8. Specialists from the American space agency NASA reported the successful deployment of a solar sail in low-Earth orbit. The experiment was conducted on board the ACS3 spacecraft, launched in April 2024. The solar sail, which is a square sheet with an area of 80 square meters, consists of a special material capable of capturing photons - particles of light. Despite the lack of mass in photons, when they collide with the sail, they transfer momentum to it, thus creating thrust. Over the coming weeks, scientists will carefully study the behavior of the sail in space conditions, analyzing its maneuverability and response to solar radiation.
9. As September approaches, many people experience an inexplicable sense of sadness. What causes this autumnal blues? According to Dr. David Rozmarin, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and founder of the Anxiety Center, the early autumn surge of sadness is a normal phenomenon known as “autumn anxiety” or “autumn blues”. The root cause of this condition is a mismatch between expectations and reality. At the beginning of summer, we make grand plans, dream of travel and achievements. When autumn comes, we realize that many of these plans remain unrealized. Those who were unable to take a vacation in the summer are especially keenly aware of missed opportunities. The feeling that “the whole wonderful season has passed us by” gives rise to anxiety and despondency. Psychologists recommend practicing conscious waiting. Perceive September as a time for new beginnings. Make plans for autumn that are no less vibrant than summer ones.
