16.07.2021, Dresden - Ein Mann hält im Einkaufszentrum Elbepark seine FFP2 Maske in der Hand. In Sachsen wird ab heute die Maskenpflicht gelockert. Wenn die Zahl neuer Corona-Fälle pro 100000 Einwohnern und sieben Tagen unter 10 liegt - wie derzeit in allen Städten und Landkreisen - und der Mindestabstand eingehalten wird, muss beim Einkaufen in Supermärkten und anderen Geschäften keine Maske mehr getragen werden. +++ dpa-Bildfunk +++

FILE - Impact craters cover the surface of the moon, seen from Berlin, Germany, Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2022. The moon is about to get walloped by 3 tons of space junk, a punch that will carve out a crater that could fit several semitractor-trailers. A leftover rocket is expected to smash into the far side of the moon at 5,800 mph (9,300 kph) on Friday, March 4, 2022, away from telescopes’ prying eyes. It may take weeks, even months, to confirm the impact through satellite images. (AP Photo/Michael Sohn, File)

Genetic lottery: Excuse to do nothing or do everything? 23.09.2021

We inherit genes from our parents like it's a lottery — a game of luck. And we're still learning about genetics, and how to use the science for society.

ourists can now experience life on Mars – in a cave in northern Spain. At Astroland's Ares Station, a replica of a human colony on the red planet, participants carry out spacewalks, simulate weightlessness and learn how to grow food in specialised laboratories. Organisers say the lack of atmosphere, extreme low temperatures and presence of cosmic rays on Mars would mean new societies would likely be forged below ground. Visitors complete 26 days of online courses and undergo three days of intensive training before entering the 1.5 km, 60 metre-high cave near Arredondo in Cantabria. They stay for three nights and pay €6,000 each for the privilege. Quelle: https://www.astrolandagency.com/contact-us/ zuletzt aufgerufen am 04.09.2019
