The JWST confirmed the existence of an Earth-size exoplanet at the border of the habitable zone.

The existence of an Earth-size exoplanet in a distant solar system is a remarkable thing. The new small rocky planet. Called LHS 475b orbits its sun only in two days. The LHS 475b's atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. 

And that means the temperature on that planet's dayside is hot. As you might guess the LHS 475 b orbits red dwarf star LHS 475. The surface temperature of this planet is 3312±157 K or about 3039 C. 

That means LHS 475 b is dead and unable to host life. But that exoplanet is one of the most incredible things that the JWST telescope found. The ability to see that kind of exoplanet is a big change. The problem is that most confirmed exoplanets are orbiting red dwarfs. So planets are orbiting those stars very close. And tidal forces lock them in one direction. Their dayside is very hot. 

"A flat line in a transmission spectrum, like this one, can be exciting – it can tell us a lot about the planet. Researchers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) to observe exoplanet LHS 475 b. As this spectrum shows, Webb did not observe a detectable quantity of any element or molecule. Common signatures in a hydrogen-dominated atmosphere, for example, would indicate a light, gaseous atmosphere. Those elements were not detected in LHS 475 b’s spectrum."

And there are massive monsoon winds around the planet. That means those winds will stabilize the temperature. Things like gravitation and red dwarfs activity are affecting the planet's ability to keep liquid water. Weak gravitation means that the water can be liquid for a longer distance than in heavy gravitation. 

The winds would be stronger in weak gravitation. So there could be deadly sandstorms in weak gravitational planets, but otherwise, water would be liquid at a longer distance. 

So those weak gravitational planets could form intelligent space civilizations even if they orbit red dwarfs. And if those civilizations exist those aliens would be thin. And they might have a big head. Big eyes are making it possible to see in low-light environments. 

They would not need strong muscles in weak gravitation. So that means they might be delicate even if they look like humans. But that is only one version of the cosmological way to think about the hypothetical alien race.

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with th

Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.

  Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.  Could a hypothetical Planet X tunnel all radiation?  The myth of Planet X still lives. Nobody ever saw that planet, and the thing that supports the theory of previously unknown large-size planets in Kuiper's belt are mysterious anomalies in Neptune's trajectory. The thing is that nothing else supports the theory of the existence of the "invisible planet". The size of the planet must be very big. And its gravitational field strong that it can affect Neptune's trajectory.  And the search for that mysterious planet is very long work. In some visions, the mysterious gravitational source is mentioned as the small black hole, but nobody understands why that black hole doesn't seem to interact.  In some other theories, Planet X is a glimpse of dark matter. And that thing makes it invisible. But there is one weakness. The dark matter object must have some kind of

Nanoparticles are excellent tools for medicine transporters.

"Researchers have developed a new therapy for pancreatic cancer involving nanoparticles that stimulate immune responses and improve drug delivery. This innovative method has led to significant tumor reduction in mice and holds potential for treating other cancers. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, New Nanoparticle Cancer Treatment Successfully Shrinks and Eliminates Pancreatic Tumors) Nanoparticles can carry medicines into wanted cells. The idea is that the same system that feeds those cells transports those nanoparticles into cells that need medicine. When a nanoparticle goes, into a cell, it releases the chemicals into the targeted cells. Because nanoparticles don't let medical molecules interact with a body that makes it possible to create new and more powerful cytostatics. Nanoparticles can transport things like ricin molecules into wanted cells.  Ricin is one of the most poisonous chemicals. That chemical is useful for next-generation cytostatics, if researche
