The Samsung Galaxy S26+ is not going to win any popularity contests, but it’s a solid middle-of-the-road smartphone that offers a good balance of features, support and price. Right now, the 512GB model is down to $900... Read more ›

Ранее я публиковал на Хабре относительно успешную статью «Негостеприимные красные карлики. Об ультрафиолетовой зоне обитаемости». В ней я упоминал, почему поблизости от многочисленных звёзд спектрального класса М (красных карликов) маловероятно возникновение жизни земного типа (на основе нуклеиновых кислот), поскольку высокая и нерегулярная активность звезды в ультрафиолетовом спектре не оставляет окна для образования клеточных организмов.
