Lunar eclipse visible in Vietnam this week

According to Time and Date, a global website for time and time zones, sky gazers in the world’s most populated areas such as Eastern and Central Africa, Oceania, and Asia will be able to witness the penumbral lunar eclipse.

In Ho Chi Minh City, the penumbral lunar eclipse will start at 22:14 on Friday and reach its maximum at 0:22 the next day.

The event will end at 2:31 on Saturday.

A penumbral eclipse takes place when the moon moves into the lighter outer region of the earth’s shadow, which is called the penumbra, according to space.com.

This is an area in which the earth will cover part of the sun’s disk but not all of it. This means when the moon is within the penumbra, it receives less light from the sun and is dimmed.

During a penumbral lunar eclipse, sky spectators will see the moon darken but not completely disappear.

Who Is Anton Zeilinger – One Of The Three Nobel Winner Of Quantum Physics?

Image
Photo: Wikipedia Anton Zeilinger is a professor of physics at the University of Vienna and a Senior Scientist at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His research group has demonstrated a phenomenon called quantum teleportation, which makes it possible to move a quantum state from one particle to one at a distance. For Anders Irbäck, Chair of the Nobel Committee for Physics, “It has become increasingly clear that a new kind of quantum technology is emerging. We can see that the laureates’ work with entangled states is of great importance, even beyond the fundamental questions about the interpretation of quantum mechanics“. Together with Anton Zeilinger, John Clauser and Alain Aspect were also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2022 “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science“.

Giant calligraphy hat breaks record as largest in Vietnam

Image
The work has been done on the initiative of Dao Thi Cam Suong, a calligrapher from Can Tho. The giant conical hat is made up of a total of 540 smaller conical hats, with calligraphy written on top. Suong has spent 89 days writing the calligraphy and finding connections to produce the finished product. The words written on the giant hat include sightseeing spots in Can Tho, folk songs, proverbs, poems, and the names of various provinces and cities across the country. She shares that the purpose of her work is to honour the beauty of the fatherland through pieces of calligraphy. Indeed, the giant hat is created from 540 small conical hats which themselves represent the country’s 54 ethnic minority groups. The diametre of the giant hat spans for more than eight metres, with the length from the tip to the brim roughly four meters and the length from the tip of the cone to the ground roughly six metres. The work has 14 rows of conical ha...
