On the night of November 11, residents of Kazan witnessed the appearance of a bright luminous object in the sky, which left behind a noticeable “tail”.

According to astronomers, it could have been a small bolide or debris from an artificial satellite.

Yuri Nefediev, director of the Engelhardt Astronomical Observatory at Kazan University, said that according to the Space-Track catalog, three Chinese stages burned up in the atmosphere on November 10. One of them may have been seen in Kazan.

Bolids tend to be rarely observed in urban areas, as most meteoritic material burns up over the oceans. Every year about 500 thousand tons of meteorites enter the Earth's atmosphere, but it is not often possible to see their traces over populated areas.

Research has shown that performing several difficult tasks depletes the areas of the brain responsible for self-control and can lead to aggressive behavior.

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have used neuroimaging to study how the brain reacts to solving mathematical problems. It turned out that with high complexity of tasks, certain areas of the cerebral cortex are activated, which requires considerable effort and can cause fatigue.

When the brain is depleted, the ability to self-regulate decreases, which can lead to increased irritability and aggression.

Indiana Jones and Chewbacca had the same prototype - George Lucas' dog named Indiana. It was her face that served as a reference for the creation of the Wookiee race. Amusingly, the name Indiana also went to the main character of Indiana Jones, which is joked about in the movie itself.

Interestingly, Indiana originally had the last name Smith, but Spielberg didn't like it. So we ended up with an iconic archaeologist with a name inspired by Lucas' favorite pet!
