This is the Shape of NASA's Advanced Toilet for IDR 333 Billion | Practical Stay Suck

The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most sophisticated laboratories ever built by man.

It is home to the coldest location in the universe, supercomputers, and quantum lasers. In addition, it is also the location of the most sophisticated bathroom ever made.

This bathroom is known as the Universal Waste Management System , a high-tech toilet that was developed over six years and cost more than US$23 million (Rp333 billion) to manufacture .

This state-of-the-art toilet was delivered to the ISS space station in a Northrop Grumman Cygnus cargo capsule in September last year.

Unlike the two previous versions already on board the ISS space station, NASA's new space toilet is designed to work with a variety of future manned spacecraft.

In the near future, this state-of-the-art toilet will also be installed in Orion, the capsule that will take NASA astronauts to the moon in the next few years.

Melissa McKinley, leader of the NASA team working on the Universal Waste Management System , said the toilet could eventually also be used on a lunar spacecraft or on a spacecraft headed to Mars.

But before that happened, NASA sent it to the ISS for a three-year test to make sure everything went according to plan.

This state-of-the-art toilet is a white cylinder that has many of the features of previous NASA space toilet designs.

 This toilet has a funnel to suck out pee, a waste compactor where astronauts defecate, and a seat with protruding lips around a small opening.

One of the biggest differences in NASA's new toilets is that they are compact and fully equipped, whereas the old ISS toilets are hidden behind bulkheads and make repairs difficult.

The toilet also has a system built to treat urine before it is piped into the space station's life support system for recycling into water.

But McKinley said one of the biggest changes was changing the design to better cater to the needs of female crew members.

"It was more complicated for the female crew to urinate and defecate at the same time because of the location of the urinary tract and where they had to position themselves to defecate," says McKinley.

There is a problem with the proximity of the urinary tract and bowel movements in women. So the seat and urinary tract have both been engineered to help the female crew.

The new version will be housed in a cubicle next to the existing toilet on the ISS, but the cabin is not designed to accommodate two side-by-side bathrooms.

So early last year, astronauts on the space station got to work preparing a new laboratory toilet. While erecting a new cubicle, the old room toilet leaked and spilled several liters of water before being repaired.

The toilets on the ISS have failed several times, but McKinley hopes NASA's new, simpler design will help avoid this problem in the future.

Where Does the Waste Go?

Well, have you ever thought about how astronauts on the ISS defecate or defecate ? How do they 'dispose' the waste? Turns out there's a way.

As we know urine is made up of more than 90% water. Because water is heavy it also takes up a lot of space, so it's better to recycle pee.

All astronaut urine collected is also converted back so that it turns into clean, drinkable water. What? Drink? Yes, that's right to drink!

Sometimes even astronaut poop is brought back to Earth for scientists to study, but some bathroom waste, including dirt, of course, is burned.

The waste is sucked up in a garbage bag and placed in an airtight container. Astronauts also put down toilet paper, tissues, and gloves.

Using these gloves helps keep everything clean even in the container too. The containers are then loaded onto cargo ships that carry supplies to the space station.

Then this cargo ship is then launched to Earth and finally burns up in Earth's upper atmosphere.

So, if you've ever seen a shooting star, it's probably not a meteorite burning up in Earth's atmosphere. It could be the burning astronaut shit. Beautiful isn't it?

370 KM Giant Comet Approaching Earth | Rare Event!

 

Astronomers reported that a giant comet that has the size of a dwarf planet is hurtling toward Earth .

This celestial object is said to have a size between 64-230 miles (100-370 km) and is expected to reach its closest point to Earth in 2031.

This comet made of ice and rock is known as 2014 UN271. Astronomers have identified the object through the findings of the Dark Energy Survey .

It is even more interesting to mention that its approach to Earth is a rare event because it will be the period of its approach to Earth for the first time in 600,000 years.

In addition, astronomers were also surprised by the orbit of this comet that moves through the inner solar system as well as the Oort cloud.

Another unique fact is that this comet orbits a vast and mysterious region in our solar system, and it took about 612,190 years to complete.

Comet 2014 UN271 is currently about 22 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun, of which one AU is about 150 million kilometers or the Earth-Sun average distance.

Astronomers data show that this object covered a distance of seven AU in just one year. This means that this comet will have a distance of 10.9 AU (1.6 billion kilometers) from the Sun in 2031 or almost about the distance of the Planet Saturn-Sun.

So from now until 2031, this celestial object is predicted to develop a comet tail from its icy material on the surface that evaporates due to the heat of the Sun.

Launching from the Daily Mail , Thursday (24/6/2021), experts say comet 2014 UN271 will be as bright as Pluto in the night sky, but most likely only reaches the brightness of Charon, Pluto's satellite.

So in other words, it is impossible for amateur sky watchers in the future to be able to see this comet without a capable telescope.

Citing via Syfy Ware , although starting to make its closest approach to Earth, this comet is no closer than about 1.5 billion kilometers. This means that the Earth is not in a dangerous path when this comet passes.

FBI Reveals Alleged UFO Flying at Dangerous Speed ​​Over US Air Base

 

Some time ago the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed a dangerous foreign object suspected to be a UFO flying over the United States Air Base.

The object was flying at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, and was unable to be caught by police helicopters. The alien object then disappeared at an altitude of 4,000 meters.

Reporting from The Drive , documents published by the FBI explain that the foreign object was being chased by border and customs officials .

This was done after the suspected UFO appeared above the gas tank west of Davis-Monthan Air Base, Arizona on Tuesday (09/02/2021).

Quoted from the Daily Star , local officials report that the flying object emits a green glow beneath it.

"This makes it difficult for police scouts to observe him through night vision goggles," the report said.

The FBI also confirmed that no officers were injured or similar incidents were caused by the unidentified flying object.

Apart from being a UFO, the object was also suspected of being a drone .

"While the drones did not make direct contact with the aircraft or make pilots perform evasive maneuvers, their actions are still illegal and extremely dangerous," he added.

An FBI spokesman said the Customs and Border Protection helicopter pilot discovered an unidentified object flying dangerously in the vicinity of their helicopter.

"In the next few hours, a number of law enforcement agencies attempted to locate the operator of the suspected drone object , but to no avail," the FBI spokesman said.

"The drone emerged from an area about 7 miles south of Tucson and flew over Tucson north of the Marana."

The report also stated that the suspected UFO object flew and maneuvered throughout the city by making a 300-meter flight.

Related to this, the Head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) , Bill Nelson is trying to uncover the unidentified flying object.

Reporting from CNN Business , the former Florida senator and space aviation veteran said that US jet pilots saw an alien object that no one could explain.

Nelson added that he does not believe that UFOs are evidence of extraterrestrials visiting Earth.

"If that was the case, I would certainly know," said Nelson.

However, he acknowledged that it was too early to rule out that possibility. Nelson 's response then raised to the surface the Pentagon 's findings report that will be released soon .

Five sources familiar with the research revealed that US intelligence officials found no evidence that the UFO was an alien spacecraft.

However, investigators also have not reached the exact facts about the mysterious object.

"We don't know if it's an extraterrestrial or an enemy or an optical phenomenon," said Nelson.

"We don't think [this is an optical phenomenon], because of the characteristics described by the jet's pilot, and the point is we want to know."

NASA press secretary Jackie McGuinness stated that Nelson did not form a formal task force to begin investigating UFOs.

However, he rather directs scientists to move forward by exploring every question on the topic they want.

"There really isn't a lot of data and scientists have to follow these guidelines freely without being stigmatized," McGuinness said of UFO research that could be negatively linked to conspiracy theories.

"This is a very interesting phenomenon and Americans are of course interested in it, so if scientists want to investigate it, that would be very much supported."

10 Beautiful Photos of the Moon's Surface Details Taken by a 16-Year-Old Boy

 

A 16-year-old boy recently made headlines in a number of local Indian media. The reason? He managed to capture the clearest photo of the Moon by combining more than 50,000 images!

Even so clear the photos, you will be able to see in detail the small craters around the Moon.

The name of this teenage boy is Prathamesh Jaju who is the figure behind the viral photo of the clearest Moon .

Quoting from Mashable , Jaju, who calls himself an amateur astronomer and astrophotographer, took this photo of the Moon up to four hours to collect tens of thousands of these photos!

"This photo is made up of two different HDR images to produce a 3-dimensional effect. This is the most detailed and clear shot of the Third Quarter Moon Phase," Jaju wrote in the caption on his Instagram @prathameshjaju.

How beautiful are these photos? Here Jaka has summarized it so you can enjoy the beauty of the photos.

1. The total photos collected even eat up more than 186 GB of data! In fact, Jaju takes an additional 38 to 40 hours for further processing of the final photo which is about 600 MB in size.

2. "I took pictures (photos of the Moon) on May 3 at 1 am. I took pictures in the form of videos and photos for four hours. It took 38-40 hours for processing," Jaju told Indian news agency ANI .

3. Jaju explained that his laptop almost died while processing more than 186 GB of data, due to a very heavy editing task.

4. More surprisingly, Jaju is self-taught to learn everything through reading articles and watching YouTube. Well, this is worth watching.

5. "I read some articles and watched some YouTube videos to learn how to capture these images. I learned the process," he explains.

6. This incredibly clear photo of the Moon allows people to zoom in as much as they want without losing detail.

7. The image captured by Jaju also has scientific value, because the different colors shown in the image indicate the presence of mineral deposits on the surface of the moon.

8. Many may wonder why he needed to take 50,000 pictures instead of just one shot?

9. "Often one image becomes pixels and blurs when we zoom in. To avoid that I use a mosaic technique, which in layman's terms is called panoramic photography," says Jaju.

10. In uploading his Instagram account, Jaju clearly explains the tools he uses to capture this photo of the Moon. Such as, Celestron 5 Cassegrain OTA, ZWO ASI120MC-S, SkyWatcher EQ3-2 GO-TO, and GSO 2X BARLOW.

The final word
That was a collection of the best detailed photos of the Moon's surface taken by a 16-year-old boy. Quite amazing and fascinate the viewer is not it?
Do you think these photos are as stunning and stunning as the detailed surface photos of the Sun ?
Do you also have a collection of photos and videos of amazing natural phenomena ?

Researchers Say It's Possible Aliens Have Been Observing Earth Thousands Of Years Ago

The vastness of this universe with all its possibilities, anything can happen. Including the existence of aliens , even scientists say it is almost impossible if the Earth itself has living things.

While humans on Earth are looking for other life in the vast expanse of space, it is also possible that aliens out there are also monitoring life on Earth.

In a recent scientific study published in the journal Nature Astronomy, astronomers have identified 1,715 star systems that may have discovered Earth's existence in the last 5,000 years.

Quoting from The Guardian, of the thousands of star systems, 46 of them have a fairly close position to our planet.

So that makes the planet that is in it may have received radio and television signals broadcast from Earth since 100 years ago.

Researchers say there are at least 29 planets that have the potential to be inhabited by aliens who have the ability to observe and receive signals from Earth. Interesting or scary?

How Researchers Search for Alien's Existence

Astronomers have been trying to find an exoplanet (a planet that has the potential for human habitation) by observing the 'transit' or process when an exoplanet passes through its star.

So that the star will appear to flicker when observed from Earth. So to find thousands of star systems, researchers from Cornell University and the American Museum of Natural History tried to reverse the concept.

They created an Earth Transit Zone (ETZ) by imagining Earth to be an exoplanet that passes through the Sun and can be seen blinking by aliens on their planet.

Lisa Kaltenegger, a professor of astronomy at Cornell University, said the research team managed to find thousands of these star systems using data collected by the European Space Agency's Gaia space probe.

In this way they were able to identify about 2,034 star systems 326 light-years away and possibly observe Earth's transits when it is in front of the sun from 5,000 years ago to 5,000 years in the future.

One of them is the star Ross 128 in the constellation Virgo which is 11 light years away. The star is close enough to receive signals from Earth and even has a planet twice as large as Earth .

If the planet has life with advanced technology, they may have been observing Earth's transit for more than 2,000 years.

Has Alien Life Been Found?

It should be underlined that this discovery does not mean that scientists have found alien life that has been watching Earth for a long time.

The report only provides a simulation, if there is life on other planets. Then they have advanced technology like Earth people have, there is a possibility that they found us first.

Well, if humans are still continuing exploration projects in search of other life in outer space.

One of them is the James Webb space telescope project, which will be launched later this year to look for signs of life on exoplanets through atmospheric analysis.
