NASA will release the first full-color images from the James Webb Space Telescope, revealing the deepest mysteries of the universe

NASA has released a recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) photo of the Hercules galaxy as a “preview” of the observatory’s first full-color image on July 12, and it looks gorgeous.

In addition, officials have given a list of the first showings, an international team of scientists from NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the Maryland Space Telescope Science Institute (which manages the observatory). selected by the committee.

The group’s leaders promise the images will reveal “unprecedented” detailed human observations of some of the deepest areas of the universe.

IT House learned that this photo was taken by the “Fine Guide Star Sensor” (FGS) and a near-infrared camera mounted on the telescope, with a cumulative exposure time of 32 hours. The sharpest and most distant infrared deep space cosmic image ever obtained.

The main purpose of the FGS is an instrument that allows the telescope to be pointed precisely. Essentially, it helps Webb aim its target and keep it in orbit. NASA called the FGS observations of stars and galaxies “a tantalizing glimpse into what the telescope’s science instruments will reveal in the weeks, months and years to come.”

Popular Science: The James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to NASA’s Hubble, launched on December 25, 2021, on a mission to study the oldest stars and take an “unprecedented” look into the universe’s past.

Webb is currently at Lagrange Point 2 (L2), its observation site, which is nearly 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) away. It is the largest and most powerful space telescope ever launched by humans.

The first list of full-color images from the James Webb Space Telescope includes:

Carina Nebula: One of the brightest nebulae in the sky, simply a cloud of gas and dust, located near the constellation Keel in the southern part of Carina, about 7,600 light-years from Earth. The Carina Nebula is home to the famous “Pillars of Doom” (slender finger-like structures of cosmic gas and dust).

WASP-96 b: This is a huge, extremely hot exoplanet, the first known planet to have a completely cloudless atmosphere, WASP-96 b is also the first discovered by scientists to have a super-intense sodium Elemental character of planets. The planet’s mass is quite similar to that of Saturn, so the researchers classified it as a “hot Saturn.”

The Orion Nebula: A cloud of expanding gas surrounding a dying star, known to astronomers as the Southern Ring Nebula or the Eight-Burst Nebula (Eight-Burst Nebula), about 2,000 light-years from Earth.

Stephen’s Quintet: This is a group of galaxies about 280 million light-years from Earth, where member galaxies collide with each other, shining brightly for millions of years. Located in the constellation Pegasus, this compact group of galaxies consists of five galaxies, four of which are tightly bound together and are expected to merge with each other.

SMACS J0723.3-7327: No further information was found. Officials say that the James Webb Space Telescope will use gravitational lensing to magnify and “bend” light from nearby galaxies to obtain such extremely distant and faint galaxies deep field view.

Google plans to spin off, restructure advertising business to fight U.S. antitrust lawsuit

In order to avoid potential antitrust lawsuits for its advertising business, Google has submitted a proposal to the U.S. Justice Department to break up its ad auctions and sales of ads on its own website, but they still belong to parent company Alphabet, the sources said. But some analysts said the US government will not accept this plan.

Google proposed this plan to avoid US antitrust investigation, analysis said it may be rejected

On Friday local time, Paul Gallant, an analyst at Cowen Washington Research Group, said in an investment report that he did not think the U.S. government would accept Google’s proposal,” said Jonathan Kanter, head of antitrust affairs at the Justice Department. Jonathan Kanter) has made it clear that even if Google splits its advertising business into two business units, it has little interest in a settlement.”

Google has said it has no intention of selling or exiting the advertising business, which is highly competitive.

Recently, Google has also faced an antitrust investigation in the United Kingdom. The investigation will revolve around a series of advertising technology services adopted by Google. The United Kingdom said that Google may have distorted competition and illegally favored its own services. At present, many countries and regions have conducted investigations and lawsuits on whether Google advertising is suspected of monopoly.

NavInfo: Won the double crown of domestic automotive SoC and MCU, and has obtained more production capacity from TSMC

The first extraordinary general meeting of Beijing NavInfo Technology Co., Ltd. in 2022 was held in Beijing. At the meeting, Cheng Peng, general manager of NavInfo, said, “Automakers come to us every day, asking us to distribute goods to them, but now Not enough”, although consumer electronics demand has declined, TSMC has given NavInfo more wafer capacity, but it can still only meet one-tenth of its demand.

NavInfo: Won the double crown of domestic automotive SoC and MCU, and has obtained more production capacity from TSMC

The strategic transformation of smart travel has achieved initial results, and a large number of new energy vehicle orders have been obtained
At present, automobiles are developing in the direction of electrification, networking, intelligence and sharing. NavInfo closely follows the development trend of automotive intelligence, and actively promotes the evolution and upgrading of traditional businesses to new service models, forming a business system of Zhiyun, Zhijia, Zhicai, and Zhixin, and initially completing the strategic transformation to an intelligent travel technology company.

Cheng Peng pointed out that in 2021, NavInfo’s new smart travel strategy transformation will show initial results, and the second growth curve will begin to rise. It is understood that NavInfo’s new operating income in 2021 will reach 3.060 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 42.48%, a new high since its listing, and its net profit will increase by 139.45% year-on-year. The performance inflection point has been established.

Affected by the domestic epidemic in the first half of 2022, many auto factories were forced to suspend production and production, and auto sales in the second quarter declined; It also affects car production. Cheng Peng said that the auto industry has been affected by the epidemic in the short term, but NavInfo’s customers are mainly BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen and other international brands, with strong ability to withstand pressure. The cloud, smart driving, smart cabin, and smart core businesses are not particularly affected.

This year, the new energy vehicle market has shown a rapid growth trend. According to data released by the Ministry of Public Security, as of the end of June, the number of new energy vehicles in the country reached 10.01 million, accounting for 3.23% of the total number of vehicles. Among them, the number of pure electric vehicles is 8.104 million, accounting for 80.93% of the total number of new energy vehicles. Cheng Peng pointed out that NavInfo has always put its research and development focus on the field of new energy vehicles. The unexpected development of the new energy vehicle market this year has also caused the company’s sales force to quickly shift and obtain some orders for new energy vehicles.

Cheng Peng further pointed out that there were few ADAS orders last year, and this year’s ADAS demand has surged, which is an excellent opportunity for the company to seize the share of new energy vehicles. Since NavInfo has made adequate preparations in the past few years, it has grabbed a lot of market share. Due to the high cost of ADAS solutions of foreign manufacturers and limited resources, they may not be able to supply some new demanders, and there are few domestic manufacturers with better ADAS technology, so NavInfo can obtain some orders.

However, NavInfo is not satisfied with this, and has more ambitious goals. Cheng Peng said that NavInfo’s revenue target is to quickly reach a scale of tens of billions of yuan from several billion yuan. If it is not affected by the epidemic, it may follow the company’s original plan.

The smart core business is at the leading level in China, and won the double crown of domestic automotive SoC and MCU
Zhixin is a highly anticipated business among NavInfo’s four major businesses. It is understood that the smart chip business mainly refers to the design, research and development, production and sales of automotive electronic chips for the use scenarios and mass production needs of the automotive body control domain, intelligent driving domain, intelligent cockpit domain, chassis domain, power domain, etc. Integrated and software-hardware integrated system solutions.

It is understood that automotive semiconductors are mainly divided into SoC, MCU, power semiconductors, sensor chips, memory chips, etc. At present, NavInfo has been involved in the field of automotive chips such as smart cockpit chips (SoC), automotive-grade microcontroller chips (MCU), tire pressure monitoring chips (TPMS), and automotive audio power devices (AMP).

Among them, NavInfo’s smart cockpit chip AC8015 has been installed and shipped in mass-produced models of many customers. It is expected that the shipment volume will exceed the target of one million by the end of 2022. Cheng Peng revealed that the AC8015 exceeded their expectations. It was successfully lit up and mass-produced for the first time. With its cost-effective advantage, it squeezed out NXP and Renesas and won many orders.

NavInfo is also promoting the research and development of the second-generation high-performance smart cockpit chip AC8025. Cheng Peng said that the AC8025 has just been designed and is expected to be put into production next year and mass-produced in 2024. The chip can support some of the functions of L2.

“SoC is complex enough and is the cornerstone of incubating other businesses. If SoC can be done well, we can spin off some people to make MCU.” Cheng Peng said. NavInfo’s first MCU chip 7840 that meets the requirements of automotive-grade functional safety will be lit in advance in Q1 of 2022, and will further expand the application of domestic MCUs in the field of automotive electronics in the future.

So far, NavInfo has made remarkable achievements in smart cockpit chips (SoC) and automotive-grade microcontroller chips (MCU). Cheng Peng said that these two chips are currently at the leading level in China and have become the champions of this segment.

But now there is still supply and demand for automotive semiconductors. Cheng Peng pointed out that NavInfo doesn’t care about the price increase of wafer foundries. If the foundry can give more capacity, they can get more revenue and profits from it, because automotive Chips are high-margin products.

When will the shortage of automotive semiconductors be relieved? Cheng Peng believes that automotive semiconductors will not be relieved until at least 2023, because automotive chips have high reliability and stability requirements, small quantities and many categories, and many manufacturers are reluctant to make efforts to do it.

Musk says he will abandon acquisition of Twitter

According to Bloomberg, Musk said his advisers sent a letter to Twitter on Friday formally informing it that he was terminating the acquisition agreement because the social media company had failed to provide information about the fake accounts.

Musk said the company had not “complied with its contractual obligations.” In response, the Twitter chairman responded: We will see you in court.

Musk says he will abandon acquisition of Twitter

Twitter US stocks fell 7% after the market and are now down about 5.49%.

IT House learned that Musk made an offer of $54.20 per share for the acquisition in April, for a total price of $44 billion. Shares of Twitter are down about 7 percent so far, with a market value of about $28.129 billion.

Twitter Chairman Brett Taylor said the board plans to take legal action to enforce the merger agreement.

Musk says he will abandon acquisition of Twitter

In a filing, Musk’s lawyers said Twitter’s failure or refusal to respond to repeated requests for information about false or spam accounts on the platform was critical to the company’s business performance.

“Twitter has seriously violated multiple terms of the agreement by appearing to make the false and misleading statements that Mr. Musk relied on in entering into the merger agreement,” the filing said.

The world’s richest man bought Twitter for $44 billion in April, but has since suspended acquisitions unless the company can produce evidence that spam bots account for less than 5 percent of the share.

It is worth mentioning that the terms of the deal are clear: Musk will have to pay a fee of $1 billion in the event that the transaction cannot be completed. It remains to be seen how the decision could lead to a protracted legal battle between Musk and the 16-year-old San Francisco company.

Samsung ranks first in the world in smartphone shipments in the first quarter, but only Apple is growing, followed by Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo

The Bankless Times recently published an analysis that gave some smartphone shipment data among major players in the first quarter of this year, including the company’s exploration of different vendors and global market share of shipments.

It is said that Samsung Electronics supplied 73.6 million smartphones in the first quarter of 2022, with a global market share of 23.4%; while the second-placed Apple shipped 56 million units globally, with a market share of 18%.

Judging from the actual data in the report, compared to the same period last year, Apple’s sales increased by 2.2% year-on-year, and Apple is also the only manufacturer to achieve positive growth.

Meanwhile, Xiaomi came in third with a 12.7% market share (39.9 million units shipped), followed by OPPO and vivo with 27.4 million units (8.7%) and 25.3 million (8.1%). The report further states that Xiaomi’s market share fell by 18% year-on-year, while OPPO and vivo also saw a significant drop in market share (year-on-year), down 27% and 28%, respectively.

In addition to the top five, other manufacturers shipped a total of 91.4 million units, accounting for 29.1% of the market share.

Organization: Samsung’s smartphone shipments in the first quarter were the first in the world, but only Apple was growing, followed by Xiaomi, OPPO, and vivo

According to data from International Data Corporation (IDC), global smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2022 fell by 8.9% year-on-year. This marked the third consecutive quarter of decline in smartphone market shipments and was about 3.5% below IDC’s February forecast.

Nabila Popal, research director at IDC, attributes the decline to current supply constraints on key phone parts. In addition, she said global inflation and economic uncertainty have dampened consumer demand and spending, especially in China. This, coupled with the uncertainty created by the Russia-Ukraine war, has forced OEMs to scale back their 2022 shipment plans.

Ryan Reith said that Samsung and Apple have handled supply chain challenges better than their rivals. This allows them to avoid the troughs experienced by other manufacturers. As such, he believes the drop in demand is only temporary and will pick up once the global economy stabilizes.
