## <center>The era of neutrino astronomy</center>

<div class = "text-justify">For the first time, a neutrino from the depths of the cosmos was observed, originated from a black hole 4 billion light years away. The observation of the neutrino was accompanied by the detection of the telescopes, of light radiation coming from the same black hole. In this way it was possible to confirm that the origin of the neutrino was the black hole, but this observation is the first ever in which these two phenomena are recorded (emission of light and neutrinos), originated from the same cosmic phenomenon. The doors of multi-messenger-based astronomy based on neutrinos are open.

## <center>Rats damage coral reefs</center><br>
<div class="text-justify">It seems that the presence of rats in coastal areas can influence the life of corals in nearby ocean. The corals, to live, exploit also the nutrients coming from the coasts. These substances are mainly contained in plants, which, once dead, are transported into the sea by atmospheric phenomena. According to the researchers, the presence of rats decreases this inflow of nutrients, thus causing a lack of food for the corals.

## <center>Hypothalamus and hunger</center><br>
<div class="text-justify">It seems that a group of neurons located in the hypothalamus has a fundamental role in controlling the sense of hunger. The discovery was made by a group of researchers, who initially noted that, in subjects presenting trauma and damage to the hypothalamus, the sense of hunger is altered. The scientists then increased or decreased the brain activity of these neurons, finding that when the neurons were more active, the sense of hunger increased.

Which one is responsible for our problems? And above all... Can we really consider them only as “bad guys”? @kingabesh tries to clarify the situation.</div>

<div class="text-justify">Certainly it is not a secret: in the last years social networks have conquered huge sections of the population, and few people are still able to live without them. It is not even a secret that social networks bring with them positives and negatives aspects... And, because of this, it is important to know them thoroughly and adequately, reflecting on this phenomenon and wondering what are the signs that we should "listen" to realize that we are going further.</div>

## <center>L’era dell’astronomia a neutrini</center>
<center>https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fc/Icecube-architecture-diagram2009.PNG<sub>Imagine CC0 Creative Commons - [Source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Icecube-architecture-diagram2009.PNG)</sub></center>
<div class = "text-justify">Per la prima volta è stato osservato un neutrino proveniente dalle profondità del cosmo, precisamente da un buco nero distante 4 miliardi di anni luce. L’osservazione del neutrino è stata accompagnata dalla rivelazione, da parte dei telescopi, di radiazione luminosa proveniente dallo stesso buco nero. In questo modo è stato possibile confermare che l’origine del neutrino fosse proprio il buco nero, ma questa osservazione è la prima in assoluto in cui vengono registrati questi due fenomeni (emissione di luce e neutrini), originati dallo stesso fenomeno cosmico. Si aprono quindi le porte dell’astronomia multi messaggero basata sui neutrini.

## <center>I ratti danneggiano le barriere coralline</center><br>
<div class="text-justify">Sembra che la presenza di ratti nelle zone costiere possa influenzare la vita dei coralli presenti nelle zone vicine. I coralli, per vivere, sfruttano tra le altre cose anche le sostanze nutritive provenienti dalle coste. Queste sostanze sono prevalentemente contenute nelle piante, che, una volta morte, vengono trasportate al mare dai fenomeni atmosferici. Secondo i ricercatori, la presenza di ratti diminuisce questo afflusso di sostanze nutritive, provocando così, una carenza di cibo per i coralli.</div>

## <center>L’ipotalamo e la fame </center><br><br>
<div class="text-justify">Sembra che un gruppo di neuroni situati nell’ipotalamo abbia un ruolo fondamentale per il controllo del senso della fame. La scoperta è stata fatta da un gruppo di ricercatori che, ha inizialmente notato come nei soggetti che presentano traumi e danni all’ipotalamo, il senso della fame risulti alterato. Gli scienziati hanno quindi incrementato o diminuito l’attività cerebrale di questi neuroni, scoprendo che, quando i neuroni erano più attivi, il senso della fame aumentava. </div>
