[katakosmos]

sweet sweet irene i saw your distressed call for entertainment and i come to your rescue, can you please share your thoughts on mary ? who is she with, what does she like, how does she grow, WHO IS SHE 😍

marymarymary she's my favorite lesbian

dear @remusbuzzcutt has some mary headcanons that are just GNAM (yum 😓) and i completely agree with their plastic-dumb-but-smart-Gretchen mary.

she's popular, her favorite color is pink, she wears miniskirts (against the dresscode) and very high heels. she has that y2k aesthetic. if hogwarts had cheerleaders, she would be a part of them. se has a gap teeth, she laughs loudly and speaks the most forced slang in the world. guys like her because they think she's dumb, she flirts with them and when she kisses them she dreams of the lips of the girl who, the day before, helped her fix her lipstick in the bathroom.

she is a muggle-born witch, and she was raised in a sweet but strict christian family. so she almost has a double life, because at home she dresses and behaves in a totally different way than at school. she's the friend you can tell everything to, she knows exactly how to make you feel better. sometimes lily and marlene scold her, they tell her that she's acting silly and that she shouldn't let boys make fun of her or treat her like an object, but they don't understand that she's actually having fun and that she's happy.

i talked about her and jasmine here... and i'm so obsessed with them cause. the age gap. the admiration that becomes love. ughhh i need them. no one knows mary's a lesbian except jasmine.

they sunbathe by the pool and then go up to their room leaving wet footprints all over the house and they have sex on a comfortable canopy double bed mhmmmmmmmmm

Lip oils recommendations🍒✨

@gufu-vire I’ve always wanted to this, thanks for the opportunity 😌

From the most expensive to the cheapest…

I. Clarins Lip Comfort Oil - 30$

I’ve tried those two shades (Cherry and Pitaya) for months now and those are simply amazing. 1. The color is so pretty and it absolutely doesn’t get into the lines of your lips. 2. Very hydrating, I have crusty dry lips and I can use this on a daily basis without having my lips dry at the end of the day. Also the container doesn’t leak! Lovely soft candy smell too! My only complain is the price…worth it yes, but so expensive. Wide range of shades. 9.5/10

II. Gisou Honey Infused Hydrating Lip Oil - 28$

I would eat those for breakfast. They are so shiny, so tasty and the colors are beautiful. I’ve only tried those two shades, Mango Passion Punch and Watermelon sugar, and oh my if they have a good taste and smell, never had a lip oil smell THIS good. Also, this is so hydrating, really. Your lips are going to be SO SMOOTH (so comfortable), it works just like the most hydrating lip balm you could possibly find. I am so glad they did this tinted version, because I couldn’t bare the smell of the original one (it smells like fried food and even if that hydrating, I couldn’t use it😭). The best lip oil I’ve ever had (I only had those for a week, but I’ve been using them constantly, but in case something goes wrong in the future, I’ll do an update here). Also very expensive, but shut up and take my money for this. And again, SO SHINY OMG. 10/10

III. CLINIQUE Almost Lipstick - 25$

This is not actually a lip oil, like, not totally, because it is still emollient like an oil and also I wanted to talk about it since it was everywhere last year. The color got me obsessed with berry lip tints, it changed my idea of “ideal color” forever. Still, I expected so much better. I have dry lips, as I mentioned before, and this isn’t hydrating enough and for a product of THAT price it isn’t really acceptable. My lips always crack after not even thirty minutes, the trick is to put underneath a basic transparent lip balm and voilà, but you know…in italy I payed even more than in the us for this product and I was disappointed (30€ which is way more that 25$). The black honey from clique was a cultural reset and I shall try one day the liquid form, hopefully that will be more hydrating. Still, the color on the lips is so beautiful yet natural. Not sentenced. 7/10

IV. Pacifica GLOW STICK Lip Oil - 11$

This is what the Clinique one should’ve been. I originally bought this because I was searching for a dupe of the black honey and, oh my, if I striked right (I bought this one before the og). The effect on the lips is the SAME, you can’t tell them apart, the shade is Crimson Crush. Also, this one really does the job, it is hydrating, not as much as other presented here before, but it works well and the price is good! Not sentenced. There are also other very cute shades. Also I think that a stick lip oil is genius. 9/10

V. NYX FAT OIL LIP DRIP - 9$

This one almost feels like a lip gloss from how glossy it is. Also the shades can be either sheer, a slight tint, or also almost a full color. I have the shades Status Update and That’s Chic and I used them a lot this summer. The color doesn’t last too long, but it a lip oil what do you expect, it’s transferable. Not sentenced. Can get in the lines of your lips. Very pretty overall, very good price and also great shade range (I want to try some more of those uhh). Container doesn’t leak! A very solid 8/10

VI. Essence hydra kiss LIP OIL - like 3-4$

Lovely lip oil, the formula is very comfortable and soooooo hydrating. An awkesome every day lippie and colors are very nice. I have no complains except one: the container leaks. I can’t bring it anymore with me because it has become all sticky on the outside, thankfully we had a long run before this, I’m almost out of it anyway (I ate it gnam😀) . Not sentenced. Otherwise, sooo good! 7.99/10 for the container not the product

VII. Essence Cranberry tinted lip oil - also 3-4$

This lip oil is THAT GIRL. Amazing, so surprised the first time I tried and now look at us, at the second empty bottle, hoping to find another one somewhere, since it is hard to find it in store. So hydrating and you get the cutest tint!! Essence never does one wrong when it comes to shiny lips and I love them for that. The container doesn’t leak!! Not sentenced. 10/10!

Thanks for coming to my ted talk hihi🫶

This morning I felt myself particularly gnam gnam that I thought I'd take some selfies but the more photos I took, the more I started to look like a Gollum

My self-esteem has died.

Rembrandt: Do you really not believe in ghoosts?~

Courbet: I-I don't believe in them! Stop asking me that over and over again!

Courbet: Rembrandt, which of these two paintings do you think is better?

Rembrandt: Both! I wanna get inside that painting. And I wanna hear what this one has to say.

Da Vinci: Sigh, alright. It was a time when heaven and earth were still–

Rembrandt: I'd love to hear your story about being a child prodigy, it's not often I get to hear one!

Da Vinci: I do not think it is anything interesting to hear… Are you sure about it?

Rembrandt: I'm sure, I'm sureee. What is an ordinary story to you could be special to me.

Da Vinci: I see. Then I will think about what I am going to say.

Rembrandt: Da Vinci-kun, are you eating chocolate in the morning?

Rembrandt: What kind of stories do you tell to pick up girls, Renoir-kuuun?~

Renoir: Are you curious about it? Then you should practice pick-up too, Rembrandt.

Rembrandt: Hey hey, let me ask youuu~ How did the four of you become friends?

Renoir: You seee~ My friends from a previous life have been reincarnated and we've met.

Rembrandt: I see! I'd like to hear more about it. Do you have any memories of your past life!?

Renoir: Hmmm. I suddenly remembered it… but I don't know much about it.

Rembrandt: Good morning, Renoir-kuun~ Oh, is that necklace new?

Renoir: Yes, they said it's the current trend. The lady I met yesterday told me about it.

Rembrandt: Today is the day I want to hear your story.

Michelangelo: … I don't have anythin’ to tell you.

Rembrandt: I see. Then, I'll wait here until you come up with something to say.

Michelangelo: … Uh? It's not that I can't think of anythin’, it's that I don't wanna talk ‘bout it…

Hokusai: I wanna see more of your paintings.

Rembrandt: Hahaha, mine are no big deal. I'd rather listen to your stories, Hokusai-san.

Rembrandt: The sea you paint is wonderful, Hokusai-san. But there’s one problem.

Hokusai: A problem? Now that ya said it, lemme hear it for reference.

Rembrandt: I… I can't swim. I can't go inside this painting and play in the ocean…

Hokusai: Oh, don't worry. 'Cuz ya can't enter the world of this paintin’ to begin with.

Rembrandt: I wish I could visit the southern paradise you describe, Gauguin-kun.

Gauguin: I've never been there to begin with, though…

Gauguin: Aaah... I see it. I see Mother Nature right in front of me...

Rembrandt: What's wrong, Gauguin-kun? What you're saying sounds pretty interesting.

Gauguin: The sound of the waves, women playing, it would be great to live in such a place…

Rembrandt: I wonder if he has gone to his imaginary world. I'll have to hear about it later.

Rembrandt: Look loooook, I bought a new accessory!

Sisley: … U-Uhm. I hope your wallet is okay…

Rembrandt: Why don't you tell me all about the Impressionists today?

Sisley: Monet is always cheerful and Renoir is a lazy but funny guy.

Rembrandt: Mmh-mmh, and then…?

Sisley: Bazille is a firm and organized guy. … We're well-balanced.

Rembrandt: Which one gives you a more enjoyable story, when you're working part-time or when you're painting?

Sisley: A story...? I never thought of it that way, but from now on it will definitely be painting.

Rembrandt: I see, that's right. I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.

Sisley: Yes, I'd love to hear more about you too, Rembrandt-san.

Rembrandt: Where is that letter going? I'm curious, Bazille-kun.

Rembrandt: What's the matter Bazille-kun, you don't look well, do you?

Bazille: You'd be better off worrying about yourself than worrying about me, wouldn't you? Your head is bleeding again. Come on, I'll patch you up.

Rembrandt: Bazille-kun, you're always reading those difficult-looking medical books, are they interesting?

Bazille: Well... They’re interesting to me. And they’re a good reference for painting.

Rembrandt: Reference for painting...? What do you mean?

Bazille: In the human eye, there are somatic cells and cone cells... Don't look so surprised.

Bazille: Courbet is taking care of you for some reason, are you old friends?

Rembrandt: No, I met him heeere.

Bazille: Huuh, he takes care of you frequently for that matter.

Rembrandt: Courbet-kun is very kind, you know. I know I shouldn't rely on him too much.

Kuroda: You should paint more instead of that, what are you here for?

Rembrandt: Where should I wear it... This place is already full.

Kuroda: Did you buy another one again, like you've never learned your lesson? Sounds like you want to make yourself an accessory stand.

Rembrandt: Surely, if I wear all of them, I'll be buried… Hmmm, oh well!

Kuroda: You can spend your money however you want, but I think you need to fix the way you wear your jewelry.

Rembrandt: I've been thinking about it for a while, but you and I look so much alike!

Rembrandt: Delacroix-kun, you're pretty strict about manners, aren't you? I wish you would tell me moooore~

Rembrandt: Hey hey, Delacroix-kun. Can you let me interview you about what rock is all about?

Watteau: Hiii~ You're just in time! Let's go have a drink together now!

Rembrandt: Alright! … Ah, but wait a minute… Sorry, I can't.

Watteau: What's wrong? I'm gettin' the vibes… that ya don't wanna be with me.

Rembrandt: The thing is… I don't have any money. I spent too much the other day.

Velazquez: Rembrandt, you've been spending too much lately. Your room is covered with accessories.

Rembrandt: Sorryyyy~ I'll clean uuup~

Velazquez: … Rembrandt. Why do you want to hear all these stories?

Rembrandt: Hmmm, let's see. ... If I have to say it, it's because it's fun.

Velazquez: Is that it? You seem like a thoughtful and complex person.

Rembrandt: Hahaha. Only you would say that, Velazquez-kun.

Rembrandt: Haha, I fell down again. My feet are soaking weeet~

Van Dyck: You don't wear accessories in a beautiful way. It's too cluttered.

Rembrandt: But you know, each one of these has a story behind it.

Van Dyck: Even so... The beauty of each one of them is reflected…

Rembrandt: Uuuh, that's true, too. But I want to wear all of them…!

Questo Tweet non ha assolutamente nulla di sbagliato e ha fatto molto male Salvini a toglierlo. È un manifesto estremamente sincero della destra di Salvini, in cui fluttuano assieme alluvioni, risultati calcistici, “buona domenica e voi cosa mangiate a pranzo amici?”, “vi sembra normale che un immigrato faccia questo, a me no”, “i nostri amici a quattro zampe”, “follia dell’Europa, vogliono dire che l’alcol contenuto nel nostro vino fa male, pazzesco amici”, terremoti, “i nostri angeli in divisa”, catastrofi, “preghiamo per loro”, “che buone le castagne”, “io sono per la pace in Ucraina, “roba da matti amici”, la pizza margherita come fanno a Napoli gnam”, “mi è scoppiata una gomma e la sinistra muta”, “dove andremo a finire, eh, signora mia?”. Tutto fluttua assieme nella più totale assenza di gravità. È l’alt right pop, felpa edition, mentre Fratelli d’Italia ne esprime la versione seria, carica di preoccupazione, storia, e anche livoroso rancore. Salvini non sembra invece preoccupato di nulla, sradicato anche dal nord di cui la sua lega fu interprete, fluttua Salvini nella pigrizia di una interminabile domenica pomeriggio. Magari Salvini fosse un fascista, si saprebbe almeno come definirlo, e invece niente, non mi viene in mente nulla. Il nulla.

"Mi piaci" mi dice lui, così, come informazione. Una comunicazione di servizio di un sabato sera qualunque. Avrei potuto dirgli "tu no" oppure "perché?", ma questo una volta l'ho chiesto e il non ricevere risposta mi ha disturbata tanto. "Tutto normale?" "Certo."

Lo odio.

Lo odio perché non gli interesso minimamente, gli piace ciò che crede di conoscere, ma non parliamo mai davvero.

"Siamo amici, forse. Vabbé dai, non scoraggiarti, comportati come sempre" mi dico io.

Poi però lo odio, perché oggi ho fatto gli gnocchi di mia nonna, non li facevo da 7 anni, l'ultima volta li ho preparati con lei, gliel'ho detto: "io mi sono fatto due bei panini" gnam, ho risposto io.

Ora so che lo rimuoverò lentamente dalla testa "cerco solo amicizie reali, non ho interesse nelle relazioni." Gli ho risposto io

Cara Mimmy, BUON ANNO NUOVO! Che questo anno ci porti pace, felicità, amore, e consenta alle famiglie e agli amici di ritrovarsi. Ora ti voglio raccontare come abbiamo salutato l'anno vecchio e accolto quello nuovo. Innanzitutto noi (la mamma, il papà e io) siamo andati da Melica per il suo compleanno. Abbiamo pranzato da lei. Come regalo per il Nuovo Anno, Melica ci ha dato un vasetto di carote in conserva. Poi siamo tornati a casa. La mamma è andata a prendere l'acqua, mentre io e il papà non ci siamo mossi. Quando la mamma è tornata siamo rimasti seduti insieme per un po', abbiamo preparato i panini con la margarina (in ufficio la mamma ha ricevuto per l'inverno un pacchetto di provviste, che conteneva fra l'altro della margarina), la crema fresca e del patè di fegato. Dei panini fantastici! Gnam... Gnam..! Verso le otto abbiamo fatto un pisolino. Poi é arrivata la zia Boda che ci ha rimessi tutti sull'attenti: siamo quindi andati tutti a casa sua, dove abbiamo mangiato del «tacchino» (una scatoletta di carne), e del vero emmenthal. Verso le dieci avevamo nuovamente sonno, e a qualcuno è venuto in mente di accendere la radio, dove c'erano i Surrealisti, un gruppo teatrale della città. Ci siamo svegliati tutti. E così, a poco a poco, è arrivato anche L'ANNO NUOVO. Žika ha aperto una bottiglia di champagne (che aveva tenuto in serbo per celebrare la fine della guerra, ma visto che essa non si vede, ha deciso di aprirla oggi), e ci siamo baciati tutti (la nonna, Žika, Boda, la mamma, il papà, Cici e io). Mancava Nedo, che era andato a festeggiare con gli amici. Mamma e papà mi hanno donato un pettine e una pinza per i capelli, i Bobar mi hanno regalato un uovo musicale (ha un sensore luminoso) e dello Slaim. Hanno regalato alla mamma dell'acetone, mentre noi abbiamo dato loro patate, cipolle, e cavoli bianchi. Wow! E così abbiamo trascorso la serata fino all'1,30 di mattina. Quando siamo tornati a casa eravamo stanchi morti. Non siamo andati a letto prima delle 2,00. Abbiamo dormito come dei ghiri. Ancora una volta, Mimmy, Buon Anno a te e a tutta la gente di Sarajevo. Ti voglio bene, Zlata “

[CM] - Bugs 1

Here's a bug post! I'm not sure how deep I'll go into ClayClan bugs... I do know I'd want to create a unique taxonomy system (like base Clanmew has), and that intimidates me into leaving it for later haha. Not to mention the undertaking it would be to find and name all those species. So, for now, take some notable ones!

Small flying insect found on meat - Pfsee Pfsee is used primarily for flies, and refers specifically to small insects that produce maggots on meat. These pose a seasonal threat to the prey-pile... I'm yet to find a solution that the cats could use to prevent infestations, though. Please let me know if you have any ideas!

Small flying insect not found on meat - Ssis Ssis is the word used for little flying bugs that don't lay eggs on meat. It's used most often for midges, gnats, and other tiny buzzing things that have a habit of annoying every cat they come across.

Blood-sucking insect - Nagnak A nagnak is any insect that bites or sucks blood from cats. This is a general term - there's more specific ones for some of the most common nuisances, including mosquitos, flies, and ticks. If a cat receives an insect bite with no known source, they're blaming a nagnak. Mosquito - Eek (homophone with base Clanmew eek*) Biting fly - Gnasee (gnam* + pfsee) Tick - Byyufwo (byyo* + ssuffss* + owo*)

Maggot - Slaw Slaw are what pfsee create! At least, that's how Clan cats see it. Slaw infest meat and turn it inedible - cats generally detest them for this. Unlike the Clans in Better Bones, ClayClan is not medically advanced enough to practice debridement, so slaw have no medical function.

Cicada - Eekr'kf Big annual insects that crawl aboveground every summer, molt, and scream. They're named for the sound they make when pounced on - the song halts and they start buzzing! The empty brown shell they leave behind is called a bakr'kf (babaak* + eekr'kf).

Happy 2023 my sweet lil red velvet cupcakes!!

I hope this is gonna be a wonderful start for each one of us, full of adventures and surprises 🩷

Here's how i think La Squadra would help me with my 2023 resolutions, cause boy do i need help reaching my goals ( i unluckily have the attention span of a chicken nugget)

Risotto ✂️: The Capo would help me be more organised and learn how to deal with situations without letting my emotional side get the best of me. I imagine the both of us sitting on my bed: my lilac agenda open, glitter markers, heart shaped notepads and my dog napping on her fave blanket next to us. He would tell me something like " Carusina mia(my little girl ) listen, now it's time for you to focus and find your place in this world ok? Don't EVER let anybody define your worth, cause it's your own doin that define how others percieve you. Always analyze the situation, and never let them get into your head. You can do this ok?"

Formaggio 🧀: He would help me eat more healthy and try new recipes, i always headcanoned him as a good cook so having dear ol Maggio as my " chef assistant " would totally be a dream. The both of us are in the kitchen with my new cooking book, aprons on, reading and commenting the recipies that we see. Formaggio would then stop and point at one page, smirking in his usual way and say " AHA GOT IT!! We totally have to cook this one, look at the ingredients!! It's perfect: it has veggies, carbs, the right amount of protein and is spicy just how you like it! Trust me Dolcezza ( sweetheart) once you start to eat properly AND stop skipping meals * he pinches my cheeks with affection * you'll feel so much better! That doesn't mean you have to stop baking of course, i still want to come here for " Torta Tuesday " ahah"

Illuso 🔎: Now Illuso would help in his own a**hole way, being the primadonna he usually is. He would passive aggressively help me stick to a self care routine daily: coming out of mirrors telling me to dress properly, to do face masks twice a week and of course...he would nag me into taking care of my hair ( i have big and long curls, they are a nightmare to take care of). He would sit me in front of my mirror, take out all his hair care supplies and start combing the mess i have on my head with an annoyed look " Tsk, and you call this hair? I've seen mops and brooms prettier than this bird nest you got. I mean, look at these curls!! They are so dehaydrated and tangled!! Listen, and no one has to know, tomorrow me and you are going to check your wardrobe, do something for these pimples and eyebags you have and i'll teach you some makeup tips Va bin (got it) ? Let's see if we can transform this ugly duckling in just a duckling...What? We gotta start somewhere missy!!"

Melone 🍈: Melly kelly, my beloved tuscan companion, he would help me study and write my thesis. He would come up with the right method to keep my focus, write notes, get me cups of ginseng ( he remembers that i hate coffee bless him) But most importantly he would help me keeping contact with my friends and family " Cittina miaaaa~ (it translate to girl, but in this case is more like bestie) did you remember to call your granparents today?? You know they worry if they don't hear from you at least once a week! Now, we study a couple more pages and then you plan that videocall with your german friends ok? GNAM GNAMO NINI, S'HA DA LAVORARE NOI!" ( let's go let's go, we have work to do) then he would playfully smack my butt in the process lmao

Ghiaccio 🧊: One word: fitness. Ghiaccio would help me get in shape and live a more healthy lifestyle in general. He would yell at me whenever he sees me lay on the couch doin nothing, wake me up early to go for a run, get me protein shakes to help me build muscles... i can see him drag me to the local gym, throw me a towel, a bottle of water and start " encouraging " me while i do push ups " C'MON TOSA (another way to say girl)!! ONE MORE CAZZO, ONE MORE!! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?! I THINK THE F*CK NOT!! C'MON I WANT 20 MORE OF THESE, WE ARE NOT FINISHED TILL I SEE YOUR ARMS GIVE UP! SPINGI DIOC*ANE SPINGIIIIIIII!!! " He would then proceed to roughly massage my shoulders and give me hard pats on the back, it's his way to say that he's proud and i appreciate it ahah.

Pesci 🐟: Pesci would help me cultivate my hobbies and take breaks in a more productive way. I can see the both of us going for walks to feed the swans and duck at the park in my hometown, crocheting a keychain for my best friend, watch a new documentary together and...just talk tbh. Pesci would get us a cup of tea, blankets and then put my favourite show on tv " Zia ( sis ) this tea is amazing, you should totally try it! Also the new episode of " victorian lifestyle " just dropped, wanna watch it together? If you want we can call the others too and have a slumber party! Wait a sec * clears his throat* UAGLIÒ' VENN ACCÀ!! CI GUARDIAM U DOCUMENTARIO TUTT 'NSIEME AH!" ( guys get down here, we are gonna watch a documentary together)

Prosciutto 🍖: Ok here i'm simping VERY HARD (and imagining also my Vento aureo OC in this post cause yes. She deserves to be spoiled just like me ahah) Prosciutto would totally help me with my goal of learning something new every week. I think he's one of the most cultured in La Squadra so he would take me to museums, visit new towns, art galleries, maybe also go to a wine tasting events and concerts...but he also demands that I show up all dolled up just for him, so he can make me blush everytime and enjoy the effect he has on me...i think his favourite activity to do together is to go to Firenze at Uffizi Museum and just look at the paintings, his arm around my waist while we comment on the masterpieces hang on the walls " don't you think Botticelli was a genious? His idea of the beauty in general really matches my taste you know..He painted of beautiful, soft women and you know how much i like curves..* smirks * What's the matter? Did i really make you blush bambina mia~ (my baby girl) C'mon let's move to the next room, i think we are close to Caravaggio's.."

NASA Optical Navigation Tech Could Streamline Planetary Exploration - NASA

New Post has been published on https://sunalei.org/news/nasa-optical-navigation-tech-could-streamline-planetary-exploration-nasa/

NASA Optical Navigation Tech Could Streamline Planetary Exploration - NASA

As astronauts and rovers explore uncharted worlds, finding new ways of navigating these bodies is essential in the absence of traditional navigation systems like GPS.

Optical navigation relying on data from cameras and other sensors can help spacecraft — and in some cases, astronauts themselves — find their way in areas that would be difficult to navigate with the naked eye.

Three NASA researchers are pushing optical navigation tech further, by making cutting edge advancements in 3D environment modeling, navigation using photography, and deep learning image analysis.

In a dim, barren landscape like the surface of the Moon, it can be easy to get lost. With few discernable landmarks to navigate with the naked eye, astronauts and rovers must rely on other means to plot a course.

As NASA pursues its Moon to Mars missions, encompassing exploration of the lunar surface and the first steps on the Red Planet, finding novel and efficient ways of navigating these new terrains will be essential. That’s where optical navigation comes in — a technology that helps map out new areas using sensor data.

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is a leading developer of optical navigation technology. For example, GIANT (the Goddard Image Analysis and Navigation Tool) helped guide the OSIRIS-REx mission to a safe sample collection at asteroid Bennu by generating 3D maps of the surface and calculating precise distances to targets.

Now, three research teams at Goddard are pushing optical navigation technology even further.

Chris Gnam, an intern at NASA Goddard, leads development on a modeling engine called Vira that already renders large, 3D environments about 100 times faster than GIANT. These digital environments can be used to evaluate potential landing areas, simulate solar radiation, and more.

While consumer-grade graphics engines, like those used for video game development, quickly render large environments, most cannot provide the detail necessary for scientific analysis. For scientists planning a planetary landing, every detail is critical.

“Vira combines the speed and efficiency of consumer graphics modelers with the scientific accuracy of GIANT,” Gnam said. “This tool will allow scientists to quickly model complex environments like planetary surfaces.”

The Vira modeling engine is being used to assist with the development of LuNaMaps (Lunar Navigation Maps). This project seeks to improve the quality of maps of the lunar South Pole region which are a key exploration target of NASA’s Artemis missions.

Vira also uses ray tracing to model how light will behave in a simulated environment. While ray tracing is often used in video game development, Vira utilizes it to model solar radiation pressure, which refers to changes in momentum to a spacecraft caused by sunlight.

Another team at Goddard is developing a tool to enable navigation based on images of the horizon. Andrew Liounis, an optical navigation product design lead, leads the team, working alongside NASA Interns Andrew Tennenbaum and Will Driessen, as well as Alvin Yew, the gas processing lead for NASA’s DAVINCI mission.

An astronaut or rover using this algorithm could take one picture of the horizon, which the program would compare to a map of the explored area. The algorithm would then output the estimated location of where the photo was taken.

Using one photo, the algorithm can output with accuracy around hundreds of feet. Current work is attempting to prove that using two or more pictures, the algorithm can pinpoint the location with accuracy around tens of feet.

“We take the data points from the image and compare them to the data points on a map of the area,” Liounis explained. “It’s almost like how GPS uses triangulation, but instead  of having multiple observers to triangulate one object, you have multiple observations from a single observer, so we’re figuring out where the lines of sight intersect.”

This type of technology could be useful for lunar exploration, where it is difficult to rely on GPS signals for location determination.

To automate optical navigation and visual perception processes, Goddard intern Timothy Chase is developing a programming tool called GAVIN (Goddard AI Verification and Integration) Tool Suit.

This tool helps build deep learning models, a type of machine learning algorithm that is trained to process inputs like a human brain. In addition to developing the tool itself, Chase and his team are building a deep learning algorithm using GAVIN that will identify craters in poorly lit areas, such as the Moon.

“As we’re developing GAVIN, we want to test it out,” Chase explained. “This model that will identify craters in low-light bodies will not only help us learn how to improve GAVIN, but it will also prove useful for missions like Artemis, which will see astronauts exploring the Moon’s south pole region — a dark area with large craters — for the first time.”

As NASA continues to explore previously uncharted areas of our solar system, technologies like these could help make planetary exploration at least a little bit simpler. Whether by developing detailed 3D maps of new worlds, navigating with photos, or building deep learning algorithms, the work of these teams could bring the ease of Earth navigation to new worlds.

Una mostra su Achille Funi a Ferrara

Virgilio Socrate Achille Funi (Ferrara, 1890 - Appiano Gentile, 1972) visse da protagonista i principali movimenti che hanno caratterizzato la cultura italiana della prima metà del Novecento e, dopo essersi distinto nel Futurismo, divenne uno tra i grandi interpreti del Realismo magico, del moderno classicismo di Novecento e del muralismo degli anni Trenta, pur mantenendo sempre una spiccata autonomia. Innamorato dei miti classici, Funi assimilò dai maestri dell'Officina ferrarese uno sguardo legato alla tradizione figurativa antica come al linguaggio più attuale di Cézanne, Picasso, Derain, de Chirico. Ora Ferrara, fino al 25 febbraio 2024,  gli rende omaggio con una vasta rassegna antologica al Palazzo dei Diamanti, organizzata dalla Fondazione Ferrara Arte e dal Servizio Musei d'Arte del Comune di Ferrara. La mostra, a cura di Nicoletta Colombo, Serena Redaelli e Chiara Vorrasi, ripercorre la vita del pittore attraverso più di centotrenta opere, provenienti da prestigiose collezioni pubbliche e private, italiane e straniere, tra cui figurano i suoi capolavori, come dipinti a olio e a tempera, acquerelli e disegni a carboncino e a sanguigna, nonché cartoni preparatori per i grandi affreschi e mosaici, che offrono al pubblico l'occasione di scoprire lo straordinario talento di uno dei più grandi maestri del Novecento. L'esposizione prende avvio dalle prime prove del giovane Funi, per poi lasciare spazio ai capolavori futuristi, come Uomo che scende dal tram e Il motociclista del 1914, che suscitarono l'ammirazione dell'amico Umberto Boccioni poi, dopo le testimonianze della prima guerra mondiale, il percorso mette in luce il cruciale apporto dell'artista alla stagione del Ritorno all'ordine e alla restaurazione delle forme classiche. La fase del dopoguerra è rappresentata da opere nel segno di Cézanne, della pittura metafisica e di  Leonardo, come Genealogia (La mia famiglia) del Mart di Rovereto o Il bel cadavere (Le villeggianti) del Museo del Novecento di Milano, cui seguono i capolavori del Realismo magico, la cui atmosfera di stupore attinge alla cultura figurativa quattro-cinquecentesca e, oltre a Maternità e La terra, c’è anche L'acqua, presentata in questa occasione per la prima volta dopo oltre un secolo. Sono inoltre esposte alcuni lavori di Novecento, il movimento coordinato da Margherita Sarfatti, che raduna i più autorevoli esponenti di un moderno e maestoso classicismo, come il leonardesco Autoritratto da giovane del Museo d'arte della Svizzera Italiana di Lugano, la picassiana Saffo, la raffaellesca Lettura domenicale della GNAM di Roma o l'androgina Venere del Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts di Losanna. Negli anni Trenta e Quaranta Funi cercò i segreti dei maestri antichi rileggendo i generi della storia dell'arte in una chiave moderna, dal ritratto alla pittura storico-mitologica, testimoniata da Publio Orazio uccide la sorella della Nationalgalerie di Berlino, dalla natura morta al paesaggio di Il Foro romano delle GAMC di Ferrara. L'esposizione si conclude con la stagione della pittura murale dove, assieme a Sironi, Funi diede un nuovo slancio alla tradizione italiana dell'affresco e del mosaico, impegnandosi nelle campagne decorative con i miti della nazione sulle pareti di edifici monumentali. La rassegna offre l'occasione per riscoprire Il Mito di Ferrara, impresa decorativa che Funi ha realizzato per la Sala dell'Arengo del Palazzo Municipale della città estense, che rappresenta la summa dei grandi progetti murali che il pittore ferrarese ha affrescato negli anni Trenta e Quaranta a Milano, Trieste, Roma e Tripoli, di cui si può ammirare nell’esposizione una selezione di cartoni preparatori.

Orrori gastronomici di gioventù: quando la carne non era semplicemente carne

GNAM! Quant’era buona la “buona carne”. Ognuno ha il suo veleno… #boomerissimo #cucinare #cucinaremale #cuoco #chef

Per noi non era solo carne, era “la buona carne”. Un alimento trash ma pratico da fricchettoni in campeggio. L’ energia di una stagione di sex (mah), drugs, rock n’ roll e Pressatella Jambonet. Per alcuni, gli anni ’80 sono stati il momento di cibi pretenziosi e sofisticati, non sempre preziosissimi ma che almeno avevano l’intenzione di sembrarlo. Non così per alcuni ragazzotti appena usciti…

Milano: inaugurata l'esposizione Marcello Morandini "Arte protagonista nei nostri spazi"

Milano: inaugurata l'esposizione Marcello Morandini "Arte protagonista nei nostri spazi".  Cinque opere del maestro Marcello Morandini arrivano a Milano per essere esposte in due tra le più importanti istituzioni della città che ospitano nelle loro sedi un'ampia collezione di arte contemporanea: il Palazzo della Regione Lombardia e l'Università Bocconi. Tra i cinque lavori creati negli ultimi decenni con tecniche e materiali diversi (dal cartoncino al legno), tre sono stati messi a disposizione della Regione. Le nuove opere, due sculture e un pannello da muro, si potranno ammirare da oggi nel Foyer del 'Testori', una vera e propria galleria, situata all'ingresso dell'Auditorium al piano terra di Palazzo Lombardia, che riunisce già alcune significative sculture di Salvatore Fiume e Helidon Xhixha. Le due sculture di Morandini, 563 A e 573 A, sono state progettate per la personale del 2014 alla GNAM di Roma e realizzate in laminato stratificato Print HPL Abet Laminati. Una, 563 A, è tra le opere più importanti della collezione della Fondazione Marcello Morandini di Varese ed è stata concessa in comodato d'uso alla Regione. "Aprire i nostri spazi ai cittadini - spiega il presidente Attilio Fontana, che oggi ha inaugurato l'esposizione - è un modo d'agire che ha caratterizzato la scorsa legislatura e che continua a essere file rouge di quella in corso. Se poi protagonista è la cultura, in una forma artistica come quella del grande Marcello Morandini, allora il connubio diventa perfetto e certamente di altissima qualità". "Sono felice e onorato di questa collaborazione con il presidente Attilio Fontana con il quale c'è reciproca stima" racconta Marcello Morandini. "Abbiamo lavorato tanto insieme, quando lui era sindaco di Varese, per la cultura della città. Anche il progetto della mia Fondazione a Varese è nato in quel periodo ed è stato fortemente voluto da Fontana". Saranno invece due le opere che a settembre 2023 arricchiranno la nuova edizione di Bocconi Art Gallery, progetto dedicato all'arte contemporanea del prestigioso ateneo milanese che ogni anno apre le porte alla città con visite, incontri e una grande mostra di artisti affermati e giovani emergenti italiani e internazionali. Nato nel 2009 con l'idea di offrire agli studenti una prospettiva diversa sul mondo attraverso il linguaggio dell'arte del nostro tempo, Bocconi Art Gallery è cresciuto negli anni arrivando a portare a Milano centinaia di opere da tutto il mondo, grazie alla collaborazione di artisti, collezionisti, gallerie, fondazioni, musei italiani e stranieri. Le opere sono concesse in comodato d'uso, ma alcune sono state poi donate e sono diventate parte di una collezione permanente dell'Università che oggi conta 17 opere. Il maestro Morandini esporrà 368 e 369, due composizioni geometriche ed esemplari unici realizzati nel 1994, costituiti da otto cartoncini circolari, bianchi, neri e grigi, disposti a cerchio su muro.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article
