2 years ago in FuturismBlack holes swallow all matter, so where does the matter swallowed by the black hole go?
The matter in the universe includes planets, moons, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters, intergalactic matter, dark matter, dark energy, etc., where stars originate from interstellar matter. Interstellar matter fills the entire cosmic space with an average density of 10-24 g/cm.
