The iPhone 15 Pro Max is Apple’s first flagship to feature a 5x tetraprism telephoto lens. The company will eventually expand upon the maximum supported lossless zoom, with a rumor claiming that the technology giant will eventually switch to a 10x tetraprism lens. However, in doing so, the company is said to have excluded LG Innotek as one of its suppliers and replaced it with one Chinese firm.
Future Mars helicopters of NASA are being tested on two different planets for the first time ever
28.11.2023 - 09:02 / tech.hindustantimes.com
For the first time ever, NASA has tested its next generation of Mars helicopters in two different worlds. A new rotor for helicopters that will be used in future missions was tested recently at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, while real-life flight simulation was conducted on Mars through the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, which broke altitude and airspeed records during an experimental flight. The NASA team was surprised by the performance of the new Mars helicopter while conducting the test. Know the details.
According to a NASA report, the space agency created a Mars atmosphere on Earth with the help of JPL's 25-foot wide, 85-foot-tall space simulator where the Surveyor, Voyager, and Cassini were tested. The new rotor's blades were used for the testing which was 4 inches long, greater than the ingenuity Mars Helicopter. The test was monitored for three weeks in September, during which NASA monitored sensors, meters, and cameras of the blades at different high speeds and pitch angles.

Tyler Del Sesto, Sample Recovery Helicopter deputy test conductor at JPL said, “We spun our blades up to 3,500 rpm, which is 750 revolutions per minute faster than the Ingenuity blades have gone. These more efficient blades are now more than a hypothetical exercise. They are ready to fly.”

On the other hand, the ingenuity Mars Helicopter is exceeding expectations on Mars as the team conducts new flight tests. NASA's ingenuity helicopter was slated to conduct studies for 30 days, however, the mission has completed more than two years on Mars. The ingenuity teams have been testing new capabilities of the helicopter by increasing the maximum airspeed and altitude. These tests could help scientists to build a robust helicopter for future missions.
So far, the Mars helicopter has achieved 66 flights, and with the 61st flight, it achieved a new altitude record of 78.7 feet. Additionally, the team is also testing the helicopter's landing speed for slower landing. The team in December also plans to test Ingenuity's two high-speed flights with a special set of pitch-and-roll angles.

Two CMEs hit Earth, spark extra strong solar storm; NASA model shows more could be on the way
The solar activity on Earth has intensified. Yesterday, December 1, it was reported that a second coronal mass ejection (CME) was headed for the Earth which could turn the ongoing solar storm even more intense, and exactly that happened. A few hours earlier, the second CME made an impact and sparked an incredibly powerful G3-class solar storm. The storm resulted in some of the brightest aurora displays seen across the world. While it has begun subsiding slowly, a NASA model has shown that more CMEs are headed toward the Earth and might make contact with our magnetosphere before the end of the day.

OpenAI Director Adam D’Angelo, Who Helped Oust Sam Altman, Now Key Player in Startup's Future
Two days after Sam Altman reached an agreement with OpenAI to return as its chief executive, he spent part of his Thanksgiving with Adam D'Angelo, one of the company's board members who had fired him the week prior. Their hours-long meeting, which Altman called “really nice,” highlights D'Angelo's unique role in a corporate drama that has captivated Silicon Valley — and the importance of their relationship in restoring some stability at the world's best-known artificial intelligence startup. As part of the deal to bring Altman back, the board is set to be completely overhauled, with one exception: D'Angelo will stay on as a director.
