Also... ums Zentrum der MIlchstraße kreisende Sterne haben relativistische Geschwindigkeiten bei großer Annäherung.
S2 erreicht um 3% Lichtgeschwindigkeit bei nur 17 Lichtstunden vom Zentrum Sgr A* (berichtet 2019 [1]).
Der extragalaktische S-Klasse Stern SO-6 erreicht überschlagsmäßig über 8% Lichtgeschwindigkeit (24k km/Sekunde) und ist vom Zentrum 0,35 Lichtstunden entfernt [2].
Praktische Auswirkungen vom Paper, wo das vorkommt [3]: erst einmal keine. Aber faszinierend ist das.
TIL: die größte Annäherung bei Sternen etc heißt "Periapsis", nicht wie das planetare Perihel.

Today I learned that the term #vaccine derives from the Latin word for #cow, reflecting the origins of #smallpox #vaccination.
In 1796, British physician Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the relatively mild cowpox virus conferred #immunity against the deadly smallpox virus. Cowpox served as a #natural vaccine until the modern smallpox vaccine emerged in the 20th century.

The Sociable weaver (Philetairus socius) is a species of bird in the weaver family found across #SouthAfrica, #Namibia and #Botswana. This species construct large compound community nests that resemble huts, complete with a sloping thatched-grass roof that sheds rain. These nests are the world’s largest and most populated tree houses, with some weighing up to a ton or more and measuring up to 20 feet wide and 10 feet tall.
Built around large and sturdy structures like acacia trees or sometimes even telephone poles, the nests provide shelter from direct sunshine, rain, drought, and cold. They are large enough to house over a hundred pairs of birds, consisting of several generations at a time. Each breeding pairs tends to its own compartment with its private entrance and line the interior with soft downy plant material. These entrances are packed closely together and when seen from below, the communal nest has a honeycomb appearance. These #birds are constantly making home improvements, adding new nesting chambers, and some nests have remained occupied for over a century!
The Emerald city represents green money surrounded by the red field the opiate of the poor to keep the masses sleeping. The lion is the marginalized people who have the power but fail to use it.
#til Auf einer meiner #Proxmox VM mit #Ubuntu ist mir der Speicherplatz vollgelaufen. Also die VM runtergefahren, die die Festplatte vergrößert und mit #GParted den neuen leeren Speicherplatz der Partition zugewiesen.
Allerdings habe ich mich gewundert, dass nach einem Neustart der VM immer noch zu wenig Speicherplatz in der VM angezeigt wurde und die neuen zusätzlichen 20 GB nicht angezeigt wurden.
Nach einer Recherche im Forum von Proxomox war mir dann klar warum. Ich musste noch mit sudo lvresize --extents +100%FREE --resizefs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv den neuen freien Speicherplatz der Partition zuweisen.
Jetzt läuft wieder alles so wie es soll. 👍
