The Unreadable Heart ch. 1

The Heart of Rubble

The Unreadable Heart

Thornbushrose

Summary:

Birdie Garrett lives a deliberately peaceful life as a social worker at St Agnes Home for Boys, until a mysterious patient in the infirmary starts to challenge the rules she uses to keep the peace.

Teaser:

Birdie could sense hearts. She called it reading them, but it was much more than that. If she focused, she could perceive the emotional landscape inside someone. Hearts opened to her in a panorama of texture, sight and sound, like a movie in her mind. It was hard to interpret and sometimes traumatic. She had learned to block it out when she was a teenager, but some people projected. There was no way to ignore this man’s heart, so Birdie took a deep breath and opened up to it. Matthew Murdock didn’t have a heart so much as a huge pile of rubble, pulsing faintly and screaming in pain.

The Heart of Rubble

“Excuse me,” Birdie said, ushering two more boys into the room, “Mr and Mrs. Webster, I didn’t want you to leave without meeting Micah and Jesse. Their paperwork just came through.”

Birdie had spent her morning standing in a doorway, watching one awkward introduction after another, as St. Agnes’s Orphanage had offered the Websters child after child who met their detailed list of qualifications. The Websters had no doubt built the list over hours and hours of daydreaming in their lonely home.

Unfortunately, the list was crap. Birdie might have been the only one who could see that. People never know the shapes of their own hearts.

So when the final young man, a brusque four-year-old with curly hair, stumbled in and refused to meet their eyes, and the wife turned to the husband with that look of exhaustion that always preceded a disheartened retreat, Birdie leaned over to Sister Frannie and whispered, “Don’t let them leave yet. I’ll be right back.”

When she returned with Micah and Jesse, the four-year-old had gone back to class and Sister Frannie was telling the Websters some crazy story about meeting Pope John Paul when she was a kid, which must have been in the very bottom of her bag of nunly charms.

Micah and Jesse didn’t belong on the Websters’ list. They were brothers, and the Websters wanted a singleton. One of them was a year too old; the other had a medical condition. The Websters sighed and made brave smiles. The boys shook their hands like nervous little gentlemen. Birdie returned to her doorway, watching with satisfaction as four hearts clicked together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Two hours later, the Websters left with paperwork to fill out and an appointment to see “their boys” again on Tuesday. Sister Frannie couldn’t stop smiling her big, benevolent smile and patting Birdie’s hands. “You did it again! Such a gift! What are you doing here with us? You could sell ice cream to a polar bear!”

“I don’t sell ice cream,” Birdie said. “I sell kids. And there are only so many ways to do that legally.”

She didn’t have anything else to do until her appointment at one, so she volunteered to take the boys back to class. Instead, she took them to the kitchen, where the lunch sisters, Teesha and Hattie, fussed over the boys’ good news and gave them ice cream to celebrate. After the boys had finished licking their bowls and been sent back to class, Birdie asked the lunch ladies if there was anything she could do to help them out.

“You could do that,” sighed Sister Teesha, gesturing with her chin at a covered tray standing under the heat lamps. “You’re pretty tough.”

“What do you mean?”

“You’ve heard about our Patient X in the infirmary, haven’t you?”

Birdie had heard all about it. A grown man, a former resident of the orphanage, had been in some kind of accident and was being cared for in the infirmary for the last few weeks. Why he was there instead of a hospital was a lasting topic of debate among the more gossipy sisters. “Last I heard, he was still a vegetable.”

“He woke up on Saturday. That’s his lunch.”

“Ah. So where do I come in?”

Sister Hattie, the tiny, compassionate nun who would feed anyone who showed up, leaned in and said, “He’s awful! He made me cry yesterday!”

Birdie frowned. “Isn’t Sister Maggie in charge of him?”

“She’s at the Center, collecting donations.”

Birdie shrugged. It wouldn’t be the first time she dealt with a cranky client. “Okay, I’ll take it to him.”

The nuns gave her instructions and sent her up to the infirmary.

***

“Are you ready for lunch, Mr. Murdock?” Birdie called out as she entered the man’s room. She went to the table by his bed and set down the tray.

The man in the bed had probably been handsome when he was well, but weeks in bed had made him pale and hollow-looking, like a plant in a closet. Whatever had happened to him, his chest was completely covered in bandages and his arms and face were painted with red and purple scrapes and bruises. Lying on his back, he stared at the ceiling with half-closed eyes, like a corpse. He didn’t move a muscle to answer her.

Birdie said, “Mr. Murdock? Are you awake? I can’t tell.”

“I sleep with my eyes closed,” he said, faintly. “Just like sighted people.”

Birdie supposed that was meant to be a dig, but she didn’t let it sting her. “Well, for your information,” she said lightly, “some people don’t. Sighted or not.” She crossed the room and opened the cupboard there. “I’m Birdie Garrett. I’m a social worker with the orphanage.”

“Birdie? Like, tweet tweet?”

“Yep.” She opened the cabinet on the wall by his bed.

“Your parents hate you?”

“Yep, that’s why they named me Roberta.” Birdie checked the shelves on the far wall. “I’ve been Birdie since I was six.”

He waited while she looked through the laundry basket next to the cabinet. “You’re not a nun.”

“And you’re not a little boy. Isn’t life funny?”

Murdock stirred, shifting to face her slightly. “The chocolate’s a bit much.”

Birdie bent down to look under his bed and frowned. “What chocolate? Oh wait.” She sniffed her hands. “Yeah, this new lotion I bought wants everyone to know it has cocoa butter.”

His voice was weak but deep, and hoarse from weeks of disuse. “Why are you under my bed?”

“I’m looking for your backrest pillow. You don’t know where they keep it, do you?”

He gestured vaguely at his sightless eyes. “Haven’t seen it.”

“Har har,” Birdie said. “I’ll be right back.” She went out of the room and searched the linen closet, but of course those backrest pillows were only to be found when you didn’t want one. Eventually, she found one in another room and came back to her patient. “Got it.”

She set the pillow on the bed near his feet and pulled his sheet back. Close up, he looked like he’d been through a wood chipper; it was going on two months since whatever had happened to him, but he still had dozens of little cuts and scrapes all over his body. He had to be pretty bad off to take that long to heal shallow scratches like these, she thought. She kept any hint of pity off her face – not that he could see her anyway—and said, “I’m going to lift you and scoot you up the bed so you can sit. Tell me if I’m hurting you.”

She hooked her hands under his arms, set her legs, and pulled him up into an awkward hug. He was heavier than he looked; he must have had some muscle still in there. She prepared herself to haul him toward the head of the bed, but he did it himself with his arms. He had his lips pressed together, his face tightened against the pain, but a small groan came through anyway. Then they were done, and Birdie put the backrest pillow behind him and helped him settle back.

He obviously was used to keeping himself fit, she thought, before he’d injured his spine, and to have such reduced mobility must be hard for him. It was probably too early to know if he was going to get his legs back. So she turned away from him to fuss over his blankets, allowing him a little privacy to regain his composure.

Slowly, she became aware that something was bothering her. It was like the itch of hot sunlight on bare skin; like the tickle of a hair under the back of her clothes. Like voices hotly engaged in conversation, just barely heard through a wall. She swiped at her ear, her shoulder, her elbow, but there was nothing there. She turned back to Murdock, who was facing away from her, catching his breath, and she felt the heat on her face. It was him. More properly, it was his heart.

Matthew Murdock didn’t have a heart so much as a huge pile of rubble, pulsing faintly and screaming in pain.

He was in so much pain.

Not bodily pain. She was sure there was plenty of that, but hearts only revealed to her how people felt about their bodies, not actual sensations. Somehow, what had happened to this man was a lot worse than a spinal injury and a broken hip. He’d lost something – or someone – he loved, and worse. Something that had been the cornerstone of his entire identity. The writhing pile of broken cement and glass that had been his heart was crisscrossed with confusion, fuzzy and green like mold that burned rage-red around the edges. He didn’t understand what had happened to him, and he was furious about it.

He could be a ticking time bomb, she realized. Or he could overcome this and be stronger than before. It would depend on a lot of things.

“You okay?” he said.

Birdie returned to reality with a jolt. Murdock’s sightless features appeared to be focused on her. She was glad he couldn’t see the expression she quickly blinked off her face. “No, I’m… I’m fine. Just distracted by something.”

Her heart pounding, she uncovered his tray and set it in his lap. What would happen if the fury she sensed in him exploded? Would he harm himself? Would he turn violent? Was she safe, being alone with him?

He turned his face toward the tray. “Chicken noodle from a can.”

“Yeah,” Birdie said. She placed his hands on the cup of soup and the spoon. “Smells like childhood.”

“Yeah,” he murmured.

Grumpy or not, it was hard to imagine him becoming violent. This poor, pale, neglected houseplant. And whether she needed to protect herself from him or help him overcome whatever had uprooted his sense of self, she would have to start by talking to him. She settled back in her chair, casually laying an arm on his bed, next to his leg. “You grew up here, didn’t you? In the orphanage?”

“Yeah.” Very gingerly, he took a tiny amount of soup in the spoon and brought it to his lips.

“Were you adopted eventually?”

“No. There was one guy.” His voice turned hollow. “But it didn’t work. I aged out.”

Birdie nodded, forgetting he couldn’t see her. “That must have been tough.”

He didn’t answer, savoring his soup. Or maybe brooding over it. If he were anyone else, she would have been able to sense the difference. But not him. The screaming was too loud.

“Do you mind if I ask how you were injured?” Birdie asked.

“Yes.” Murdock set the soup down in his lap and groped on the tray. “I mind.” Birdie put the cup of water into his hand. He took a sip and changed the subject. “You said you work for the orphanage?”

“I’m a social worker. I represent the kids, make sure their needs are being met, facilitate adoptions, etc.”

“Does that work?”

“Sure. Our kids are happy and healthy. We have one of the highest adoption rates in Manhattan.”

Murdock set his cup down. He was starting to sound tired. “I meant, adoption. People just take home a random kid and they’re a family?”

Birdie pursed her lips. “Well, it takes work. All families take work.” She watched him eat pensively. “It worked for me, anyway.”

Murdock paused, mid-slurp. “You’re adopted?”

“My birth mother abandoned me as an infant. I joined my real family when I was two.”

“Does that make you mad?”

She sighed and brushed his arm with a napkin. “It used to. I mean, I had my angsty teenage years like everyone else.” She shrugged. “Now I’ve worked with too many people in ugly situations to judge. Maybe leaving me at the hospital was the best she could do.”

Murdock took the napkin and wiped his chin. “That’s very magnanimous of you.” All of his movements were slow, shaky.

“Yeah, well. Two summers at anger management camp is all it took.”

A corner of his mouth twitched. “Teenage angst?”

“I never do anything halfway.”

He snorted and turned back to his soup. Birdie decided to let him eat in peace.

She hadn’t actually spent two summers at anger management camp, of course, but it was easier than explaining the truth. I got arrested at thirteen and the people who said they could help tried to recruit me to join their mutant army, but don’t worry; I said no. Yeah, that would go over well.

A few minutes later, the cup was empty, and Birdie got up to clear away the trash. “Do you need help to lie down again?”

“I’d like to stay up,” he said. “Unless you need to return this pillow.”

“Pillow?” Birdie said, with a deliberately confused voice. “What pillow, Sister? Did you look in the linen closet?”

Something that had probably been a smile in a previous life brushed by his lips without reaching his eyes. “Thanks for that. No one else propped me up before.”

Birdie stopped in the act of lifting the tray. “What? How have you been eating?”

“On my back. They fed me with a spoon.”

Birdie frowned. “They can’t do that. That’s a choking hazard. I’ll talk to someone.” She carried the tray to the door. “I have to say, though, this was a very poor showing, Mr. Murdock. I was told you’d hurt my feelings.”

“Call me Matt,” he said. “And I tried my best. You just aren’t scared of me.”

“Unlike the sisters, I’m not intimidated by half-naked men.”

“Didn’t they tell you I’m the Devil?”

Birdie paused for a moment, choosing her next words carefully. “If the Devil himself had been through what you have, Matthew Murdock, I think he’d be a gibbering heap on the floor.”

Murdock turned his face away from her, blinking hard. Birdie carried the tray out and closed the door behind her.

***

Two days later, Birdie spent the morning holding an eight-year-old’s hand and introducing him to his new home. There were other people who did the real work of entering Parker into the databases, settling him into a dormitory, and developing a schedule of classes for him. Birdie served as his advocate, checking everything for errors, explaining things to him, and providing a familiar face, so the boy would feel safe enough to ask questions.

At lunchtime, she took him out to the tree-lined courtyard where the middle-schoolers were allowed to take their lunches. “Wanna see something cool?” she asked him, searching the branches of the trees above.

Parker shrugged. A moment later, Birdie found what she was looking for. “Psst! Harbinger!”

The raven swooped down to perch on the back of the bench opposite them. He clacked his beak at Birdie and eyed Parker suspiciously.

“Whoa!” the boy said, eyes wide.

“This is my friend, Harbinger,” Birdie said. She tossed him a chicken nugget from her plate. Harbinger caught it in the air, mashed it with his beak a bit and then swallowed it down. “Harbinger, this is Parker. He’s going to live here with the other boys.”

Harbinger did a spin-hop so he could peer at Parker with his other eye. He hopped a little closer along the back of the bench. Then he croaked, “Nevermore.”

“It talks!” Parker cried with delight.

Birdie grinned. “That’s the only thing he says around other people. He talks to me all the time, of course. He’s pretty snarky, for a bird.”

Harbinger turned his gaze on Birdie, raising his beak as if he were judging her. She let her expression turn smug, and then tossed him another chicken nugget.

“Can I pet him?” Parker asked.

“Probably not,” Birdie said. “He doesn’t really like being petted. But he’ll let you feed him the rest of these.” She scooted her tray of nuggets toward him. Parker grinned and picked one up.

“I wish you wouldn’t bring that godforsaken thing here,” said a long-suffering voice behind them.

Birdie jumped and turned to find Sister Maggie, a small nun with sharp eyes and a straight back, watching Harbinger with disapproval. Maggie was not unlike a raven herself: small, quick, bright-eyed and dangerous.

“Oh, hi, Sister Maggie,” Birdie fumbled. “Have you met Parker?”

“No,” Sister Maggie said. “Welcome to St. Agnes, Parker. We’re glad you’re here.” Her greeting sounded warm, but rehearsed.

“A word, please, Birdie?” She gestured for Birdie to walk with her, and there was nothing to do but promise Parker she’d be right back and follow her.

“Look,” she said, “I don’t bring Harbinger anywhere; he follows me around because he wants to.”

“I’m sure the chicken nuggets aren’t a deterrent,” Maggie said, leading her to an alcove near the door to the building. They could speak there quietly without Parker hearing them, but still watch him. “Aren’t you worried something will happen to him, letting him fly around free?”

“I pity the cat that tries something with him,” Birdie said. “And he doesn’t seem to hang with other ravens. I think he thinks he’s a person.”

Maggie scoffed and shook her head. “At any rate, I wanted to talk to you about Matthew. Our unusual patient in the infirmary? I understand you went to visit him the other day?”

“Oh—yes. I’ve been meaning to speak to you about him.”

“The lunch sisters said they asked you to give him his lunch.”

"Yes,” Birdie said. “I offered to help, and they seemed to be afraid of him.”

“And you?”

Birdie shrugged. “He isn’t as mean as he thinks he is.”

“I see. And why did you help him sit up?”

Birdie raised an eyebrow and reminded herself that it was unkind to sass a nun, even if she was asking stupid questions. Unfortunately, her mouth, as was so often the case, didn’t get the memo. “So he could eat?”

Maggie did not show any reaction to the disrespect. “Do you realize it isn’t safe to lift something heavy while leaning over a low bed like that?”

“I used my legs. And he’s not a something.” Birdie scoffed. “Are you seriously mad that I let him feed himself instead of spoon-feeding him?”

“I’m not mad. I know you meant well,” Maggie said. “But now he won’t eat unless we sit him up.”

“Good for him.”

“I appreciate all you do around here, Miss Garrett,” Maggie said, with a tone that suggested she was reminding herself that it would be unkind to sass Birdie, “But look at the situation you’ve put us in. Neither Sister Teesha nor Sister Hattie is strong enough to lift him, and it isn’t safe anyway.”

“And his dignity doesn't come into it? You're more worried about OSHA?” Birdie turned to put her back more squarely toward Parker, in case she failed to keep her temper down. “Making him eat on his back is an affront to compassion. Didn’t we sign a Resident Bill of Rights a couple of years ago?”

“He’s hardly a resident. And since you mentioned OSHA, what am I supposed to tell them if one of the sisters hurts her back lifting a 30-year-old man who isn’t supposed to be here?”

“Then raise his bed! Or get someone stronger to do it. The thing about rights is that there are no exceptions. Even if he IS the Devil!”

Most people didn’t talk back to Sister Maggie like this, but Birdie didn’t expect the little nun to rock her head back like she’d been slapped. Shock, then fury rolled across her face and off her body. “Who told you he was the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen?” She stepped toward Birdie and slapped her fist on her palm. “I made all of those women swear on the blood of Christ!”

“He told me himself,” Birdie said, holding her ground. Then her jaw dropped. “Wait—what? He’s Daredevil?”

Sister Maggie fell still, except for a barely perceptible quiver. Birdie could sense her trying to decide if she should explode in anger or sink into the concrete beneath them and disappear forever. “You didn’t—what did he tell you?”

“He said the lunch sisters were afraid of him because he was the Devil. That’s all. I thought—I mean, he obviously has some psychological issues ….” Birdie’s brain was racing. “He does all that ninja stuff and he’s blind?”

Sister Maggie lunged at her with a wagging finger. “If you tell ANYONE his secret, I swear I’ll… I’ll…!”

Birdie snapped, “You’ll what? Make me do Hail Marys? Sic the Saints on me? I’m not one of your nuns!”

Maggie drew herself up as tall as she could, which was still an inch below Birdie’s eye level. “I’ll make sure that the rest of your time working for St. Agnes is excruciating. And short.”

Birdie scowled. That was something Maggie was probably capable of doing. “So my job is what his secret is worth, huh?” She forced the anger down. “All right, calm down. I’m not going to tell anyone. It’s my job to help people in situations like his. And… Daredevil's kind of cool.”

“Good.” Sister Maggie turned around, wringing her hands, and breathed a Hail Mary under her voice. When she returned to Birdie, she was calm again, except for the light of an evil idea in her eyes. “All right then. Since you are apparently strong enough to lift him, and not afraid of the Devil, whether of Hell’s Kitchen or otherwise, you may serve him all his meals from now on. And clean his dishes.”

“You’re putting me on KP duty?”

“He won’t be here much longer. A couple of weeks, at most.”

“I leave at five. What about his supper?”

“I’m sure you’ll figure something out. It would violate his rights not to serve him an evening meal.” Sister Maggie stepped aside and waved Birdie toward the door. “I’ll look after Parker so you can go now. It’s already noon. I’m sure he’ll be hungry.”

Sunday 9th April, Easter Sunday.

Happy Easter, everybody! 🐣

After a breakfast of boiled eggs and soldiers 😃 we went to the office to pay.

When we came to France in 2017 we gave up our berth at Brixham marina. There was no guarantee that we would get it back in 2 years time. This time we have kept it on as we are away for just 3 months. However, still being bertholders it means we can take part in Passeports Escales. This is a scheme where, if you sign out of your own marina, you can get up to 5 nights per year (a maximum of 2 nights per visit) completely FREE of charge in 160 marinas between Belgium & Morocco, and there’s loads in Brittany. St.Helier was free and the first 2 here will be free too. Nice.

After breakfast we went for a walk around the headland to Solidor.

The walk was a bit of a climb at first but it soon became a nice flat walk way. Wild and rather quiet, you can see a superb panorama of the sea, Dinard, and also Saint-Malo.

There were some heavy fortifications up here.

The Battle of Saint-Malo was fought between Allied and German forces to control the French coastal town of Saint-Malo during World War II. The battle formed part of the Allied breakout across France and took place between 4 August and 2 September 1944. United States Army units, with the support of Free French and British forces, successfully assaulted the town and defeated its German defenders. The German garrison on a nearby island continued to resist until 2 September.

Saint-Malo was one of the French towns designated as a fortress under the German Atlantic Wall program, and its pre-war defenses were expanded considerably before the Allied landings in Normandy during June 1944. There were several gun emplacements on our walk, and boy, did they take a battering!

You can see the next one in the distance. Each one heavily pock-marked. Unfortunately, when the Germans withdrew they destroyed so much of the infrastructure that it was impossible for the Allies to use the port.

Our walk took us the Solidor Tower which is a strengthened keep with three linked towers, located in the estuary of the river Rance.

It was built between 1369 and 1382 by John V, Duke of Brittany to control access to the Rance at a time when the city of Saint-Malo did not recognize his authority. Over the centuries the tower lost its military interest and became a jail. It is now a museum celebrating Breton sailors exploring Cape Horn.

You can just make out the hydro-electric barrage in the background.

We ventured towards Solidor.

In the small park "Jardin" there is a beautiful sculpture. This is could be easily overlooked as the color of the sculpture doesn't particularly stand out from its surroundings.

It pays homage to Commander Charcot (who it seems was a bit of a ‘Flashheart’ character) and the crew of the Pourquoi-Pas, which disappeared at sea on September 16, 1936. It is a gift from the Republic of Iceland.

Jean-Baptiste Charcot, often called Commander Charcot was born on July 15, 1867 in Neuilly-sur-Seine and died September 16, 1936 at sea (30 miles northwest of Reykjavik), was a doctor, French polar explorer and a French naval officer.

A sportsman, he was French rugby union champion in 1896 and was also a double silver medalist in sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics.

We continued a few steps into Solidor and took refreshment at one of the very busy hostelries sitting outside in the warm sun looking over the bay. How very pleasant. 😎

We walked back to the boat to prepare our late Easter Sunday lunch of crab and shell-on prawns that we had bought in St.Helier. All washed down with a bottle of rosé. Lovely.

HIGHWAY 65 - Une bien jolie surprise pour ce polar de l'été.

Un film prenant qui repose sur un habile scénario et le jeu impeccable des acteurs en particulier de celle qui tient le rôle principal. La femme-flic en lunettes, qui se barbouille de Thina au moindre Falafel, pas sexy pour un sou ; mais désespérée et attachante, et surtout, tellement pertinente.

On pourrait juste déplorer des faiblesses de réalisation : le manque d'images, de panorama, de musique et de quelques travellings... Oui, réaliste et minimaliste, mais quznd même!

NOTE 15/20 - Même si l'intrigue de ce polar poisseux reste classique, Highway 65, tourné en hébreu, fait preuve d'originalité dans sa mise en scène et sa volonté de remettre en question les jeux de pouvoir patriarcaux et la place de la femme dans la société israélienne.

🚀 Descifrando Marte [ 🎬 DOCUMENTAL ]

Descifrando Marte. Imagina que estás en otro mundo donde el cielo arde con un tono carmesí, el paisaje consiste en interminables extensiones de llanuras de color óxido y volcanes que se elevan. Este es Marte, nuestro vecino en el sistema solar, un planeta que ha cautivado nuestra imaginación durante siglos. Pero, ¿qué sabemos realmente sobre este mundo alienígena? Desde los antiguos astrónomos que trazaban el cielo nocturno hasta los modernos rovers marcianos que cruzan su terreno rocoso, Marte siempre ha sido una fuente de misterio y fascinación. Su naturaleza esquiva ha desatado innumerables debates e inspirado muchas historias de ciencia ficción. Pero, ¿y si te dijéramos que la historia real de Marte es aún más intrigante que cualquier ficción? En este viaje, vamos a sumergirnos en el reino nunca antes visto e invisible de Marte, que está más allá del alcance de nuestros ojos humanos. Vamos a explorar Marte como nunca lo hemos visto antes, a través del prisma de las imágenes ultravioletas. Hoy hacemos un viaje con la nave espacial Maven de la NASA, que ha estado estudiando Marte desde su órbita desde 2014. Aprenderemos cómo se asoma a la atmósfera marciana, capturando imágenes con longitudes de onda más allá del espectro visible y revelando secretos que han estado ocultos durante siglos. El documental: https://youtu.be/-_w-EKQ4Agk Te puede interesar: - 👽 ¿Somos la Primera Civilización Avanzada? - 🛠️ 18 Herramientas Geniales Descifrando Marte: Nuestro viaje para descubrir Marte no comenzó con naves espaciales de alta tecnología e imágenes avanzadas. Comenzó hace siglos con mentes curiosas y telescopios rudimentarios. Los antiguos astrónomos fueron los primeros en trazar el camino de Marte a través del cielo nocturno, notando su distintivo tono rojizo. Pero no fue hasta la invención del telescopio en el siglo XVII que vimos por primera vez al planeta rojo. Los primeros observadores notaron los casquetes polares en las zonas oscuras, que confundieron con mares y continentes. A medida que los telescopios mejoraron, también lo hizo nuestra comprensión de Marte. El siglo XIX nos trajo los infames canales de Marte, una interpretación errónea de las características de la superficie que dio lugar a salvajes teorías sobre las civilizaciones marcianas. Volvamos al siglo XX, al inicio de la era espacial. Marte se convirtió en un objetivo principal para la exploración. La primera aproximación exitosa fue la nave espacial Mariner 4 de la NASA en 1965, cuando envió las primeras imágenes de cerca de Marte. Desde entonces, una flota completa de orbitadores, landers y rovers de varias agencias espaciales han asumido el papel de explorar Marte. Cada misión, cada salto tecnológico, nos ha acercado más a entender a Marte. Uno de los avances más significativos en la exploración de Marte ha sido el desarrollo de la tecnología de imágenes. Desde las fotos en blanco y negro granuladas de las misiones Mariner, hemos pasado a panoramas en color de alta resolución, imágenes infrarrojas e incluso ultravioletas. Las imágenes ultravioletas, en particular, han abierto una nueva ventana a Marte. Nos permiten ver lo que nuestros ojos no pueden ver: las complejas interacciones entre la atmósfera marciana y la radiación solar. Esto nos lleva a la misión Maven y su espectrógrafo de imágenes ultravioleta, conocido como IUVS, un instrumento que ha revolucionado nuestra comprensión de Marte. Ya hemos establecido que en la gran carrera de la exploración de Marte, una misión se destaca por su enfoque único para desvelar los secretos del planeta rojo. La sonda Maven de la NASA, lanzada en 2013, la Evolución de la Atmósfera y los Volátiles de Marte, o Maven por sus siglas en inglés, tenía un propósito único: estudiar la atmósfera superior de Marte. A diferencia de los rovers que exploran la superficie marciana, Maven orbita cerca del planeta, examinando detenidamente el tenue velo de gas que cubre Marte. Desde 2014, Maven ha estado observando diligentemente la atmósfera marciana, centrándose en sus interacciones con el sol y el viento solar. Estas interacciones son clave para comprender cómo Marte perdió gran parte de su atmósfera con el tiempo, transformándose en el frío y yermo planeta que vemos hoy en día. En el corazón de la misión Maven se encuentra un instrumento notable: el espectrógrafo ultravioleta de imagen, o IUVS por sus siglas en inglés. Este dispositivo no solo fotografía Marte, sino que captura la luz ultravioleta invisible para nuestros ojos. En el contexto de Marte, la luz ultravioleta es especialmente importante para estudiar la atmósfera del planeta. Cuando la luz ultravioleta del sol entra en la atmósfera marciana, interactúa con los gases allí presentes, haciendo que brillen en el espectro ultravioleta. El IUVS mide longitudes de onda de 110 a 340 nanómetros, mucho más allá del espectro visible. Esto es similar a descubrir una nueva dimensión de observación que nos brinda acceso a un área de información previamente inaccesible. Pero, ¿cómo interpretamos esta luz invisible? ¿Cómo podemos traducirla en algo que podamos entender? La respuesta está en la magia del proceso de formación de imágenes en colores falsos. Diferentes longitudes de onda de radiación ultravioleta se asignan a colores dentro del espectro visible. En el caso del IUVS, tres rangos específicos de longitud de onda ultravioleta se representan en rojo, verde y azul, los colores primarios de la luz. Las longitudes de onda más cortas, alrededor de 110 nanómetros, se representan en azul; las longitudes de onda intermedias, alrededor de 180 nanómetros, en verde; y las más largas, hasta 340 nanómetros, en rojo. Al asignar colores a estas longitudes de onda, podemos crear imágenes que revelan detalles complejos de la atmósfera marciana. Pero no se trata solo de color. El brillo de cada color en la imagen corresponde a la intensidad de la luz ultravioleta. Las áreas más brillantes indican mayores intensidades, lo que significa una mayor concentración del gas o elemento que el IUVS está observando. Al combinar estos colores y niveles de brillo, el IUVS crea una imagen integral de la atmósfera marciana en luz ultravioleta. Es un poco como pintar, pero en lugar de óleo o acuarelas, utilizamos luz de diferentes longitudes de onda e intensidades. Estas imágenes no solo son hermosas, sino también increíblemente informativas. Nos muestran la distribución de varios gases en la atmósfera marciana, el efecto de la radiación solar e incluso el efecto de las tormentas de polvo en la pérdida atmosférica. A través de la lente del IUVS, vemos Marte bajo una nueva luz y nos acercamos a responder la antigua pregunta: ¿qué le sucedió a la atmósfera de Marte? La misión Maven nos ha proporcionado imágenes verdaderamente impresionantes de Marte tomadas con luz ultravioleta. Estas imágenes, tomadas en diferentes puntos de la órbita de Marte alrededor del Sol, ofrecen una perspectiva única del planeta rojo y las estaciones cambiantes. Las imágenes tomadas por Maven en diferentes momentos del año muestran cambios dramáticos en la atmósfera marciana. Muestran cómo la distribución de gases como el dióxido de carbono y el ozono cambia con las estaciones, similar a los cambios de color de las hojas en la Tierra. Esta primera imagen fue tomada en julio de 2022 durante la temporada de verano en el hemisferio sur. Esto ocurrió cuando Marte estaba más cerca del Sol. La inclinación del eje de rotación del planeta provoca el verano en el hemisferio sur, similar al cambio de las estaciones en la Tierra. En esta imagen, vemos la cuenca de Argyre, uno de los cráteres más profundos de Marte, lleno de una neblina atmosférica representada en rosa pálido. Los profundos cañones del Valle Marineris están llenos de nubes de color beige. El casquete polar sur, resaltado por un punto blanco debajo, se está encogiendo debido al relativo calor del verano. La segunda imagen fue tomada en enero de 2023, después de que Marte hubiera pasado el punto más alejado de su órbita del Sol. Esta imagen captura el hemisferio norte de Marte, donde las estaciones que cambian rápidamente causan una gran cantidad de nubes blancas. Los profundos cañones del Valle Marineris se pueden ver resaltados en beige en la esquina inferior izquierda, junto con muchos cráteres. El ozono, que se muestra en magenta en esta imagen UV, se formó durante las noches polares del invierno boreal. Vale la pena señalar que la imagenría producida por el orbitador proporciona información valiosa sobre la atmósfera de Marte y su interacción con la radiación solar. Los diferentes colores representan diferentes elementos y compuestos en la atmósfera, y su distribución nos da una idea del clima y las condiciones meteorológicas marcianas. Por ejemplo, las áreas púrpuras de la imagen representan el ozono en la atmósfera de Marte, las áreas blancas y azules representan nubes o niebla en el cielo marciano. La superficie del planeta aparece marrón o verde según cómo se hayan optimizado las imágenes para realzar el contraste y los detalles. Estas imágenes también muestran los efectos de la radiación solar en la atmósfera marciana. Las manchas brillantes en las imágenes indican áreas donde la atmósfera responde fuertemente a la radiación solar, lo que indica la tasa de pérdida de la atmósfera. Además, las imágenes de Maven nos han dado una perspectiva única de las tormentas de polvo marcianas. Estas tormentas, que pueden envolver todo el planeta, tienen un impacto significativo en la atmósfera. Las imágenes de Maven muestran cómo las partículas de polvo suben a la atmósfera superior, afectando su composición y comportamiento. Mientras admiramos las impresionantes imágenes ultravioletas de Marte y la riqueza de información que brindan, es interesante pensar en el futuro de la exploración de Marte. La misión Maven ya ha avanzado mucho en nuestro entendimiento de la atmósfera marciana y su interacción con la radiación solar, pero este es solo el principio. Los datos y las imágenes de Maven se seguirán analizando e interpretando, lo que eventualmente conducirá a descubrimientos. Como en el caso de Venus, se pueden hacer descubrimientos inesperados e impresionantes incluso estudiando datos de hace 30 años. Una de las implicaciones más importantes de los descubrimientos de Maven es su potencial para su uso en futuras misiones a Marte. Al entender la atmósfera marciana y sus cambios, podemos planificar mejor las futuras misiones robóticas y humanas a Marte. Por ejemplo, entender las condiciones meteorológicas y atmosféricas marcianas puede ayudar a diseñar naves espaciales y equipos que puedan resistir las duras condiciones marcianas. También puede ayudar a seleccionar los mejores sitios de aterrizaje para futuras misiones. Además, los hallazgos de Maven sobre la pérdida de la atmósfera marciana pueden proporcionar pistas sobre si el planeta era habitable en el pasado. Esto puede ayudar en la búsqueda de signos de vida pasada en Marte, que es uno de los objetivos de las próximas misiones. Mirando aún más hacia el futuro, podemos imaginar un momento en que los humanos pondrán un pie en Marte. El conocimiento obtenido de la misión Maven y de otras misiones será crucial para preparar este paso monumental. De hecho, la pregunta de qué se necesita para establecer una presencia humana en Marte es un tema que hemos discutido antes, arrojando luz sobre los desafíos y oportunidades que nos esperan. A medida que continuemos explorando Marte, podemos esperar el desarrollo de tecnologías de imagen aún más avanzadas. Estos podrían revelar aún más detalles sobre Marte, desde su estructura subsuperficial hasta la composición de las partículas de polvo más pequeñas. El camino para entender Marte es largo y difícil, pero con cada nueva misión y cada nuevo descubrimiento, nos acercamos a desentrañar los misterios del planeta rojo. Y quién sabe, tal vez algún día podamos ver Marte no solo en luz ultravioleta, sino también con nuestros propios ojos desde su superficie. Read the full article

General Information & OnePlus 8 Price In Bangladesh We can confirm that it resonates with us, even more so with the new OnePlus 8 line. The phones are among the most expensive so far. We suspect the 5G factor is the culprit. However, there are other factors. OnePlus 8 price in Bangladesh is very High. The 1 Plus 8 price in Bangladesh is the Official Price: 59,990/- tk The OnePlus 8 Pro, for instance, is not compromising on features such as fast wireless charging and IP68 protection. As a result, the company feels comfortable enough to release a smartphone that asks how much the current Galaxy S20+ costs. The vanilla OnePlus 8 is still aimed at those who want the same fluid OxygenOS experience without spending as much. The standard 8 isn't cheap, however. It's significantly more expensive than its predecessor, the OnePlus 7T. And it's even more costly than the 7T Pro and 7T. What gives?

However, it's unknown which version of Gorilla Glass OnePlus is used for the front or back. The OnePlus 8 felt much smaller than its predecessor, which surprised us. The aspect ratio is probably why the 8 feels smaller than its predecessor. It's slightly taller, but it's also significantly narrower. This allows for a more comfortable grip. It is now more challenging to reach the top of the display. There are some caveats to the 20:9 aspect ratio. The finish is another noticeable difference. It looks almost the same as the old one, with its smooth, frosted glass. Although it feels great to touch and is very premium, it cannot be easy to handle. The new 8 retains the same finish but is a little grippier. It has a similar finish to the Pixel 4-series and is closer to the rubbery feel. It's still very slippery, but don't let that fool you. The Glacial Green color we received is at least resistant to fingerprints. They are difficult to spot and don't stick as well. OnePlus 8 Display Although the display on the vanilla OnePlus 8 may not have the same features as the Pro, it doesn't make it less impressive. This could be the best screen we have seen in this category. The panel is OLED and has a 1080x2400px resolution. It also features a 20:9 aspect ratio. Fluid AMOLED is the name OnePlus gave it because of its curves and 90Hz refresh rate. Software The Oneplus 8 comes with Android 10, Upgradable to Android 11 and OxygenOS 11. The new OxygenOS has a few new features, but there aren't many major changes. Some of these features might also end up in older models. The overall Android experience is stocky, with some minor additions still available. Performance We didn't see any hangs or hiccups while using the device. With the Snapdragon 865 chipset, the OS ran without issue and ran smoothly. It's based upon the 7nm+ EUV manufacturing process, which promises marginal power savings and better overall performance than the Snapdragon-855 chipset.

It consists of an Adreno 650 GPU and an octa-core CPU. It consists of a Kryo585 core running at 2.84 GHz, a cluster of three Kryo585 cores running at 2.42 GHz, and four additional Kryo585 cores operating at 1.8 GHz. The chipset is supported by 12GB LPDDR4X memory, 256GB UFS 3.0 storage, and four additional Kryo 585 cores running at 2.84 GHz. The vanilla 8 does not have the LPDDR5 memory. The other configuration uses 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Camera The Oneplus comes with a 48MP Main Camera and 16 MP selfie camera. The OnePlus 8 replaces the telephoto lens with a dedicated macro lens. The zoom photos can be cropped by 2x from the main 48MP sensor. The features of the Video are the Rear camera 4K 2160p@30/60fps Full HD 1080p@30/60/240fps Full HD 1080p@30/60/240fps 720p@480fps Full HD 1080p@30. Sound Stereo loudspeakers are included in the OnePlus 8. One is located at the bottom, and the other is hidden behind the small bezel at the top. Both are louder than the previous lineup, but the 8 has a better quality aspect. The vocals sound clear, and the bass is impressive for such small speakers. Oneplus 8 Battery The OnePlus 8's battery life is Very Good. The phone's standby time was excellent, even with the external Snapdragon X554G+5G modem. We were impressed by the on-screen results. The almost no difference between the 60Hz and 90Hz screen modes was even more impressive. The difference lasted several minutes and was more likely due to statistical error than anything else. The jump to a 4,300mAh battery has been more than welcomed and has greatly improved battery life. Our Opinion The OnePlus 8 Price In Bangladesh is high but, The OnePlus 8 is a great phone. It has a nice main camera performance, good battery life, a fast charger, a bright display at 90Hz, the best-sounding stereo speakers, an unrivaled fingerprint reader performance, and OxygenOS, which is fast and optimized.
