Beijing - China has successfully launched its first solar observatory, nicknamed Kuafu-1, after a giant in Chinese mythology who wished to capture and tame the Sun, the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) informs.
The launch was carried out on Sunday, at 7.43 a.m. local time (23:43 GMT on Saturday), from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China, using the Long March-2D carrier rocket, CASC said.
Kuafu-1, or the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S), entered its planned orbit successfully, according to CASC.
Kuafu-1 will observe the Sun from an orbit 720 kilometers (447 miles) above Earth’s surface and will help study how the Sun’s magnetic field creates its energetic emissions. The mission is expected to last four years.
The satellite was launched atop a Long March-2D carrier rocket from northwest China's Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 7:43 a.m. Beijing Time and has entered the designated orbit.
A space-borne observatory running at a sun-synchronous orbit is not hampered by the Earth's rotations, while an Earth-based telescope can see the sun only in the daytime.
"ASO-S is capable of probing the sun 24 hours daily for most of the year," said Gan Weiqun, the satellite's principal scientist from the Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). "Its longest daily time-out is no more than 18 minutes when briefly running through the shadow of Earth each day from May to August."
The solar probe, with a projected life of no less than four years, is designed to accumulate and transmit back some 500 gigabytes of data within a day, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of high-quality images.
"The onboard detectors take pictures every few seconds or minutes, and during solar eruptions, they can rapidly increase their shutter speed to only one second so as to capture solar activities with more details," said Huang Yu, associate chief designer of ASO-S science application system.
During its in-orbit operation, three ground stations in the cities of Sanya, Kashgar and Beijing, far apart from each other, will receive data from space, before sending them in packages over the next four years to a 2,048-core powerful computer mounted at the PMO for decoding.
ASO-S' study of solar physics
The probe, dubbed Kuafu-1, a sun seeker in ancient Chinese mythology, will operate in orbit 720 kilometers from Earth, permanently facing the sun.
Equipped with a trio of instruments, the 888-kilogram satellite will provide insight into the sun's magnetic field, the cause of solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
Solar flares and CMEs are two high-energy eruptions from the sun's atmosphere. While CMEs are relatively gentle expulsions of plasma and magnetic fields, solar flares produce bursts of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, reaching Earth in just over 8 minutes.
Both solar flares and CMEs can affect Earth when they reach and interact with our planet's atmosphere. Therefore, studying them can help researchers forecast such eruptions with data from ASO-S, minimizing the potential interference with navigation systems or power grid disruptions, according to Gan.
The data will be collected from a set of tools loaded on the satellites, which include an All-Solar Vector Magnetic Imager, a Lyman Alpha Solar Telescope and a Solar Hard X-ray Imager.
"After the probe's initial commissioning phase, ASO-S's data will be open for anyone to access for free," said Li Hui, a researcher from the same academy and the chief scientific application systems engineer of the probe.
The ASO-S is set to cover the 2024 to 2025 peak of the solar cycle, which normally lasts 11 years.
"Today's launch will provide us the best window period for studying the sun," said Gan. "A four-year minimus life span of the probe can cover peak years; we can observe a lot of eruptions."
Siswa SD di Kabupaten Tasik terpaksa belajar di tenda darurat (Foto: Istimewa)
Kondisi bangunan sekolah yang hampir ambruk membuat puluhan siswa SD Banjarwangi, Desa Banjarwaringin, Kecamatan Salopa, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya terpaksa belajar di tenda darurat.
Kondisi panas akibat terik matahari serta becek saat hujan datang harus dirasakan para siswa. Di dalam tenda itu terdiri dari dua kelas. Sehingga mereka saling berhimpitan di dalam tenda.
Mengutip dari Harapanrakyat.com--jaringan Suara.com, kondisi ruangan kelas lain yang tersisa juga tidak jauh berbeda, total sebanyak 126 siswa belajar dalam kecemasan.
Meski masih layak, namun jika hujan deras siswa memilih belajar bergantian lantaran khawatir ambruk.
Dari informasi yang dihimpun, dua ruangan kelas 4 dan 5 masih rusak setelah ambruk tahun 2020 silam.
Selain atap sudah lapuk, beberapa kusen jendela juga sudah tidak tersisa. Sayangnya, bangunan belum kunjung mendapat perbaikan.
“Enggak nyaman belajar di tenda, suka ada becek, kadang banyak nyamuk. Saya rindu sekolah lagi di dalam kelas biar tidak bocor,” kata Muhammad Hafid salah seorang siswa.
Sementara itu, Suhendar salah seorang guru olahraga menjelaskan, kondisi sekolah atapnya dua kelas ambrol. Bahkan dindingnya pun sudah pada lapuk.
“Siswa belajar di tenda sudah berlangsung selama 4 bulan, namun yang belajar di tenda hanya sementara saja sambil menunggu sekolah ini dibangun,” terangnya.
Walaupun kondisinya mengkhawatirkan, Suhendar mengapresiasi siswanya karena terus menorehkan prestasi, terutama di tingkat kecamatan.
Soal pembangunan sekolah yang ambruk, kata Suhendar, pihaknya sudah berusaha mengajukan perbaikan ke dinas. Namun hingga saat ini belum ada kepastian pembangunannya.
“Tapi kalau menurut informasi katanya bakal ada pembangunannya tahun 2023. Kami harap Pemda maupun Pemprov serta pusat segera membangun kelas ini, apalagi ini demi keselamatan siswa,” ungkapnya.
Melupanya sungai Cibuyut membuat sejumlah pemukiman warga di Ciamis, Jawa Barat diterjang banjir. Banjir bahkan sampai masuk ke dalam dapur rumah warga (Tangkapan layar akun @andreli_48)
Banjir melanda kawasan Cihaurbeuti, Ciamis, Jawa Barat pada hari Jumat, 07/10/2022, yang diakibatkan oleh hujan lebat dengan intensitas tinggi sejak siang hari. Hujan tersebut berlansung cukup lama, bahkan hingga menjelang petang juga belum reda.
Hujan lebat tersebut membuat sungai Cibuyut yang merupakan anak sungai Citanduy meluap mengakibatkan banjir ke pemukiman dan mengakibatkan satu pengendara motor hilang terbawa hanyut.
Dalam kejadian ini empat dusun terdampak banjir bandang, yakni Dusun Desa Kaler, Dusun Desa Tengah, Dusun Baketrak, Dusun Jengkol Pandak. Banjir bandang yang menimpa empat dusun tersebut hingga masuk ke dalam rumah.
Kondisi banjir yang masuk ke dalam rumah itu sempat terekam video dan menjadi viral di media sosial yang diunggah oleh akun Instagram @andreli_48.
Dalam video singkat tersebut terlihat air bah seakan mengalir deras melalui celah-celah jendela dapur.
“Banjir masuk dapur.” tulis caption pada unggahan video tersebut.
Hal ini mengakibatkan perabotan rumah tangga menjadi rusak dan rumah bagian dalam tergenang oleh banjir.
Video terjangan arus sungai yang masuk ke dapur milik warga itu pun banyak mendapat komentar dari publik.
"Ngeri langsung cabut regulator gas dan segera matikan listrik," tulis salah satu netizen.
"Banjir dimana-mana... Cuaca memang lagi ekstrem," sambung akun lainnya.
Tak hanya itu, banjir yang melanda Cihaurbeuti Ciamis, Jawa Barat tersebut menelan korban jiwa yakni satu pengendara motor yang hilang hanyut dibawa oleh arus.
Menurut informasi warga sekitar saat kondisi hujan deras, saluran air tiba-tiba meluap hingga ke jalan raya.
Pada saat itu pengendara motor tersebut bersikeras untuk melewati jalan yang kebanjiran dari arah Cihaurbeuti menuju Panumbangan dan Rajapolah, Tasikmalaya.
Namun sayangnya pengendara tersebut tidak berhasil melintas hingga terbawa arus air yang cukup deras.
Sementara itu, camat Cihaurbeuti Eddy Yulianto menjelaskan bahwa selain pemukiman dan 1 pengendara yang hanyut, banjir juga menggenangi sawah warga. [
The 19 km bridge linking Crimea to the Krasnodar region via the Sea of Azov was struck by a massive explosion on Saturday, halting all road and rail traffic. A senior advisor to Ukraine’s president immediately boasted that the attack was just “the beginning,” with Moscow calling the comments proof of Ukrainian authorities’ “terrorist nature.”
The extraordinary attack on the Crimean Bridge takes the security crisis over Ukraine to a dangerous new level, with both sides likely to expand attacks against civilian infrastructure, political observers, journalists, and academics have told Sputnik.
US Trace
“Ukraine’s attack against the Crimean Bridge undoubtedly took place after getting a green light from the United States and using American weapons. The US side intends to further ramp up the degree of escalation of the conflict and military hostilities,” Iranian journalist and Russia expert Ruhollah Modaber says.
Modaber points out that the attack on the bridge came less than two days after President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the West to carry out a "preemptive," possibly nuclear attack against Russia, and shortly after Kiev’s "recognition" of Russia’s Kuril Islands as "occupied" Japanese territories.
“All this shows that the scenario developed for Zelensky by the White House has entered a new dangerous phase, and the Russian government will undoubtedly respond as it sees fit. But there is no doubt that Ukraine today, in accordance with the US plan, is serving as a springboard for expanding the area of large-scale strikes against Russia, and it is impossible to even predict where Ukrainian strikes may take place next,” the observer says.
Political analyst and former MEP Nick Griffin agrees that there is no question of US involvement in the attack on the bridge, but believes that there are important distinctions to be made between that attack and last month’s sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, for example.
“First, hitting the bridge was an act of war against Russia, while the target of the pipeline sabotage was primarily Germany. Second, the ISIS-style* suicide bomb on the bridge was a very different sort of violence to the highly sophisticated, state-level naval operation in the Baltic,” Griffin says. “Of course, the bridge attack would not have been conducted without CIA approval, but while they are part of the same war it is hard to see any direct connection.”
Both actions were aimed at public opinion, Griffin argues, with the Crimean Bridge bomb meant to anger Russians and push Moscow “into retaliation that can be used as fresh propaganda for increased intervention” by the West, while the sabotage of Nord Stream was meant to deprive Germans of the ability to pressure their government into turning the gas taps back on again in time to save the nation’s industrial base from disintegrating.
Escalation Guaranteed
Griffin believes the attack against the Crimean Bridge will make it “easier” for Moscow to target Ukrainian infrastructure – something the Russian military has so far generally avoided doing in a bid to limit civilian casualties and economic damage. “The Western public would see such a move as understandable retaliation,” he says.
“This contrasts with, for example, a strike on a NATO base in eastern Poland, which would be very ‘satisfying,’ but badly misjudged, sort of response that the Zelensky regime and its US deep state advisors surely hope to see,” the observer suggests.
Ma Youjun, lead expert at the Sino-Russian Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation research center at Heilongjiang University in Harbin, China, concurs that the attack on the bridge will likely escalate the crisis.
“Over the past six months, the emphasis has been on observable combat operations. In the future, the situation will most likely be more of a war with an emphasis on aspects such as logistics, infrastructure, and so on. This has already been manifested in the explosions targeting the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, and [now] the Crimean Bridge. Obviously, attacks on railway stations, bus stations, railways and roads are possible in the future. A war is being waged to destroy the enemy, and the goal is not limited to destroying his physical combat power,” Ma fears.
The scholar argues that as Western assistance to Kiev continues to increase, “its image as an indirect participant in their war becomes more distinct… Furthermore, Zelensky’s public rejection of negotiations with Russia is not a Ukrainian decision, but the decision of Western countries,” Ma stresses.
Tiberio Graziani, chairman of Vision & Global Trends – an Italy-based international affairs think tank, echoes the concerns expressed above, telling Sputnik he believes the attack on the bridge was “part of a complex plan” to escalate the confrontation between Kiev and Moscow, and “could mark a new phase” of further acts of terror on Russian soil.
Crimea Made Correct Choice
Unver Sel, head of the Federation of Crimean Tatar Communities of Turkey, recalls that the attack on the Crimean Bridge was preceded by repeated statements by Ukrainian officials and their allies on the need to target the $3.7 billion piece of Russian infrastructure. Saturday’s attack is proof that the people of Crimea made the right choice when they voted overwhelmingly in a referendum in March 2014 to split off from Ukraine and rejoin Russia after the February 2014 Euromaidan coup.
“After the Orange Revolution, Ukraine’s governments changed several times, but their methods did not change,” Sel says. “Using the same methods, they turn to terror and strike at civilian objects. The people of Crimea, who foresaw this situation in advance in 2014, did not become engaged in the civil war in Ukraine, but joined Russia after a popular vote. [The terror attack on the bridge] make clear how right they were. Because the Crimean Bridge connects the peninsula to the Russian mainland, it is used by the population, provides for the needs of the peninsula. This is a blow to the entire people of Crimea.”
Russia’s Response
Russia’s response to Saturday’s attack will depend on what the Kremlin’s plans are for resolving the security crisis, Nick Griffin says.
“If it has been decided that demilitarization and de-Nazification can only be achieved by complete occupation, then obviously the destruction of critical infrastructure creates an enormous future financial burden. Assuming the intention is only to liberate the Russian-speaking areas and a buffer zone – leaving a landlocked rump Ukraine to be a huge financial liability to its Western sponsors – then an extensive air campaign against its infrastructure would not only weaken Kiev’s war effort, but also pile on the financial agony for the Western powers who are underwriting Zelensky’s unwinnable war,” Griffin argues.
Russia’s current strategy – trading territory to inflict casualties on Ukrainian and NATO mercenary forces, may undermine popular support at home if it continues, and make “it easier for the insane warmongers in the West” to prepare Western public opinion for a false flag tactical nuclear attack, "carried out by US forces but blamed on Russia,” Griffin warns.
“This is a further reason for unleashing the full force of the Russian army immediately, and following up with the large-scale deployment of the recently called-up reservists the moment the training they are currently undergoing is complete…Liberating Odessa and linking up with Transnistria would be the best answer to Zelensky's turn to ISIS-style terror. It cannot be done next week, but it should be done by next spring,” the observer concludes.

It cannot be done next week, but it should be done by next spring,” the observer concludes.
For his part, Cairo University Professor of International Relations Nourhan el-Sheikh believes that President Zelensky deserves to be overthrown for the “recklessness” he has shown since the very beginning of the Ukrainian crisis, but that the West will continue to support him because hasn’t yet completed the role his sponsors have in mind for him.
“Zelensky is fighting using terrorist means and methods. We have already seen this terrorist mentality in the Donbass, and today in Kerch, and even in relation to the Ukrainians themselves, so the overthrow of the Zelensky regime is becoming a necessity not only to reach peace in Ukraine and the Donbass, but also to establish peace throughout the world, because at the moment events are moving in a direction which may already threaten international security,” el-Sheikh says.
Dragana Trifkovic, director of the Belgrade-based Centre for Geostrategic Studies, echoed other experts' sentiments about the turn to terror tactics by Kiev and its sponsors.
"It is very likely that Ukraine is involved in this case with the support of Western powers. If this is proven, it will be another confirmation of the fact that Ukraine as a state is officially carrying out terrorist actions, for which it has the support of the USA. The recent case of sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines along with the sabotage of the Crimean bridge leads us to think that terrorism has been adopted as a model of action by Western powers. If we exclude the danger of these moves and their possible influence on the further escalation of the conflict between NATO and Russia, it can be said that these are the moves of the desperate," the analyst says.

Hari Sabtu malam, 08/10/2022, di GOR Saparua Bandung Bobotoh Bandung dalam ikatan Viking Persib Club (VPC) bersama Jawa Barat Quick Response menginisiasi doa bersama ‘Dari Kami Untuk Malang’ mengumpulkan banyak kelompok suporter yang terdiri dari Bobotoh, The Jakmania, Bonek Mania, Aremania, Macz Man, dan Slemania.
Doa bersama dilakukan untuk ratusan korban meninggal dalam tragedi Kanjuruhan, Sabtu (1/10/2022) lalu, usai laga Arema FC vs Persebaya Surabaya dalam laga pekan ke-11 Liga 1 2022-2023.
Dipandu Ustad Muzammil Hasbalah dan Ustax Wahidin, para suporter beribadah berjamaah mulai dari shalat magrib, tahlil, shalat isya, dan shalat ghaib.
“Semua teman-teman punya ide yang sama antar sesama suporter. Kita ingin berdoa bersama atas apa yang terjadi di Kanjuruhan,” kata Ebiet Beat A selaku ketua pelaksana.
“Sampai akhirnya sama-sama kita laksanakan mengejar sepekan (tragedi) Kanjuruhan,” lanjutnya.
Pada kesempatan ini hadir pemain Persib Bandung Dedi Kusnandar dan pemain Persija Jakarta Tony Sucipto, Taufik Hidayat, serta Hanif Sjahbandi.
Shalat Ghaib Bersama para suporter untuk tragedi Kanjuruhan
Tony mengungkapkan bagaimana kesedihan langsung menghinggapinya saat pertama kali mendengar ratusan orang telah gugur dalam insiden di Malang.
“Kejadian kemarin yang kita rasakan sebagai pemain, jangankan pemain Persebaya yang main lawan Arema, kita saat latihan pun setelah kejadian itu rasanya tidak ingin main bola lagi,” cerita Tony, “Sampai kesitu kami pemain berpikir, kenapa sepakbola sampai ada kejadian seperti itu,”
Heru Joko salah satu tokoh Bobotoh menyebutkan bahwa dukanya Malang adalah dukanya Bobotoh, dukanya sepak bola Indonesia.
Ia menjadi teringat bagaimana keramahtamahan Aremania menyambut Bobotoh di Kanjuruhan saat Persib tandang ke Malang di Liga 1 2022-2023.
Ribuan Aremania saat itu dengan tangan terbuka mau berbagi tribun dengan suporter Persib yang sudah lama tak merasakan atmosfer di Kanjuruhan.
“Dukanya Malang dukanya Bobotoh, kami sangat sedih dengan kejadian kemarin di Kanjuruhan,” ungkap Heru.
“Saya melihat animo gimana orang malang sangat terbuka menyambut Bobotoh bahkan salah satu yang menyambut jadi korban, Mas Nawi. Beliau antusias atas kedatangan kami,” kata Heru.
“Yang pasti korban-korban di Malang adalah pahlawan suporter, jangan sia-siakan pengorbanan mereka, jadikan itu untuk kebersamaan dan kemajuan sepakbola Indonesia,” ucapnya.

Berlin - Cables vital for the rail network were intentionally cut in two places causing a near three-hour halt to all rail traffic in northern Germany on Saturday morning, in what authorities called an act of sabotage without identifying who might be responsible.
The federal police are investigating the incident, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said, adding the motive for it was unclear.
The disruption raised alarm bells after NATO and the European Union last month stressed the need to protect critical infrastructure after what they called acts of sabotage on the Nord Stream gas pipelines.
"It is clear that this was a targeted and malicious action," Transport Minister Volker Wissing told a news conference.
A security source said there were a variety of possible causes, ranging from cable theft - which is frequent - to a targeted attack.
Omid Nouripour, leader of the Greens party, which is part of Chancellor Olaf Scholz's federal coalition, said anyone who attacked the country's critical infrastructure would receive a "decisive response".
"We will not be intimidated," he wrote on Twitter.
CHAOS BEFORE ELECTION DAY
"Due to sabotage on cables that are indispensable for rail traffic, Deutsche Bahn had to stop rail traffic in the north this morning for nearly three hours," the state rail operator said in a statement.

"Due to sabotage on cables that are indispensable for rail traffic, Deutsche Bahn had to stop rail traffic in the north this morning for nearly three hours," the state rail operator said in a statement.
Deutsche Bahn (DB) had earlier blamed the network disruption on a technical problem with radio communications. Spiegel magazine said the communications system was down at around 6:40 a.m. (0440 GMT). At 11:06 a.m, DB tweeted that traffic had been restored, but warned of continued train cancellations and delays.
The disruption affected rail services through the states of Lower Saxony and Schlewsig-Holstein as well as the city states of Bremen and Hamburg, with a knock-on effect to international rail journeys to Denmark and the Netherlands.
They came the day before a state election in Lower Saxony where Scholz's Social Democrats are on track to retain power and the Greens are seen doubling their share of the vote, according to polls.
Queues rapidly built up at mainline stations including Berlin and Hanover as departure boards showed many services being delayed or canceled.
