Se filtran imágenes del HTC Hima, el nuevo buque insignia de los taiwaneses
Después de bastante semanas con continuas filtraciones, finalmente tenemos las primeras imágenes del que será el próximo buque insignia de HTC. Cada vez que llega una nueva generación de teléfonos los rumores de cambios radicales se acrecientan, pero como ya hemos visto en los últimos años, lo normal es que las diferencias de un año a otro sean más bien mínimas y casi se puedan considerar como una evolución.
Viendo estas primeras imágenes del HTC Hima (nombre que se le ha dado desde un principio pero que no es oficial) se confirma lo anterior, puesto que tenemos el mismo diseño que en el actual HTC One (M8). Esto choca un poco con lo que habíamos ido sabiendo en los últimos meses, puesto que el nombre de HTC Hima llegó con unos rumores muy fuertes de que la marca taiwanesa abandonaba su familia One para trabajar con nuevos productos.
Sea como sea, lo que sí que podemos confirmar son algunas cosas sobre dicho teléfono viendo este prototipo que se ha filtrado hoy y que hemos encontramos en Phone Arena. En primer lugar lo que destaca del dispositivo es que se mantendrá el tamaño de la pantalla, siendo esta de 5 pulgadas, a la vez que se mantendrá también la resolución Full HD y dejando olvidada en un rincón la no muy exitosa resolución QHD.
Por otro lado, un detalle que también destaca (de hecho es el que lo diferencia del HTC One (M8)) es la prominente cámara situada en la parte trasera. Sabíamos ya desde hace un tiempo que HTC había abandonado la idea de los ultrapíxeles, pero lo que vemos aquí es toda una declaración de intenciones con una resolución que se habla que pueda situarse en los 20 megapíxeles. La cifra por si sola no debería sorprendernos, lo importante es el resultado, pero viendo lo bien que trabajan las cámaras de HTC incluso con 4 megapíxeles, es factible pensar que va a marcar un antes y un después en la compañía.
En su interior vamos a seguir contando con el más que esperado procesador Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, lo que nos asegura una potencia más que suficiente. Además, también habría novedades en otro aspecto multimedia, puesto que se modificaría (nuevamente) el sistema de sonido. Con la inclusión de los altavoces frontales en el HTC One, los taiwaneses realizaron una apuesta muy interesante, para luego mejorarla en el HTC One (M8) gracias a lo que denominaron tecnología BoomSound. En este HTC Hima parece que irán un poco más allá, puesto que contarán con incluirán un sistema Dolby 5.1, lo que puede convertir el audio de este teléfono en lo mejor que hayamos podido escuchar nunca en Android.
El Mobile World Congress está a la vuelta de la esquina y las últimas filtraciones sitúan la presentación del nuevo buque insignia de HTC para el domingo 1 de marzo. Teniendo en cuenta que la propia compañía ya anunció que 2015 sería el año en el que presentaría su mejor catálogo de productos, la verdad es que no podemos estar más que expectantes para descubrir qué es lo que nos tienen preparado.

Antares Rocket Rolls Out at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility
An Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares rocket is seen as it is rolled out to Launch Pad-0A at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014 in advance of a planned Wednesday, Jan. 8th, 1:32 p.m. EST launch, Wallops Island, Va.
The Antares will launch a Cygnus spacecraft on a cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. The Orbital-1 mission is Orbital Sciences’ first contracted cargo delivery flight to the space station for NASA. Among the cargo aboard Cygnus set to launch to the space station are science experiments, crew provisions, spare parts and other hardware.

International Space Station Awaits Orbital-1 Resupply Mission
The sun shines through a truss-based radiator panel and a primary solar array panel on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station (ISS) in this photograph taken by an Expedition 38 crew member on Jan. 2, 2014.
The crew on the ISS is awaiting the first commercial resupply mission to the ISS by Orbital Sciences, Orbital-1. Orbital Sciences will proceed with a 1:07 p.m. EST launch attempt of the Orbital-1 cargo resupply mission to the ISS today, Thursday, Jan. 9.
Meanwhile, as more than 30 heads of space agencies from around the world gather in Washington Jan. 9-10 for an unprecedented summit on the future of space exploration, the Obama Administration has approved an extension of the ISS until at least 2024.

Volcanic Plume Over Southern Atlantic Ocean Revealed Through False-Color Imagery
The South Sandwich Islands, in the far southern Atlantic Ocean, are often shrouded with thick cloud, making it difficult to view the region from space. Sometimes, however, the use of false-color imagery can be used to reveal events that would otherwise be obscured under cloud cover.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite flew over the South Sandwich Islands on April 19, 2014 and acquired this false-color image of the cloudy scene.
This false-color image uses a combination of non-visible (middle infrared and infrared) and visible (red) light captured in bands 7, 2, and 1, respectively, to distinguish clouds from snow and ice. Here the ice-covered islands appear bright turquoise, the clouds light turquoise and the water in the ocean appears deep black. Because the volcanic plume is a moist mixture of gas and ash, it reflects all three forms of light relatively well, so it appears nearly white.
In the north of this image, a thin plume of white rises from the volcano on Zavodovski island, the northernmost of the South Sandwich Islands and streams to the northeast. Further south, a wider white plume can be seen blowing across the Atlantic Ocean. This plume rises from the Mount Michael volcano, which is a young and frequently active stratovolcano located on Saunders Island, near the center of the South Sandwich Island chain.
The white plume from Mount Michael forms a chain of swirling eddies as it blows to the northeast. To the south, similar eddies can be seen behind three other islands. These are known as Von Kármán vortices. These vortices can form nearly anywhere that fluid flow is disturbed by an object. Because the atmosphere behaves like a fluid, when streaming air hits a blunt object, such as a mountain peak, the wind is forced around the object. The disturbance in the flow of the wind propagates downstream in a double row of vortices that alternate their direction of rotation, much like the eddies seen behind a pier in a river as water rushes past.

Tracking and Data Relay Satellite Launches
The umbilical tower drops back from a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 rocket as it lifts off Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Launch, with NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite-K or TDRS-K aboard, was at 8:48 p.m. EST on Jan. 30.
The TDRS-K spacecraft is part of the next-generation series in the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, a constellation of space-based communication satellites providing tracking, telemetry, command and high-bandwidth data return services.

The U.S. Gulf Coast at Night
ISS040-E-090540 (9 Aug. 2014) — One of the Expedition 40 crew members aboard the International Space Station photographed this nighttime image showing city lights in at least half a dozen southern states from some 225 miles above the home planet. Lights from areas in the Gulf Coast states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, as well as some of the states that border them on the north, are visible.
