Description:
On May 17, 1974, NASA launched the first Synchronous Meteorological Satellite, SMS-1.<br/><br/>This was the first satellite designed to monitor meteorological conditions from a geostationary orbit. This kind of orbit allowed it to stay above a fixed location as Earth rotates. One of the instruments on this spacecraft was a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer (VISSR), which provided high-quality cloudcover data 24 hours a day. It also carried a data collection and transmission system that allowed it to relay data from central weather facilities to smaller regional stations. Another device known as a space environmental monitor measured the charged particles in Earth’s radiation belts and the solar wind. The satellite was shaped like a cylinder and measured about 7.5 feet long, not including a 33-inch magnetometer that stuck out of one end. It launched from Cape Canaveral on a Delta rocket and remained operational for about 7 years. It was replaced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s new GOES satellite, which was almost identical.

He is studying for a master's degree at the Freshwater Fisheries Research Center of Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences. Yohana grew up on the shores of Lake Victoria, the second largest freshwater lake in the world, so he has been interested in fish since he was a child. <br/><br/>After graduating from university, he worked in Tanzania's fisheries sector.In fact, in addition to working for the government,Yohana has another dream: he wants to build two fish ponds and become a 'pond owner'. However, his late father wanted him to become a medical professor. How does Yohana choose between being a professor and being a pond master?<br/><br/>The documentary is narrated from the first-hand perspective of African students. Through real images, it reflects the stance of foreigners who know China, understand China, and are friendly to China.<br/>")

She watched an unknown Australian actor named Hugh Jackman go from a Hollywood unknown to a movie superstar. Two decades after Jackman’s Hollywood breakthrough role, Paquin reflected on filming X-Men with the then-unknown actor before film stardom and fame did not change him.<br/><br/>When Paquin joined the film as southern belle Rogue, she already had several hit movies and an Oscar win under her belt despite being a high school senior. Jackman, on the other hand, played Wolverine in the first X-Men movie, which was only his third feature film. Of course, his superstar moment almost didn’t happen because of doubts over Jackman's demeanor and physicality.")
