The Zone of Avoidance is a region of the sky that's obscured by the disk of the Milky Way. The gas and dust block our view in visible telescopes, but other wavelengths like radio and infrared can pierce it to see what's on the other side. Astronomers used the MeerKAT radio telescope to survey beyond the Zone, observing hundreds of galaxies, of which only 29% were already known. This is helping to map the Great Attractor galaxy cluster on the far side of the Milky Way.

Německému kancléři Olafu Scholzovi selhala zdržovací taktika. Po rozpadu vlády počítal s vypsáním předčasných voleb v březnu příštího roku. S tímto plánem narazil, volby proběhnou už 23. února. Opoziční favorit na kancléře Friedrich Merz prosazuje silnější podporu Ukrajiny. 

Pro hromadné násilí proti Izraelcům v holandském Amsterdamu jen proto, že jsou Židé, se vžilo slovo „pogrom“. I když je původem z ruštiny, dobře vystihuje smysl události – je to pokus o genocidu v malém. Jak známo, v kapce mořské vody je vždy přítomen celý oceán se všemi jeho příznaky a kvalitami. Leč ve většině znaleckých posudků k amsterdamskému pogromu se zračí snaha nepochopit, nebo za každou cenu pokřivit jeho niterný původ a význam.

In its Mac mini announcement video last month, Apple briefly mentioned an "upcoming" version of Final Cut Pro for the Mac. We believe that Apple will likely announce the update later today, as the annual Final Cut Pro Creative Summit conference begins today and involves a visit to Apple Park starting at 2 p.m. Pacific Time today. Final Cut Pro version 10.7 was shown off during the same Apple Park day of the conference last year.


Final Cut Pro received its most recent feature update to version 10.8 in June. New features included an Enhance Light and Color effect, a Smooth Slo-Mo option for slow-motion visuals, advanced search and filtering in the timeline index, and more.

Following a bug-fix update in August, Final Cut Pro is now on version 10.8.1. It is quite possible that the next version will be Final Cut Pro 11, rather than 10.9, given that Logic Pro went from version 10.8.1 to 11.0 earlier this year.

We recently recapped three new features that Apple already said are coming to Final Cut Pro for the Mac later this year, including spatial video editing, AI-generated video effects, and automatic AI-generated captions. An image of Final Cut Pro in the Mac mini announcement video last month also showed an unreleased "Magnetic Mask" feature that will likely allow users to isolate moving objects in the foreground of videos.
