The press release enthused:

The veteran rover captured a dazzling sunset at the start of a new cloud imaging campaign.

Most Martian sunsets are gloomy, NASA said, but the Curiosity rover captured one exception last month. As the Sun dipped below the horizon on February 2, 2023, beams of light illuminated the cloud bank. These “sun rays” are also known as Crepuscular rays. This was the first time that the rays of the sun or twilight were so clearly visible on Mars.

NASA also shared another interesting photo. On January 27, Curiosity captured a set of colorful feather clouds. Some of these clouds can create an iridescent image as they shimmer in the sun.

Curiosity captured twilight rays and iridescent clouds as panoramas, each stitched together from 28 images sent back to Earth. The images have been processed by NASA to highlight key features.

More than 10 years have passed since NASA Curiosity landed on the Red Planet. The rover was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 26, 2011 and landed on Mars on August 6, 2012.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will get brand new and fully

According to recent data, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 single-chip system can receive a 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 format configuration.

Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will get brand new and fully 64-bit cores

According to insider Kuba Wojciechowski, we are waiting for one Hunter ELP super-core, which Qualcomm itself will call Kryo Gold Plus, two Hunter cores (Titanium), three Hunter cores (Gold) and two Hayes (Silver). The platform itself is codenamed Lanai or Pineapple.

If we compare this with early information, then we are probably talking about Cortex-X4, Cortex-A715, Cortex-A710 and Cortex-A510 / 515. However, the insider says that the Hunter and Hayes cores, that is, all cores, will be completely new solutions, that is, apparently, not Cortex-A715 and the others listed above. The new cores will not support 32-bit computing, which means that all 2024 flagships that will receive Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will be fully 64-bit following the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro.

In addition, the new platform will receive an Adreno 750 GPU with a frequency of 770 MHz, although this is not the final value.

Wojciechowski was previously the first to point out that Xiaomi will switch to using JLQ platforms. In addition, he was the first to discover information about the modified configuration of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
