South Korea’s first lunar mission took off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station last Thursday. Its lunar orbiter, Danuri, which means “enjoy the moon” was launched aboard a SpaceX rocket. Although its arrival on the moon will take longer than other past lunar missions, which typically took days, it will require minimal fuel. Developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), Danuri weighs 1,500 pounds, and it is expected to enter the moon’s orbit in December to start a yearlong observation mission where it will search for possible landing sites for future missions, conduct scientific research of the lunar environment and test space internet technology. This is one more step in the South Korean space program towards sending a probe to the moon by 2030.

As someone who speaks five, I have to admit that learning a language hasn’t always been a source of joy. Studying all that new grammar and vocabulary can be tiring and frustrating. But it can also be incredibly rewarding and fun. What’s more, speaking a new language can make you happier. This is why. It’s a time dedicated only to yourself
When you’re studying a new language, there’s so much happening there, that there’s no time for anything else. Over the span of an hour or two, external factors or worries will be out the window, as you focus completely on that task. A form of mindfulness, if you will. These moments of pure joy are key to enhancing your mental acuteness and your happiness.

Upon analyzing 17 previous studies on the subject of depression, scientists have concluded that there might be no link between depression and lower levels of serotonin in the brain. The authors of the review also said that these findings could refute not only theories connecting depression to a chemical imbalance but also the effectiveness of prescribing antidepressants that target serotonin. Decades ago, the serotonin hypothesis proposed that depression and a chemical imbalance in the brain—including a deficiency of serotonin—could be closely related. Therefore, the most commonly prescribed antidepressants are those formulated to make serotonin more available in the brain by blocking its reabsorption into the neurons. These are the antidepressants known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes held meetings with Manchester United at Carrington over the last week to discuss his desire to leave the team to play in the Champions League. However, his position remains unchanged as United does not want him to go. Cristiano Ronaldo was not happy with United’s performance during the last season. They came out in sixth place in the Premier League and could not qualify for the UEFA Champions League, which meant Ronaldo had to be content with playing in the Europa League. This was one of the main reasons the forward superstar wished to leave the team.

Solar energy is among the cleanest forms of electricity generation. There is 0% of harmful emissions released when solar panels transform sunlight into electricity.
