NASA Research Team Identifies Phosphate in Bennu Asteroid Samples: Possible Evidence of Ancient Ocean World

A rock sample from the asteroid ‘Bennu’, which is believed to have formed in the early solar system, was fully opened last month.

Ahead of the release of analysis results at a conference next month, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) research team announced that phosphate, a key component of life, was identified in Bennu’s samples and that Bennu is likely to be ‘a piece of an ancient marine world.’

According to the American aerospace media Space.com on the 6th (local time), a research team at the University of Arizona estimates that Bennu is a fragment of a water-rich planet that existed billions of years ago.

The research team reportedly confirmed a phosphoric acid crust that had never been observed before in asteroid samples. Some of the dark rocks were covered with a lighter-colored thin crust, and phosphorus in the form of phosphate was discovered in that area.

Phosphorus is an essential component of life and has also been confirmed on Enceladus, Saturn’s sixth satellite (moon). Enceladus has a surface covered with ice and is known to have a huge ocean underneath. The ocean of Enceladus is estimated to have a concentration of dissolved phosphate at least 100 times higher than that of Earth’s ocean.

“Our hypothesis is that Bennu was an ancient ocean world,” Dante Lauretta, principal investigator for asteroid Bennu at the University of Arizona, told New Scientist. “There were phosphate minerals containing calcium and magnesium.”

Researchers believe that this research will not simply examine the possibility of the existence of ‘life’ on Bennu, but will be a study that will delve into the origin of life from a larger perspective and unlock the secrets of the early solar system 4.5 billion years ago.

Meanwhile, NASA’s asteroid probe Osiris-Rex was launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Center in the United States in September 2016 and flew to the asteroid Bennu, about 320 million km away from Earth. About 250g of samples were collected from this place and dropped to Earth in September of last year, seven years later.

The probe Osiris-Rex’s Bennu sample repatriation mission to Earth was successfully completed. At the time, the probe launched samples to Earth and left to explore another planet, Aposis, without landing.

Lee Hyun-yi Shows Off Her ‘Entertainment Personality’ on Radio Star with Lee Ji-hye: What Happened to Lee Hyun-i?

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com December 20, 2023
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Lee Hyun-yi, who appeared on ‘Radio Star’, shows off her performance as a ‘entertainment personality’ with Lee Ji-hye in check. Meanwhile, Lee Ji-hye’s coveted natural beauty was revealed with an asymmetrical smile that was damaged, raising her curiosity as to what happened to Lee Hyun-i.

MBC’s ‘Radio Star’ (planned by Kang Young-seon, directed by Kim Myeong-yeop), which will be aired on the 20th, will feature ‘What do you do when you rest?’ with Lee Hye-young, Kang Soo-jeong, Lee Hyeon-i, and Ji Ye-eun appearing. It is featured as a special feature.

Model-turned-broadcaster Lee Hyeon-i appears on ‘Las’ for the second time. He said that he experienced the bitter taste of entertainment through the performances of Sayuri, DinDin, and Gree during his first appearance on ‘Las’ last year. He said, “There are many people who don’t even know that I appeared (on that show),” and in the second ‘Las’, he said, “I am a good friend” and MC Jang Do-yeon. I expected a reaction from . Jang Do-yeon posed with Lee Hyun-yi in a model pose that became a hot topic on the red carpet to show her support. Jang Do-yeon and Lee Hyun-i’s ‘9-length tall’ two-shot caused laughter.

Lee Hyun-i, who became a ‘soccer crazy person’ who would make Messi cry through the SBS entertainment show ‘Girls Who Hit Goals’, surprised everyone by revealing her hidden efforts to maintain her soccer skills. He is the second-year captain of ‘FC Gucheok Jangshin’, which is made up of models, and is said to have made people laugh by giving advice to his team members as captain, saying, “I called each person every day.”

Lee Hyeon-yi, a ‘reaction master’, also revealed the story of receiving a barrage of malicious comments due to the exaggerated reactions shown in ‘Kkokkomu (The Story of That Day when Biting Tails)’. She also burst into laughter when a two-shot of Kim Gook-jin and Yoo Se-yoon, who imitated Lee Hyun-i’s reaction as he gradually disappeared under the table, was captured. Surprisingly, Lee Hyun-yi’s reaction was not intentional, but was just everyday life, and the comment left by her husband in response to a malicious comment was revealed, causing her to laugh.

Lee Hyeon-i, a ‘Ewha University graduate’, revealed the reason why she went to meetings nine times a week, saying it was because of an assignment given by a professor she met in her first year of university. He lived in an oppressed dormitory until he was in high school, and he went out unconditionally without asking or considering the conditions of his meeting partner. As his drinking game skills improved, he became embroiled in rumors that he was a ‘pro gamer at Ewha Womans University,’ causing laughter. Her husband, whom she met at a 4-on-4 meeting and got married, also engaged in physical contact through the game. Kang Soo-jeong, who was next to him, was surprised and said, “He’s a player!” I wonder what game Lee Hyeon-i tried to play with her husband, who was making slow progress.

Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-i, who is acknowledged by Kim Gu-ra as a ‘tone-deaf’ person in the entertainment industry, attracted attention by revealing the story of her appearance on ‘King of Mask Singer’ as a ‘masked singer’. He said, “Six years ago, ‘King of Masked Singer’ cast me, and I even practiced with a vocal teacher a few times, but we lost contact and the filming was cancelled. That’s why I had a problem with appearing on the show.” Lee Hyeon-i received training from an expert for two months to fool Kim Gura on ‘King of Mask Singer’, which he later appeared on. It is said that everyone sympathized with the reason why Kim Gura was so easily deceived, which adds to the interest.

Lee Ji-hye, who appeared in a special feature on ‘Master Stargram’ last November, selected Lee Hyun-yi as a rival entertainment star and mentioned Lee Hyun-yi’s natural face without plastic surgery, but it was revealed that Lee Hyun-yi recently had an asymmetrical face due to a soccer injury. He confessed. She said he “needs to get Botox on the other side of her face” to get her face back to normal.

In addition, Lee Hyun-i recently appeared on Lee Ji-hye’s YouTube channel and received a warm response with a ’39+’ breastfeeding talk. Kang Su-jeong, who watched the video, said, “A lot of people brag about breast milk,” and called it a ‘fact violence.’ Rumor has it that it blew up and made people laugh.

Lee Hyun-i’s secret(?) trick of deceiving Kim Gura on ‘King of Mask Singer’ and her performance as a comedian can be seen on ‘Radio Star’, which airs today at 10:30 on the 20th.

“ISS ‘Space Tomato’ disappearance case closed after 8 months”

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) found the ‘space tomato’ lost on the International Space Station (ISS) eight months later.

According to Space.com, an American aerospace media outlet, on the 6th (local time), Jasmine Mogbeli said in a live broadcast for the 25th anniversary of the ISS that she found the remains of tomatoes harvested in space in March after 8 months, saying, “Our friend Frank Rubio (NASA) “The astronaut’s name has been cleared,” he said.

NASA is conducting tests to grow several crops on the ISS’ Vegetable Production System (Veggie). ‘VEG-05’, a test for growing squat tomatoes with a diameter of about 2.5 cm, harvested on March 29th, is also part of this experiment.

The goal of VEG-05, which succeeded in harvesting after a total planning period of 100 days, was to investigate how light quality affects crops, while also examining crop growth, nutrient composition, microbial food safety, taste, and psychological effects on ISS crew members. The purpose is to check the benefits, etc.

However, one of the tomatoes in Rubio’s assigned Ziplock bag was missing, and the flight attendants joked that Rubio ate it because he could not bear the hunger. “We searched the inside of the ISS for nearly 18 to 20 hours, but we couldn’t find it,” Rubio said. In fact, it is larger than a 6-room ISS house, and because it is an environment with almost no gravity (microgravity), it is very difficult to find if you miss something.

That’s how Rubio lost his tomatoes and returned to Earth last September. Two weeks after his return, he was asked if he had found the missing tomato, and he said, “On the ISS, where the humidity is only 17%, that tomato would have dried and shriveled.”

Fortunately, the tomato he ‘spent so long looking for’ was found, and other crew members remaining on the ISS reported the happy news that “someone found the tomato they had been looking for for so long.”

Meanwhile, Rubio is the American astronaut who has stayed in space the longest. On September 27, he landed in the Zezkazan region of Kazakhstan on a Soyuz spacecraft along with Russian cosmonauts Sergei Prokofiev and Dmitry Petelin.

Rubio was originally scheduled to return to Earth on a Soyuz spacecraft at the end of March this year, but in December of last year, an unidentified object hit the spacecraft and a coolant leak occurred, making it impossible to return to Earth as planned. Subsequently, the new manned capsule Soyuz M-23 successfully docked and was able to return to Earth in about a year.

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

‘I Live Alone’ Kian84 finally takes on the challenge of ‘house interior’. They invest an entire day into decorating their home, from hanging curtains to making furniture. Curiosity is rising about the results of Kian84’s self-interior design.

In MBC’s ‘I Live Alone’ (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee and Park Soo-bin), which will be aired on the 8th, the daily life of Gian84, who started interior design of Gian House himself, will be revealed.

While the ordered delivery boxes were lined up, Kian84 opened the curtain delivery. The first step in house interior design is to install blackout curtains. Two years after moving in, Kian84 has been living a ‘natural life’, waking up automatically when the sun rises without curtains.

Regarding the reason he decided to install blackout curtains, Kian84 said, “I was influenced by watching ‘I Live Alone.’” However, it is said that he regretted it as soon as he hung the assertive blue curtains, raising questions about what would have been the fate of the curtains.

Kian84 also revealed that after finishing the webtoon, he developed a hobby of collecting shoes. In line with this, he is drawing attention as he plans to make a shoe rack himself as a highlight of this self-interior design.

He also confesses the reason why he became so obsessed with shoes, saying, “I feel good when I look at (shoes).” In addition, the ‘affectionate shoes’ that are worn and repaired by sewing are also revealed. The special meaning behind the favorite shoes will also be revealed, making this broadcast a curiosity.

In addition, Kian84’s appearance with a toenail prolapse injury(?) is revealed. He raises curiosity by saying that he placed the fallen toenail on his toe, wrapped it with muscle tape, and recited a spell to hope that a new toenail would grow.

The scene of Kian84’s self-interior can be seen through ‘I Live Alone’, which will be broadcast at 11:10 pm on the 8th.

IMF “Korea’s economic growth rate will stop at 2.1-2.3% by 2028”… Call for structural reform

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com November 19, 2023

<연합뉴스>

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicted that Korea’s economic growth rate will remain in the low 2% range until 2028. He emphasized the importance of structural reform to revitalize long-term growth and strengthen productivity.

According to the ‘Korea Annual Consultation Report’ released by the IMF on the 19th (current time), Korea’s real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate increased by 0.8 percentage points (P) from 1.4% this year to 2.2% next year, then slightly decreased in the 2.1-2.3% range. It was expected to fluctuate.

The IMF predicts that the Korean economy will rise slightly to 2.3% in 2025, then slightly decrease to 2.2% in 2026-2027 and 2.1% in 2028.

However, China’s economic recovery, which has a significant impact on the Korean economy, is not reflected in this year’s and next year’s growth forecasts, so there is room for Korea’s growth forecasts to be adjusted upward in the future. Nevertheless, it is predicted that growth will remain in the low 2% range in the medium term.

Additionally, the IMF estimated Korea’s potential growth rate at 2.1% this year, 2.2% next year and 2025, and 2.1% between 2026 and 2028.

‘Potential growth rate’ refers to the maximum growth rate that can be achieved without causing a rise in prices (inflation) while mobilizing all production factors such as labor, capital, and resources in a country. The IMF predicted that Korea’s potential growth rate fell to 1.3% in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 and then rose to 1.9% in 2021, but is unlikely to achieve a significant rebound thereafter.

The real growth rate was 4.3% in 2021, exceeding the potential growth rate by 2.4 percentage points. However, last year, the actual growth rate was 2.6% and the potential growth rate was 2.0%, which decreased by 0.6%p. The IMF predicted that starting this year, it will not be easy to grow at the potential growth rate.

The IMF believed that it would be difficult for Korea’s economic growth rate to exceed the potential growth rate level of around 2%, but gave a relatively favorable outlook on inflation.

The inflation rate forecast for this year was revised upward by 0.2 percentage points from 3.4% to 3.6%, and the forecast for next year was revised upward by 0.1 percentage points from 2.3% to 2.4%. It is expected that the price stabilization target of 2% will be achieved at the end of next year and the price target will be maintained at 2% in the medium term from 2025 to 2028.

The IMF Executive Board emphasized the importance of structural reform to revitalize long-term growth and strengthen productive capacity. Citing Korea’s rapid aging as a risk factor, they suggested efforts to strengthen innovation drivers, increase labor market flexibility, and narrow the gender gap. They also called for strong reform of the pension system as it can place a huge burden on national finances.
