Thought for the Day by Epicurus

Both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom: the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come
by Epicurus

Thought for the Day by Socrates

If I tell you that I would be disobeying the god and on that account it is impossible for me to keep quiet, you won’t be persuaded by me, taking it that I am ionizing. And if I tell you that it is the greatest good for a human being to have discussions every day about virtue and the other things you hear me talking about, examining myself and others, and that the unexamined life is not livable for a human being, you will be even less persuaded
by Socrates

Age of Empires Definitive Edition

It is a remastered version of the original Age of Empires game, which was released in 1997. It was developed by Forgotten Empires and published by Microsoft Studios.

Age of Empires Definitive Edition retains the core gameplay and mechanics of the original game while improving visuals and introducing some quality of life improvements. The game takes you on a journey through various historical periods, allowing you to build and manage civilizations from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.

This was my first PC game, Age of Empires Definitive Edition probably holds a special place in my gaming memories. It is important to note that the game was revolutionary for its time, as it introduced many players to the real-time strategy genre. It offered a compelling combination of resource management, base building and tactical combat.

The Definitive Edition brings significant graphical improvements, with updated visuals that bring the game into the modern era. New art assets, higher resolution, and improved animations make the game more visually engaging and immersive.

In terms of gameplay, Age of Empires Definitive Edition faithfully recreates the original experience while adding some quality of life improvements. The user interface has been refined, making it more intuitive and easier to navigate. Additionally, the game includes a new zoom feature that allows you to get a closer look at the action or zoom out for a wider view of the battlefield.

One possible downside to Age of Empires Definitive Edition is that it can feel somewhat dated compared to more modern real-time strategy games. The game mechanics and AI behavior may not be as advanced or complex as you would find in newer titles. However, this can also be seen as part of its charm and a reminder of the game's historical importance.

All in all, Age of Empires Definitive Edition is a fantastic option for nostalgic gamers who want to relive their first PC gaming experience. It offers the opportunity to revisit a classic game in a visually enhanced and more accessible form. If you have fond memories of playing Age of Empires as your first game and want to experience it with improved graphics and quality of life improvements, Age of Empires Definitive Edition is definitely worth considering.

Thought for the Day

Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.

By Socrates

Thought for the Day

Is it not also true that no physician, in so far as he is a physician, considers or enjoins what is for the physician's interest, but that all seek the good of their patients? For we have agreed that a physician strictly so-called, is a ruler of bodies, and not a maker of money, have we not.

Hope is the dream of a waking man.

The secret to happiness is freedom... And the secret to freedom is courage.
By Thucydide.

Thought of the day by Socrates

To fear death, my friends, is only to think ourselves wise, without being wise: for it is to think that we know what we do not know. For anything that men can tell, death may be the greatest good that can happen to them: but they fear it as if they knew quite well that it was the greatest of evils. And what is this but that shameful ignorance of thinking that we know what we do not know?

Observation Log for NGC 4036

Supermassive black hole M-87

I still cannot realize that the human being has been able to take the first picture of the event horizon of a black hole.

What I have been able to observe is that the media in different languages ​​refer to this photo as the photo of the black hole when in reality it is the event horizon, these are very different parts.

This image is the achievement of a great human and technical effort that spans the 5 continents. I am going to explain it to you.

First, all the news will have this acronym somewhere EHT, which is Event Horizon Telescope (known by its acronym in English, Event Horizon Telescope) The set of millimetre telescopes that currently form this network are: Alfonso Serrano Large Millimeter Telescope (GTM) from Mexico, Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) from Chile, South Pole Telescope (SPT) at the South Pole, Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) in Chile, James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in Hawaii, Submillimeter Array (SMA ) in Hawaii, the Submillimeter Telescope (SMT) in Arizona and the 30-m Millimeter Radio Astronomical Institute (IRAM) in Spain.

After this exploit, we can only wait for the next great photo or maybe a video that would be interesting.

The Whirlpool Galaxy M51

The Whirlpool Galaxy is one of the brightest galaxies in the sky, visible with simple binoculars. The spiral galaxy structure was observed for the first time in this galaxy, which is the dominant member of the group of galaxies M51.

Its accompanying galaxy, NGC 5195, was discovered in 1781 by Pierre Méchain. Sometimes the term M51 is used to refer to this pair of galaxies, in which case the galaxies are semi-perfect circles that must be called individual M51A (NGC 5194) and M51B (NGC 5195). This galaxy is less than 37 million light years from Earth, although some measurements reduce this figure to only 16 million light years.

On June 27, 2013, Wolfgang Kloehr, a German astronomer, discovered a type II supernova in this galaxy. Call SN2005cs reaching a magnitude of 13.5

These photos have been taken with 15 days of separation.
