Recently, his efforts were rewarded when he won the title of Young Astronomy Photographer of
10、 the Year 2021 in the Royal Observatory Grecnwichs annual astrophotography contest. His winning entry, entitled Family Photo of the Solar System, shows seven of the eight planets lined up horizontally, with the sun on the left and moon on the right,both pictured larger in size than normal.“All famil
11、ies are unconventional, so I adored this fresh, gently playful concept around the solar system,” said the competition judge Sue Prichard while talking about Wangs picture. “A meaningful technically accomplished work from a rising star of astronomical photography.”It hasnt been easy taking pictures o
12、f outer space. For about half a year, Wang had to calculate the best time to shoot planets when theyre opposite the sun in Earths sky to get the brightest images. Whats more, be still needed to wait for clear weather to see better. For example, to capture a clear picture of Mercury, the planet close
13、st to the sun, which is often cited as the most difficult of the five brightest planets to see with the naked eve, Wang tried to shoot it three times in the early morning but failed. At sunset, he shot 10.000 frames of video and selected several thousand better frames to overlay, further refine them
14、 and form a more satisfactory picture. Sometimes Wang would be so absorbed in his observations that he wouldnt go downstairs to fetch a coat, even in the middle of winter. Other times, he stood for hours under the burning sun to get the perfect shot. To get an ideal shot, he often gets up at dawn, s

18、ts name from the nearby lake where lightning struck on Aug.15, causing a wildfire that burned for weeks. Fueled by drought and wind, its persistence dominated headlines for much of late summer and early fall in Minnesota. When the last flames were finally put out, the northern Minnesota fire had con
19、sumed nearly 27,000 acres, countless firefighting resources, and at its worst, the lives that some had built around nearby McDougal Lake. Vast areas of forest were left burned-out, with the black and bare remains of what were once massive pines. But, despite the destruction left behind, Mother Natur
20、e is set to a comeback. When organic matter is burned from the forest floor, seeds dropped by plants and trees begin to take hold, with the sprouting species emerging first. The trees above have died, which sends a chemical signal to the root system that is actually more expansive than just under th

Ten years ago, a fire ripped through 93,000 acres of Minnesota forest in and around the BWCAToday, that burnt areas rebirth is well underway. Here in the Pagami Creek wildfire scar, we have Jack Pine, Red Pine, Black Spruc
22、e, Aspen and paper birch-those are our main species, those are the ones that are growing quickly. Its 10 years on, and these trees are 10 to 15 feet tall in many areas, said Kyle Stover from the U.S. Forest Service. A wildfire kills most things in its path, but despite the flames and intense tempera
23、tures, rarely is everything reduced to ashes -and that plays a key role in a forests regeneration. Just one year after the fire, the survivors dominate the forest, and grasses replace the burnt ground. Wildflowers are abundant bushes and small trees have started to grow, and Jack Pine returned. So,

27、n related in a variety of ways. In fact, some scientists have gone so far as to suggest that medical practitioners should be wary of diagnosing depression without evidence of sleep complaints by the individual. According to a study from Harvard Health, as many as 75% of individuals with depression s

Issues with sleep due to depression can happen in various ways, including changes to sleep regulation processes or side effects of prescription me

Both depression and insomnia are common disorders that cause people some disturbance worldwide. When dealing with either of these issu
30、es, the person can have difficulty maintaining a good quality of life. Scientists estimate that 40% of Americans will struggle with insomnia at one point in their life, while an estimated 17.3 million U.S. adults will deal with the symptoms of a major depression episode at least once per year. But t
31、he good news is that treating one condition may improve symptoms of both. “You dont need to rush off to see a specialist; but there are other things we can do to take care of ourselves.” says Dr. Chisholm. “Physical exercise is very important for good sleep and protective against depression, as are
32、healthy eating habits and staying off alcohol. Make sure you stay active and go back to the things that interest you and give you pleasure. Opening up to a trusted friend about your struggles with insomnia or a depressed mood may also help. And sleeping pills should be taken only for a short time, i
