‘Lucy’s baby’ is barely two million years old
A pair of stereoscopic images of the asteroids Dinkinesh and Selam created with data collected by the L’LORRI camera on NASA’s Lucy spacecraft – NASA/GODDARD/SWRI/JOHNS HOPKINS APL
MADRID, 6 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
An asteroid dubbed ‘Lucy’s baby’ after a NASA spacecraft discovered that is orbiting another asteroid last November it is only between 2 and 3 million years old.
Using novel statistical calculations, a team at Cornell University derived the age of Selam, a ‘moon’ surrounding the small asteroid Dinkinesh in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, based solely on dynamics or how the pair moves through space. His calculation agrees with one from NASA’s Lucy mission based on an analysis of surface craters, the most traditional method for dating asteroids.
The new method complements that work and has some advantages: it does not require an expensive spacecraft to capture close-up images, it could be more accurate in cases where asteroid surfaces have undergone recent changes, and it can be applied to secondary bodies in dozens. from other known binary systems, which rep

Venezuelan dictatorship creates pension law so that the private sector pays it
As one more threat to the private sector and in the desperate search for money, the Venezuelan dictatorship intends to create a law that makes private companies pay 15% of their payroll to a pension fund administered by the Seniat.
That money will never be used for pensions and will magically disappear from the government’s coffers as they have done with all the money that has been stolen, including the $23 billion that Tarek El Aissami stole with the consent of the Maduro dictatorship.
Here is part of the text of the new law.
LAW FOR THE PROTECTION OF SOCIAL SECURITY PENSIONS AGAINST THE IMPERIALIST BLOCKADE
STATEMENT OF MOTIVES
The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in its article 86, recognizes the right of every person to social security as a non-profit public service that guarantees health and ensures protection in contingencies of maternity, paternity, illness, disability, catastrophic illnesses, disabilities, special needs, occupational risks, loss of employment, unemployment, old age, widowhood, orphanhood, housing, burdens derived from family life and any other social security circumstance.
To guarantee the effectiveness of this right, the Constitution orders the creation of a universal, comprehensive social security system, with solidarity, unitary, efficient and participatory financing, with direct or indirect contributions, in which the absence of contributory capacity is not a reason. to exclude people from its protection.
Additionally, the Constitutional Text establishes a floor or minimum value for old-age pensions, which in no case may be lower than the national urban minimum wage. With this, the Constitution protects the rights of older adults and guarantees their dignity, autonomy and quality of life.
In compliance with the provisions of the Constitution, the National Executive has built a social security system that has made it possible to achieve the universality of old-age pensions, marking a clear contrast with the exclusionary model that characterized the Fourth Republic.
In fact, before 1999 only 350 thousand people were beneficiaries of the old-age pension. That is, only 19.6% of the population of pension age enjoyed that right. On the other hand, currently more than 5.5 million people receive old-age pensions, reaching 100% coverage.
Now, as a result of the multiform aggression promoted by the government of the United States of America (USA), since at least 2014, Venezuela’s social security system has been
significantly affected, as are the vast majority of the social rights of the Venezuelan population. As the Special Rapporteur on the negative repercussions of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights noted in 2021, after visiting the country, the so-called “sanctions” have had a “devastating effect” on the human rights of the Venezuelan people.
Indeed, the more than 930 unilateral coercive measures adopted illegally and illegitimately against the country have reduced the State’s capabilities to obtain financial resource
