Description:
European scientists are turning an aircraft into a laboratory that simulates lunar gravity to prepare astronauts and technology for future moon landings as part of the NASA-led Artemis missions. <br/><br/>The moon is a strange little world. Only about 1.2% the mass of Earth, our planet's companion exerts a much weaker gravitational force on objects on its surface than the parent planet. As a result, an astronaut on the moon's surface feels as if he or she only weighs one sixth of their earthly weight. The same goes for all equipment the astronauts would use. It may sound like no big deal but this feeble gravitational pull creates all sorts of unforeseen problems that are difficult to prepare for in research labs on Earth. There is, however, one way to experience lunar gravity while still in the confines of Earth and explore these challenges before going to the moon: in a parabolic flight.<br/><br/>Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: European Space Agency/Novespace/NASA<br/>A Future Studios Production

_the-mountain-so-mean-even-everest-thinks-it39s-crazy.webp "Prepare to dive into the world of extreme mountaineering, and K2 is the name of the game. This bad boy isn't just a mountain – it's a death trap waiting to happen. With its sheer cliffs, unpredictable weather, and icy conditions, K2 is like Everest's edgier cousin. Climbers who dare to take on this beast know they're signing up for one heck of a ride, with the odds stacked against them at every turn. It's like the mountain is daring you to try your luck – and not everyone makes it out alive. So yeah, K2 may not have the fame of Everest, but when it comes to danger, it's in a league of its own.Credit:<br/>Chogori: Zacharie Grossen, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chogori.jpg <br/>Animation is created by Bright Side.<br/><br/>#brightside <br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ <br/><br/>Listen to Bright Side on: <br/>Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV<br/>Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/idhttps-podcasts-apple-com-podcast-bright-side/id1554898078<br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Our Social Media:<br/>Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/brightside/<br/>Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official/<br/>Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en<br/>Snapchat - https://www.snapchat.com/p/c6a1e38a-bff1-4a40-9731-2c8234ccb19f/1866144599336960<br/><br/>Stock materials (photos, footages and other):<br/> https://www.depositphotos.com <br/>https://www.shutterstock.com <br/>https://www.eastnews.ru <br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me")
