Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose. We all know the story of the unfortunate Rudolph. The poor reindeer was bullied by his colleagues for his red nose, but was happily chosen by Santa to pull his sleigh. But why does he actually have a red nose? 


Scientists at the University of Brighton have examined Rudolph's red nose and published an 'airy' paper about their findings. Dr. Angelo Pernetta, an ecologist, wrote the treatise together with his students. Of course it is a joke, but for the participants it was also a great exercise. 



"In a previous study it was concluded that the nose of the reindeer is red due to the effort of pulling heavy weights, in combination with the external stress. The accompanying undercooling would provide a bright, red color. ", It sounds in the paper. "But we have reasons to believe that there is another explanation." 



For example, Rudolph's nose would not be a condition, but an innate characteristic. "The fact that its nose glows is very useful when flying in misty conditions, since it is the best visible color. This suggests that Rudolph was specifically chosen by Santa for his red nose. So this is bioluminescence - the emission of light through an organism - just like fireflies. " Now we know that. Now figuring out how Santa's reindeer can fly.

For the second time in history, scientists are transmitting communications to extraterrestrials.

Image
NASA scientists hope to communicate with extraterrestrials. They've drafted a message that they want to launch into space soon. That message is more than a simple 'hi, how are you?' The goal is to give the aliens as much knowledge about our civilization as possible. "The message incorporates basic mathematical and physical ideas to construct a universal means of communication, followed by information regarding the biochemical makeup of life on Earth," said Jonathan Jiang, the primary author. The so-called Beacon In The Galaxy (BITG) is written in binary code and concludes with a digital image of a man and a woman, as well as an invitation to reply. It's delivered from China's FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope), the world's largest radio telescope. This is only the second time a message like this has been sent into space. This happened for the first time in 1974. Not everyone, incidentally, is ecstatic. Experts are concerned th...
