Astronomers Detect Hints of Earth’s Atmospheric Characteristics in Scorching Exoplanet WASP-189b | The Weather Channel – Articles from The Weather…
Posted: at 7:10 am
Artists impression of WASP-189b, an exoplanet orbiting the star HD 133112 which is one of the hottest stars known to have a planetary system.
Among the infinite mysteries of the cosmic world, one of the most intriguing aspects is the possibility of alien life. And the first step towards understanding such probability is to hunt for faraway worlds that resemble Earth-like conditions to host life as we know it.
Recently, astronomers have revealed some exciting details about the atmosphere of WASP-189ba scorching exoplanet located about 322 light-years from Earth. The exotic worlds located beyond the realms of our solar system are called exoplanets, and we have detected more than 4,000 such planets so far. But these new findings show that WASP-189b is absolutely unique!
Interestingly, this hot, Jupiter-like planet might consist of distinct atmospheric layersjust like planet Earth.
Earths atmosphere has five major layers: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. Each of these layers has a role to play, like the stratosphere hosts the ozone layer, while the troposphere hosts life-sustaining oxygen.
Earlier, astronomers believed that exoplanets usually host only uniform layers, but this study suggests otherwise. This is for the first time that scientists have been able to detect the presence of distinct layers in the atmosphere of such a hostile exoplanet.
Astronomers from the Universities of Lund, Bern, and Geneva peered into the atmosphere of this exoplanet using the CHEOPS space telescope. Moreover, they also carried out detailed investigations using the HARPS spectrograph at the La Silla Observatory in Chile, which allowed them to get insights into the exoplanets atmosphere.
They found fingerprints of gases like iron, chromium, vanadium, magnesium, and manganese during the investigation. According to the statement, they found that the fingerprints of the different gases were slightly altered than expected. Further extensive observations revealed hints of layers on the hot exoplanet.
The team hypothesised that the alterations could result from strong winds and other processes. And this could possibly indicate the presence of different atmospheric layers.
Surprisingly, the team also detected the presence of titanium oxide that may act as an ozone layer to this exoplanet.
Titanium oxide absorbs shortwave radiation, such as ultraviolet radiation. Its detection could therefore indicate a layer in the atmosphere of WASP-189b that interacts with the stellar irradiation similarly to how the Ozone layer does on Earth, said Kevin Heng, study co-author from the University of Bern and a member of the NCCR PlanetS.
Observations conducted using the space-based telescope revealed several other details about the scorching WASP-189b. The exoplanet is 20 times closer to its host star than Earth is to the Sun, while the blistering daytime temperature shoots up to 3200C at WASP-189b.
The study results can further our understanding of the atmospheres of other bizarre exoplanets, including Earth-like planets. We never know; scientists might even detect worlds just like the planet Earth sooner than expected.
The results have been published in the journal Nature Astronomy and can be accessed here.

Kier to supply onshore converter for Sofia Offshore Wind Farm – Power Technology
Posted: at 7:10 am
US-based energy conglomerate General Electric (GE) has selected British construction firm Kier to deliver an onshore converter station for RWEs 3bn ($4.06bn) Sofia Offshore Wind Farm in the UK.
The converter station will be installed next to the Wilton Complex, which is located near the village of Lazenby.
Kier will be responsible for civil engineering and building construction works on the valve halls, control and ancillary buildings.
Its work scope includes the installation of heating, cooling, building management systems and all associated building services at the project site, which covers a 34,000m total area.
Kier Infrastructure Group managing director Mark Pengelly said: We have an established track record of delivery of civil works for power station and energy from waste plants and Sofia is an exciting project for us to be involved in.
As we all continue to find ways to be more sustainable, we expect that energy will be a key growth area for Kier over the coming years.
This project will also bring significant economic benefits to the north-east as we will deliver it collaboratively with our trusted local supply chain partners.
The Sofia Offshore Wind Farm will also feature 100 turbines, an offshore converter station and inter-array and export cables measuring hundreds of kilometres in length, as well as onshore electrical infrastructure.
Once completed, the project is expected to generate enough green energy to power around 1.2 million average UK homes and displace more than 2.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions a year.
Kier plans to begin works at the site early this year, with the onshore converter station scheduled for completion in mid-2025.
Last June, RWE began construction works at the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm project at Dogger Bank, UK.
The facility features 100 14MW wind turbines supplied by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.

Caverton Offshore Support: Walking A TightropeTHISDAYLIVE – THISDAY Newspapers
Posted: at 7:10 am
Kayode TokedeOn the heels of growing operating expenses and net exchange difference, Caverton Offshore Support Group Plc recorded one of the worst result and accounts in its full year ended December 31, 2021.
Though the support and logistics company listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) recorded increase in revenue, several mitigating factors such foreign exchange loss due to local currency devaluation by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and cost of operating its 27 aircraft play a critical role in the companys worst performance in over 10 years.
Caverton reported a loss of N5.9billion in 2021 unaudited result and accounts for period ended December 31, 2021 from N1.26billion profit before tax reported in prior year result and accounts.This simply means that the management of Caverton might not be paying shareholders dividend for the first time in four years.
The management had recommended payment of dividend of 10 kobo per share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2020 (2019: 20 kobo per share). Between 2018 and 2017, it proposed a dividend of N0.25 and N0.15 kobo, respectively.
Apparently, the decline in global oil prices led to lesser contracts for Caverton, as most of its clients struggled to survive the economic hardship necessitated by COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of 2021.
It reflected in the companys H1 unaudited results as the management battled to manage its operating expenses amid minimal growth in revenue.
The company in H1 2021 reported N18.07billion revenue, 12.4per cent increase from N16.08billion reported in H1 2020, while operating expenses grew significantly by 12 per cent to N11.7billion in H1 2021 from N10.5billion reported in H1 2020.
Reduction in finance cost impacted positively on Profit before tax in H1 2021, gaining about four per cent to N924.5million in H1 2021 from N889.14million in H1 2020.
However, in the nine months of 2021, the support and logistics company was able to enhance revenue amid the relaxation of travel restrictions occasioned by the pandemic and increased economic activities that drove recovery in the aviation sector.
Operating ExpensesBut, operating expenses, among other financial parameters continued to amount to put the companys profit at risk.
Revenue reported in nine months ended September 2021 stood at N27.08billion, an increase of 15 per cent to N23.63billion reported in nine months of 2020, while operating expenses grew by 16.3 per cent to N18.27billion in nine months of 2021 from N15.7billion in nine months of 2020.Net finance charges thus gained 23 per cent to N3.3billio in nine months of 2021 from N2.67billion in nine months of 2020.
The growth in operating expenses and finance charges dragged Cavertons profit before tax downward to N1.2billion in nine months of 2021, a decline of 27.4 per cent from N1.54billion reported in nine months of 2020.
Meanwhile, the companys in the last quarter (Q4) of 2021 performance failed to reflect steady increase in global oil price as revenue dropped by nearly seven per cent to N7.98billion from N8.55billion reported in Q4 2020.Amounting operating expenses in Q4 2021 grew by 221 per cent to N9.25billion from N2.88billion reported in Q4 2020.
Cavertons whose business model is such that its logistics services are mostly needed by local and international oil and gas companies in Nigeria when its customers in the oil & gas sectors are making money.
What this means, therefore, is that as global demand for crude oil rises, Caverton had struggle to compete in the support logistics services for local and international oil & gas companies operating in the country.
Currently, Caverton contends with Bristow Helicopters and OAS Helicopters for market share. These two companies are understandably making their own expansion moves with hopes of taking more advantage of the market. More so, Caverton must also ensure to reduce its liabilities and operational costs down.
Expenses Outshines RevenueFor the unaudited December 31, 2021 unaudited results, Caverton recorded N35.06billion revenue from N32.17billion reported in 2020, an increase of about nine per cent. The growth was driven primarily by N33.96billion revenue from helicopter and airplane contracts in 2021 from N30.84billion in 2020.Helicopter Charter dropped to N956.2million in 2021 from N1.08billion in 2020 to highlight slow activities in the year under review despite ease on COVID-19 restriction movements. With slow activities, Helicopter maintenance contract dropped by 80 per cent to N10.4million in 2021 from N50.9 million in 2020.
From the profit & loss figures, the company reported 48.06 per cent increase in operating expenses to N27.5billion in 2021 from N18.59billion in 2020, driven primarily by 35.13 per cent growth in Aviation fuel, spare parts and consumables to N8.74billion in 2021 from N6.46billion in 2020.Aircraft insurance premium grew by 29 per cent to N1.69billion in 2021 from N1.32billion in 2020 as Crew salaries also grew by 17.5 per cent to N9.76billion in 2021 from N8.3 billion in 2020 despite slow activities.
Administrative expenses that comprises of employee benefit expense, management expenses, among others dropped by 13.3 per cent to N5.35billion in 2021 from N6.17billion in 2020.Caverton Offshore Support closed 2021 with net foreign exchange difference of about N3.5billion in 2021 from N2.35billion in 2020.
The breakdown revealed that Exchange gain was at N130.5million in 2021 from exchange loss of N1.35billion in 2020 and exchange loss closed 2021 at N3.6billion in 2021 from N3.7billion gain in 2020.
As regards finance cost, the company reported interest on debts and borrowing of N4.64billion in 2021 from N4.03billion in 2020 as other bank charges rose significantly by 166 per cent to N4.6billion in 2021 from N1.74billion in 2020.
Both the long and short Interest-bearing loans and borrowings grew by 0.4 per cent to N20.92billion in 2021 as against N20.85billion reported in 2020. The short Interest-bearing loans and borrowings moved from N11.11billion to N11.29billion in 2021, while long Interest-bearing loans and borrowings closed 2021 at N9.62billion from N9.7billion reported in 2020.
In all, the companys profit closed 2021 at N5.9billion loss from N1.18billion reported in 2020. The performance related in Earning Per Share for the year, moving from N0.35 to a loss of N1.77 per share.
Trade, Payables Lifts LiabilitiesIn the period under review, the company grew its total liabilities by 41per cent to N64 billion from N40.6 billion reported in 2020, driven by increase in trade & other payables.Trade & other payables gained 106.7per cent to N27.94billion in 2021 from N13.52billion in 2020 to push current liabilities up by 47.4 per cent to N43.3billion in 2021 from N29.35billion in 2020.Meanwhile, non-current liabilities gained 28.14per cent to N20.77billion in 2021 from N16.21billion in 2020.
The financial position showed a decline of about 28.5 per cent to N15.7 billion in total equity of Caverton in 2021 from N21.96billion reported in 2020. About 46 per cent decline in retained earnings to N7.79billion was responsible in decline in total equity in 2021 from N13.49billion reported in 2020.
However, total assets grew by 18.12 per cent to N79.75billion in 2021 from N67.5billion reported in 2020.
As current assets grew by 47.1 per cent to N36.93billion in 2021 from N25.11billion in 2020, non-current assets moved from N42.41billion in 2020 toN36.93billion in 2021.Cavertons capital structure ratios revealed that Net debt/Equity closed 2021 at 1.72x from 0.93x in 2020 as asset turnover dropped to 0.44x in 2021 from 0.48x in 2020.
Working capital closed 2021 at negative N6.3billion from negative N4.23billion in 2020. The negative working capital can affect the companys longer-term investment effectiveness and its financial strength in covering short-term liabilities.
Strategy to Improve PerformanceThe Chief Executive Officer, Caverton, Mr. Bode Makanjuola in a statement said the loss was caused by the significant reduction in revenue due to several mitigating factors because of the COVID-19 pandemic which resulted in drop in oil production and net foreign exchange loss due to Naira devaluation against the dollar.
As a result of this our direct costs increased significantly in 2021, he said.He explained further that, notwithstanding the loss reported in 2021, Caverton has robust reserves to accommodate this loss and a bulk of the reported loss is a one-time charge on our accounts which arose from high start-up costs of our most recent helicopter contract with Chevron.
To further boost revenues, the Group has been exploring further opportunities within and outside the oil and gas sector. In addition to growing our market share in the oil and gas logistics sector, our primary focus for the year will be on third party training and maintenance.
Our Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility and our Caverton Aviation Training Centre (CATC), both in Lagos, officially commenced business operation in the 2nd half of 2021. Prospects for training and maintenance is extremely positive as we are in advanced contract negotiations with a number of government and private institutions across Sub-Saharan Africa.
CATC full flight simulator gained full certification by EASA, (European Union Aviation Safety Agency), in October 2021. The EASAs mission is to promote the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation.
The Agency develops common safety and environmental rules at the European level. With global certification by an internationally recognized body CATC is now suitably qualified to undertake simulator training on the AW139 helicopter for Pilots from Nigeria and any part of the world and we expect this to not only boost the Groups revenue in the coming year, but also reduce capital flight from Nigeria.

Lunar New Year: The Astronomy of Chinese New Year Explained – Newsweek
Posted: at 7:10 am
The Chinese New Year or the Lunar New Year falls on Tuesday with over a billion people in China and millions of others around the world celebrating the beginning of the Year of the Tiger.
The beginning of the 15-day festival on February 1 and the end of the Year of the Ox, also marks the date of the new moon in Asia. The celebrations are considered to be a time to honor ancestors and deities as well as spending time with family.
Though China follows the Gregorian calendara solar dating system introduced Pope Gregory XIII in 1582in everyday life, the Chinese calendar is used to mark traditional holidays like the New Year.
This calendar is lunisolar in nature, which means that it is based on the cycles of both the moon and the sun. The Lunar New Year begins each year with the first new moon of the lunar calendar.
According to the Farmer's Almanac, the new moon is essentially the opposite of the full moon. Rather than seeing the side of the moon illuminated by the sun as we do during a full moon with the effect of making it appear as a bright full disc, during the new moon, we see the moon's non-illuminated side making it appear mostly dark blending in with the night sky.
This happens because the new moon marks the time during the lunar cycle at which the moon is almost perfectly aligned with Earth on one side and the sun on the other. Because the moon takes 29.5 days to orbit the Earth and complete a lunar cycle this usually occurs once a month.
In the Chinese calendar, a month lasts a lunar cycle, with its first day marked by the new moon. There are usually 12 months in a Chinese calendar year, but in order to catch up with the Gregorian calendar an extra month is added every two or three years.
All of this means that the Lunar New Year falls on a different day each year though it always falls between January 20 and February 21 on the Gregorian calendar. The first new moon in Asia this year occurred at 1:46 pm Beijing time on February 1, or 12:46 am ET on the same day.
The end of the 15-day New Year celebration is also marked by a significant event in the lunar cycle, the full moon following the year's first new moon.
The end of New Year celebrations in Asian countries including China, North and South Korea, Singapore, Mongolia, Tibet, and Vietnam falls on February 15 this year. This is timed each year to coincide with the full moon following the first new moon of the year and will be marked by The Lantern Festival. This may not always be the first full moon of the year according to the Gregorian calendar.
The Year of the Tiger, which occurs once every 12 years with the last one in 2010, will last until the first new moon of next year which falls on January 22, 2023. This marks the beginning of the Year of the Water Rabbit.

Heerema Shows XXL Offshore Wind Turbine Floating Installation Method – Video | Offshore Wind – Offshore WIND
Posted: at 7:10 am
Following the recent completion of the first offshore test, Heerema Marine Contractors has issued a video showing a novel method of assembling and installing XXL wind turbines onboard a floating, dynamically positioned (DP) vessel.
The method was tested in the Dutch North Sea onboard the largest semi-submersible crane vessel in the world, Sleipnir.
Heerema performed the demonstration project, known as Floating Offshore Installation of XXL Wind Turbines (FOX), in collaboration with DOT and the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) to collect operational data and test installation methods and durations.
This demonstration project was supported by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy and Eneco. The partners worked together with a wide range of subcontractors who have supported this test, including Heerema Engineering Solutions, F&B Group, Harco Heavy Lifting, Ampelmann, Sif, and CAPE Holland.
The novel Rotor Nacelle Assembly (RNA) method, developed by Heerema for the next generation of wind turbines, will for the first time be utilised on Parkwinds Arcadis Ost 1 offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.
Heerema will deploy the second-largest semi-submersible vessel in the world, Thialf, on the project.
As previously reported, Thialf will have to undergo certain modifications to the cranes in order to be able to sail under Denmarks Storebaelt Bridge and enter the Baltic Sea.
Thialf is scheduled to start installing the 27 Vestas 9.5 MW wind turbines at Arcadis Ost I using the RNA method later this year.

How To Find The Picture NASA Took On Your Birthday – YourTango
Posted: at 7:10 am
Its always fun to find the things that define your birthday. Whether its your zodiac sign, the top song on the Billboard charts, or the #1 movie, its always interesting to see how things were the day you were born.
Now you can add a NASA astronomy picture of the day (APOD) to your list.
A new trend on TikTok has people sharing the picture the Hubble Space Telescope took on their birthday.

The Hubble, which launched in 1990 and has been roaming in space ever since, explores the universe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, taking photos every day on its journey, according to NASA.
Beginning in 1995, NASA has chosen a daily photo taken from the Hubble Space Telescope as their Astronomy Picture of the Day. Each image is archived on NASAs website along with a description of the image written by an astronomer.
And in 2021, they launched a website that allows anyone to search for the APOD selected on their birthday (or any other day you find significant).
To find your NASA picture of the day for your birthday or if you were born before , you simply go to the NASA APOD calendar archive. There are a few ways you can get there.
1. Do a Google search for "NASA calendar."
2. Click on the search result that takes you to the Astronomy Picture of the Day Calendar.
3. Find your birth year in the table and click on the month your birthday falls in.
4. Count the days to find your birthday and click on the image to see it and read all about it.
1. Simply go directly to the tool NASA developed to make finding the picture they took on your birthday.
2. Select the month and day of your birthday and click on "submit."
3. This tool does not allow you to specify your year of birth, so you will be shown the image of the day for your birthday on a random year the system selects for you.

Hey You! Want more of YourTango's best articles, seriously addictive horoscopes and top expert advice? Sign up to get our free daily newsletter!
Unfortunately, as mentioned above, photos have only archived since June 16, 1995.
So if youre any older than about 26, youll have to settle for looking at pictures taken on your birthday and not your actual date of birth.
Of course, its also fun to look up your kids and friends birthdays, anniversaries, and other special dates.
Have fun!
