The galactic year, also known as a cosmic year, is the length of time needed for the Sun to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. One galactic year is 230 million Earth years. The Solar System is traveling at an average speed of 230 km/s (828,000 km/h) within its arc-like path around the galactic center, a speed at which an object could travel around the Earth's equator in 2 minutes and 54 seconds; that speed goes along with about 1/1300 of the speed of light. The galactic year provides a conveniently usable unit for showing cosmic and geological time periods together. Very differently, a "billion-year" scale does not allow for useful difference between geologic events, and a "million-year" scale needs some rather large numbers.

Turanism (Turkish Turancılık) is a ideology that assumes a common origin of the Turkic, Finno-Ugrian, Mongolian and Manchu-Tungusic peoples.
Turkic mythology reflects the wide variety of different religions that the Turkic peoples practiced throughout their history. It is mainly influenced by Tengrism, the old Turkish faith.  Important elements of Turkic mythology include heroic rulers; the sacred wolf; the levels of the underworld and the upper world, in which various overpowering beings exist; giants; monsters; and the sacred numbers 3, 7, 9 and 40. Legends. Asena. The story of the she-wolf Asena is the oldest known legend of Turkish mythology. Its oldest version dates back to 330 BC.  It is the tragic story of the Tue'kue people, who are all killed in an enemy attack - except for one badly injured little boy. The boy survives in a bog with severed hands and feet. The she-wolf Asena finds the boy, nurses him, and thus ensures the continued existence of the colony.  The wolf in Turkic mythology. The wolf plays a more important role in ancient Turkic mythology than any other animal. It is the Turks' holiest and highest totem animal, one they considered an ancestor. Many sagas and myths use the wolf as a symbol. The original legend of the ancestral wolf developed among the Hsiung-nu (or Huns) at a very early date. The first two wolf-as-ancestor stories told of a she-wolf nursing a foundling with a raven circling overhead. Shiratori writes that the legend already seemed well developed in pre-Christian times, among the Wu sun of the Išíq Qul and the Ili. These people are Indo-Europeans or Proto-Turks.  Formation of Land. In another Turkik legend, the god Kaira Khan creates land. He commands man to dive into the water and fetch sand from the bottom.  But Man is insidious and ungrateful. He suspects that Kaira will use the sand to create land. Each time Man fetches sand, he hides some inside his mouth in order to create his own country. He follows the god's renewed command and scatters the sand on the water. Islands appear that grow rapidly into land. But the sand in Man
The Sculptor Group is a loose group of galaxies. It is visible near the south galactic pole. The group is one of the nearest groups of galaxies to the Local Group; the distance to the center of the Sculptor Group from the Milky Way is about 12.7 million light years. The Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253) and a few other galaxies form a gravitationally-bound core in the center of this group. A few other galaxies at the edges may be connected with the group but may not be gravitationally bound. Because most of the galaxies in this group are actually weakly gravitationally bound, the group may also be described as a filament. It is believed to be at an early stage of evolution in which galaxies are still falling into the group along filamentary structures.
The Astrakhan Tatars (Tatar: Əsterxan tatarları, Әsterhan tatarlary) are a Muslim Tatars population of about 80,000 people in the Astrakhan Oblast, Russia. They are descended from the nomadic Kypchaks, Volga Bulgarians and Khazars. After the breakup of the Golden Horde, they founded the Khanate of Astrakhan (1459-1556) on the Lower Volga. The related Nogai also lived here, by whom they were strongly influenced. The Volga Bulgarians also had trading settlements in the area, and the so-called Agryzjan Tatars, were the Muslim descendants of 51 Indian Hindu traders from India, who settled in Astrakhan in 1649 and married local Muslim Astrakhan Tatar women.  The families lived in the Agryzjan suburb in Astrakhan and the descendants were named after this suburb.  Since the 17th century there was an increasing influence of the also Muslim Volga Tatars, who lived in the middle course of the river. During the Soviet period, the Astrakhan Tatars were counted among the Volga Tatars. In the 2010 census, most simply listed themselves as "Tatars". A large number of Volga Tatars also live in the oblast, and the differences between them are gradually disappearing. Astrakhan Tatar is a mixed dialect. Around 43,000 speakers have assimilated to the much more widely spoken Kazan Tatar language.

The Earth's radius (represented as "R"🜨 or formula_1) is the distance from the center of Earth to a point on or near its surface.  Length. Earth is shaped like a slightly flattened ball (an oblate spheroid). Because it is not perfectly round, Earth's radius varies.  At the Equator, Earth's radius (called the equatorial radius) measures about 6,378 km (3,963 miles). At the North and South Poles, the planet's radius (called the polar radius) is slightly shorter: around 6,357 km (3,950 miles). The global average has been estimated at .  Definitions. Earth's radius can also be defined and measured using the radius of curvature. This calculation considers land and sea topography. As a result, it can produce a different result than measurement of the equatorial or polar radiuses. "Earth radius" is sometimes used as a unit of measurement in astronomy and geophysics. The International Astronomical Union recommends that "Earth radius" should equal the planet's equatorial radius.

The white-striped tree frog ("Zhangixalus hui") is a frog. It lives in China and Vietnam. People have seen it between 600 and 2100 meters above sea level. Scientists used to think this was the same species as "Rhacophorus dugritei", but they changed their minds in 2008. People have seen this frog in forests near wet places and bodies of water and paddies. The female frog makes a nest out of foam and lays her eggs in holes near water. People have seen it between 3050 and 3350 meters above sea level. Scientists say this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in a large place. Human beings cut down forests and build things for visitors. Scientists think climate change could also hurt this frog because it causes dry times and floods.

Granula was the first commercial breakfast cereal. It was invented by James Caleb in 1863. It is mostly made of bran-rich gram flour, which was formed into nugget shapes and baked until it was crispy. Granula was marketed as healthy. It was intended to be eaten with milk or cream. History. James Caleb, a Seventh-day Adventist, owned the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York. It specialided in hydrotherapy and vegetarianism. He created Granula as a healthy food for his patients, who had to follow a vegetarian diet. Jackson believed that a diet of whole grains and vegetables was the key to good health and longevity. In 1863, Jackson created Granula by baking gram flour into nuggets, which were then broken into smaller pieces. The cereal was really hard and required soaking in milk or cream before it could be eaten. Jackson marketed Granula as a healthy food, claiming that it was nutritious and easily digestible. Granula was popular and was sold through mail order catalogs and health food stores. It was not popular for a long time because of its hard texture and the fact that it required soaking before it could be eaten. In 1877, a similar cereal called Grape-Nuts was introduced. That was made from wheat and barley flour and had a less hard texture. Grape-Nuts quickly became more popular than Granula. Legacy. Granula led to the development of the modern breakfast cereal industry. It inspired other inventors to create new and more palatable cereal products, such as Kellogg's Corn Flakes and Quaker Oats. Today, the term "granola" is used to describe a range of breakfast cereals that are typically made from rolled oats, nuts, and dried fruit. These cereals are often sweetened with honey or sugar and are popular with health-conscious consumers.
iOS jailbreaking is the process of removing the software restrictions imposed by Apple on its iOS operating system. This allows users to gain root access to their iOS devices, to modify the device's software and install apps from sources outside of the Apple App Store. Jailbreaking dates back to the early days of the iPhone. History. Jailbreaking first became popular in 2007 with the release of the original iPhone. The first jailbreaking tool was developed by a group of hackers known as the iPhone Dev Team. The tool allowed users to modify their iPhones, install third-party applications, and customize the appearance of the user interface. Over the years, jailbreaking became more mainstream. A thriving community of developers and enthusiasts emerged. Many of the early jailbreaking tools were based on exploits found in iOS, which allowed users to bypass Apple's security measures. In 2010, the US government made it legal to jailbreak an iPhone, saying that jailbreaking did not violate copyright laws. This helped to further legitimize jailbreaking and brought it into the mainstream. Jailbreaking Today. Jailbreaking is still popular among iOS users, although it has become less common. This is partly due to the increased security measures implemented by Apple in recent versions of iOS. Jailbreaking can void the device's warranty. It potentially leaves the device vulnerable to security threats. There are still many jailbreaking tools and communities available for those interested in modifying their iOS devices. They develop new tweaks, apps, and tools to enhance the functionality and customization of iOS devices.
IRAS 05280–6910 (also known as LMC 582) is a red supergiant star or OH/IR supergiant star. It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and it is also the most reddened object in the Large Magellanic Cloud, far more than the redness that the famous red supergiant WOH G64 emits. Its radius is 1,367 to 1,736 times that of the Sun, making it one of the largest stars found so far. If it was placed at the center of the Solar System, its photosphere would reach and eat the orbit of Jupiter. It is estimated that the star loses (Solar mass) per year, this mass loss rate is the highest known for any red supergiant star.
