Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, over 11 times wider than Earth. It is made primarily of hydrogen and helium gases and has no solid surface.

Granny March is a mythical figure in Bulgarian folklore who marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. On March 1st, Bulgarians celebrate Granny March's day by exchanging martenitsas, which are red and white bracelets. The white color symbolizes light and purity while red symbolizes health, conception, and birth. According to legend, the first martenitsa was created by Achinora, the wife of Khan Asparuh in the 7th century, when she tied a message of health and love to a bird but its legs bled onto the white thread, turning it red.Galileo Galilei

Galileo Galilei first observed the four largest moons of Jupiter - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto - in 1610 using a telescope. He recognized that they were orbiting Jupiter, which challenged the geocentric model at the time. The document then provides details on each of the Galilean moons, describing their sizes, compositions, potential for liquid water and life, and notable features. Galileo's discovery supported the Copernican model of the solar system and was a major breakthrough in astronomy.Volcano, natural phenomenon

Volcanoes occur at places where tectonic plates meet. On Earth, this includes places where plates are diverging, like at mid-ocean ridges, or converging, as in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A volcano forms when hot lava, ash, and gases escape through a rupture in a planet's crust from a magma chamber below the surface. Examples of volcanoes in Europe include the Cha樽ne de Puys in France and volcanoes in Greece, Georgia, and Iceland, where there are over 30 named volcanic systems.Uranus

It has an atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen with small amounts of carbon dioxide and a population of 7.53 billion humans. The Earth also has oceans, lakes and rivers and has the Moon as its natural satellite.Erasmus +the moon

Jupiter has the most moons of any planet in the solar system with 79 known moons, while Venus and Mercury have no moons. Mars has 2 moons, Saturn has 53 moons, Uranus has 27 moons, and Neptune has 14 moons. The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the fifth largest in the solar system. The phases of the Moon affect health, mood, and tides on Earth. Easter is a religious holiday linked to astronomy as it falls on the first Sunday after the first lunar charge after March 31 each year.God Mercury

God Mercury was a major Roman god associated with financial gain, commerce, travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery, and thieves. He was equivalent to the Greek god Hermes. As a messenger of the gods, Mercury was often depicted with winged sandals and a winged hat. He was worshipped during the Mercuralia festival in Rome, where merchants would sprinkle water from his sacred well. Mercury's temple in Rome was located in the Circus Maximus between two hills and was built in 495 BC.Venus the-goddess-1

Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, desire, prosperity, and victory. She was adapted from the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Venus and Aphrodite are considered to be the same goddess. According to myth, Venus was born from sea foam and floated ashore on a seashell. She was later married to the god Hephaestus but often had affairs with Mars. Venus was known for her great beauty and was often depicted nude in sculptures and paintings.Venus

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and has no moons or rings. It has a surface temperature of around 900 degrees Fahrenheit due to a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere that creates a strong greenhouse effect. Venus spins backwards very slowly, with its day lasting over 200 Earth days. The interior of Venus is likely similar to Earth's, with a metallic core, rocky mantle, and crust. It has a similar size to Earth but its atmosphere and clouds prevent visibility of the surface except with radar.Ad

This presentation showcases how Bio-Energized systems transform water treatment from a costly burden into a life-saving, energy-generating, and climate-positive solution. By harnessing natures genius (like algae and anammox bacteria), we address interconnected crisesfloods, disease, energy poverty, and CO emissionsin one scalable system.IEA H2 TCP Task 52 Hydrogen for Iron and Steel Making

- 3. SOME INFORMATION Located in the Northeast of the country in the municipalities of Bragan巽a and Vinhais Created in 1979 One of the largest protected areas in Portugal. Symbol: chestnut flower
- 4. Area: 75 000 hectares, includes about 9000 inhabitants spread over 92 villages. Succession of hills and valleys deeply embedded, with altitudes ranging from 438 to 1481mt where villages, nestled in sheltered and discrete points, may be easily unnoticed by the casual visitor .
- 5. FLORA Very varied due to geographical location and great geological and climate variability of northern Portugal. Higher areas: species of Atlantic climate regions such as heather (Erica cinerea) and grass (Agrostis curtisii). Lower areas: typically Mediterranean vegetation with plants like the spurge flax (Daphne gnidium), the gum rock rose (Cistus lanadifer), the sage-leaved rock rose (Cistus salviifolius) and the butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus). Heather Grass Spurge flax Gum rock rose Butcher's broom
