Why there are no stars in the moon images?

Why there are no stars in the moon images?


Actually, in the image above this text, the stars are visible. So in most of the images, the stars are visible, but they are so small because the photographer has not used zoom. But the fact is that some of the images the stars seem like missing. 


When the image of the astronaut is taken, the photographer must use the small iris with the camera. The images are taken straight to the sun. And that is blinding the camera. This is why the stars are missing in some of those images (Image I). 


In fact, in some images the stars are visible. They are looking like dust, but when you are taking the cursor on the image, the thing, that looks like dust would be uncovered the stars (Image II).

The reason for the missing stars is that the image is taken to the side of the sun. The brightness of the sun is just covering the stars from the image, because the light, what comes from the sun is so bright, and the person who uses that camera must use the most minimum size of the hole objective. 


Also sometimes there is used the dark layer along with small iris, that the stars would just be removed from images because of that kind of effect. But the bright radiation, what comes from the sun is in the main role, why there are no visible stars. The same effect makes it very hard to detect the planets around the other stars that are similar to the sun. 


So in this time, the conspiracy theorists are wrong. Those stars are not removed by purpose. That means that there is a natural reason for the missing stars. They are removed because the photograph is taken on the bright side of the moon, and the reason for that is that because the moon is a locked object, what always turns the same side to Earth. 


That makes it easy to communicate with astronauts, who are landed on that small planet. The thing is that communicating with vehicle or astronauts, what are another side on the moon is more difficult than communicating with rovers or other probes, what is operating on the planet Mars.

Economics and quarantine

 


Economics and quarantine

The accumulation of a business environment is making large companies stronger than ever. The large companies have more volume in recruiting campaigns than small companies. The thing in the large companies, what is acting in a multinational environment can offer more benefits to their workers, than small companies. 

And that causes problems for small companies to hire qualified persons like chefs if the company is acting in the restaurant industry. The problem with restaurants is that their raw material can be used only at a certain time. If there are no customers, that means the raw material or groceries must throw to garbage. The loss of raw material is sometimes very high, which increases the expenses. 

The problem with things like quarantine is that the big companies, what are members of some chains are more permanent against economical problems like loss of customers than small companies. And this causes the business environment would turn more homogeneous. The homogeneous business environment means that there would be more and more companies, which are members of some chain or company clusters. The loss of customers causes small independent companies like restaurants would face bankruptcy and the thing that remains are the large chains of restaurants. 

The thing is that the big chain restaurants can sell a couple of restaurants or their business premises, and that would bring money to their bank accounts. But if the company is a member of the company cluster, what operates in the multiple industries, that thing causes that the financing for the company is guaranteed always, and even if the restaurants are closed the cluster of companies what would have the business like supermarkets would guarantee the incoming money even if one of the sectors, where that company acts even if one industry is closed. 

And that makes the cluster corporations, what is operating in the multiple business areas and multiple countries so effective. That kind of business architecture guarantees the incoming in every situation. The term "business architecture" means a form of company and other tools, that are used for earning money. So the description for that term in the company, and the public, and how to operate between stakeholders and the other actors like the community, where a business locates. 

But when the company operates in multiple countries, that opens the new heaven to the stakeholders. Company what can operate in multiple countries can make a different kind of contracts with the workers in every single country. And if they are facing things like a strike in one country, the money can be transferred from other countries. If the cluster can have multiple industries, that thing can make it invincible in the conflict between it and other companies or companies and a labor union. 

If the labor union acts in one country, the company will earn money in other countries. That means that the strike cash of the labor union would be ended sooner or later. And even that kind of thing doesn't happen, the accumulation of the business environment would cause that the position of the large employers is going stronger.

NASA AREE (Automaton Rover for Extreme Environments)


 



NASA AREE (Automaton Rover for Extreme Environments)


NASA AREE (Automaton Rover for Extreme Environments) is the new solution for creating a rover, which can operate at the surface of the extremely hot places. AREE-automaton is a new idea to combine ancient techniques with modern computers. The AREE is the system, that is created to operate at the extreme conditions, and the first target to this kind of system could be planet Venus, and this shows, how fascinating tools the advanced mechanics will be. The AREE operates by using wind power, and that power source is effective in the thick atmosphere of that extremely hot planet. 


But the thing is that this kind of system can also operate in underwater conditions, which makes them effective intelligence systems. If we are thinking about the situation, that the automaton would combinate with the powerful artificial intelligence we can combine the benefits of the Automaton and machine learning. The system could operate by using a platform where the automaton rovers would be in the garage. 


Then the system can send those mechanic robots in their missions. The system can make the punchcards for the automaton by using a laser system. The laser system is necessary if the punchcard is made by using metals or carbon fiber, this thing would make them resist the high temperature and sulfur acid, what are common elements of the Planet Venus. 


That means when the system lands down, the mapping system would make the most promising road to automatons, and then the first automaton would leave from the platform. The automaton would transmit the data to the computer, and then if there is something promising, the system creates the punch card and puts it to the next automaton. 


There is also a very interesting thing, what makes mechanic robots interesting even today. If we are thinking about the automaton, what would use the series of gyroscopes for acting as autopilot, that thing makes it possible to make so-called "silent robot". That means there is no electric voice from that kind of machine. 


So if the intelligence submarine sends this kind of system to the harbor, it could make the film to the entire journey. And when the time is full, the system can start to use the gyroscopes and round calculators, which makes it possible to drive the system back to the beginning point. And then the mass memory of the camera can be transfer to the computer of the submarine. 


The thing is that this kind of system cannot affect from outside, and this makes it possible to use it in spy planes. If the spyplane operates above the altitude of Mt. Everest that means that it cannot hit anywhere. And if the plane shot down the self-destruction mechanism can destroy the vital parts of this system. When the spy plane would fly its mission, it can be controlled by a series of the inertial navigation system, and when it returns to base, the ground crew can land it by using a remote control.

Was the real "Frankenstein" some kind of robot?


 


Was the real "Frankenstein" some kind of robot?


Sometimes I wonder, was the original "Frankenstein" some kind of robot or automaton? The mechanic robots were made in the 17th century and the thing in those and the 18th century the movements, what those robots could make were very complicated. The man named Jaques de Vaucanson (1709-1782)(1)created many automatons, which could make a complicated series of movements. 


But the thing is that also Leonardo da Vinci created the automaton or robots in the late 15th century. He made the "mechanical knight" around in the year 1495(2). That kind of the machine is less-known inventors, what this famous artist and inventor made. Sometimes I wonder, why this robot is somehow left without mentions in history. "Mechanic Knight" is one of the greatest inventions or at least works of that man, and the world doesn't remember it. 


And one of the things, that the Frankenstein monster could be was the robot or automaton, which may look like a human. So what makes Frankenstein so dangerous? If "Dr. Viktor Frankenstein" was an engineer, who created that kind of system, there is a possibility, that this kind of system could be far more dangerous than the even expected. The thing is that there is a possibility, that the robot, what uses electric power would load its batteries from the mobile power source, which looks like a ball. 


The robot just puts its hands to the places, where are the poles of the battery, and then that electricity would transfer in the battery inside the robot. So what makes this kind of robots so dangerous? The thing is that the electric component, what is known as the rectifier can turn the electricity to turn to another direction, that thing would make it possible to make a robot, which gives powerful electric shocks. 


In the hands of that robot could be small-size Leyden jars, where the electric wires were connected to the radio antennas in the fingers, which would target the lightning to the target. In history, there have been introduced many peculiar ideas about the "magic hands", the hand-looking shields or prosthesis, where the rising movement would turn the switch, and then the electricity would conduct to the radio transmitters, what is making the "evil lightning" of the Emperor in the Star Wars true.  


But the thing is that if we are thinking that the robot will take the plutonium ball in its hands and conduct the electricity to it we might think that this kind of system might be extremely dangerous. This time the thing that we are talking about is mechanic robots. Not robots that are equipped with machine learning concepts. 


Or the entire structure of the robot would be installed highly enriched plutonium or some heavier artificial elements, and then the high voltage electricity will conduct to that radioactive material. This could be the next-generation nuclear weapon. The exploding man, what would walk in the military base and then explode itself in the area.

What if we will send the probe to Proxima Centauri B?


 



What if we will send the probe to Proxima Centauri B?


This is one of the most fascinating ideas, that I have faced. The interstellar flight to the closest star of the Sun is one of the most interesting and difficult things, what we can imagine, and the fact is that we cannot even handle the interplanetary flight, and that means the journey to that planet would take an extremely long time.


If we would create the lightweight antimatter rocket, what will reach the speed of 20% of the speed of the light, that rocket can reach the Proxima Centauri B about 21 years after the launch. The distance Proxima Centauri is 4,244 LY (1) and that is the only star, where we could send a probe in realistic visions. But the project itself would take tens of years. 


So for making the mission successful, that system requires sophisticated artificial intelligence. That kind of system must operate independently because of the one-way journey of the radio message will take over four years. 


In that case, the rocket would contain about 5-6 grams of antimatter, which is produced at CERN or captured from the solar wind. That extremely reactive and dangerous material would close in the magnetic bottle, and then the other component of the fuel would be stored in the rocket. The annihilation reaction would happen in the combustion chamber, where the antimatter ions would be conducted by using magnetic tracks. 


Even if the gram of antimatter could carry the 1000 kg spacecraft to Alpha Centauri, the real needed load of antimatter would be bigger, because the spacecraft could need to maneuver, and then the retrorockets must decrease the speed by using the same force, what the spacecraft used for acceleration. So the minimum mass of antimatter would be two grams, but there should be some kind of reserve for the unexpected maneuvers, and that kind of rocket must be built far away from Earth. 


Or actually, it could fly to the trajectory of Neptune, and there some other spacecraft would shoot the cathode ray to the leaf-gold plate, where the antimatter would be formed. The problem with antimatter is that the gram of that thing can destroy the entire Earth. 


The rocket could be modified Falcon-9 (2) rocket and the payload, what that kind of system can carry out from the solar system would not be very big, and the size of that probe is not very big. And that kind of extremely expensive mission requires that the large area of that planet would be researched. 


So the thing that the rocket could send to that planet would be a small nuclear-powered drone. That kind of artificial intelligence operating drone, what might look like MQM-105 "Aquila" (3) might have the capacity to map the surface of the planet and also the underwater areas. But the problem is how to complete the fully independent-operating drone, what weight is less than 200 kilograms. So as you see this kind of operation would be only one version of theoretical space missions.

Alien lifeforms, red dwarfs and gas planets

 



Alien lifeforms, red dwarfs and gas planets


In some visions, the primitive lifeforms could exist also in the atmospheres of the gas planets. There is a possibility that in the deep at the atmosphere of those planets would live alga or bacteria, which could hover at the cloud layer above the layer of the liquid surface. The winds would be extremely powerful, but there is a possibility that the single-cell alga or some kind of amoeba or medusa. 


There are many such kinds of hypotheses. In some movies, the gas planets atmosphere would be living some kind of giant birds or something like giant squids, and that kind of thing could eat astronauts. Maybe those things would be too dramatic, but the fact is that the bacteria, what lives in the clouds could make the forms, what looks like tentacles. 


The main thing about the lifeforms is that could they get enough photons from the red dwarf that the photosynthesis can begin? (1) Or could they get the energy from some other sources like volcanic sources at under the sea?


Could there be intelligent lifeforms on the planet of a red dwarf? The answer is that the endemic lifeforms of those planets could have a very slow metabolism, which means that they could be very slow, and maybe they could be very primitive. But nothing closes out the possibility of the endemic intelligent lifeforms of those planets. 


When we are thinking about planets like Proxima B, which is looking like an Earth there is a possibility, that the lifeforms of those planets are living under the surface of the sea. That environment would protect them against the flares of the red dwarf. But could it possible that under the sea of the planet, what orbits the red dwarf would be intelligent lifeforms? 


This hypothetical lifeform could be true, but the fact is that it should be advanced in somewhere else. But if the base would be under the sea, that thing protects it and it's crew against the radiation of the red dwarf when it erupts. The eruption of the red dwarf is a more complicated thing, what we normally think. 


During those violent eruptions the helium ions and electrons would hit to the planet, and if the magnetic field of that planet is not strong enough the planet would be strike by the powerful alpha and beta radiations. That thing would burn all life from drylands. But is the base at the planet of red dwarf realistic? 


The prime question is where that base will get its energy? The red dwarf is so weak, that the solar panels would not give effective electric supply and the radioactive material in the very old planets would be ended. Because the planet is locked that means that the tidal waves are not a suitable energy source. 


When researchers are saying that the planets what are orbiting red dwarfs are at a habitable zone, that thing could mean that the surface temperature of the equator of the planet would rise just above the zero Celsius. In this case, the habitable zone could mean that the water is in liquid form on the planet's surface.

The riots and national security

 


The riots and national security

Riots are not a new thing in the USA, and the problem is that the presidential elections are coming in autumn. This is why Trump might want to provocate the situation, or rather saying use the force against rioters because he wants to show tough and stout touch in this situation, and that makes him believe that this kind of thing, where the riots would be crushed by using force would increase his popularity. 

This is the thing, that makes this situation so complicated. The thing, that Trump wants to show to people is that the USA is also a nationalistic and Christian nation, what wants to remove itself from NATO and another kind of thing. 

And that is the reason, why Trump would be liked also by Vladimir Putin, whose benefit would be that NATO would not exist anymore. And the thing is that this kind of argument is pleasing the right-wing nationalists, who want to pull taxes down, and the thing that would be a great argument for those people is that NATO costs money. This money can be removed from the taxes, and people would get more money in their hands if NATO is gone. 

Riots are thing what is a complicated thing even without presidential elections. They are always illegal actions, but also a very effective way to bring the point in their ideology and arguments. But the thing, what riots are also make is that they justify the use of force. And that thing makes people accept the tough touch of the police and military organizations. This is what organizations like Ku-Klux Klan want. The thing that also white people have the right to protect their property. 

And the thing is that this kind of riots is serving the benefit of the people, who are believing in firearms and power. There are also people on the other side, who never want to fix social problems. The thing is that people should justify both side violence. Organizations like "Antifa" are problematic because their purpose and willingness are good. But the thing is that everybody can play this organization. The argument, what the Ku-Klux Klan uses is the patriotism. And because the KKK is patriotic must the opponent be non-patriotic. 

But what if there are no riots? The police are a very huge employer in the USA. And the order police are not always very liked organization. The normal duties of those people are just give speeding tickets and other penalties. Those organizations are necessary but sometimes getting the penalty is not a very nice thing. But that kind of riots is giving justification to existence to police organizations.
