Science in Space: February 2025 February was first proclaimed as American Heart Month in 1964. Since then, its 28 (or 29) days have served as an opportunity to encourage people to focus on their cardiovascular health. The International Space Station serves as a platform for a variety of ongoing research on human health, including how […]


Discovery proves decades-old theory of galaxy feeding cycle. Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have finally solved the mystery of how a massive galaxy cluster is forming stars at such a high rate. The confirmation from Webb builds on more than a decade of studies using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, […]

Ick lieb dir Freie Software Tag
Fri 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
FSFE Berlin

Wir unterschätzen oft die Kraft eines einfachen Dankes. All diejenigen, welche sich an Freier Software beteiligen oder sich für diese einsetzen, leisten wertvolle Arbeit für unsere Gesellschaft und verdienen Aufmerksamkeit.

Englisch sprachiges Werbebanner für den I Love Free Software Day. Weiße Schrift auf rotem Grund, zwei Herzen sind abgebildet. Text: Valentin's Tag - Zeig deine Liebe für Freie Software - Link zu https://ilofefs.org

Die Berliner Gruppe der Free Software Foundation Europe trifft sich zum Ick lieb dir Freie Software Tag dieses Jahr im Seminarraum der Bezirkszentralbibliothek Spandau. Neben dem gemeinsamen Danke! sagen gibt es für Interessierte Vorträge zu Freier Software und Notebooks mit Linux zum Anfassen, um Freie Software auszuprobieren. Details zum Programm gibt es auf der Seite der Berliner Gruppe im Wiki der FSFE.

Die Bezirkszentralbibliothek Spandau findet ihr direkt am Bahnhof Spandau in der Carl-Schurz-Str. 13.

Carl-Schurz-Str. 13, Berlin

Im Anschluss wollen wir uns eine Pizzeria in der Nähe suchen: wer sich anschließen will kann sich gerne unverbindlich anmelden damit wir ggf. im Vorfeld eine Reservierung vornehmen können.

On Feb. 11, 2000, space shuttle Endeavour took to the skies on its 14th trip into space on the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The international STS-99 crew included Commander Kevin Kregel, Pilot Dominic Gorie, and Mission Specialists Gerhard Thiele of Germany representing the European Space Agency, Janet Kavandi, Janice Voss, who served as payload […]


NASA’s Polar Resources Ice Mining Experiment-1 (PRIME-1) is preparing to explore the Moon’s subsurface and analyze where lunar resources may reside. The experiment’s two key instruments will demonstrate our ability to extract and analyze lunar soil to better understand the lunar environment and subsurface resources, paving the way for sustainable human exploration under the agency’s […]


NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover captured this feather-shaped iridescent cloud just after sunset on Jan. 27, 2023. Studying the colors in iridescent clouds tells scientists something about particle size within the clouds and how they grow over time. These clouds were captured as part of a seasonal imaging campaign to study noctilucent, or “night-shining” clouds. A […]


The latest edition of NASA’s Spinoff publication, which highlights the successful transfer of agency technology to the commercial sector, is now available online. For nearly 25 years, NASA has supported crew working in low Earth orbit to learn about the space environment and perform research to advance deep space exploration. Astronauts aboard the International Space […]

A bouquet of thousands of stars in bloom has arrived. This composite image contains the deepest X-ray image ever made of the spectacular star forming region called 30 Doradus. By combining X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue and green) with optical data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (yellow) and radio data from the […]


NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team has successfully integrated the mission’s deployable aperture cover — a visor-like sunshade that will help prevent unwanted light from entering the telescope — to the outer barrel assembly, another structure designed to shield the telescope from stray light in addition to keeping it at a stable temperature. “It’s […]


Glenn Employees Earn Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers Two NASA Glenn Research Center employees were among 19 agency researchers recognized as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). Lyndsey McMillon-Brown was recognized for leadership in photovoltaic research, development, and demonstrations. She was the principal investigator for a Science […]


An experiment studying how solid materials catch fire and burn in the Moon’s gravity was launched on Blue Origin’s New Shepard suborbital flight this month. Developed by NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland together with Voyager Technologies, the Lunar-g Combustion Investigation (LUCI) will help researchers determine if conditions on the Moon – with reduced gravity […]


NASA observed its annual Day of Remembrance on Jan. 23, honoring the members of the NASA family who lost their lives in the pursuit of exploration and discovery for the benefit of humanity. The annual event acknowledges the crews of Apollo 1 and the space shuttles Challenger and Columbia. NASA Acting Administrator Janet Petro and […]


La Commissione ritira la direttiva sulla responsabilità dell’IA dopo gli attacchi di Vance

L'articolo proviene da #Euractiv Italia ed è stato ricondiviso sulla comunità Lemmy @Intelligenza Artificiale

Earth planning date: Monday, Feb. 10, 2025 Last Saturday around 20:00 Pacific Standard Time I saw a 22-degree halo encircling our mostly-full Moon and Mars; an entire planet hanging in the sky between our Moon and the atmospheric phenomenon. As I took in the view I wondered what our rover was doing at that moment… […]


Media are invited to visit NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, to capture imagery of the agency’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft and twin SLS (Space Launch System) solid rocket boosters for the first crewed Artemis mission around the Moon. The event is targeted for Friday, March 7. Subject matter experts from NASA and industry partners […]
