![]() ![]() What started as an engineering camera, with a single purpose of monitoring the deployment of the Beagle 2 lander, has become a science instrument that’s given us views of Mars that would otherwise be impossible, and now even live. With the VMC we have studied these high-altitude clouds in detail during twilight and revealed that they are common during this season in this part of the planet.” “At the right side of the images, a different cloud is present close to the polar cap. Orographic clouds are also common during this season, and form as the atmosphere flows up mountains and volcanic slopes.” ![]() ![]() “The South Polar cap is apparent in these images, close to the polar night, while the Arsia Mons volcano is present on the left side of the planet. "Mars is now approaching the southern winter season," explains Jorge Hernández Bernal, part of the VMC team. However, there are many fascinating martian features that reveal themselves. Usually, image processing removes such noise and stains but it’s not always possible. This is not actually on the planet but a ‘stain’ in part of the sensor that increases the amount of light that reaches pixels in this area. Just before the connection is lost and there’s a break in images, a small white feature flashes up on Mars’ edge. Note the gap in the middle – unfortunately*, rain at ESA's ground station in Cebreros, Spain, meant we lost 'telemetry' (data) from Mars Express for a period during the live. This gif is made up of all the images that came down during that hour, roughly 50 seconds apart from each other, beamed directly from the Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) on board ESA’s long-lived but-still-highly-productive martian orbiter. For an hour, it became possible to see the Red Planet in as close to real-time as the speed of light would allow. ![]() To celebrate the 20th birthday of ESA’s Mars Express on 2 June, and after months of work from engineers and scientists to make it possible, ESA aired the first-ever Mars livestream. ![]()

![]() The software, which can be used either in virtual reality with an Oculus headset, or in desktop mode with a mouse and keyboard, lets users build up 3D forms via a mix of clay-like sculpting and Boolean operations. Adobe has added flexible alignment controls, which make designing titles easier and faster. Adobe has released Substance 3D Modeler, its much-anticipated new VR sculpting app, as a free beta. With the Fall 2022 release, this is no exception. Over time, Adobe has steadily improved the Premiere Pro Titling tool to make it more capable. But that isn’t all, as Character Animator gets a few new tools, plus there’s a new app in Creative Cloud that will enable artists to create objects in 3D easily. ![]() That’s because, in addition to adding Frame.io Camera to Cloud (C2C) support for RED and Fujifilm cameras to Creative Cloud, Adobe is offering an expansion to Premiere’s titling capability, plus improvements to visual performance.Īfter Effects, by contrast, gets a few new features, including selectable track mattes, 50 new animation presets, faster template performance when transferring titles, and motion graphics to Premiere. If one could use a word to describe the 2022 fall update for Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, the term "refinement" may be the most appropriate. ![]() ![]() ![]() The controls are simple, as all you have to do is point your cursor in the direction you want the beam to go and mash the attack button when you get near a target. The concept behind the game is that you get hit with a deadly beam that launches straight up from your mouth to the ground, damaging anything in your path. You play as one of the classic Super Smash Bros characters (that includes Mario, Sonic, Donkey and Yoshi) and must defeat your opposition before they kill you. Super Smash Flash 2 is an excellent online flash arcade game and was developed by Hoo!, a company that makes Flash games. ![]() ![]() ![]() Personal data, profiles and system settings will then no longer be available after reinstallation.

![]() ![]() ![]() In 1933, Heuer introduced the "Autavia", a dashboard timer used for automobiles and aviation (whence its name, from "AUTos" and "AVIAtion"). This model was soon followed by the "Semikrograph", a stopwatch that offered 1/50 of a second timing, as well as a split-second function (which allows the user to determine the interval between two contestants or events). In 1916 Edward Heuer's son, Charles-Auguste, introduced the "Mikrograph", the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second. The crown was at the 12 o'clock position, as these first wrist chronographs were adapted from pocket chronographs. Heuer introduced its first wrist chronograph in 1914. A top-mounted crown allows the user to set the time a button mounted in that crown operates the start/stop/reset functions of the "duration of trip" counter. ![]() A small pair of hands mounted at the top of the dial (12 o'clock position) indicates the duration of the trip (up to 12 hours). Designed for use in automobiles and aircraft, two large hands mounted from the center pinion indicate the time of day, as on a traditional clock. In 1911, Heuer received a patent for the "Time of Trip", the first dashboard chronograph. Įdouard Heuer patented his first chronograph in 1882 and in 1887 patented an "oscillating pinion" still used by major watchmakers of mechanical chronographs.

We have to be mindful that this theatre is a business and like all businesses holds the right to change their policies based on what they feel is best for their guests and employees.ģjoy g. Pretty much every person I saw was abiding by the policy. I know some folks are complaining about the mask wearing but in all honesty it didn't bother me much at all. We are already looking forward to returning for Hamilton and Beetlejuice!Įdit: masks are currently required (also vaccine cards but no one seemed to check them). There was never a moment when their mics dropped, things got muddled or too loud. We were all the way up in the last row of the center balcony and had no issues hearing the actors. I feel there should be a mention of the audio people running the sound. Otherwise it is a great place to see any touring show. The one downside is the seats are small and kind of cramped. The show was pretty full for a matinee and yet every person on staff was patient and friendly. The opera house itself is grand and ornate, truly a gem of the Boston theatre district. ![]() 3 months ago Saw a touring production of Wicked at this theatre today. ![]() ![]() Prominent local archaeologist James Reid Moir attempts to join the dig but is rebuffed Edith instead hires her cousin Rory Lomax to join the project.
