How does a Global Navigation Satellite know where it is to tell you where you...OSMFstateofthemap

The satellites in Global Navigation Satellite Systems get their position data regularly updated from ground stations. But how do ground stations 'know' where they are, and relative to what? The Airy transit circle at Greenwich once defined the Prime Meridian and the spinning Earth the Equator. We now know the tectonic plate Greenwich sits on is moving and the Earth wobbles... Any defined datum causes difficulties when moving away from the vicinity, say to Mars. Using several different datums raises other problems. When everything is sliding around, how do we define and use a co-ordinate system that works?

THE ADVANCES NEEDED IN COSMOLOGY TO SAVE THE HUMANITY OF EXTINCTIONFernando Alcoforado
Cosmology is the branch of astronomy that studies the structure and evolution of the Universe as a whole, worrying both about its origin and its evolution. This article aims to present the scientific advances that need to be made in cosmology to contribute to the adoption of technological solutions to protect humanity from threats to its extinction coming from outer space. The future of humanity depends on the success achieved in advancing knowledge about the Universe, especially 10 major cosmological issues that need to be clarified so that humanity can, with scientific knowledge, adopt measures to protect itself from threats to its survival and seek locations in or outside the solar system that could be habitable by humans.
HOW TO SAVE HUMANITY WITH THE DEATH OF THE SUN AND THE COLLISION OF THE ANDRÔ...Fernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present possible strategies to save humanity with the death of the Sun and the collision of the Andromeda and Via Lactea galaxies where the solar system is located. It is scientifically known that all life on Earth will disappear when our Sun reaches the end of its existence within 4 billion years by becoming a red giant that will swallow the Earth. Four years ago, NASA scientists revealed that the collision of our galaxy Via Lactea with Andromeda - the closest neighbor - is inevitable and will happen in approximately four billion years.
Information for Satellite, What is a Satellite...YaserKhan21
What is a Satellite?, Types of Satellite, Satellite Architecture and Organization, Application
Advantages of satellite over terrestrial communication, Disadvantage, Brief History of Artificial Satellites, Parts of a Satellite, What Keeps A Satellite from Falling to Earth?, What stops a Satellite from crashing into another Satellite?, Moons Around Other Worlds, About the International Space Station, Satellites in ISRO, Chandrayaan-1, Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3
The term "evolution" usually refers to the biological evolution of living things. But the processes by which planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe form and change over time are also types of "evolution." In all of these cases there is change over time, although the processes involved are quite different.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

10. Hale-Bopp was discovered on July 23, 1995, at a great distance from the Sun, raising hopes that it
will become much brighter as it approaches the Sun and Earth. Although forecasting the
brightness of comets is a difficult art, Hale-Bopp met or exceeded predictions when it passed
perihelion on April 1, 1997. It is thus aptly named "The Great Comet of 1997."

NASA's Cassini spacecraft on December 7, 2000. To illustrate what Jupiter would have looked like
if the cameras had a field-of-view large enough to capture the entire planet, the cylindrical map
was projected onto a globe. The resolution is about 144 kilometers (89 miles) per pixel. Jupiter's
moon Europa is casting the shadow on the planet.
