La nave espacial Juno de la NASA capta una imagen de un rayo fantasmal en Júpiter

(CNN) — Una nave espacial de la NASA captó el inquietante resplandor de un relámpago en el interior de un remolino en Júpiter.El rayo verde se vio dentro de uno de los muchos vórtices que se agrupan cerca del polo norte de Júpiter.Los científicos siguen tratando de comprender muchas de las características de Júpiter —el mayor planeta de nuestro sistema solar—, entre ellas sus enormes tormentas y los rayos en el gigante gaseoso y cómo se producen.En la Tierra, los rayos se originan en las nubes de agua y la mayoría de las descargas se producen cerca de la línea del ecuador. Pero en Júpiter, los rayos surgen de nubes de amoníaco y agua, y se producen con mayor frecuencia cerca de los polos del planeta.La nave espacial Juno, que llegó por primera vez para observar Júpiter y sus lunas en 2016, captó el suceso durante su sobrevuelo cercano al gigante gaseoso número 31, el 30 de diciembre de 2020. La misión se encontraba a unas 19.900 millas (32.000 kilómetros) por encima de la cima de la...Argentina: liberan a detenidos durante protestas contra una reforma a la Constitución de Jujuy

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado will employ surveillance technology along the Interstate 70 express lanes in the mountains to monitor drivers who run afoul of the rules.The technology includes sensors, cameras and software, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation, which said Colorado will be the first to use it."These elements will work together to identify vehicles that are weaving in and out of the lane, using the lane when it's closed or driving an oversized vehicle in the lane," CDOT said in a release. Oversized vehicles include those with more than two axles or longer than 25 feet.The express lanes were designed to relieve congestion for high-country travelers on peak periods like holidays and weekends. The rest of the time, they are closed and operate as shoulders.

HOUSTON — Grant Hartwig’s decision to forego medical school has seemingly paid off. The right-hander was called up to the Mets from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and is set to make his major league debut this week against the Houston Astros.Syracuse Mets manager Dick Scott told Hartwig after the team returned from a series in Buffalo on Sunday. It was unexpected, but then again, Hartwig’s entire career has been a little unexpected.“Dick Scott told me right after we got off the bus yesterday,” Hartwig said Monday at Minute Maid Park before the Mets began a three-game series against the Houston Astros. “We came back from Buffalo last night and then found out around all of my teammates. It was a great experience got to call my parents afterwards.”When Hartwig was playing college baseball at Miami (Ohio), a professional career wasn’t on his radar. His focus was on a different kind of baseball career: Hartwig wanted to be an orthopedic surgeo...Kids, ‘drugs, sex toys,’ dead man in South Boston apartment: ‘Sickening’
