The number of victims of the Noto earthquake in Japan or the Kumamoto earthquake
According to Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" reported on May 9, 93 people in Japan's Noto region have applied for the recognition of death from secondary disasters caused by the earthquake for their deceased families, and asked the Japanese government to pay disaster pensions. As the follow-up review and identification progresses, the number of victims of the Noto earthquake may exceed that of the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake in Japan.
On January 1 this year, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. According to data released by Ishikawa Prefecture, as of May 8, the number of people killed in the Noto area due to the earthquake was 245, of which 15 died due to secondary disasters caused by the earthquake, and the number of people designated is expected to increase significantly after that.
Regarding the disaster pension, the Japanese government stipulates that if the victim is a person who supports the family, he will give 5 million yen (about 232,000 yuan) to the family. In other cases, 2.5 million yen (about 116,000 yuan) will be given to the family.
The Webb telescope discovered that a planet outside the solar system may have an atmosphere
NASA announced on its official website on the 8th that an international team used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe and found that a hot extrasolar rocky planet may have an atmosphere.
The planet, codenamed Cancer 55e, is one of the five known planets in the star system Cancer 55, located about 41 light-years from Earth. The planet is about twice the diameter and 8.8 times the mass of the Earth, and its composition may be similar to that of the rocky planets of the solar system.
Using the near-infrared camera and mid-infrared instrument on board the Webb telescope, subtle changes in the light emitted by the planet and the release of heat energy were observed. The side of the planet toward the star was found to be cooler than expected, suggesting that the heat was relatively more evenly distributed on its surface.
The researchers explained that this was a "strong sign" of the presence of the atmosphere. The planet may have an atmosphere containing carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide that absorbs certain wavelengths of infrared light.
Although the planet is too hot to be inhabitable, researchers believe it could provide a unique window into the atmospheres of rocky planets, the interactions between the surface and interior of such planets, and will also provide clues to the early evolution of solar system planets that were once covered by magma oceans, such as Earth and Mars.
