Aerial photos of Brazilian cities by NASA 6u3h5e
A International Space StationAlso known as ISS, is a meeting point for several astronauts who have missions to fulfill outside Earth. Not only that, now NASA has made available a series of images captured by the ISS of cities around the world, including Brazilian ones. The records made on the ISS were made through a camera Nikon D5 and a 400 mm lens, this at an altitude generally around 415 km between the Space Station and Earth.
Among the cities that had their spatial record, we have Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Curitiba and also Brasilia, the federal capital. Captures are made at night, leaving the map to be traced only by the lights that illuminate the cities.
On the NASA website it is possible to check these images, or even through the Twitter ISS officer, which is @Space_Station. It's not very common to see this type of capture, so it's worth checking out these records!
Instagram subscription service 2d131o
Content creators work day and night trying to get new videos on their platforms, whether to get more reach and get more followers or to keep existing ones. A lot of this also involves the financial return that these creators can have, and Instagram is bringing a new tool precisely to help these content creators have one more source of monetization: the subscriptions.
Subscriptions provide interested followers with exclusive access to Stories e live streams, something that “ordinary followers” would not be able to see if they didn't pay the monthly access fee.
The values currently range from 1 to 100 dollars, at the discretion of the content creator. Despite being very similar to the existing “Close Friends”, which receive Stories for a specific group of followers, the subscription service will bring an even closer link between followers and content creators.
Some influencers around the world already have the feature available, including some Brazilians. When accessing their profile, below the follow button there is the button “Sign”. When you click there, you will see the benefits of the subscription and the monthly price. Do you already have a creator in mind that you would like to subscribe to?
10 years of Gangnam Style and its 1 billion views 2v1n5l
Having a video with many views is every content creator's dream, but can you imagine 1 billion views? For this feat, despite appearing to be very distant, is a reality that has been happening for ten years on YouTube. And this month we celebrated ten years since G became the first video to reach 1 billion views. Despite the video reaching the mark in six months, July 2012 was when it was published.
Gangnam Style with its fun little dance inaugurated what we know as BVC, or Billion Views Club, a group with some videos that have already achieved the feat of accumulating more than 1 billion views, most of them being songs. Among some of the of this club are the songs Slowly, by Luis Fonsi with Daddy Yankee, Waka Waka from Shakira, Nothing Else Matters from Metallica and many other hits that marked pop culture as a whole.
There are several curiosities that mark the Billion Views Club, such as the music video Hello, by Adele, which managed to reach 1 billion views in less than 3 months — exactly 88 days after its publication. Justin Bieber and J Balvin share the current leadership, both with 11 videos, between their own authorship and participation, also in the billion margin.
